Medal of Honor: Warfighter stage co-created by Need For Speed team

Medal of Honor: Warfighter features a driving mission that was developed alongside Need for Speed team members, it has been revealed.

Titled 'Hot Pursuit', the mission is a first-person car chase as a suspect drives recklessly through Karachi, Pakistan, racing from the docks through to city streets, the Empress Market and ultimately the city slums.

Senior designer Ben Jones explained that Need for Speed developers helped contribute to making the driving stage.

"The level itself was inspired by conversations with the Tier 1 consultants, and they talk all the time about observing, being in a car and the chases they get in, focusing on guys and getting the most intel they can," he said.

"That is a big part of what they do, so it was important we try and integrate that into the game."

Thats awesome. It would be nice to traverse certain levels in a Lamborghini aventador

RedDeadLB4219d ago

Hope to god it isn't the BlackBox studio helping. Their car handling is crap.

mynameisEvil4219d ago

It's kind of funny to see someone say that, considering no one was complaining when they made Hot Pursuit, Underground, Underground 2, and Most Wanted.

But yeah, they definitely dropped the ball with The Run. *shudders*

RedDeadLB4218d ago

They dropped the ball after Carbon handling wise. The cars felt like tanks. Don't you remember Undercover? Pro street?

After seeing the gameplay trailer of that particular mission, it seems like it really isn't BlackBox but Slightly Mad Studios instead. Which is a very good thing.

mynameisEvil4218d ago

I remember Carbon, Undercover, and ProStreet. I just don't remember how those games handled. Actually, no, I take that back. I remember Undercover clearly in that I never even did the first face because I started it up and was so horrified with the handling that I immediately got rid of the game.

But here's hoping it is Slightly Mad. Those guys have a lot of talent.

RedDeadLB4217d ago

Check out the trailer and you'll see why I'm saying it's Slightly Mad ;)

mynameisEvil4217d ago

Well, I must be blind, because all I see are 4 screenshots. :/

9 Video Game Sequels So Bad They Killed The Series

Alongside death, taxes and terrible Adam Sandler movies, video game sequels are just another crushing inevitability of life. Sequels and franchises are the lifeblood of the industry, so you can bet any halfway successful game will be aiming towards at least five more follow-ups and spin-offs in pursuit of more delicious money.

Yet even major franchises tend to run themselves into the ground eventually, where they can either reboot themselves and come back stronger than ever (think the new Tomb Raider games) or stay buried in the past.

Old school would be Wolfenstein, Doom, Hexen, Duke Nukem, and Rise of the Triad.

More recently Half-Life 2, BioShock (original), Wolfenstein the new order, Timesplitters 2, Medal of Honour.

Some personal favourites Singularity, Resistance series, Killzone Series, Bulletstorm, Dishonored.

Kallisti2823d ago (Edited 2822d ago )

Duke Nukem was a side scroller on Dos

@robition Duke Nukem wasn't a FPS 'til the 3rd one, Duke Nukem 3D

robtion2822d ago

Sure. Talking about FPS's here though.

Great concept(Nectar) and fun but a bit of an iffy execution and didn't live up to its promise. I finished it at launch. Shame they didn't quite get it right.

5 Video Games That Ruined Their Franchises Badly

The video game industry is one based on the backs of its scholarly properties. Like movies and books, it’s a space that draws vigorously on strong sequels and innovative new thoughts. Notwithstanding, not all sequels surpass the enormity of their forerunners, and a chosen few of them check the start of the end for their →

Assassin's Creed series was ruined after Black Flag, Ubisoft made it annually game. I played Dead Space 1 and 2; were awesome but Dead Space 3 failed to make gosip. As MOH Warfighter was good game

NukaCola2878d ago

Black Flag was the redeemer after 3. ACIV is my favorite of the series. Unity was bad, Syndicate is actually pretty good. So they are up and down. As for Dead Space, I thought the original was like Uncharted series. The first one was a great story and a little rough, but #2 was incredible through and through. Uncharted 3 is awesome, unfortunately DS3 was indeed a terrible terrible game. Warfighter was a good game, but aren't we all burned out on shooters???

Stupid2878d ago

That's right Assassin's Creed series had awesome games till AC Black Flag, AC III was terrible

monkeyDzoro2878d ago

I disagree on AC Black Flag. Black Flag was a good PIRATE game but a very mediocre AC.

CoNn3r_B2878d ago

I preferred Revelations over Brotherhood. AC Brotherhood had such a boring story while AC Revelations tied everything up very well for Ezio and Altair, if I was going to pick a game where it all started going downhill for me it would be AC 3 but despite that AC 1,2, Brotherhood, Revelations, 4, Rogue and Syndicate are all good games.

RondoMachete2878d ago

Lost Planet as far as I remember went like dead space with the third game (round based type play) it just felt like it was just a map clearing game with multiple horde survival. Call Of duty went and died long ago. Ghosts didn't help its cause but now we have three development houses it's going from bad to worse. GTA to me anyway was saved with five to me the driving up until then was awful. Mario and sonics died along time ago to in my eyes.

Bobafret2878d ago

These titles get worse and worse.
