Blacklist

Blacklist (stylized as BLaCKLiST) is a 2014 racing video game developed by United Gaming along with Ghosts Studios. The game will be produced by EA Games and feature the RACE ENGINE V1. The game is set to release in Summer 2014 with BETA access for those who pre-order coming in Spring 2014 for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC.

Plot
The game is set in the year 2018 where street racing has set an all-time high and in order to cut down on all the illegal driving, new and improved police intercepters have just been put into production and released. SGT. Brandon J Rashan, United Police Unit #24, is currently stationed in Landport, an island just off the east cost in the United States of America and is the most active center for racing. During the day, Rashan helps out his local police force in order to stio all the racing weather its pulling over the racers or ending their life. At night however, Rashan trades in his keys of his Police Intercepter and participates in the racing himself. In fact, Rashan is a league owner of the hottest and most popular street racing series, the Blacklist. Here, everyday drivers can attempt to race and beat the top fifteen drivers in the United States. All the drivers wear "Ghosts" masks due to all of them having either a criminal background, law enforcement background, or even a professional racing background.

The player than has a choice. Either continue to play as Brandon J Rashan and attempt to not only stay #1 on the Blacklist but to also end other street racing divisions or enlist street racers into his own division. The other option is for the player to create his own driver, choose a starter car, and attempt to reach #1 on the Blacklist and eventually turn in Rashan.

The game features a heavy concept on player choices including what to do with captured racers, divisions, and cars. Unlike most racing games, Blacklist is also very mature and includes harsh language, death scenes, and use of substances.

Features
Blacklist features many new concepts that have never been introduced to the racing genre as well as improved features from previous games in the Need For Speed franchise.

AllDrive: A concept that was first introduced in Need For Speed: Rivals, AllDrie allows for the player to quickly switch from single-player to multiplayer. The quick change of cars however will not be available as United Gaming wanted to deliver a more "realistic" version of car changing but the use of changing the in-game options will stil be present in AllDrive as well.

Flashback: One of the new concepts being introduced for the first time ever in Blacklist is Flashback. If the player makes a mistake in a single-player events, they can quickly wind back the clock and be given a retry. This can only be done three times during an event but can be used as many times as whished in FreeDrive.

Escape: Another new concept, Escape returns from Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005) as an improved variant. Now, the player can slow down time, maneuver around a tight area, and continue racing at full speed after a few seconds have past.
