Need for Speed: Undercover Coming
EA's seminal racing franchise gets yet another new name, and likely a change in focus.

June 18, 2008 - To no one's surprise, EA is set to release the next installment in the Need for Speed franchise later this year in the form of Need for Speed: Undercover. In an interview with gamesindustry.biz, Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello said that the title is in development from one of EA Vancouver's two NFS teams. He also hinted that its inspiration comes from movies like The Transporter, though we'll have to wait and see what he means by that.

The single previous Need for Speed team was split into two last year to allow each of the two teams more time to create yearly updates for the franchise. Rather than giving one team only 12 months to create the next installment, each team would now have a full two years, with the teams trading release years, obviously. Being that the team was only split last year, the Undercover team will only have a little over 16 months to create the title, but the extra breathing room must certainly welcome in any case.

In the interview, Riccitiello also discussed his disappointment with last year's Need for Speed ProStreet, and said that the reason for splitting the team into to two was to help insure that future titles would actually be a worthy experience.

No consoles were specified for Undercover, but given the franchise's history, we'd expect to see it hit every major system.

Need for Speed: Destination Malaysia

Need for SPEED : SKIPPPP

hope its like need for speed most wanted

NFS prostreet sucks big time

Hope they can make NFS Hot Pursuit 3...miss NFS Hot Pursuit 2..exotic cars, exotic tracks...

I was hoping much that this would be as great as NFS Most Wanted, damn hard but damn fun also.

But looks like they're gonna make it look something of the transporter movie? Ok, not that convinced now.

U cant escape Need For Speed! Its like trying to escape all those sports games. how sucky the sport games are, sure every year got wan. Hahahaha

Need for Rempit la

hahahaha... nfs should change title ler.. need for semput...

I hope its good! The only ones I REALLY liked was Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 on the PS2 (until this day, I still play it) and Need For Speed: Most Wanted... Need For Speed: Underground was alrite too...

Transporter? Maybe stunt driving while being chased by the cops?! Like going in little alleys and dodging cop cars, etc... Nah... Sounds nice, but i doubt that an NFS game would be like that...

mine like underground one..
very the haram one..
hahaha

ini title bagus. we pride the rempit and make a world clan of rempits.

And lastly, we shake our heads terribly considering they exist.

Need For Speed : Snails with Nitro

hope this game support logitech g25

NFS is my favourite since i was a kid.I love the game but prostreet was a flop.i think they will repent all their mistakes by making a good undercover.anyway its too early to judge.we got to wait to check out the reviews.The cars look good.I hope the gameplay is good as well and the storyline should be good too.

Will probably rent this - the online features look just meh. Unless I sell Burnout: Paradise and this game ends up getting 9.0 at Gamespot, I'll rent.

if follow international schedule , this game should be release not more than 10 days from now

The trailer with Maggie Q looks good. Gonna get it. Hopefully the prices goes under RM200

maggie q always look hot . i also gonna get it not matter what is the price is . i just want faster get it

I also get because of Maggie Q only ah I was a big fan of NFS Underground 2 because of Brooke Burke :$

when is the earliest can get tis title? where? thx

earliest would be at 18 Nov...

Can you update with screenshots and more details

if need for speed has realism such as burnout paradise + Grid. this game will be very good

this time.. is movie like cutscenes and racing as gameplay..

I think it will be relasing 2moro..

hope / pray this game will release on tomorrow but i think if as usual then will delay

i believe EDGE gave this game a 3.
tak habis habis negative reviews

SHIT! I need a decent racing game since I'm done with Burnout.

I didn't say NFS Undercover's decent lah but I really enjoyed Underground 1/2 and Carbon wasn't half that bad so I had high hopes for this.

WTF?

A 3?

A 3 is kinda pathethic. I doubt it will be THAT bad.

of all the hype then now getting a 3? is that a joke or wat

3 is too far from my expectation...LOL..what a pity..

When is this game out anyway? It does look veyr similar to Most Wanted, which is one of my favourite of the NFS series.

guys,dont forget-it's EDGE.

you can probably change their 3 to a 5.

i mean c'mon..resistance 2 a 6?
