Need For Speed: The Run Story Trailer

Need For Speed: The Run Story Trailer

Don't slow down

Written by N0T PENNYS B0AT on 22 September 11 at 16:13 | Credit to Hustlinonradio

EA's long-running racing series, Need For Speed, continues this fall with its 18th installment, and as you may have heard by now, it's going in a slightly different direction. The Run will be just the second game in the series rated T by the ESRB (PEGI: 12; ACB: PG). Also, the game will include some much-discussed on-foot sequences that use quicktime events. Still, EA Blackbox, developer of nine different Need For Speed games, promises the game is still focused on racing.

The game's title comes from the epic cross-country race that the protagonist, Jack, is trying to win as he makes his way across the US - from San Francisco to New York City. This trailer focuses on that story and details just how high the stakes are for Jack and the other participants.



Need For Speed: The Run races into stores on November 15th in the US, November 17th in Australia, and November 18th in Europe.

I'm not sure which is worse, getting shot at by a helicopter or driving Nebraska in winter. This may be my first NFS.

That looks pretty cool. But sorry, you should have chosen a different date. AC Revelations, Halo CE Anniversary and Saints Row 3 are coming out on the exact same day.

N0T PENNYS B0AT - It isn't cool to sound like a grumpy old man regarding the Xbox One. Take time to form a real opinion.

Sometimes we give credit to a TA user after they suggest news, even if we were already going to write it, but Hustlinonradio is one of the more frequent news-suggesters and he or she is a big help.

This game is looking great and looks like it will keep nice things about need for speed while being a unique addition to the series. Its nice to also see a racing game that has more of a scenic street racing look to it, without being completely closed course/street racing either. Can't wait, I think I will probably preorder this too!

18 NFS's so far... wow!

I remember playing the very first one on the 3DO system. Wow, that game blew my mind at the time...

...and that's the ONLY one I have ever played. After I started noticing the trend of 2 a year... I "steered" clear of the series. This one though might just be different enough to get me to bite.

Edit: I had to go back after remembering... check this out from 1994, first released on 3DO sure enough! Loving the box art ... trust me, back in 1994 ... this was the first racing game of its kind. The graphics were mind-blowing cutting edge. Ah, the simpler times.....
