Leearigold: By the way guys it's ok to play Need For Speed Hot Pursuit but only until TDU2 comes out. Then you know what to do don't you. Get involved.

 

Check out this tweet for yourself

[sfy2004]

what is this, mind games? is it reverse psychology to get us NOT to buy that game?

[t.]

Had you got your act together we wouldn't be considering playing it. ;)

NFS has not been worth playing since NFS6, I'll stick to Trains & Trucks Tycoon until Portal 2 comes out, and then I can play that for a month until TDU2 comes out.

[Ryzza5]

He didn't say it was ok to buy the game, only to play it. Hmmm - better make sure you keep enough saved to TDU2's eventual 2013 release. :)

 

None of use would've considered playing it if GT5 was released, let alone TDU2 :cheeky:

[CLR-GTR]

Could very well be the case, GT5 is said to have possible motorbike DLC's if demand is strong.

[Ryzza5]

The only DLCs I'm interested in are more tracks

[Eudemon]

Yeah there's a demo you can play and tbh it could be good and would be a right target for TDU2 to aim for in it's police pursuits. Who knows?!

[T0M722]

Well we kind of have to play HP if TDU2 is delayed until whenever next year... Lol.

So does this mean HP3 talk is on topic now? :p

 

It's nice to see employees acknowledging the other games in a pleasantly competitive way for once. :)

This just in, Lee has just resigned from NBP and has moved to EA...

 

wait, what? :p

 

Good to see promotion of other games :)

[Ryzza5]

EA's PR team should use it as a reference: "Even Atari/NBP say you should get this game" :cheeky: :jk:

[Who]

Wouldn't that be something which would hurt sales? :p

[Leadfoot[YT]]

Wouldn't that be something which would hurt sales? :p

 

In theory, yes, but it should be pretty obvious that those who are following racing games and their development (and if you're reading the Tweets of Atari/NBP's head of marketing, you pretty much have to be) are aware of both games.

 

So he's only acknowledging the topic that people are always avoiding - NFS vs. TDU. I feel that this encourages a relationship with the buyers, rather than remaining cold and nameless like EA.

 

Granted, its not what I'd do if I were in marketing. I would probably create ads focusing on NFS's apparent limited topic and point out how TDU2 has all and more. But what Lee's doing is nice. :)

You misinterpreted my post, (note the italics)

 

What I was getting at was the fact an endorsement from Atari/NBP would hurt sale for EA, it'd be like saying 'Mercedes, Endorsed by KIA' :cheeky:

[Ryzza5]

I just thought you were being sarcastic and quoting TopGear :nuts:

[CLR-GTR]

New tweet, Namco Support: further stretching than you can imagine!

 

Lee: Give Driver San Francisco your love

[Eudemon]

Lee used to work with the original Driver series I believe.

Oh, sorry. I know what you're talking about now - SNL did a skit like that during the '08 elections (Bush endorses McCain).

[TheElement911]

I stopped buying NFS cuz I got tired of getting dissapointed but with Criterion behind you can bet I'm buying. But don't worry, I'm buying TDU2 too.;)

[DreadMetis]

But wait guys, you misunderstood THE REAL INFO IN THIS POST !

 

Whaaaat ?? TDU2 is going to be out some day ? Where, when, how !?!

 

I had no idea it would be released :lol:
