NFS Most Wanted on Wii U better than PS3/X360? Saturday, 23.02.2013
MW2In an Video Interview at GamesRadar, Alex Ward from Criterion Games gives a little insight in the upcoming Wii U version of Need for Speed Most Wanted. There he mentions that the Wii U has more memory than PS3/Xbox360, so they were able to use the PC textures and assets to provide a higher graphics quality with more details, increased drawing distance and improved lightning.

NFS Most Wanted Wii U


Mostly Alex Ward shows in the video the new Co-Driver mode, which should make optimal use the the Wii U features and gives a second player the control over the world, traffic and cops, which gives himthe possibility to support the main player in its stressful races and cop chases.

NFS Most Wanted: Playstation Vita Friday, 26.10.2012
MW2Need for Speed Most Wanted will also be released for Playstation Vita! For the developer Criterion Games this is a huge step, as it is the first Need for Speed game developed internally by the team for any handheld system.

The PS Vita version is a port of the Playstation 3 version, so that you get 98% of the races and events plus a few events exclusive to the PSVita. You also get all the cars from the PlayStation 3 game.

NFS Most Wanted auf PS Vita


In the online mode you can drive in the open world Fairhaven with up to 4 players (instead of 8, as on PS3), but you get all the collectibles, speed cameras, Jack Spots, the Milestone events for each car and of course it's all wired up to Autolog.
Since the PS Vita is not always connected to the internet, you have an offline version of the Most Wanted List, which will sync with your online profile once you get online.

The Vita version of NFS Most Wanted will be available on October 30th.

NFS Most Wanted: Control your Mods with Kinect Thursday, 06.09.2012
MW2Criterion implemented some nice Features with the Microsoft Kinect in Need for Speed Most Wanted.
Let's say you're being chased by cops and want to add mods through the EasyDrive menu. With Kinect you don't have to navigate through the menu, you can just say what you want.

For example "Mods, Nitrous, Burn Nitrous" will equip your car instantly with an extra boost that you need.
Need some slicks for the asphalt? Just say "Mods, Tires, Slicks" and done.

Sounds pretty neat!

EA Gothenburg working on Next-Gen Need for Speed? Tuesday, 28.08.2012
MW2According to » Videogamer EA Gothenburg could be working on a new Next-Gen Need for Speed title. EA Gothenburg was formed in March 2012 to develop a "a new generation of games on the Frostbite 2 engine".

A producer at EA Gothenburg mentioned in his » LinkedIn profile that he's working on a Need for Speed title and the fact that Criterion VP Alex Ward is known to be working with EA Gothenburg too, points to the development of a new Need for Speed title.

So far EA has not yet announced which games will be in development by this studio, so we will see - maybe next year's Need for Speed is in develepment at EA Gothenburg rather than EA Black Box?

(Thanks to JohnnyBNL for the info.)
