UPDATE: ”Totally fake. Remakes and Reboots?” tweet Criterion.
Original story
Another subtitled adventure within the Need for Speed series is getting the Criterion reboot treatment, according to rumour, and this time it’ll be Underground. It will apparently be set in a new Bayview City.
An anonymous party sent in a proposed logo for this reboot, saying it was in development for Xbox 360. Oddly the logo includes landmarks like Big Ben and the Coliseum. Something’s not right.
This looks like Photoshop mischief. Given that Criterion is all about burning rubber on the virtual streets, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what bit of NFS they’re working on.
So far the Burnout Paradise developer has rebooted Need for Speed’s Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted.
