At least in these Need for Speed: Undercover screenshots anyway. Not content with the nice changes they made to the game in ProStreet, EA have given the game a lick of brown and yellow to ensure that you cannot possibly miss that shiny BMW M6. That is unless you deliberately paint your 911 brown.

Aside from launching some mundane new iPod models today, Apple also gave gamers a treat with a first look at Need for Speed Undercover running on iPhone and iPod touch. The game is going to deal with the same story-driven gameplay as the console and PC versions but it’s all shrunk down into a game which looks remarkably impressive for something running on a mobile phone. The real car models made the cut.

Jobs followed up the performance with words which he may live to regret. He declared iPod touch to be “the best portable device for games”. Check out the images of NFS below:

EA just announced its final line up for Games Convention, which begins tomorrow in Leipzig, Germany. Among the list was word that the next iteration of Need for Speed, subtitled Undercover, will be shown. There’s nothing more specific than that but with this being the most important public gaming event of the year you can bet that they’ll want to get the game into players hands and see what they think.

EA broke with recent tradition last year with Need for Speed: Prostreet, its circuit based, partially story-driven racer. However, it seems that departure isn’t going to last and the brand new teaser trailer for the next game in the series, Undercover, seems to promise a return to dimly lit city streets.
