NFS The Run: Hands-On at P3Zines

NFS The Run: Hands-On at P3Zines

Thursday, 16.06.2011

Gamerzines took a closer look at Need for Speed: The Run and featured a five-page article in the web magazine P3Zines.
An interesting detail might be the possible implementation of a flashback-feature, similar to the one in DiRT 3.

Excerpt:
Of course, you might be wondering how all that fits in with Autolog – after all, the very principle of Autolog is to test your skill, and QTEs aren’t exactly the most taxing mechanic. We’re told that the out- of-car sequences don’t contribute to your overall time, and to save frustration when it comes to honing your run, they’ll be skippable once you’ve completed the level. An icon hidden in the HUD also suggests that a time-rewind mechanic similar to DiRT 3’s flashback system may be introduced – something which will no doubt add another tactical edge to Autolog competition – although at this point Black Box seems reluctant to go into any detail.
Despite a dented confidence, after just a couple of hours spent with Black Box it’s clear that the team’s ambition for The Run is reassuringly high and encouragingly ballsy.
“We’re shooting for a 90+ game,” concludes Anthony. “We don’t care whether or not the critics give it to us because of the baggage at Black Box. If we think we’ve delivered a 90 that’s all that matters. Consumers will tell us one way or the other.”
