this is Hot Pursuit 2010, made by peak Criterion (Burnout)
its the best NFS since Most Wanted 2005.
It's simple, focused, super tight and fun. It already felt, 10 years ago, like a throwback to simplier arcade games. I think it would only get better with time within our day and age or bloated open world and useless upgrades game design
Sounds like one of the platform holders has a deal with EA. This should be announced at a future Direct or Inside Xbox.
the last cars and races could really benefit from 60 fps yeah, the game could get very fast
Wonder what they'll do with it. The game still looks really good. It's the last Need For Speed I played a lot too.
It's crazy this game is seen in this way, because at the time of this game it felt like there was a general malaise towards NFS (kind of like there is now, but for different reasons).
This and the following Most Wanted were well received at the time.
I feel it was wildly anticipated after the horrible mess that were pro street, undercover and even shift as it was not what people wanted
Was the last NFS game even my non racing friends had. Auto log was actually a lot of fun constantly going back trying to take down my friends time. I remember that first police chase got down to 10ths of seconds to try and beat each other's time. It was a 14 second event and it got really sweaty 😂
Loved it. One of the best in the series.
Not sure about the price though. It is a bit too high but I am open to it.

The simplicity of Hot Pursuit is what was great. They stripped out all the customization and it was largely just about supercars racing around a map. It made the Autolog much more enjoyable compared to games afterwards because of that reason as well. Fastest times came down to how fast you were and how good you were at keeping your nitrous stocked by driving in the opposite lane or getting near misses rather than your car setup.
So let's say the only non-kart racing games I've ever liked are Ridge Racer PSP and Burnout Legends PSP.
This game sounds right up my alley right?
I think there's a good chance you will. The game has a fantastic sense of speed is and while it's not as arcadey as the two games you mention, it leans far more in that direction than more recent "arcade" racers that are more of a hybrid of sim and arcade.
Just wait for the sale price.
On a related note, is this game an arcade racer or more of a sim? Also, is it open world?
It's the last great Arcade racer, fixed tracks you select from a map, but they're all interconnected. There's a free roam mode so you can drive the entire map if you like.
Yeah, I hated how all the frostbite games by Ghost Games tried to imitate the handling but never got it right, the physics always were off in those games, even if the customization and graphics were pretty cool, it doesnt do much when the game around them is mediocre.
I always felt like you are a little bit too glued to the street in Hot Pursuit and crashes never really felt right because of the life bars.
But they rectified those things in their Most Wanted, but that game was really bad with single player content and the limited amount of races per car. Was also kinda closer to a Burnout Paradise 2 with real cars and less car deformation.
The dream to me would still be a remaster of the Undergrounds or the original Most Wanted.
Always liked the handling in those.
They were arcadey, drifts weren't overly arcadey like in Outrun or Daytona, the cars had weight to the and didn't feel glued to the street, but it was absolutely not a simulation type game.
I know no modern game with similar driving feel, but theres lots of arcade racer revivals.
Grid or Driveclub don't really come close and are clsoed racetrack racing games.
Forza Horizon is not arcadey enough and I never really liked how much of an advantage allwheel drive cars have over the others in their, in stability and power.
They will probably do the Most Wnated reboot after this next because it's less work.
But I can't see them forget about the best selling game in the series, especially because Most Wante 2005 is so beloved, it's just older so it would need a greater graphical touchup.
Also I don't know what they'd with the FMVs in that game, do they still have higher res masters than the 360 ones? Or would they just upscale?
