Electronic Arts' Need for Speed racing franchise has been on a downward spiral in the past few years, and even EA admits it. They're now taking steps to recapture the franchise's glory days, and among their gambits is tapping Burnout devs Criterion Games for a new Need for Speed title set for release in 2010.
EA Games label president Frank Gibeau recently revealed that the Criterion-developed Need for Speed will be released next year. Gibeau noted that the game has been under development now for some time, which should hopefully remedy the rash of mediocre entries -- the blame for which Gibeau places squarely on EA for failing to put adequate resources behind the franchise.

Think there's any chance we'll see a NFS: Something (Hot pursuit or other) along side shift to propel the franchise forward?

The first games were hardcore games. After you(EA) touched the brand, everything messed up. All of the EA ones were crap. As what did you lot do? You milked the money cow while it was still running.

Now, my most regarded version of NFS has to be Porsche Unleashed. I'd dare say it's my top racing game of all time.

NFS Shift just reminded me that the game is better as an arcade racer so the king of the genre creating the next NFS could be a good move.

Look at ALL of the Burnout games. What do you get? Extreme high-quality games. I think they know the difference between the series and can develop something other than a Burnout game for once.
Look at Hideo Kojima. He did MGS for a while, then made a badass mech game (Zone of the Enders.) There are a lotta devs out there with diversity.
