This new Need for Speed is apparently a complete reboot of the series, which feels like the video game equivalent of rebooting The Fast and the Furious franchise. Finally, this long-running racing series has freed itself from over two decades of convoluted backstory.

It's a new day for Need for Speed, so join Max and Ludwig as they feel the Need and get you up to speed on last week's hottest stories.
