E3 2011: Need for Speed: The Run Looks Intense

Amidst tons (and I mean tons) of CG footage at E3 2011, it was refreshing to see EA come up with actual gameplay for their upcoming Need for Speed game titled Need for Speed: The Run. For reasons not known yet, you’ll be driving from San Francisco to New York on the run from cops, the mob and other aggressive A.I. The game’s being developed by DICE’s Frostbite Engine 2, the very same engine fuelling Battlefield 3 which means environmental destruction will be top notch.

And for the first time in the series, the protagonist of the game actually got out of his car and ran for his life. Even though it was using QTEs (Quick Time events). But enough talk, check out the gameplay vid embedded below.

Nash, as he prefers being called, woke up to the wonders of gaming rather late but don't bring that up around him. It's a touchy subject. A self confessed Battlefield veteran, Nash spent a good part of 2010 on the Steam Battlefield - with Bad Company (see what we did there?). He has a zero tolerance policy towards RTS games but is currently showing an interest by picking up and moving people - who he refers to as units - in the office. Thank God he's not that enthusiastic about Angry Birds or we'd be seeing women flying all over the place. Bali... Bali, put the receptionist down now. see more
