What I want is another Hot Pursuit! That original game was the best NFS yet… HPII and HS were good too.

Need for Speed: Shift actually looks really good.

It sounds like a mix of Forza and PGR and is being developed by the folks that made GT Legends.

In fact it sounds like a top notch racer that is being given the NFS branding for marketing purposes.

Exactly. So quite why they insist on doing a new NFS every year, I have no idea. And now they’re doing three.

Blerk, the forthcoming premium Burnout DLC packs might be more lucrative deal than a full new Burnout product…

Well… no. The last Burnout was out this time last year. No new Burnout on the horizon as yet.

Are’nt Burnouts yearly anyway? Surely pumping them out would just lead to what happened to NFS in the first place.

For the same reason that Babylon 5 would never be as popular as Star Trek.

But with EA Black Box dead, it would be nothing short of criminal lunacy if Criterion didn’t become involved in NFS.

Why don’t they just can it completely and put the effort into Burnout instead?
