Outlook on the next Need for Speed

Noting that sales of last year's Need for Speed ProStreet didn't live up to EA's hopes for the game, Gibeau said he thinks it was because the series drifted too far from what consumers expected. ProStreet had dropped the tuner culture and police evasion aspects of previous installments in favor of perfectly legit closed track racing. For the next Need for Speed, Gibeau promised that the series would be getting back to its roots with a number of features, including open-world racing and a new highway battle mode.

Так как я и думал. Сделали первый раз за 5 лет ближе к симу - дети перестали покупать, они теперь решили срочно вернутся назад к аркаде.
