The new trailer for the upcoming reboot game Need for Speed talks about the importance of Reputation in the game, and the "five ways to play". There are five ways to "play" Need for Speed—Speed, Style, Build, Crew, and Outlaw. Speed is what is is—being the fastest; Style is about pulling off those awesome car tricks and exhibitions on the road; Build is the player's very own custom car project; Crew is about racing with the team as one; Outlaw is all about racing mixed with all the risk of being hunted by the law. Each "way" to play gives the player Reputation points in the game. In other news, Need for Speed Executive Producer Marcus Nilsson explained to Official Xbox Magazine why the reboot game requires players to be always connected to the internet—and it has a lot to do with the new game features they are introducing. "We've been pretty big with Autolog throughout the years and, as we know, it's a really powerful feature," Nilsson explained. "This time around we're going to give it more of a human voice. It will treat your friend's play as if it is part of the narrative experience."

"We also have a new snapshot system as well," he added. "Which is taking pictures of a lot of different moments--[they go] out to the Need for Speed network where people can 'like' them, and those likes are being pushed back into the game as currency. So you get progression from sharing your photos. The Xbox One has really good built-in systems to make videos and stream them, which we are also going to use."
Nilsson, in a separate interview, also talked about their DLC plans for the game, and how they plan to sustain the interest of players outside the offer of new car packs everytime.
"We have pretty significant plans of what we think will work and I think the story that you see in this game can effectively help to keep you in there, as well as many other ways that we can refresh and renew content for you throughout," he said.
Need for Speed releases for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on November 3.

The branding gurus are really earning their wages down Redmond way Outlook for the Web's new weather-enabled calendar app 14 5 Aug 2015 at 02:58,  Simon Sharwood Fresh from showing glimpses of the next-generation Outlook Web Access client in a preview of Exchange Server 2016 , Microsoft has now detailed just how the new version of the browser-bound Outlook will work. There's a new name for starters: “Outlook Web Access” is now “Outlook on the web”. Those marketers sure are earning their wage! Microsoft saying all the usual stuff about the revision making you more productive. The feature touted as making the greatest contribution to that cause is the new “Action toolbar” that “provides quick access to the most common commands, whether you are clearing out your inbox, replying to an email, or adding an event to your calendar.” One of the things you'll see on the toolbar, depicted below, is the “Sweep” command. That's come from Outlook.com and “provides a simple set of act...

Microsoft upgrades its Surface tablets to Windows 10

By
Consumers interested in buying one of Microsoft's Surface tablets will now find it with Windows 10 preinstalled. Microsoft's  online page  for its lower-cost Surface lineup shows that the tablet now comes with Windows 10 Home edition. The page for the pricier and beefier Surface Pro 3  indicates that they're outfitted with Windows 10 Pro edition. Microsoft has been on a tear to push out Windows 10, partly to make up for the poor response to Windows 8 and partly to get as many Windows users as possible all on the same platform. The company has been offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8.1 users for the first year. Last Thursday, Microsoft announced that the new OS was  running on 14 million devices  since its official launch the previous day. Now the challenge is to get PC and tablet makers to outfit their new devices with Windows 10. Microsoft certainly would want to lead the way, so it's natural for its own Surface tablets to now be sporting W...
