Slecht nieuws van Electronic Arts, het spel Need for Speed: Most Wanted zal namelijk niet online gaan op de PlayStation 2 console. Larry LaPierre liet dit weten in een interview met GameSpot dat hij onlangs gaf. EA zou namelijk niet de kwaliteit bieden die men had verwacht.
GameSpot: So what was the biggest decision behind forgoing the online component to the PlayStation 2 version of NFSMW?
Larry LaPierre: Our end goal is to create a fun and exciting gameplay experience for gamers. From the initial stages of development, there are many features on the drawing board that we want to put in the game in an ideal situation. We have to ask ourselves for every feature in the game, “Will it meet our high standard of quality, and how will it affect the overall experience of the game?”
