Frostbite allows NFS The Run to look stunning, says dev

EA Black Box, the Canada-based developer behind Need For Speed: The Run, has said that Frostbite 2 is not only the best engine it has used in a game to date, but 'the most versatile', too.

Asked by VideoGamer.com if Frostbite 2 was the best engine it had ever used, Jason Delong, executive producer at EA Black Box said: "Absolutely. It's by far the most versatile engine - it gives us so much that we expected, but also so much that we didn't expect, which was a really nice thing."

Looks like EA's got an interesting strategy here. Develop an in-house engine, save money on licensing costs to Epic, meanwhile being the exclusive provider of 'frostbite-powered' games. Them leading on the PS3 is the cherry on top.

As for gamers, it's all win.

They are leading on PC now.

Most wanted 2012 imo was awful, on PS3 the graphics are dreadful, and the crash cam was very annoying. Rival is the worst imo, hated that game. My favourite is Hot Pursuit, great game. Also Shift 1&2 are really good.

OnlyThoseOnTheFence1722d ago

High Stakes will always be my favorite. Great cars, great music, and you could see through the windows which was pretty mind-blowing at the time. Best of all it was ricer-free.

steven83r1722d ago

Lame. The list doesn't even include any of the originals. NFS 1 and NFS hot Pursuit 1998. Must be a youngster who created the list.

CYALTR1721d ago

He clearly stated that being this was an Xbox centered site he was going to limit his list to games that released on some form of Xbox. He also stated he had been playing them since OG PLaystation, so pretty sure he's not a "youngster"

From my personal experience NFS I personally don't like.......
The Worst : Underground 2 , Carbon, Prostreets, Undercover, Porche unleashed, Nitro, NFS World, 2012 Mostwanted, Rivals, 2015 Reboot last but not least Paycrap.
Best NFS I personally like :
All ps1 NFS : HighStakes (the best) including NFS 3 Hotpursuit , ps2 Hotpursuit 2 (Excellent game ) ..Underground ( Best so far)
2005 Mostwanted ( Excellent game) Shift 1/2 (Spectacular) remind me of GT , 2010 Hotpursuit Great game but race Waaaaaaay to long in my personal opinion . Last but not least The Run . these are my favorite NFS titles .
After The Run in my personal opinion NFS went down hill fast with Open world mapping crap, always online, multiplayer crap, alldrive, drifting in every freaking corners, no gripping anymore,autolog. None of this crapfest is NFS original formula. until Ea contract Ghost Games to return the original formula back in NFS it will always be Shitty game.

Plenty of them that does VO for video games and animated films like batman movies.

Huh, didn't know Steve Carrell did video games. That feels just so weird. Already knew Magneto was in Fable 3, but it took me a while to place him.

Burnout Paradise, enough said.

Revenge is better any day, shame the online is as dead as a dodo :(

pop_tarts3488d ago

Have to agree with Matt here

Rebel_Scum3488d ago (Edited 3488d ago )

Wow 4/5 games listed are Need for Speed games. Nice variety...not.

Personally I would add Daytona USA. When that was released on xbox live there was a fairly decent community playing this game.
