EA reveals Need for Speed Undercover release date, cover babe - Image 1 


In a recent press announcement by Electronic Arts, it was revealed that the new installment of the Need for Speed series, Undercover, will arrive on Windows PCs, PlayStation 3s, PlayStation 2s, Xbox 360s, Wiis, DSes, PSPs by November 18 in North America (November 21 in Europe).

And the new action racing game will return the series to its popular racing roots, including segments of police cruiser races and highway battles.

Interestingly, EA has also decided to shift gears for an extra mile and include a new cover babe for Need for Speed Undercover: the Asian-American actress and Hong Kong cinema superstar Maggie Q.

Known for her roles in Naked Weapon, Mission Impossible III, Live Free or Die Hard, and cameos in Around the World in 80 Days and Rush Hour 2, Margaret Denise Quigley will not only grace the action racing game's cover, but also star as Federal Agent Chase Linh in a plot that EA CEO John Riccitiello claims to be inspired by action films such as The Transporter.

Also noted is the announcement of the Need for Speed Undercover's release on the Apple iPhone. More gaming updates as we get them.

» yeah but

that's just typical EA



Games that show up on new and and old gen consoles are nearly always crap.



If they concentrated on only making new gen games their games would be a lot better and wouldnt get such low ratings

» AMEN BROTHER!

Hot pursuit 2 is the best need for speed ever. i still play it all the time!

by chessboxer - 2008-08-16 04:14
» Hell Yeah

Hot Pursuit 2 was the nuts!! After that, I like Underground (not Underground 2) and Most Wanted, but Hot Pursuit 2 was the daddy of all NFS games.

» I hope it's like NFS Most Wanted

NFS Most Wanted is my favorite so far. Also, I hope they don't make it all night racing because that sucks. I like variety. Yeah, and NFS Hot Pursuit 2 kicks ass too! I even liked NFS 3 on the first Playstation. I played the crap out of that one.

by NemesisDTP - 2008-08-16 13:19
» So True ^^

^NFS HP2 was the BEst NFS alongside with Most Wanted!



A mix of the two would make it ideal!

» Ahh no way?

Well she's ok but I think we all know of some girls who would better fit the cover for this game!

Has anyone else actually seen Naked Weapon? Terrible movie. Except the part where all the female assassins get drugged and raped by two huge guys, and the guys keep giving each other high fives and pats on the back. Bravo, Maggie Q.

by StaindLibra - 2008-08-17 21:32
» LOL

Yay. Another rushed title by EA! :|

» Quigley?

Her last name sounds funny that's probably why she preferred to use Q lol
