Dun-dun-duuuun. Car manufacturer McLaren seems to have something to do with the likes of Microsoft's Next Xbox event later today - so it could be Forza Motorsport or Project Gotham related right?
Well, Need for Speed's Facebook also posted a picture of a McLaren to "brighten up" our day, and given that EA and Microsoft are said to be very cosy over the next Xbox for exclusives...

UPDATE: "Totally fake. Remakes and Reboots?" tweet Criterion.
Another subtitled adventure within the Need for Speed series is getting the Criterion reboot treatment, according to rumour, and this time it'll be Underground. It will apparently be set in a new Bayview City.
An anonymous party sent in a proposed logo for this reboot, saying it was in development for Xbox 360. Oddly the logo includes landmarks like Big Ben and the Coliseum. Something's not right.

It seems the Facebook page for LM Gianetti has blabbed about something they shouldn't have after uploading photos of photographers, presumed to be linked to Polyphony, and then created an album.
That picture album was entitled "scansione per Gran Turismo PS4", which translates into "scan for Gran Turismo PS4". It was later renamed to just 'scanning' and then deleted altogether.

The trouble with PlayStation 3? It was tough to develop for; to squeeze out the best performance, says senior executive producer Clive Moody from Codemasters. PlayStation 4's architecture is easier.
It's great news for developers, he continued, saying the 'last thing we want is stuff in the way'. Codemasters' GRiD 2 is a current gen racer, confirmed Moody, so PS4 is unlikely.
