John Riccitiello has unveiled the next Need for Speed game and confessed to "torturing" developers working on previous instalments in the series.

 

Need for Speed Undercover, as the game is titled, will have been in development for considerably longer than its predecessors by the time it's released later this year.

 

Speaking in an investors meeting, Riccitiello confirmed that the NFS team worked on 12-month development cycles for eight years in a row before bosses took pity on them.

 

"Last summer we added head count and split the team in two, so now there are two teams on a 24 month cycle," Riccitiello stated.

 

"We were torturing a very talented group of people up in Vancouver, which makes it harder to be as innovative every year. So, I think we are going to get better from here."

 

Riccitiello is confident Need for Speed Undercover will "a much better game" than the previous instalment in the series, thanks in part to a richer storyline. Doesn't sound like he was too impressed with Need for Speed Pro Street, which came out last November.

 

"I thought it was an okay game, in terms of gameplay. It's not good," Riccitiello observed. He's not wrong.

 

"But who wanted Pro Street? It was a sort of made up, put numbers on the side of your car and pretend to drive your Ferrari where? Or your Porsche where?"

 

Undercover, according to Riccitiello, is instead taking cues from action films. "For those of you who ever saw movies like The Transporter - it's sort of a cult classic among people with a B-movie mentality, which fits me perfectly," he said.

 

"I liked it. I apologise. For those of you with no taste, and you liked it too, we can go have a Schlitz after this." Love to.

 

There's no word on which platforms Need for Speed Undercover is in development for, but chances are it's more than one. Or eight.

With all these new games knocking on our doors we need to buy new pcs (those who have 2+ years) very fast. Even if it will be a total disaster we will play it and test it for shure. I hope they won't disapoint us.

    • Had to set up a bunch of virtual numbers for a small project last month, and SMS-Activate worked fine for quick testing. For longer-term stuff, I ended up using Telxi — their service made it easy to handle voice and messaging without extra headaches. It kept things simple and reliable, which mattered a lot when I was juggling other tasks.
    • So how to build this. As a concept. Farming actions should be done by coding. Target choose AI. Avoid getting stuck.   What is AI actually needed for inside a game?.   Chatting moving and choosing Example call for custom town event. Second example come for pvp at that area. It Is amazing to have players respond.   Is there a way to run something on each players PC? Like what boting programs do? Do it. To avoid server lag.   Second. AI for monster's. To be able to feel each monster like a pvp. is what makes a game a masterpiece. Plus insulting. In real Time.   AI for npcs. It can help but is not Worth if it causes even a fragment of lag.   AI and party. Clan. Can it be smart enough to have any meaning to use it as a real player?  If yes it should be added. AI should also be used on pets.   Chatting  with allied AI. If you can explain to it to focus the healer and it does. it's becoming perfect.   It should be like a friend and an assistant.    How this should be done. Different AI for fake players Different for monsters. Why? Monsters are easy to manage. Players are not. You must add also the events rules. Example. CTF go and try to score.   How to make AI for pvp. Set rules to avoid feeding. How? Smart call for friends. Events go all in unless something is wrong. Overseer needed.  Should npc try to be a real player? No. Unless it's a custom server. Npc must try to buy or auto earn only with fixed prices. To avoid getting scammed exploited. Should they farm forever? Yes. Should they progress? Yes. Having people on farm zones makes the game alive.   Now.  What is needed.   An AI as an overseer. Check and correct the rest. An AI for the players. An AI for the monsters. Npc really optional not worth. How it should be done.   Make the training data you want. Via interface assist. And copy paste them inside the main mother model. So people can actually use and train the AI for their own unique server.   If it is possible to explain as GM char  And the AI can be asked to save it. It would be the perfect scenario. Also option to showcase to you.   So one program for the AI. And another for training. Can AI be used for low rate servers? No it will never work. Can it be used for custom server's? Yes it will be able to thrive.   If there is anything you can't understand in general.   Or if you don't understand why everything should be done exactly as explained above. I can help you with it  in absolute detail.
