Eurogamer Czech has got the first details plus two artworks from EA/Criterion's upcoming next racing title, Need for Speed: Out of the Law.

[ape007]

this could be the nfs we've all been waiting for

although I wish it was hot pursuit

[cLiCK_sLiCK9]

Does anyone know what engine they will be using? Its Criterion we are talking about. Im pretty sure they might use their Burnout engine instead. I dont see why.

[WildArmed]

lol the NFS that we all had been waiting for was released a long time ago.
It's been down hill ever since imo
But I did love Burnout paradise VERY VERY VERY much.. (best racing game i've played)
So i'll put my faith in good hands, go get em Criterion

[Blaze929]

motorcycles!? Oh snap.

[morkendo]

yeah, this look promising. just hope its not like mostwanted..sucks

THIS LOOK LIKE A POSSIBLE HOTPURSUIT 3

[darkmurder]

So it was Criterion!

[joydestroy]

yeah the NFS franchise was basically handed to them last year i remember reading. this is what i've been waiting for.

[AznSniper]

Those pics look kind of fake, but hopefully it's true. Criterion is win. It sounds like it could be a worthy sequel to Need for Speed Underground 2 which it needed police chases.

[tdrules]

wow this is great to hear, as long as the dlc roadmaps is Criterion's and not EA (Dragon Age anyone?)

[Hidden Star]

sounds promising.

[delicia]

Lets see if turns out good like before, hopefully this is a comeback for the series

[STK026]

from what I read, Shift was a great game, shouldn't that be the comeback? Or am I missing something here?

[cLiCK_sLiCK9]

NFS Shift wasn't open world. Other than that, I thought it was a decent game..

[delicia]

Yeah, Shift was really good, but it was very different than the others NFS ya know? I mean, good but similar to the other games like Underground and MW

[TheIneffableBob]

Well, the original Need for Speeds weren't open world. Need for Speed: Shift is the closest thing to the original games in a long time as it features no open world and exotic cars.

[delicia]

Hmm, I see your point... well, since Shift worked, I think this game can work too, hopefully they don't make some mistakes fans didn't like from past games

[NCAzrael]

I wasn't a big fan of shift. It tried really hard to be Gran Turismo, and while I'm all for some GT style racing, it's not what I have come to expect from NFS.

I realize that NFS started out as a "closed course" style racer with arcade and realistic elements combined, but I've grown to love the open world illegal street racing. Underground 2 is probably my favorite in the series, with Most Wanted coming in at a very close second. It's like The Fast and The Furious without the (arguably) crappy acting. Carbon was a let down thanks to the teammate thing, and I didn't even try Undercover after reading every single review that talked about how poorly they messed that up. I had no desire to play Pro Street when I found out they were making it a legit street racer, though I did end up buying Shift on a whim after reading some nice reviews that I now think are kind of misleading. Oh well, that's what I get for not taking advantage of my Gamefly account.

Honestly, I am excited to have the series go back to an open world setting. And having Criterion just makes it that much better. Burnout Paradise was awesome, and I can't wait to see what they do with the series.

[Zeal0t]

The BMW on the pic looks like the one from Most Wanted, maybe a MW sequel?

[R_A_LEE20]

No it doesn't look like it.

It IS the one from Most Wanted. As soon as i saw that pic i knew instantly that that was the same BMW from Most Wanted.

To me Most Wanted is best NFS game ever, it was awesome and if it is a sequel to MW that would be a first day buy for me.

[DARKrage34]

...but if it's like Most Wanted, it'll be a good game.

NFS needs to make a comeback... I know it's arcady but they made a push for simulation with Shift... Gran Turismo will be occupying most of people's time in 2010, so we'll have to see how this game shapes up. It has to be a really great racer to lure me away from GT5. (I am not comparing the games at all).

[sikbeta]

NFS Most Wanted 2?

·Need For Speed Most Wanted 2: BMW M3 Guy Revenge·

lol

[HackMaxx]

NFS: Carbon was the alleged sequel to Most Wanted :)

[sikbeta]

You're right

·Need For Speed Most Carbon Wanted 3: BMW M3 Guy Revenge·

[Dawn_Of_Ashes]

Nfs + Burnout = win

[ShinFuYux]

Yet, another Need for Speed game i'll skip.

Shift is my favorite NFS, I play it to death. Seeing this makes me loose all hopes for the NFS franchise.....again.

[Endless_X]

Sounds fake to me.

- The source is a russian fansite.

- The car in the first picture is the same as in most wanted.

- And Read at the bottom right hand corner in both pictures, it says:

"Street racing is not a crime / Well it is but F** it"

BURNOUT: NEED FOR SPEED

They should had called it that....

btw speaking of Burnout, those this mean BURNOUT is done for

the generation? or will Criterion make another one?

since I hear BLACK 2 is coming after this NFS desperate move by EA.

[PrinceJohnny]

Looks very fake.. But can be true, ya never know.

[Narutodemonx]

hope fully its a mix of most wanted shift and underground. if it is its a first day buy

[DelbertGrady]

I sense EA are doing an "Activision" with NFS. Next game after this will probably be developed by Slightly Mad again and be more simulator oriented. A very smart decision imo.

If it's true. I think this is fake.

[morkendo]

dang, if this going to be another most wanted wanna-be I'll skip it.
have not played any NFS game since hotpursuit 2 & underground. why all these fking open world races???... they need to go back to close circuit style racing.

[morkendo]

now hotpursuit/underground/shift modes would be awesome!!!!

[lothronik]

Criterion's just confirmed that this info is a fake - http://twitter.com/Criterio...

'NFS stories on the net today - 100% FAKE!'

[MaximusPrime]

According to their twitter (posted an hour ago):

"NFS stories on the net today - 100% FAKE!"

Anyone tell me what's not true? this game?

[aaron5829]

no thanks.

[Tito08]

Since they ever started working with that late company called Acclaim, n none of their games dissapointed me, I love Burnout and Black!!!!
