BRAND MAP: Need For Speed

Author: GameVision

EA’s veteran racing franchise has suffered fluctuating fortunes since the original game appeared in 1994. In recent years ‘Shift’ has become a sub-brand, and this year has already seen the release of Need For Speed: Shift 2: Unleashed, whilst Need For Speed: The Run is due in November. GameVision’s Brand Maps are based on regular interviews with a panel of over 5,000 consumers in the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain.

The reports provide a unique insight into current attitudes to brands – as well as historical context and trends. They examine consumer awareness, patterns of play, qualitative assessment, audience demographics and more.

Broken down into a series of graphs and charts, the Brand Maps also disclose how consumers hear about brands and what they like/dislike about them.

Game Vision has created Brand Maps for around 150 of the games industry’s leading franchises, all of which are updated every six months. 20 of them are now available directly from mcvuk.com for £480 (inc VAT).
