NFS The Run: Interview with Jason DeLong and Steve Anthony

NFS The Run: Interview with Jason DeLong and Steve Anthony

Monday, 06.06.2011

Gamerzines sat down with Executive Producer Jason DeLong and Out-Of-Car Lead Producer Steve Anthony and made an interesting interview about the upcoming Need for Speed: The Run.

About the biggest innovation, that you'll be able to leave your car for the first time in the history of Need for Speed, DeLong says:

We've tried to tell stories in the past with Need For Speed but testing and conversations have revealed that it's hard to feel connected to the character when we assume that we're the character, because we'll always have the actors looking into the camera and talking to you. At some point there's a fourth wall that gets broken and you don't really believe you're that racer, whereas if you apply a believable character to that game, like a movie or a great game, you care for that character. In Drake's Fortune you care for what happens to Nathan Drake; you're not him but you're playing that character. So the introduction of a character was a way for us to tell a story in a way we haven't been able to before.

Read much more, also about the Quick Time Events, a little bit about the story, the Frostbite 2 engine and the experiences with Undercover. Very worth reading:
