OXM: Need for Speed: Most Wanted - Criterion talks next gen, Burnout and always-online gaming

It's Burnout Paradise with Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit's Autolog system. That's the simplest way to explain why you should care about Criterion's reboot of Need for Speed: Most Wanted, down for release on 2nd November.

Having sampled the multiplayer - read our latest issue, out 4th September, for more - I sat down with executive producer Matt Webster and creative director Craig Sullivan for a chat about the science of rebooting, next gen transitions and the franchise's future.

criterion games FK NEED FOR SPEED UP worse than BLACKBOX studio in my own opinion. at lease BBS need for speed was no damn clone or wanna-be burnout they also had no damn auto-log crap.what killed NFS for me criterion base it on BURNOUT engine and lost NFS identity as a seperate racing game from all others.last need for speed i've bought was HOTPURSUIT 2 and UNDERGROUND

wake me up when a NEW developer bring need for speed back to its glory days.

The original Need for Speeds were more like Burnout minus the awesome crashes. They were all about drifting around amazing bends at silly speeds in race and exotic cars.

Criterion was hired as EA ran the NFS franchise to the ground by milking tge crap out of it. Criterion on the other hand were known (and still are) for their ability to make bad ass arcade racers with lush graphics, steady framerates and awesome racing and drifting at breakneck speeds, in Amazing locations in race and exotic cars!

Why Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) Still Holds Up To Modern Racing Games

Need for Speed: Most Wanted is still iconic mainly due to its corny storyline, its superb gameplay, and the unforgettable BMW M3 GTR.
