Another week of sports gaming and news has come and gone. In case you’ve missed any of it, we’ve got you covered with this week’s SGO Inside Drive featuring the official trailer for Need For Speed Heat, news on recent layoffs and more!

SGO Inside Drive 8/22: Need For Speed Heat & more!

Mass Layoffs Strike Game Informer Magazine

On August 20, reports revealed a large sum of Game Informer’s staff had been let go. The layoffs came as a part of GameStop’s, (the magazine’s owner) “reboot initiative” to transform their business. While both sides took a hit, Game Informer lost nearly half of their editorial staff. Up until just yesterday, several members ousted from the Game Informer roster took to Twitter with kind words and their announcement of departure from the company. While I cannot personally relate to the emotions they may be feeling, as a long time and current subscriber of the magazine, I can say it is terrible news and SGO wishes you all the best of luck.

Need For Speed Heat Official Trailer

In Need For Speed Heat, the franchise looks to return to old form in addition to several new experiences. Based on the trailer, Need For Speed Heat will look gorgeous visually. On top of that, the game brings deep customization options not only to the cars, but to the drivers, your avatar, as well.

Seemingly taking a page out of the early Fast and Furious movies, Heat allows players to take part in illicit and sanctioned races to earn rep (heat) and cash. Available races and their legal conditions will vary on time of day. Before you hit the streets of Palm City this November, be sure to grab the NFS Heat Studio app to get an early start on car customizing. Of course, be sure to check out the trailer below.
