Now we all know NFS is already making NFS12. This is undisputed. We however do not know which direction the game is going. According to a Small section in a fiscal blog at gamespot (link below), they had stated quite specifically that the game will be going towards its old roots, but once again with a new twist.
quoted from Gamespot News
[... EA Games president] Frank Gibeau also mentioned the next installment in another of EA's racing franchises, Need for Speed. While a new Need for Speed in development isn't surprising (the franchise has been annualized since 2002's Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2), Gibeau did give the analysts an early look at the direction EA would be taking with the next installment of the series.
Noting that sales of last year's Need for Speed ProStreet didn't live up to EA's hopes for the game, Gibeau said he thinks it was because the series drifted too far from what consumers expected. ProStreet had dropped the tuner culture and police evasion aspects of previous installments in favor of perfectly legit closed track racing. For the next Need for Speed, Gibeau promised that the series would be getting back to its roots with a number of features, including open-world racing and a new highway battle mode.
The funny thing, is that TUNERS ARE NOT the roots of Need For Speed.
However, the police have always been a welcome addition to any NFS.
