IGN writes: "It's always funny to travel around the world and arrive in Tokyo, only to play a game developed outside of Japan. I happily did that, however, following EA's press conference at the Tokyo Game Show when I sat down for a multiplayer session with Criterion Games' Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. Although I respect the Need for Speed series, I've never been an avid follower of it -- until now. This is one of the tightest, most exhilarating arcade-style racers I've gotten my hands on, and multiplayer is a total blast".
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.
This game looks great.
That changed when I saw this game in july.
Yeah.. The multiplayer is going to be a ton of fun, I can tell :D
that is what im afraid of,hot pursuit 2 didn't have this,only the cops could do this kind of stuff
that's why im afraid that this game "might" lose it's NFS:Hot pursuit original feel (i say might because i won't judge it until i play it),but hopefully it won't
though other than that,the game is shaping up nicely
