EA has a nifty interview with Criterion Games’ Matt Webster in which he talks about the size ofNeed for Speed: Hot Pursuit, among other bullet-point-sounding things.
“Put simply it’s around 4x bigger thanBurnout Paradise, for cars to be able to usefully reach 260 miles an hour.” According to Webster, we can expect “well over 100 miles of tarmac road and 30-40% more off-road and shortcut areas.”
I’m of the opinion that bigger isn’t always the way to go (Far Cry 2says “hello”), but Criterion knows what it’s doing, so I can’t say that I’m really worried.
