EA Guildford(Criterion/Ghost UK) is still opening positions for devs and other jobs(security and such)An empty dev without engine/experience or manpower to make racing games takes over EA's biggest racing games series.Next Gen NFS is certainly doomed with such situation.

@GK3512 They could allways try get some help from Codemasters, they have long epxperiance with racing games. I mean they have F1 Dirt Rally Grid etc, and they are from UK too. But yeah it does not look good for the future of NFS,if EA wasent so damn greedy this would never happend.
- 6 years ago@BVBgamer88 Fake Criterion lacks so many things compared to real Criterion(Alex era)Also NFS isnt doing well throughout this gen(Rivals-Heat) which was the main reason Ghost being kicked out of NFS.If Fake Criterion cant put out a bomber polished hit game this year or next,NFS is dead for sure.
Also even if they did well in next gen,they wont survive throughout next gen as EA's typical BUY RUSH KILL cycle will return again and again- 6 years ago@GK3512 Yeah and that is making me so sad, because im actually older then the NFS series. 6 years older too be honest, so i actually hate too see it die. But if they cant ditch this FF trend and bring back cannonball, the series can just die out honestly.
- 6 years ago@BVBgamer88 TBH the only reason this dying series isn't totally killed off is the continous studios working on it.We've got EA Canada as the original,which got replaced by EA seattle/Black Box and left to do FIFA.Black Box itself was killed after 4 continous failures(Carbon PS Undercover TR)Real Criterion did 2 and a half games(HP2010 MW2012 Rivals as new HP2) then got split into small group making supporting modes in SWBF and BF.While the rest either left with Alex/Fiona or smashed into Ghost which did the stupid ricer reboot and keep failing ever since rushed Rivals.Then there's Eden(TDU devs) with a name-only NFS V-Rally.The last is Slightly Mad's Shift series which was rushed and left EA to Namco with the basically same game under Project Cars name.Spearhead made Edge and NFSOL here in China.But sadly that game flopped hell and Edge itself was shut down previously.
So it's clear that NFS brand is a curse.Every dev worked/working on this series either killed off like Blackbox or left EA like Slight Mad or moved to other project like EA Canada.Stupid series like this should be killed off to prevent more talented devs being rushed to pieces by greedy EA.
