NEED for SPEED
Origin
The Need for Speed series was originally developed by Distinctive Software, a game studio based in Vancouver, Canada. Prior to Electronic
Arts' purchase of the company in 1991, it had already created popular racing
games such as Stunts and Test Drive II: The Duel. After the
purchase was made, the company was renamed EA Canada.
The company capitalized on its experience in the domain when it began
developing the Need For Speed series in late 1992.
Electronic Arts Canada continued to develop and expand the Need For Speed
franchise for many years. In 2002, another Vancouver-based gaming company,
named Black
Box Games, was contracted to continue the series with the title Need for
Speed: Hot Pursuit 2. Black Box Games was acquired by Electronic Arts
shortly before the game's publication and the company was renamed Electronic Arts
Black Box and became a part of EA Canada. Since then EA Black Box has been NFS's
primary developer.
