Need for Speed: ProStreet (NFS:PS) is the latest installment of Electronic Arts' popular racing game series Need for Speed. On May 21, 2007, Electronic Arts published a teaser trailer of ProStreet, and was then officially announced ten days later on May 31, 2007. Official release date for North America was set to October 31, 2007, and for Europe to the following day, November 1. In the end of September the official release date was postponed to November 14.

GamePlay:


Need for Speed: ProStreet will take the Need for Speed series in a new direction of gameplay. Instead of an arcade style of gameplay which has dominated the series, ProStreet will focus much more on realism and move closer to, but not into, racing simulation, and still with options to use driving assistants to make driving easier and more arcade-like. Unlike its predecessors, all racing in ProStreet will take place on closed tracks, thus making it the first game in the series not animating illegal racing behaviour since Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed, hence there will not be any police in the game. Performance tuning will take up a large part of gameplay in a way that even a small adjustment of the shape of a car's body will impact its performance. Autosculpt is back from Carbon, but with much greater detail. According to an Electronic Arts employee, there will be thousands of aftermarket upgrades, visual and performance, from real performance brands. ProStreet will feature next-generation graphics aiming for a more photo-realistic feel, and more advanced physics. It will also be the first Need for Speed game to include damage modelling since 2000's Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed. The new damage system is said to be very accurate, as a collision with any object in the game world may render a car damaged or even useless.

Features:

Cars

There will be over sixty cars from around twentysix manufactures included in ProStreet. Only eight of these are supercars, making them relatively rare, as in real life. The game will also feature the new Nissan GT-R PROTO.

Characters

As usual with recent Need for Speed titles, ProStreet will feature some girls casting as characters in the game. This time, Krystal Forscutt, a former Big Brother Australia contestant, and Sayoko Ohashi will cast in the game.

Online mode

As before, the game will feature an online mode. However, unlike previous Need for Speed titles, it will be much more integrated into the game; as long as a player is connected to the internet and logged in, his/her in-game progress will be recorded for the purpose of online leaderboards. A player's custom-built cars can also be shared online via "Blueprints", with the creator being given credit whenever their car is used for a leaderboard.
