Re: Need for Speed Heat - June Update - Update Notes

@BVBgamer88 TBH back in 2002 EA had chance to buy Criterion(which was bought after their parent company Acclaim fell apart in 2004) However back then Criterion was tasked to make a Skate or Die reboot and try to make a new NFS(Which would be NFS2004 since 2003 was done by BB as UG1)However their new NFS(a stunt driving game close to Burnout Paraidse Big Surf Island) project was shut down by BB.Criterion was told to drop the project NFS or be sued by BB until they gone broke.So the first collaboration collapsed.BB became the definitive NFS team after EA Canada turned to Sports games like FIFA/UFC.BB originally had plan to switch between HP and UG to please both faction,however EA chose to continue UG trend which led to UG2 that replaced HP3 in 2004.BB then changed the delayed HP3 project to a game with story and character,so we got MW2005.Carbon on the other hand was set to be UG3 but changed to a direct continuation to MW2005.Criterion tried to bring back 90s NFS by taking 100% control in HP2010 project which led to harder push in following MW2 project which failed so hard the direction sequel to HP2010 was unfinished as Rivals.If Criterion was still the Criterion from pre-2013 era.Maybe we can see what BB meant to do in the beginning-switch between HP and UG(MW)However since there is ex-Bizarre dev in current CM(which is under EA control) we may see another brand new 90s style NFS from CM close to Driveclub or PGR.
