E3 2011: Need for Speed The Run Gameplay Video

E3 2011: Need for Speed The Run Gameplay Video

Now you can get out of the car

Written by punkyliar on 06 June 11 at 22:44

Need for Speed The Run was announced at the end of April, with the teaser trailer indicating that the game would move away from the typical racing gameplay, and move towards a story-driven campaign. The one thing that this new gameplay demo has confirmed is that, for the first time ever for the franchise, players will be getting out of the car and running for their lives.



Unfortunately, some of the key moments when on foot involve every players' favourite type of gameplay - Quicktime events.

Need for Speed: The Run is due to be released on November 15th in North America, and November 18th in Europe. A release date is yet to be confirmed for other regions.

Phorty Ounce - BioShock Infinite was a good game. Let's hope DLC will explain the story more.

I thought the concept was kinda tacked-on at first and was gonna be some "afterthought" kinda thing put on NFS.

But the gameplay actually looks solid.

What tom foolery is this?!
Kidding, it actually looks solid. But it's not really "need for speed" if you are spending half of your time on foot.

I haven't watched the video yet, but I hope that getting out of the car means that the steering wheel can't be used. I remember playing Wheelman way back and it was fun until he left the car and of course I couldn't move him on foot.
Smurfquake - Well, looks like I'm gonna get kicked off the website. Nice getting to know you all. Find me on Xbox if you'd like.

Are Need For Speed going for that old Driver element of fun?
Not sure if the getting out of the vehicle will translate well for this series.

Other than that, it looks respectable enough to warrant some playing time.

Is it just me, or does the title create a mental image of some guy who just finished a Grande Meal at Taco Bell?

Quick time events are just pointless. Shuts up the people who say "They didn't change enough" though.
You seem a little furious...

Looks pretty good, at least the CQB makes the game a little different. The drifting looks pretty fun too, most likely day 1 purchase for me.
