Need for Speed: Now being developed by Criterion

[Havok83]

Didnt see a thread for this. Not liking this at all. EA is taking Criterion, which makes Burnout, and having them work on the next NFS game. Im sure they will turn out a great product, but Id rather them do another Burnout game then stuck with that series. I think its best to have 2 different developers on the 2 different racing franchises to keep them distinct and preserve their own unique personality and feel

As for the other announcement, Criterion Games, the famed developer behind the Burnout series, will indeed be making the next Need for Speed title.

"We've taken the Burnout team and combined it with our Need For Speed franchise," added Pleasants. "So we now have that in our favor because that Burnout team is probably one of the more online-centric and notably high-quality game developers that we have out at Criterion."
