Criterion & DICE Teaming Up On NFS: Hot Pursuit
According to
Eurogamer, EA studio's Criterion and DICE are teaming up to work on Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit.
According to Criterion art director Henry LaBounta,
“It’s been a great collaboration actually."
“Early on we set style guides for what we wanted to create out of this game, to offer players the ability to see a wide variety of types of environments from the deserts to the mountains to the forest to the coastal routes and so forth.”
Criterion’s senior engineer Alex Fry said;
“We designed the world here, handling guys and the world artists worked together to make sure the game world drives well and feels right,” he said.
“Once we finessed that and locked all the roads down, Henry set out the art style and how this game was going to look. Then we built in core locations… this is going to be seaside, this is going to be the mountain range, we wanted a bridge here… we mapped out the rough lay of the land and then DICE with our art director went in and turned it into something beautiful.”
You can expect a ton of coverage of NFS: Hot Pursuit this week at Gamescom in Cologne.
The game is out in November for the PS3, 360, Wii, and PC.
