EA is pretty brilliant in the IPs they've bought...
Need for Speed has been a good series.. tho I thought Hot Pursuit was the pinacle.
However, EA has done some wonders with the Burnout series and NHL series.
The problem EA has tho, is that they are on this endless yearly release schedule. It's great for continued revenue, but has really hurt the progression of the games in some cases.
racing games are probably the ones that need a yearly release the least.... so they make up for it by inventing need.. They try to make games more or less edgy, change up the feature sets, etc in the hopes to find a niche to fill --
so in reality you end up with a series of yearly releases where only every other game truly warrants a purchase. I can only hope that Burnout goes back to it's roots a bit more -- I can appreciate a game that's more like Burnout 2 than the 2nd last burnout.
Now that being said, when is EA going to get the next SSX or Freakstyle out there? I have a need for bright, fun arcade games.
Am I the only one who thinks gritty realisim has ruined classics like Tony Hawk and others?
