"The Run is our career mode – it's an epic coast-to-coast race, that's
the core conceit of the game," he explains. "But the narrative that it's
wrapped around is that the main character Jack finds himself in a stick
situation at the very beginning, and basically the only way to get out
of it and become free again is to enter this race and win the prize
money. If he doesn't win, he's going to be killed, that's what it comes
down to – it's really a race for his life."
It allows for a huge variety of environments, rather than the street-racing locales that have traditionally defined the Need for Speed series. I play a short, intense section of The Run through a Death Valley desert canyon, a twisting, undulating road with rocky outcrops jutting up into the sky in the distance. The aim is to pass the opponents before the finishing line, which is harder than it sounds – this is still very much an arcade racer, with tight, satisfying handling and high speeds, but pick a bad place to attempt an overtake and you'll go slamming into a rock wall.
The cross-country concept also allows for a variety of gameplay, whether it's racing technically around winding mountain tracks, hurtling into oncoming traffic on an interstate or evading cops in a city. There are one-on-one rival battles against arch-enemies, sprint races, elimination sections and cop pursuits, all of which feed into the overarching narrative. Having real locations has been a new experience for Black Box – the Frostbite 2 engine has made it much easier for them to create these open, detailed environments.
