Hasta La Gadget!

Need for Speed, a gaming franchise that has certainly garnered its fair share of fans over the years, is all set to roll out with a new game. In fact, a job ad has revealed that the new title has already been in development at Ghost Games for the past few months. The particular job ad which was posted on October 29, 2013, stated that “Ghost Games is currently developing Need for Speed Rivals for both current and next generation gaming consoles and has already begun work on future iterations of the franchise.”

During the summer earlier this year, Ghost Games did make an announcement that they have been handed full control when it comes to the Need For Speed franchise, where whatever they do will hopefully be able to work out better than the previous developer, Criterion. Criterion did share that its team size has been chopped down to 16 heads thereabouts, where most of its previous workforce having splintered away in order to make up Ghost Games UK. Well, if the next Need for Speed title (Rivals, which a teaser trailer has already been released) fails, there is always the back up of a movie, right? Fast cars, beautiful girls, insane stunts, who can turn those down?

Fans of the Need For Speed game are probably aware that a movie is being made about the game. In fact it was back in September that the first trailer for the upcoming film was released, but in case that wasn’t enough, you’re in luck because it seems that the second trailer for the movie has since made its way onto the internet. According to the trailer’s description, the Need For Speed movie has been described as, “Framed for a crime he didn’t commit, muscle car mechanic and street racer Tobey (Aaron Paul) gets out of prison determined to settle the score with the man responsible for his false conviction.”

The movie stars Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad fame and will be seeing a release on the 14^th of March 2014, according to its IMDB page. It seems that racing movies are pretty popular these days as we had heard that Sony was planning a Gran Turismo movie as well, although we’re not sure what that storyline might be like. The Need For Speed franchise has a pretty big following and we’re sure plenty of fans will turn up to watch it, but will it be a good movie, or will it, like plenty of video game movies, turn out to be a flop? What do you guys think? Are you looking forward to catching it in the cinema next year?

Electronic Arts announced a new Need for Speed game earlier this year called Need for Speed Rivals which was expected to be released onto next-generation consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in addition to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. At the time of their announcement, EA announced the current-generation version of Need for Speed Rivals would be released on November 19, although no word on when the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 would be released. That all changes today as EA has announced you can look forward to a next-gen Need for Speed experience starting on November 22 in North America. (more…)

When it comes to gaming on the home console front, you will have to give credit to Nintendo for having introduced a paradigm shift in gameplay over the years, especially with the Nintendo Wii that introduced motion controllers that had the likes of Sony laughing at it before quietly trying to implement their own motion “waggle controls” in their SixAxis controller. Well, if you have always been a backseat driver, then you would most probably figure out that Need for Speed: Most Wanted U does offer backseat drivers an avenue not only to express their driving ability verbally, but to show the world just how it is done.

EA’s release of Need for Speed: Most Wanted U on Nintendo’s newest console, would definitely have backseat drivers happy, where co-op mode will allow players to use both the GamePad and the controller. In a nutshell, the one holding the controller (Remote or Pro) will do the navigation, while the other person with the miniature display is like a co-driver, offering “navigational assistance” via the real-time map, in addition to ditching cops, switching from night to day, and activating special boosts for the car when the situation calls for it. Truly, a test of friendship and communication with such a gameplay option.

There are few things worse than spending your hard-earned money on a video game and then finding out it’s crap. To avoid this problem I typically download the demo first and decide if it’s a good game before I spend my $50 or $60. If you’ve been on the fence about buying EA’s new Need for Speed Most Wanted video game, the demo is now available, despite the game being released two weeks ago.

EA announced that the demo is available right now on the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. The demo let’s players cruise around the open world of Fairhaven City and gives you a good taste of what to expect from the full game. Players will get to drive an Aston Martin V12 Vantage to begin with and can find three other vehicles hidden around the city.

Those other vehicles include the Porsche 911 Carrera S, Audi R8 GT Spyder, and the Ford Focus RS500. Players of the demo will have to hunt down those cars to be able to drive them and unlock unique races, challenges, and mods they feature. Those who play the demo will be also able to achieve up to 50,000 Speed Points that will carry over into the full game if you purchase it.
