EA's E3 2011 press conference is in full swing, and a demonstration of Need for Speed: The Run revealed a number of details regarding the upcoming racer.
In the Run, you'll be racing across the country from San Francisco to New York, avoiding an extremely aggressive police force along the way. Your career will be tracked by the Autolog system, which was introduced in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit and tracks your progress, along with the progress of your friends.
During the demonstration, the presenter officially revealed that the action will take place on-foot as well as on the road. In a live gameplay demonstration, an intense race through the rain ended with a devastating crash, which forced the character to sprint away from his wrecked vehicle and through a variety of alleys and buildings. The action looked to be governed by quick-time events (QTEs) which called for immediate button prompts during jumps.
