First Impressions Need for Speed Fails to Hit First Gear on PS4

Sick

When you're forced to recycle old subtitles, you know that it's time that your brand got a reboot. EA Games' long running Need for Speed series has been securing podium finishes for almost as long as we can remember, but despite there being a movie in the interim, the publisher resisted the temptation to churn out a 2014 sequel to PlayStation 4...

Round Up Need for Speed PS4 Reviews Apply the Hand Brake

Not so good, bruh

It doesn't really feel like there's a new Need for Speed coming out. While racing games have certainly declined in popularity, this franchise used to cause fervour among fans – but Ghost Games' latest has barely hit second gear yet. The reviews aren't going to help much, as while the response has been solid, it's not exactly...

News Drive Sideways with New Need for Speed PS4 Trailer

Speed freak

We've already established that Need for Speed's cringe-worthy live action cut-scenes look amazing, but what about the actual game itself? EA Games has released a new trailer showcasing the forthcoming PlayStation 4 racer, and much like a pre-release Rockstar video, it focuses on all of the activities that you'll be getting up to behind...

News PS4's Need for Speed Reboot Will Be Online Only

But why?

We reckon that the new Need for Speed looks pretty darn rad – especially with those so-bad-they're-good full-motion video cut-scenes. However, there is one downside: the game will be playable online only. Speaking with Official Xbox Magazine – yes, we know – executive producer Marcus Nilsson attempted to explain why that's the case,...

Gamescom 2015 Need for Speed's Cut-Scenes Will Make You Cringe

But that's the point

Need for Speed may be about to overtake Until Dawn in the dumb department – and that's a sentence that we never thought we'd type. A new trailer for the forthcoming PlayStation 4 reboot shows off the title's FMV cut-scenes, which are every bit as embarrassingly cheesy as you could imagine. No sign of Razor Callahan yet,...

Rumour Need for Speed Rushes to PS4 from 3rd November

Race to retail

Need for Speed, the PlayStation 4 reboot of EA Games' legendary racing franchise, will tack on its body kit and take to the track from 3rd November – well, if a leaked Xbox Games Store listing is to be believed.

News The New Need for Speed Is Called Need for Speed

Ghost Games' reboot takes to the streets

Need for Speed is getting a complete reboot to the point where it will be ditching recycled subtitles. Indeed, the new game – due out on the PlayStation 4 later this year – will be named Need for Speed. No, there's nothing after that – it's literally just called Need for Speed.
