The Need for Speed franchise will be getting another shot in
the arm in early November, when Need for Speed: Most Wanted gets a bit of a
reboot. And it’s Criterion behind the development wheel…
This is the second Need for Speed ‘reboot’ from the
developers that also made the Burnout series; they were behind the great remake
of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, too.
"Criterion is shaking up the franchise with Need for
Speed Most Wanted," said Matt Webster, Executive Producer at Criterion
Games (according to the press release). "This is Most Wanted for a new
generation of players. We've brought everything we know about racing, chasing
and exploration and smashed them together in a highly connected open world
automotive experience. Whether driving solo or racing with friends in our
amazing new multiplayer experience, Autolog fires up competition out of
everything as players compete to be most wanted amongst their friends."
Although the latest title in the series (NFS: The Run) left
more than a few with a bit of a sour taste in the mouth, the new Most Wanted
will hopefully live up to Criterion’s previous work for this long running
franchise.
