Interview – Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit’s Matt Webster
We got a chance this week to see Criterion’s Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit in London this week, and were lucky enough to grab some face-time with senior producer, Matt Webster.
Matt talked about his “healthy paranoia” as regards the competition, why story isn’t “necessary” to the game, what Criterion’s working on next and more.
Get the full thing after the break, and read our play impressions from the latest build here.
There’s also some new screens below. A new trailer is incoming as well, so keep them peeled.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit – Hands-on in London
It’s hardly surprising EA gave Criterion a crack at the Need for Speed series; Burnout Paradise’s considerable quality is testament to the fact that the UK studio knows how to make an open-world racing game.
The stakes with this series reboot, though, are high. With Need for Speed, by EA’s own admission, having languished in recent years, that Criterion should make the property its own was essential. Has the studio succeeded? We played the game in London this week to find out.

Un-developed Burnout Paradise DLC included moon-driving
Criterion’s posted details of Burnout Paradise DLC that never made the cut, including driving on the moon, helicopters, time travel and planes.
The fact this is being posted probably means the developer’s “year of Burnout” was well-named: and over.
Need for Speed next. Hit the link for the full thing.

Suda adds Alex Ward to favourite designer list
Grasshopper boss Goichi Suda has a new favourite games designer. It’s Criterion games boss Alex Ward.
“I have four favorite game designers,” Suda told 1UP. “Erik [Chahi, Out of This World creator] is one of them. I’m not sure if he’s the number one, but he’s one of them.
“There used to be three, but the fourth person is [Criterion Games'] Alex Ward, who I added after I met him recently.”
Suda’s went on to say that he would most likely end up “enjoying” working with Chahi or Ward, should the opportunity arise.
