Many years ago there was a video games crash in which any developers and publishers went bust almost every week. It was a slump for video gaming and the industry took years to recover.

Shiny sport cars and ladies lacking clothes go together likeÂ¿ errrr selling and sex, so it wasn't entirely surprisingly to see EA promoting the latest version of Need For Speed in conjunction with The Sun's Page 3 girls Becky and Amii.

EA confident of becoming Christmas number one

Wii - Need for Speed ProStreet - EA confident of becoming Christmas number one

Electronic Arts believes its forthcoming racing title Need for Speed ProStreet will win the race to become this year's Christmas number one video game.

"A Need for Speed game has been Christmas number one for four of the last five years, with FIFA only pipping it to the post last year in a debatable count back," said Steve Farrell, senior product manager at EA.

"We are confident the increased quality of the game this year Â¿ as well as our extensive marketing campaign, with support throughout the run-up to Christmas Â¿ will help to re-establish a Need For Speed game at number one."

NFS ProStreet in 'cash for upgrades' shame

Wii - Need for Speed ProStreet - NFS ProStreet in 'cash for upgrades' shame

EA's forthcoming mod-heavy racer Need For Speed ProStreet enables players to pimp their virtual rides using real cash, Gamer can reveal.

When purchasing upgrades, players will be given the choice to use either in-game cash or Microsoft Points (in the 360 version at least Â¿ we've not been able to check whether other versions will follow suit with their own currencies at this time) to buy the items in question. How much each pack will cost is currently unknown. It's unlikely to be very much, but this is still the continuation of a rather worrying trend to make games cost even more.

Smokin' new NFS ProStreet trailer

Wii News | Need for Speed ProStreet

EA has released a brand new trailer for the upcoming racer, Need For Speed: Pro Street. And this one's all about the smoke effects. There's not that long to go now until the launch of EA's new Need For Speed title; it's out around October. This time round the focus is on realism, but it's not really going after the likes of GT or Forza. "We're definitely not looking to make a simulation. I think 'simulation' is a bit of a dirty word," producer John Doyle recently told us. Check out the movie ... » Read More

NFS: ProStreet smoking trailer

Wii News | Need for Speed ProStreet

You know what's always been missing from Need For Speed? Smoke. Lots and lots of smoke. Fortunately, that's just what we're treated to in this fresh footage from NFS Pro Street, the semi-reinvention of the flashy racing series. We have to say we like what we see. Regular videogame smoke/steam/mist can be so, well, wispy - but this is top-grade billowing clouds of the stuff, like the spouting steam of a red-hot kettle trapped at boiling point or a smoldering tire wedged in a roasting ... » Read More

"Simulation" is a dirty word, says Need for Speed...

Wii News | Need for Speed ProStreet

Our early impression of Need for Speed: ProStreet is that its more of a simulator gunning for the Forzas and GTs out there, but that's not the case says producer, John Doyle. "We're definitely not looking to make a simulation. I think 'simulation' is a bit of a dirty word," said Doyle, who made it clear ProStreet is not EA's answer to Forza at all. "There's some baggage involved in [simulations] in that it's punishing or not fun." Doyle explains that it's not a simulation that EA is aiming ... » Read More

NFS Pro Street images pit in

Wii News | Need for Speed ProStreet

Our first question is: Where're the streets? But, wait, this is about professional street racers - not your baseball cap-wearing boy racers spinning their poor Novas around a deserted supermarket car park. Need For Speed is now a serious racer. Who saw that one coming? But it's a development we're sure to welcome. Not only does ProStreet look far better than any other NFS game, it's also promising handling and race gameplay, as it positions itself to take on the might of Gran Turismo. Just ... » Read More
