Thursday, 18.11.2010 |
 Time to celebrate! Need for Speed Hot Pursuit was finally released in Europe AND we want to celebrate our 10-year anniversary! This is why we set up an Anniversary Competition to give out some cool prizes!
Although, we thought one competition won't be enough for this occasion, so we decided to create a series of raffles, to challenge you in different ways. The first competition will be our  Quiz-Challenge, where you have to use your head show your knowledge about Need for Speed.
So let's see how much you really love NFS! Core NFS fans shouldn't have any problems with the questions, but if you're new to Need for Speed, you might find the answers on NFS-Planet. ;)
You can win one of the following prizes:
- 7x NFS Hot Pursuit Package (2 Poster, NFS HP Cup, Keychain)
- 1x PS3 Blu-Ray Disc Remote Control + Keychain
- 1x
- 1x NFS Shift T-Shirt
Many thanks to Electronic Arts for sponsoring of the prizes!
The Quiz Challenge runs until November 28th 2010 and after that we will start the next part of our Anniversary Competition, with new chances for everybody.
Good luck!

| Shift 2 Unleashed announced! |
Tuesday, 16.11.2010 |
EA announced the successor of Need for Speed Shift: The Slightly Mad Studios are working on Shift 2 Unleashed, which will be released in Spring 2011!
Watch the announcement trailer:
Electronic Arts today announced SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED, the next entry in the blockbuster Need for Speed simulation series. The original SHIFT game was released in September 2009 and has sold through close to five million copies globally. Its success was propelled by the revolutionary true driver's experience - a game design that was heralded by critics as more visceral, more physical and more intense than any other title in the sim category. Capturing the physicality and brutality of racing at 200mph has been the leading area of innovation by the award-winning development team at Slightly Mad Studios. SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED builds on the true drivers experience by introducing the driver's battle, an even more authentic and primal feeling of power and speed which elevates the fundamental competitive race into a struggle for supremacy against other drivers and even the track itself. In SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED, players' hands sweat and ache as they clutch onto the controller, their pulse races from the break-neck speeds experienced through the first-person cockpit view. Launching in Spring 2011, SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED pushes the envelope with the most authentic and intense racing experience in the genre. The world debut trailer of SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED was revealed today as bonus content for the action racing Need for Speed title, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit.
"SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED is redefining immersive racing by blending the rush of tearing up the track at unbelievable speeds with the emotional experience of competitive battle," said Marcus Nilsson, Executive Producer, SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED. "We are also working closely with real-world performance drivers to ensure that SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED captures their experience and becomes the benchmark in authentic racing action."
SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED features an all-new rendering engine with a massive graphics overhaul that puts the player in the heart of the racing action. With an innovative helmet camera view simulating the physical experience of driving at 200mph, the thrilling experience of night racing and authentic degradation of tracks and cars, this is tomorrow's sim for today's adrenaline fueled racer. SHIFT 2 UNLEASHED also incorporates the next generation of Need for Speed Autolog - the groundbreaking network that connects friends for epic head-to-head races and compares player stats for the ultimate social racing competition

| NFS Hot Pursuit Demo expired due to Server-Switch |
Tuesday, 16.11.2010 |
 The demo of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit on Xbox360 and Playstation3 expired on November 9th, 2010.
In the latest Major Nelson Podcast Creative Director Craig Sullivan explains why:
"The reason is that we switched the servers over to now support the main game. We wanted to put it out there and see what people liked and what people didn’t like," said Sullivan. "It’s the case that we believe that when we ship a game and people buy it, we have to provide a service, and party of that service is making sure that whenever you’re playing online, or whenever you’re playing with the cable in the back of the machine and you’re connected through Autolog, that everything works really well.
It’s our job to ensure the quality of that service. We put the demo out there to give people a taste of what’s to come and get people’s feedback, but also to just make sure the systems are really solid.
Switching over to the production servers is making sure that we’ve done our learning from the demo; that’s why it was time-limited, and that’s why we’re ready to rock when the game comes out."

If you want to play the Hot Pursuit demo anyway, you can set the time of your console to an earlier date than November 9th and then you can start the demo again. The Autolog features are turned off of course, but singleplayer is still possible.
