I en intervju med Polygon berättar Patrick Söderlund (EA executive) att Need for Speed-serien numera hör till EA Sports.
"When you've had a franchise that's been going on for 20 years like Need for Speed, I think it was time for us to get a different pair of eyes on it, a fresh look and feel on it. If something can come in and make take it to the next level, take it to a different direction", säger Söderlund.
Han utvecklar varför man gjort såhär: "I think that we can learn a lot from the sports games and what they've done. When you play a sports game, the controller in your hand will dictate how good the game is. It's all about player control and input and how it feels. It's a feeling, right? I think that focus on pure gameplay, is something that can benefit the Need for Speed brand in a very positive way".
Sannolikt kommer detta inte betyda några större förändringar för framtida Need for Speed-delar, men tänker man på det har serien med sina uårliga uppföljare onekligen mer gemensamt med EA Sports än andra EA-titlar.
Nästa del i serien, Need for Speed: Rivals släpps för övrigt den 22 november.
