NowGamer reports on Criterion's Need For Speed Hot Pursuit showing, outlining the game's new Autolog system
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Paul writes - "EA know a good thing when they see it, and for multiple years November was Need for Speed month. In a break from the usual routine, I'm going to be looking back at two games here, released in 2005 and 2010 respectively. The earlier game is Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which has the distinction of being one of the very best in the franchise. The second game comes from 2010, and is Need for Speed Hot Pursuit; which I'll talk about just as the Remastered version of the game has hit the stores."
I completely adore this game! In fact its probably my favorite racing game. I recently dusted off my xbox 360 to play Most Wanted 2005. Still a great game, though I do not remember there being such horrible performance. Like massive frame-pacing issues. screen tearing, latency. If any game ever truly needed to be remastered, it this one for sure!
A pulled retailer page previously listed a November release date.
I would be excited but NFS is basically dead in the water at this point, a shell of its former self.
Old-school Hot Pursuit 2 is back.. and better than ever! HELL YEAH!!
All we've got to hope for now is that the commentator from Hot Pursuit 2 is back.. You know, that guy who tells you all about a certain car when you highlight it in the vehicle selection screen, Remember?
I loved that, And I know you did too :D
im sad they didn't show anything in the press conference
another trailer would've been good enough for me
In fact, I'm replaying Need for Speed: Shift right now as I type. (It's not all that much fun, I admit-- but I need to play some kind of racing game to keep myself from going insane by playing too much Modern Warfare 2, I suppose).
I love the idea of them bringing back the exciting high speed police chases of days gone by.
I personally don't care too much about going back to re-race tracks that others have beat my times on-- maybe if it's in the spirit of competition amongst close friends-- but that's it.
I'm pretty sure that this game is going to be awesome once it releases. Additional features-- even ones that don't seem particularly exciting to me-- will make the game all that much better.
Keep up the good work Criterion-- we're all counting on you!!!
This should be fun, HP1 was my favourite NFS game
I think Burnout Paradise had this same ticker thing. Every time you started down a street it would start. I mostly just ignored it in paradise
