Everyone knows that racing game fanatics love tearing up the road with the vehicles we use in game. Not only do we want to win at whatever game mode it is, we want to look cool doing it. What better way then to see these moments on the replay after a said race right? Well the past couple of years we've seen a huge drought in any sort of replay function in some of our favorite racing franchises or new ones. What's the cause of such an absence? and are racing replays gone for good?
"Electronic Arts Inc. has announced today that the Need for Speed franchise has surpassed 100M units sold life to date. The newest release, Need for Speed SHIFT, pushes the franchise over the 100M mark, making it the best-selling racing brand in the gaming world."

"Let's look at the stats:

* $120 mil in company savings
* Restructuring charges of $55 - 65 mil
EA has yet to name the other eight studios it will be shutting down, but it did announce that it will be relocating some employees and franchises to offices in Burnaby, British Columbia."
Need For Speed. Regarded as one of the top racing game franchises ever made. The question is, is that fact true any more? NFS fans everywhere were greedily awaiting NFS : ProStreet. But did EA satisfy their hunger? I think not. I only hope that they make up for it with the PSP version which is having a release date of Feb 2008.
