Need for Speed Most Wanted confirmed for October
by Steve Watts, Jun 04, 2012 2:27pm PDTThough EA confirmed the game last week, the company showed off Need for Speed Most Wanted at its E3 press briefing today. More significantly, the game was given a firm release date: October 30.
The game is coming from Criterion, and carrying that open-world appeal of Burnout Paradise. In a short gameplay demonstration, we saw the open world in action. EA announced in a press release that it will also ship a "limited edition" pack featuring double speed points, custom liveries, pre-customized rollouts, a Maserati GranTurismo MC Stradale and Porsche 911 Carrera S.
It's headed to PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Vita, iOS and Android.

There's also this gem of naming conventions:
Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit (1998, EA Canada)
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 (2002, EA Black Blox)
Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010, Criterion)
I'm pretty much never going to buy any future EA titles due to Origin, but it feels like Need For Speed is so far off the rails, between Shift, the Criterion-developed Burnout clones, and the really off-the-rails spinoffs like Nitro and World. I'd rather just stick with GT5, or check out Project CARS.
