Just not to you.
Burnout developer Criterion has tweeted that it will be revealing its upcoming Need for Speed title today for the first time. Here's the catch -- it's being shown off internally at Electronic Arts, which means you ain't seeing squat. This internal meeting (and the public admission of such) is a good indicator that we will be seeing something soon, perhaps as early as GDC in March (but more likely E3 June).
Rumors had surfaced that this Need for Speed game would be subtitled "Out of the Law," but the developer quickly squashed that. Because that sounds like some nonsense that was run through Babel Fish, and it can do better than that.
Might I suggest Need for Speed: OMFG Did You See How Fast That Car Flipped Over and Then Exploded?
Need for Speed will be shown for... [@CriterionGames]

I'd like something like a mash-up of Takedown and Revenge. I liked the Aftertouch system.
Also, in Criterion I trust.
In the end though, it didn't really take all *that* long to get to events you hadn't already done. Worth it for the timed Road Rules and sense of go anywhere during Stunt mode. Finding a massive string of stunts was particularly pleasing, and something that could've only happened in such a game structure.
I didn't like the Crash Road Rules though, they were very average. No interesting vehicles other than buses for mults (and their appearance pretty random), and just a prety much infinite degree of control trying to hit one or two cars at a time... it lost the impact (sorry) of previous Burnouts.
I wouldn't like to second guess their output, but as CelicaCrazed said, in Criterion I trust.
