| New NFS: Need for Speed Hot Pursuit? |
Sunday, 13.06.2010 |
As previously reported Criterion Games is working on a new Need for Speed, which is being presented soon at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles.
As it seems in a video at Gametrailers leaked the name of the new NFS during a presentation of the E3. According to the following screens, the new NFS will have the name Need for Speed Hot Pursuit:
The name Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, or as shown on one of the pictures - Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Race is quite interesting, as the third NFS game already carried the title "Hot Pursuit" and EA Black Box made a predecessor with "Hot Pursuit 2". We'll see, what Criterion Games will show us on Monday at the E3.
We'll keep you updated.

| Criterion Games Countdown for new NFS? |
Friday, 11.06.2010 |
Today the website of Criterion Games launched a large countdown, without any further notice.
As the new Need for Speed is being presented on this year's E3 in Los Angeles (from 15th to 17th June), we can assume the countdown might be about the new Need for Speed title, which is currently in the works by Criterion Games.
The countdown ends on June 14th, 2010 at um 22:00 (GMT). We'll see, what happens once this point is reached, but it is likely that it's the new NFS which is planned for release in autumn/winter 2010. Once we know more, you'll get to know here.

| Need for Speed: Red Line? |
Wednesday, 19.05.2010 |
As recently reported EA registered a pile of new domain names, of which one of them might be the name of the new Need for Speed game, scheduled for release at the end of 2010.
Criterion Games posted several mysterious cryptic twitter messages, as for example this tweet:
Red Lining It.... (8:58 AM May 18th via web)
An hint to the name Need for Speed: Red Line? Or just a plain tweet without any real sense or background? The next tweet "All The Way And Making It Pay..." doesn't make things clearer...
What do you think? I guess we'll have to wait for the E3 in mid-June until we get more information.
Thanks to John for the heads up

| Possible Names for Criterion's new NFS |
Tuesday, 18.05.2010 |
As reported several times, Criterion Games is apparently working on a new Need for Speed title.
Recently the domain registrar "Corporate Service Company" registered a bunch of new domains, which might be a hint to the title of the next Need for Speed:
- Need for Speed: Boost
- Need for Speed: Drift Kings
- Need for Speed: Eliminator
- Need for Speed: Lightning
- Need for Speed: No Limits
- Need for Speed: Overdrive
- Need for Speed: Proven
- Need for Speed: Red Line
- Need for Speed: Showdown
- Need for Speed: Street Kings
- Need for Speed: Takedown
- Need for Speed: The Run
- Need for Speed: Time Attack
- Need for Speed: Underground East
Sounds quite interesting...one of these names is possibly the name of the next Need for Speed. What's you opinion?
More information is expected at the E3 in Los Angeles in June. The new Need for Speed title is scheduled for release in autumn 2010.

Friday, 07.05.2010 |
As rumoured multiple times, it seems as Criterion Games (the creators of Burnout) is working on an yet unknown Need for Speed title.
Now the official twitter-feed of Criterion Games contains a new tweet, which supposedly means that the new game is being presented on this year's E3:
Soon...........all will be revealed........in the City of Angels.......!
City of Angels is the well-known city Los Angeles, where the E3 Expo takes place from June 15th to 17th 2010. So stay tuned for more...

| Rumour: NFS Hot Pursuit Remake & NFS Shift 2? |
Saturday, 06.03.2010 |
Need for Speed all around: Need for Speed World started this weekend its (western) betaphase, but there are two more NFS titles in the works, which will be released in Q4 2010 and Q1 2011. (We wrote about that here.)
Now we heard a rumour, that this year's NFS will be a Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, possibly a remake of the classic NFS III Hot Pursuit (1998). According to the name, we might can expect the return of police pursuits. It's not known yet, if the game will contain an open world.
If we can believe previous rumours, this might be the title Criterion Games is working on, who are the creators of the successful Burnout-series.
The second game is planned for release in the 1st quarter in 2011. As it seems, it'll be a successor of NFS Shift and possibly carry the name Need for Speed Shift 2. Given the success of NFS Shift this seems to be a logical step of EA.
As soon as we have more information, we'll keep you updated.

| Releasedates of NFS World & other NFS titles |
Tuesday, 09.02.2010 |
Electronic Arts published its third quarter fiscal year 2010 results - apart from financial details, this report also unveils several release dates of upcoming titles.
The interesting thing is, that three new Need for Speed games seem to hit the stores within the 1-2 years:
- Need for Speed World (PC): April-June 2010
- Need for Speed TBA (PC, Console, Handheld): October-December 2010
- Need for Speed TBA (PC, Console): January-March 2011
NFS World is obviously the Online Racer, whose Betaphase will start soon. One of the other two titles might be the Need for Speed developed by Criterion Games? (At least according to several rumours...)
But the third one? According to rumours in 2009 maybe EA Black Box is also working on a new NFS title - could that be true? We will see...

| Rumour: Need for Speed: Out of the Law - UPDATE: Fake |
Monday, 11.01.2010 |
Update: The information in this news was confirmed to be fake: please scroll down for more information.
As already reported, Criterion Games is working on a new Need for Speed title. There wasn't much information about this game, until now: the russian website NFSUnlimited.ru published possible screenshots of this NFS, which seem to reveil the title of the game: Need for Speed: Out of the Law:
It's not sure, whether we can believe this information or not, but according to the russian website the game will make its turn to street racing. Only this time you won't drive super-expensive exotics, but sports cars like the Nissan Skyline R32, or Mazda MX-5. Another interesting detail: for the first time in the history of the NFS series this game will presumably contain motorcycles! Maybe also SUVs. Additionally you will be able to choose your personal number plate on each machine.
The game will be set in the fictional city Sun-Bay, which will have San Francisco as its prototype. The size of the city should be a bit larger than the one in Need for Speed Undercover.
The police will have an extended vehicle arsenal, presumably patrol motorcycles.
So far, these is quite interesting information, although you have to be very careful with what to believe. It wouldn't be the first time, that people spread false information. Particularly the second screenshot with the BMW seems to be a fake, since it looks like existing pictures from previous NFS titles. As soon as we know more, we'll let you know.
UPDATE: As Criterion Games announced, the pictures and information about this new NFS is definitely a fake and not true. Unfortunately this was expected...

| Next NFS from Criterion confirmed for 2010 |
Wednesday, 11.11.2009 |
The Need for Speed series is changing and made successful relaunch with Need for Speed Shift. Also the latest Need for Speed Nitro for Nintendo Wii and DS, which was released last week, received some good critics.
We already wrote about a new NFS which is being developed by Criterion Games. As Joystiq reports, this new Need for Speed title is planned for a release in 2010. EA Games label president Frank Gibeau mentioned: "In recent years, we failed to put adequate resources behind the franchise and, as a result, quality suffered". And: "Next year's Need for Speed has been under development now for some time at our award-winning Criterion Studio."
There are no details about this upcoming Need for Speed yet, but as Criterion developed the successful Burnout series, it's likely that this title will go more towards arcade and crashing...we will see...
