ESRB details Need for Speed: The Run in latest rating
The ESRB have rated, and detailed the next Need for Speed.
Interestingly enough, the game doesn’t contain the usual racing (as we know from trailer), but know we know just how the new title is pushing the franchise to lands unknown. There’s the usual racing, crashing and speed going on but the ESRB have details that some races involve avoiding “machine gunfire from rival drivers or police helicopters” as well as QTE events that involve “head-butting and kicking officers”.
Here’s the full rating:
This is an action racing game in which players compete in a high-stakes coast-to-coast event across North America. As they speed through U.S. cities, players can crash into other vehicles, including police cruisers; players are sometimes rewarded for these crashes. Collisions are highlighted by slow-motion effects, crashing sounds, and flying debris. During some races, players must avoid machine gunfire from rival drivers or police helicopters. Players can also engage in close-up and extended fights that are completed by pressing button sequences corresponding to on-screen prompts (e.g., head-butting and kicking officers.). In one cutscene, the camera pans slowly across a female character’s posterior as a male character looks on. The words “sh*t,” “b*tch,” and “a*shole” can be heard in the dialogue.
What do you think of this new change in course for the franchise?
