Need For Speed Undercover dated, Christina Milian confirmed
Unlike NFS: Pro Street, which was heavily hyped throughout the course of 2007, the upcoming NFS: Undercover seem to trying to stay below the radar. However, it now seems EA are finally ready to start the hype-train for the game by releasing the first trailer for the title on YouTube.
Seeing as the trailer for the game is all live-action / CGI, it really does not tell us much in regards to the content of the game, and what the gameplay will be like. However, in the trailer Christina Milian makes an appearance, which pretty much confirms she will be this years poster-girl for the game. Actress Maggie Q also appears in the trailer too. The trailer ends by confirming a release date for this game, Novemeber 18th, and showing a link to a website – Whichroadtotake.com
Previously, Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello stated that Undercover is taking inspiration from action films such as The Transporter to tell the games story. John Doyle, from EA Black Box also hinted that the game will have a “Most Wanted-ish” sandbox style of gameplay.
Riccitiello also previously commented that ProStreet didn’t live up to EA’s hopes for the game, which is a pretty candid statement for a CEO to make about one of his own games. As a result this game has being granted a longer period in development – 18 months instead of the usual 12.

Hot Pursuit was not freeroam though, and that was godly
I really hope this will be a cross between Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted, that is the best direction they could take th series in my opinion

NFSU1 wasnt freeroam but was awesome. Imo NFSU2 sucked becuase the freeroam felt horrible and chucked together.
When NFS MW came about I cringed, but when I got my hands it. Was my favourite NFS next to hot persuit 2. Carbon was shit-balls just because it lacked challenge anywhere, online or off.
Pro street was awful! Boring! But for people who goto track-days and stuff like that might find it intresting. I just didnt. They tried making it realistic and it just failed on every aspect of realism. Apart from your damage carrying over onto other days and races, I liked that part of it.
I just hope this one is good.

I can see the franchise turning into Burnout with Modding and Cops. I pray there are tracks to race on rather then free roaming. I hated that about burnout.

i think it was fun wen u got chased by cops but i still thiink they should put more tuneing and free roam back into it like nfs2 that was and still is the best raceing game i ever played and they should actualy make the cars sound beter becaouse that makes the game to nobody realy cares how realistic a game lucks just how fun it is and how much things you can do in it like in nfs2 u could even do ur merrers and i hate nfs pro street cuz you onli get these shity made up bodykits and the vinals are rubish all im realy saing is make it more like nfs2 its sooooo much beter and its nt like theres no room on the double lared blue ray disc like think of a better excuse
