EA Reveals Need for Speed: The Run

29.04.2011
With the Burnout series on apparent hiatus, it seems other developers are trying to fill the void with their own takes on heart-pounding "action racing" -- just look at Split/Second or the upcoming Ridge Racer Unbounded. But EA themselves adds a new contender with the , which EA says will take gamers "on the race of their lives." Just what does that mean? Apparently, the game is about escaping trouble, as you'll be buzzing through roads in and out of cities as you're chased by the cops, or maybe some other entity. The also suggests some other precarious situations, like being stuck upside down on a train track, as you can see at the end of the clip.

The Run will also incorporate the Autolog feature, made famous in last year's Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. We expect Autolog's core features in friend-tracking and matchmaking to stay in The Run, but EA's announcement wasn't clear on any changes or improvements that might make it into the new game.

Like other NFS games, The Run will be on pretty much every game system including 3DS. EA has it pegged for a November 15 release.
