DGP: "It’s hard not to think that the tired NFS franchise is being pushed beyond its rev limiter – I still haven’t finished Hot Pursuit or Shift 2 and both titles are still being peppered with lashings of DLC, so the announcement of The Run feels a tad too early."
The Criterion studio is focused on Battlefield and there are no short-term plans for a new title.
Fans: Need for Speed Underground 1 + 2 Remake
EA: Why no one buy our live service games???
Oh ea... Your ability to destroy everything you touch will never cease to amaze me. I guess Madden is still going but only because the people that play it are not very intelligent. That, or they're masochists that love getting screwed.
What Ea need to do remake PS1 Highstakes or PS2 Hotpursuit 2 or Underground 1 with Cop's

Truth. Loved Midnight Club.
I wouldn't be mad at another proper Underground or Most Wanted (PS2/X360) entry though.

They're trying to cater to all the racing game styles it seems.
NFS Shift was more sim, Hot Pursuit was more arcade burnout, This one from what I assume by the trailer is trying to go for a more story approach or a more chaotic environment approach that both MS:A and Split/Second did.
Hopefully EA is just using the name Need for Speed as marketing ploy to help with the intial sales and don't face the burden of the "New IP", I mean Shift 2 dropped the NFS title so I think that's the most likely scenario with this.
think THE RUN will cater to all nfs gamers. and bring back its glory days
every year a new need for speed come on, poeple r not even bying it no more
