Following on from yesterday’s news of an exclusive FIFA reveal and something relating to Battlefield 4, EA have teased that a new Need For Speed will also grace the Xbox Reveal tonight at the Microsoft campus.
The hint initially came via McLaren who had been prompting something for a day. Overnight the Need for Speed Facebook page posted the shot of the iconic orange vehicle.
Interestingly, this morning it looks like the post has been removed – it’s still in Google’s cache and there’s a screengrab, of course.
Most were assuming Microsoft would be wheeling out the likes of a new Project Gotham Racing or – perhaps – a new Forza title. Another EA reveal doesn’t quite have the same impact – let’s just hope they’re confined to a short ‘sizzle’ video rather than individual announcements from a single publishers.
Microsoft have already said that tonight’s show is just about the console rather than the games, with the good stuff being saved for E3 in a couple of weeks. Yesterday Sony attempted to spoil Microsoft’s party with a teasing glimpse of the console and confirming that we won’t (leaks aside) see the full console until Sony roll it out in Los Angeles a day before E3 starts.
Did it work? We’ll see soon.

Really don’t get why publishers and developers showing up at xbox sells xbox. They are multi plat games and both Sony and ms have a relationship with them. Anyhoo, suppose it fills a bit of time. Not hearing much about anything actually xbox related. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Maybe a time exclusive or something like that.

yeah, it’s a marquee they’ve spent a couple of week constructing outside their Redmond headquarters. Smart move, keeping it all on-campus. Less chance of leaks and such.
Still, I hear it’s raining heavily in Seattle right now, hopefully that’s not too noisy on their marquee roof…
