Just got this from ND4SPDWorld:

Combining the thrill of illicit street racing and tuner customization with the intensity of strategic police pursuits that rivals any Hollywood-style chase scene, Need for Speed Most Wanted challenges players to become the most notorious and elusive street racer.

"Out-race your opponents, evade cops and exploit the open world in Need for Speed Most Wanted; street racing doesn't get any better than this," said Larry LaPierre, senior producer, EA Canada. "Players instantly will feel the thrill of the ride as they hit the streets in an open world environment where drivers can tune their cars to compete against any class of vehicles or use their wits to out-fox the law to satisfy their need for speed."

Need for Speed Most Wanted delivers a unique, fast-paced and gripping ride in the racing genre as players build up their Rap Sheet and street cred to move their way up the Black List to become the most wanted racer on the streets. Players will go head-to-head with the top drivers on the scene as well as strategically evade more than half dozen cops at any one time. Add in a dynamic open world, new gameplay and customization as well as tuners, supercars, muscles and sports cars and Need for Speed Most Wanted will be on every gamer's "must-have" list.

Developed in Vancouver, B.C. by EA Canada, Need for Speed Most Wanted will be available for a next generation console as well as the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, Xbox videogame system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, PSP handheld entertainment system and PC.


This story has appeared on both Worthplaying and Voodoo Extreme, although the latter describes the info as "leaked". The story's illustrated with what looks like concept art.

Not a lot of concrete information, yet, hopefully we'll hear more as the E3 gets closer.

read the first sentence, and my answer is:

F! it.

Promoting street racing - yeah, let's see how many of you besides me have lost a friend because they have made a stupid choice. Wonder why I hate it, and these types so much?

EA is sending the wrong message...really.
BMWsport22 years ago
as far as the concept art - HELLA TIGHT! an e46 M3 GTR. Great work on the modelling from what I see here - Never seen one in red though.

I thought EA was bringing back HS - with UG's physics. Or even the physics from NFS: PU - which I totally dig :)
N
NfsWiLL22 years ago
That be Sweet wished they would! and Graphics .
RemkoAdmin22 years ago
I could appreciate a game with NFS UG2's physics and sound - especially the engine sounds in UG2 were really good, just listen to the Pontiac GTO's V8 rumble and you're sold. =)

I too was ready to believe MW would be a return to Classic NFS, but from this press announcement I get the idea that EA hasn't said goodbye to UG's style just yet.
RemkoAdmin22 years ago
To be honest this article tells us very little on what the game will and will not have, and a lot can be changed between now and November. I hope for more open-road and less city tracks... and a Pursuit mode that, unlike, HP2's, was actually fun.

There's a poll on: Link where you can vote which MW feature you're most excited about... use it wisely. :)

(I ticked the box: "Cop Evasion"...)
shaken22 years ago
Im glad to see "cop evasion" is the choice that has the most votes, I voted for it too

NfsWiLL22 years ago

NfsWiLL22 years ago

NfsWiLL22 years ago
