Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit by Criterion

[Rai06]

Anyone know any info about this supposedly "blow your mind away" game? The guys at Criterion are being awfully secretive, but I'm pretty sure they'll see TDU 2 as a huge competitor, and are not giving away details about the game, so they don't "lose" their "edge"...

Anyway, any chance of you buying the game, if/when it's out? I'll most prolly wait for a month or two, since NFS has failed to deliver it's promises ever since Porsche (said this once but it bothers me)..and it'll be safe to see if they make any working multiplayer servers for this, which don't kick you out when it wants to.

No info yet, but there's a countdown timer at their site... about 6 hours to go.

Anyway definitely interested in it. NFS' from Most Wanted to Undercover were really bad (Shift was pretty awesome), but I liked the Burnout series from Criterion and hoping this will be at the same level.

It's a new Hot Pursuit, I saw an image of the old Hot Pursuit logo with Race next to it earlier this week.

I am following NFS Series from HP2.This could be huge fail,or epic win.Whatever it is,I'll buy it.One is sure,car list will be awesome.

[Rai06]

Didn't hear about the snippet you posted Diablo.. Looks nice.

 

@StigSRB True that. HP2 had one of the most awesome car lists for games at that time. McLaren F1 LM with the ordinary one..kewl. Looks like I could be wrong about NFS after all. Granted I was unfair after playing Carbon but meh. Shift helped put NFS bacl on the map a bit..this could work out after all. Just hope it's not like Burnout paradise, I've had enough of wreaking havoc with cars.

[TimBud]

I hope they do take some cues from the burnout games.

Paradise was awesome, especially the multiplayer which was huge... the NFS franchise could do well from the Criterion Elite.

 

Having said that, I do wish Cirterion hadn't sold out and would just produce the next burnout. :)

I'm currently praying it's Burnout Paradise 2. Original game, DLC, new reworked Paradise City, clever new game modes, sweet new cars and job done!

[Narwhal]

I want it to be NFS unplugged.HP2 was last true NFS,without orange 350Z with 52 different vinyls on it.Huge car choice (stock ofc),could be real world track.Something like GT just on PC.

I remember that HP2 had and still have E39 M5,and Z8.And Ferrari is present with F50,550 or 575,Idk,and 360 spyder.Mercedes with CL,and CLK GTR.And there was Diablo,Murcielago,CGT Concept,996 Turbo.That kind of cars NFS needs,not some FWD Scion tC.I hope they won't ruin this small amount of trust that players gave them while playing SHIFT.I don't want crashes like Burnout,because that's not NFS.

Well i want the new NFS to be an HP2 car style, with MW pursuit style and Shift racing style.

[Leadfoot[YT]]

Jeez, when'll it be tomorrow? Final day of school was/is today (which I have to go back to, waa :( ), and E3 starts tomorrow.

 

Guess we'd better hurry up and wait. :cheeky:

Perfectly summarized. Those are definatly the best elements from the entire NFS series, and if they were all combined into one game, it would be one heck of a game!

This sucks this nfs will be console exclusive...

From the criterion games website:

This week, we’re announcing our Need for Speed game for Xbox 360® and PlayStation®3

just becuse of nfs world is exvlusive for pc wich is rubbish.

Nah, It's because of Criterion. Burnout Paradise was the same, although that came out on PC... a year later. :(

[EmKill]

It's make me very angry :mad:

[carlos_69]

yeah but it will be anoying to have people saying "Oh i've completed this nfs ages ago" wile you are playing and then they say "After this race ypu will win the Pagani" that really anoys me.

[EmKill]

This is EA and for this reason i think it never be on PC

[Narwhal]

EA failed again.As usual.

[carlos_69]

yeah if it wil be like "Black","BattleField Bad Company" and others.

But i think that they will relese for the pc to just becuse of the profit, don't forget TDU2 will be released before the NFs so TDU2 will be a great competitor.

All i can say to EA is "You made an EPIC FAIL" and to the console players "Have fun".

[Eudemon]

Looking impressive I got to say, will be watching it for sure.

[T3hReaper91]

Holy crap that looks good. Yes obviously arcadey but back to the original NFS hopefully which was the best.

[t.]

Excellent!! I played the *ahem* out of Hot Pursuit 2 on my PS2 so I'll keep an eye on this.

[MrSeriousCat]

BLAH. I was happy till I saw X360 and PS3 and remembered about Burnout Paradise.

 

I'm hoping it becomes available to PC gamers as well by the time the game is released on consoles :p

[Rai06]

Highly coloured, abd it looks good. Seems to remind me of a track from HP tbf. I just hope this won't have a wacked up story line like Undercover, if it has one at all.

 

 

Edit : The way some fanboys talk about NFS on some forums, you'd think that NFS was the only game on the planet. Makes me mad, that they've never even heard of TD.

[Who]

This looks surprisingly good, knowing that it's Hot Pursuit, I don't mind the Veyron being a police car... because honestly, when has Hot Pursuit cared about realism? Over the top craziness is what the game is built on, and if helicopters are allowed to drop bombs at speeding motorists, then the Police can have one of the most expensive cars in recent history as a cruiser!
