New Need For Speed: The Run Screens and Footage

New Need For Speed: The Run Screens and Footage

Run for the hills

Written by Lexual on 28 July 11 at 14:01 , updated on 28 July 11 at 14:01

Back in April, Electronic Arts announced the new title in the Need for Speed franchise, Need for Speed: The Run.

The latest set of screens, and the new trailer, show off the beauty of the hills of Nevada as the protagonist, Jack, continues his high-stakes race from San Francisco to New York.

EA have set the scene with the following:
As The Run streaks through the Desert Hills of Nevada, Jack finds himself at the heart of the pack. Battling with the unforgiving desert heat and technically demanding terrain, Jack must do everything he can to fight his way to the front. That means precision driving at its best as Jack uses all his skills to slip through the pack on his way to Vegas. But with so much at stake, no one is going to give him an inch.

Need for Speed: The Run is due to be released in North America on November 15th and November 18th for Europe.

This seems more reminiscent of the true classics, Need for Speed 2 and Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit.

This is one of the very few must buys before the end of the year for me. Glad to see an attempt to make a story in a racing game.

This looks a lot like Hot Pursuit, I will probably only rent this one for a couple of days.

Please EA, it's time to make Need For Speed: Underground 3, that's the only NFS game I really want on Xbox360.

It looks like a lot of fun, but here's my concern:

From the map at the beginning of the video (0:15), it looks like there may only be 12 tracks as part of the cross-country race... I'm not big into racing games, but that seems a bit light to me...

DisguisedMike said:This looks a lot like Hot Pursuit, I will probably only rent this one for a couple of days.Agreed. That track with it's shortcuts could have been lifted straight off Hot Pursuit to be honest, looks like the same game to me. If it has the same vague steering and muddy handling as Hot Pursuit I'll probably give this one a miss.

That would be the Frostbite 2 engine making everything look so shiny. NFSHP started to annoy me but I hope this is better.
