Post by **Bojan** » 01 Apr 2004, 11:47

[Edit]As some of you figured out, this was april's fools joke. Need for Speed 8 of course has not gone gold and will not hit the stores this month

It was announced today the the sequel in the Need for Speed Series, simply called Need for Speed 8 has gone gold and will arrive in stores in the US on the 15th and in Europeo n the 18th this month.

The game will once again feature the exotics: 2002 Ferrari Enzo, 2002 Bugatti 16/4 Veyron, 2000 Dodge Hennessey Viper Venom 800TT, 2000 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Concept, 1998 Lamborghini Diablo Evolution GTR and others.

What will make the game different to other games in the series is street racing with the first time in NFS series the ability to run over pedestrians!

More info about the game will follow soon!

ehhmm...dont want to dissapoint you guys, but there is nothing about this on the EA pages/forums as far as i know of.. and it is not like EA to just make a game without having made any announcements... even with NFS:2 they adverticed about a month before going to stores and they announced it a month or 2 before actually selling it.... and i have to say, they have NEVER just dropped a game in the stores..they allways tolled everyone, so the sale figure for the game would be HUGE!!! if you dont announce any of your plans, no one is going to save their money ( if necesary ) to buy the game, so that would be a dumb move... i hope it is true though... realy want to play another game now... masterd Far Cry just now...

so i need a new game!!!
