Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit definitely feels like what you might expect from the developers who brought you the Burnout franchise. Not to say that this is a bad thing, in fact, it's quite the opposite. While Hot Pursuit is more about the excitement of the chase, as opposed to straight up destruction, Criterion has done an amazing job of leveraging much of the amazing engine tech that we saw in Burnout Paradise.
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.
