Nov 17, 2007

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."

Need for Speed ProStreet (Review)

Nov 13, 2007

Nov 12, 2007 Ryan Cooper. Dont worry if youve already forgotten the name since youll be hearing it a few times in Need for Speed ProStreet. Its the moniker of your driver in Career mode. Hes not the most charismatic character. In fact, hes practically mute - and you only ever see him with his helmet on - but that doesnt stop the commentators banging on about him. “Its Ryan Cooper about to light this race up,” praises one MC. “If its too hot in the kitchen get out of Ryan ...

NFS ProStreet in 'cash for upgrades' shame (News)

Oct 27, 2007

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.

Need for Speed: ProStreet - hands-on (Preview)

Oct 23, 2007

Oct 22, 2007 Mirroring Formula Ones Ferrari-McLaren alledge-a-thon, this year EA Black Box have clearly helped themselves to an eyeful of the blueprints belonging to traditionally serious racers such as Forza. For starters, were off the streets and into the pit lanes of numerous real-world race tracks. According to the games producer, this reflects where the street racing culture is heading. Apparently bored with having to endure fifteen-minute police chases every time they want an innocent ...

Smokin' new NFS ProStreet trailer (News)

Aug 2, 2007

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 ...

NFS: ProStreet smoking trailer (News)

Jul 30, 2007

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 ...

"Simulation" is a dirty word, says Need for Speed producer (News)

Jul 25, 2007

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 ...

NFS Pro Street images pit in (News)

Jun 22, 2007

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 ...
