And they get that in a very high quality form," he explained. "What people get from this year that we didn't ship a game, is they get a game that delivers on all the core tenets of what Need for Speed should be. The end result of spending an extra year on development is a better overall product, Nilsson says. "So what we've been doing in this year off is we've been trying to understand what people think Need for Speed should be standing for."
"To build that specific game, we needed time and needed to understand from fans: what is the type of game you want us to build?" Nilsson said.

We recently had a chance to speak with Nilsson about the new Need for Speed game.

First, the game (which is inspired by the Underground series but doesn't have a name yet) will be an open-world, day-to-night racer featuring "deep customization," car culture by way of a partnership with EA's own Speedhunters, and even an "immersive narrative" that Ghost says will pull players through the game. What we do now know are high-level points about the new Need for Speed game.
