EA has released a sliver of new information on its latest instalment in the hugely popular Need for Speed series, Undercover.
EA notes that Need for Speed Undercover will take the franchise back to its roots, re-introducing break-neck cop chases, the world's hottest cars and spectacular highway battles.
The game is scheduled for release this holiday and will feature movie star Maggie Q (MI3, Die Hard 4.0) as the lead character in the "big-budget live-action sequences that propel the game's original story forward".
Need for Speed Undercover is being developed by Black Box and is scheduled for release in North America on November 18 and in Europe on November 21. The game will be available for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, DS, PSP and PC.




NFS is going Hollywood. The upcoming story-intensive game will have you playing as a wheelman, an undercover cop who infiltrates a car thievery ring to take the crime syndicate down from the inside. The game will star singer-songwriter/actress Christina Milian (one of the stars of Chud guilty pleasure Torque) and Maggie Q (MI:3, Live Free or Die Hard) amongst a larger cast. These full motion videos are being directed by Joseph Hodges, who's most famous for being the production designer for 24.

he thing that's immediately apparent is how they're trying to really make this a Hollywood production. No green screen nonsense here- it's real actors, real locations, and real cars. We saw a speech by the actor who portays the character you play as which gave a real good sense of the grittiness they're going for. It was apparently all improv, and very good at that. They're even making sure the videos have the same look and feel of the game. Course, it's way too early to tell how the game and videos will work together, but rest assured that besides this they're doing some other very interesting things with the series (finally!)

Just like Pro Street, promised the world and delivered nothing.

At least there is some decent eye candy again in Maggie Q. I like the concept, but no doubt it will be poorly delivered.

Well its good theyve atleast acklowledged that noone liked the "safe and legal" aspect of pro street and we can go back to ripping burnouts around coppers. It sounds good, so lets just hope they dont **** it up. As Stealthy said, this game is make or break for me on the franchise.

That pro street was an absolute eyesore to me. I'm sticking with the unstable carbon. For now its entertaining and so are Underground 1 and 2.

If EA doesn't catch up its pace with Need For Speed, I'd be going with its arch rival, namely Gran Tourismo.

mmm yeh i loved the nfs series until it let me down lately,
i played that pro street once chrissy day, thats it,

they always seem to talk the talk but neva walk the walk,

hopefully they slap themselves in the head, actually put some effort into this game with no loose ends.

if so it will be a good game,
