Gearburn Writer, Wiehahn Diederichs, takes a look at 'Need for Speed Rivals' on PS3. Need for Speed Rivals is the latest title to be spawned from the Need for Speed family and the first one born from the hands of new Swedish developers, Ghost Games. How does it fare?
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
From GI.biz: "EA will return the Need for Speed franchise to UK games studio Criterion.
Current franchise leader Ghost Games in Gothenburg is set to become EA Gothenburg once again (pending Swedish Union approval). The studio will refocus itself as an engineering hub supporting development across EA's portfolio. EA told GamesIndustry.biz that: "The engineering expertise in our Gothenburg team, some of whom are architects of the Frostbite engine, is vital to a number of our ongoing projects, and they would remain in that location."
We want another Burnout!! Remaster Takedown and/or Revenge please! Give us VR versions.
Is there an actual Criterion to go back to, or is it just a front name for a group of unaffiliated devs?

Yes. This is a wise move on EA's part. There was barely an ounce of fun in Ghost Games' NFS games (terrible handling, insane rubberbanding in NFS 2015, etc). Hot Pursuit was incredible and Most Wanted 2012 probably shouldn't have been called MW but it was a ton of fun. Hopefully, we'll get a Burnout game as well.
John Wikberg, game's producer, and Yoni Rabinowitz, its lead designer, ralked with Sector at Gamescom about Need for Speed Heat.
I haven't played a Need for Speed game for ages, but I'm really excited about this one.
