EA Preps A Next-Gen Need For Speed?
See Full ImageWe can always use more Need for Speed.
Although Need for Speed: Most Wanted is slated to hit on October 30, Electronic Arts is already looking forward to the next installment in the esteemed racing franchise.
Thanks to an eagle-eyed reader, we turn our attention to EA's Gothenburg's website, where they're looking for people to work on a brand new Need for Speed entry. The message on the main page reads:
"Would you like to be a part of EA? Would you like to work on a game in the Need for Speed franchise? You now have the opportunity to become a part of EA Gothenburg and fulfill those two wishes."
There are no less than 16 positions available, and perhaps the most interesting part is that EA Garthenburg is preparing for the "new generation of games," which sort of implies that this fresh NFS effort will be for next-gen consoles. Now is about the right time to begin staffing up for such a project, as a variety of rumors have hinted at a 2013 launch for either the new Xbox or PlayStation (or both).
Either way, NFS is definitely one of those titles we can't leave behind. It's just too iconic to die.

I respect Criterion, but I'm not a fan of putting Burnout influences into other possible, upcoming NFS games. NFS: MW may work, but I don't want the Burnout "feel" in all of the NFS games, because Criterion has yet to prove they can go out of their realm and create something that's totally unrelated to their Burnout franchise.

Until the next gen can wow me with incredible crash physics and graphics, I might just have to wait a little while.

That said, I don't think we'll see FFvsXIII or Last Guardian till next gen consoles. They either release next year, or coincide with the next gen consoles. Then again, we have a lot of 2013 PS3 games to look forward to, and possibly beyond.

funny EA finally returns to the last game that was successful for them, and instead of doing a direct sequel they try to turn it into burnout.
so why couldent they release burnout in the first place?
because it does not have the name power NFS does?
god i f*cking hate this generations publisher obsession with brand names!
