Fairhaven: a city built to race, chase and explore

In Need for Speed Most Wanted, freedom is everything. Drive anywhere, explore the world, hang out with your friends, compete in challenges or toy with the cops.

We’ve worked hard to design and build a large, open city environment around 3 fun ideas: Race, Chase and Explore.

Race

Our races are about blasting across town and shooting through checkpoints, not keeping to prescribed, walled-in routes.

Knowledge of the world will help you anticipate turns or shortcuts and give you the edge over your friends, whether you’re racing head-to-head or taking on their Autolog records.

For Most Wanted, we've evolved our handling to give you crisper control in the dense city grid and to deliver a deeper, more physical feel that shows off the different characteristics of the cars.

Chase

Fairhaven’s policed by fast, tough, aggressive cops.

These guys aren’t playing games. But you’re well equipped to handle them.  It’s great fun to bait these guys, escalate the pursuit and then ditch them – your way.

Hit jumps and shortcuts, switch cars, hide out or do what your car does best: whether that’s handling off-road, clearing jumps, hitting 200+ MPH down straight lines or whipping through back alleys.  The choice is yours.

And our live online play is not just about racing.  Burnout fans will testify to the awesomeness of the Freeburn Challenge gameplay that forms the foundation of our multiplayer.  It's all about open world.  To find out more, check out our multiplayer post.

Explore

If you want to hang out with your friends, chat and compare cars, Fairhaven’s just the place to do it.

There's plenty to keep you occupied as the entire city is open from the start.  Drive anywhere from freeways to quarries to dense urban areas and see what each car can do.

We’re big on “collectible gameplay”.  The world’s loaded with hundreds of billboards, garages, drive-thrus and Jack Spots.  Each one offers different challenges.  Can you find them all?

Autolog records everything you do and broadcasts your acheivements to your friends.  If your friends have been busy, your Fairhaven will be filled with their best times, jump distances and speeds.

Thanks to Autolog, you're never alone in Fairhaven, even when you're friends are offline.

I must say this is looking rather good!

Maybe they should have called it Need for Speed Burnout.

So this sounds more like Burnout Paradise than Hot Pursuit, right? I used to have a high opinion of Criterion but Hot Pursuit was hot crap, with repetitive events and pathetic online..... Are they going to publish a FULL game as it was with Burnout Paradise or a game you get bored with in a week as it was with Hot Pursuit?

Hot Pursuit had some of the betterer online racing game modes this century.

Maybe... but there were two or three of them and nothing else.

Just compare with the amount of things you can do in Burnout Paradise and Hot Pursuit looks pathetic; three lobby-based types of races, not a single "challenge", trophies for participating in the first race... Hot Pursuit is designed to give very little so that you "expand your experience" buying DLC; it's blatantly obvious that several things were left out of the game just for the purpose of selling DLC.

Besides, the offline part of NFS-HP was poor, short and plagued by a ridiculous AI.

Hey guys,

I am mozambican. I am looking for NFS friends in/from South Africa for a challenge Mozambique vs. South Africa( or other country to challenge). The idea is:

1. Create an event/page on fb(if possible);
2. Drop the PSN id there with respective nationality;
3. Select a date and time;
4. Race on scheduled date.

I thought that if possible we could use skype for live video fun during race on both sides(country captain side preferably).

Feel free to msg me on PSN - MLI-83 or michaeltsdlee@hotmail.com

Regards,

Looking forward to this. Do think that Criterion have made better racing games than Black box did
