Future
In 2010, Criterion Games revived the series with the release of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, as it won several awards, became the highest rated game in Need For Speed's history, and sold more than 8.5 million copies. However, in 2011, EA Black Box extended the downfall with the release of Need for Speed: The Run, as it got mixed reviews and was overall considered a huge disappointment in comparison to Hot Pursuit. EA Labels president Frank Gibeau said although he's proud of the Black Box-developed installment, "I don't want a 60, I want an 80+". On the subject of The Run's developer, EA Black Box, Gibeau said the publisher will not be changing its dual studio strategy. However, Criterion vice president Alex Ward told GameInformer at E3 2012 that the days of random developers churning out yearly NFS updates are over. Ward wouldn't confirm that all Need for Speed titles for the future would developed wholly by Criterion, but he did say that the studio will have "strong involvement" in them. Ward was, however, clear that Criterion will have control over which Need for Speed titles will come out in the future.

Famous quotes containing the word future:
“The ellipse is as aimless as that,
Stretching invisibly into the future so as to reappear
In our present. Its flexing is its account,
Return to the point of no return.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“The Oregon [matter] and the annexation of Texas are now all- important to the security and future peace and prosperity of our union, and I hope there are a sufficient number of pure American democrats to carry into effect the annexation of Texas and [extension of] our laws over Oregon. No temporizing policy or all is lost.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“The future is made of the same stuff as the present.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
