@1 There’s no more details on it. It’s a fleeting mention at the top of the press release that it’s a first look at the game. It’s actually not listed in the actual line-up.
The official NFS FB page has just posted the first screen of it. I’ll get it up in a second.
EDIT: I just seen what you and Sam meant. I’ve fixed it.

E3 hasn’t even started yet and we’ve already had loads of ‘pre-E3 game announcements’. Hopefully Sony and Microsoft have some surprises which they haven’t yet revealed, otherwise this is going to be a standard affair E3.

Can’t they just make another burnout game? Paradise was much better then all the need for speeds put together… Apart from the showtime thing, bring back crash mode and you’ve got a sale e.a.

Excellent. With awesome titles like NFS HP, Burnout can rest in piece like the shitty series it is.

@12 Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is an absolutely stellar game, by a company that truly knows its art, but its still a pity to see the Burnout franchise being sidelined.

Tbh, I would rather them sideline Burnout for a bit. Bring it back in a few years. Keeps it fresh. Imo, too many games have turned into yearly or near yearly releases. Nice to have them spaced out a bit.

It’s just kind of stupid to call it Need for Speed Most Wanted though, why not Most Wanted 2? It’s like all these games like SSX, Medal of Honor, Tomb Raider. We’ve already had those names,what is it with that?
