Criterion's Alex Ward doesn't work on racing games Tuesday, 16.04.2013
CriterionThe headline might be weird, but isn't it funny how some innocent tweets can stir up the internet and evolve to a shocking news that Criterion Games might has stopped working on racing games? Many media sites picked up a story, based on tweets by Criterion's Creative Directory Alex Ward.

It all started with small rumours about an » unannounced racing game at Criterion Games, which could be a new Need for Speed or Burnout. Then » EGM publish a logo draft of a new » NFS Underground, which was pointed out as a fake by Criterion's developer Alex Ward. (see here and here)

Then Alex Ward went even further and announced not to be working on another racing game, as it is time for something new:

After over a decade of making racing games it's time to make something new. It is early days thus I have nothing to "announce" or talk about.

But if you are following me expecting some Megaton of a new Burnout game, or an Underground remake then I have to disappoint you.

I am proud of all of the Burnout games. When it feels right we will make another one. We are creative people.

Well, several media sites interpreted this as the Studio Criterion Games won't be making any more racing games, but this was demented today by Alex, indicating that HE was the one who isn't working on racing games anymore, not the whole team...

As entertaining Twitter can be, when you cram your messages in 140 characters it can easily lead to misunderstandings, as this example showed...
