Need for Speed goes Most Wanted

Posted on Tuesday, 18 January 2005 by Speed, source: Spong

Spong has word that the next installment of EA's Need for Speed series will no longer be tagged "Underground". The game is supposed to be released at the end of this year, will be called Most Wanted and although there will still be features from the Underground games in it, Most Wanted will go back to its roots with police car chases.

Here's some information from the product sheet Spong managed to get their hands on :

The product sheet reads:

Outwit cops
Visual customisation to manage your ‘heat meter’
Epic Hollywood-style police pursuits with up to 15 cop cars on screen
Skill-based cop evasion and upgradable evasion technology
Interactive environments conducive to eluding cops

There is also a rap-sheet system, in which a player’s notoriety is upped by performing more dangerous manoeuvres in the view of following police.

Eight game modes are promised:

Multiple point races
Toll booth races
Speed trap photos
Outrun
Outrun best route
Circuit
Sprint
Knockout – Cost to state, pursuit milestones and headlines
Milestones

The game is supposed to have online play much in the style of Underground 2, and racing will be done between sunrise and sunset (no night time racing) with real weather effects and evolving environment.

Expect the game to be released on Xbox 2, Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube, PC, PSP and “Game Boy Advance or Nintendo DS.”

One last thing: the production sheet stated that the game will be released simultaneously with "XBox2" which would mean we'll get to see the arrival of Microsoft's new console in the second half of this year.
