Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit by Criterion

[T0M722]

Being Australian, you should know to add one to the date for just about all releases in America ;)

 

Well yeah lol. Silly me. I thought it was the UK so I thought the demo must've been up by now.

[hpluls]

I'm so pathetic I've just set up a US PSN account so that I could get the demo today... only to find out it's not there yet. >.<

[superhyper]

My Xbox is currently downloading it :cheeky: (but its gonna take ages as its 1,5GB)

[pyrre]

I have already downloaded and played it. :cheeky: Oh and btw you need atleast one person in your friends list who has played the demo so you can play the racer event (once it's fixed so you can actually connect to the damn autolog :rolleyes:)

I found it now and it's currently downloading.

[T0M722]

Currently downloading :nuts:

My honest opinion, I think the game is a perfect mixture of Burnout & Hot Pursuit. The physics are sure for pad gamers, its a fun game for what its mean't to be.

 

How's the game coming out for you guys?

[T0M722]

Just played it and it seems like a lot of fun despite the handling. Trying to beat people's scores on it :) Haha

[t.]

Handling is far too heavy for what I personally want from the game. Seems the "arcade handling sux" crew have got into this. It needs to be stupidly fast and responsive, it's what makes the game so intensely high paced. The fact that the demo cars are so dull probably doesn't help a great deal either. I still have it on pre order though.. which is all EA will care.

I started downloading it from the US PSN before leaving for school, it was at about 11% when I left. Can't wait to get home :D

Trust me, you can wait.

[hpluls]

OK, so I've played it... It's pretty fun, once you get used to the physics. I kept crashing into Nissan Tiida's at first :fp:

Yeah, first I was like "son. i am disappoint." but then I got it. Can't wait for the full game, I did the police race like 5 times in the 370 and couple of times in the Crown Vic. And did the race once in 370, once in Z4 and twice in the boxter :D

[hpluls]

So far, I've done the cop event twice in the Crown Vic and once in the 370Z, and the race twice in the Boxter and once in the Z4.

 

*off to play more*

Thanks for doing us all a favour there :p

[zo6dude]

I like it, but I'll admit I wasn't as impressed as I thought I would be. I'm still gonna buy a copy anyway.

[Prohibit]

They are wearing it out.

[calster17]

I got it yesterday, what do i think?

 

I love it! Its got the feeling of Burnout Paradise(Still Love the game), yet the cars diddent feel as light as Paradise which is a good thing! The Graphices feel like a mix of Paradise but brighter and more refined!

 

The Autolog is good as well, and i totaly agree with a comment one of the guys from Criterion made a little while back, which was somthing like "I dont really care if i'm 10,000th on the scoreboard on CoD, i think beeing top out of all my friends is a much better bragging right!", and i've always felt that myself! I found myself going on every so often last night to see what my friends had done and if i could beat them! Even this morning(although kinda cheating, as there at school and i've got the day off! lol)

 

Also nice for the game to have a little info on the cars, and tell you the name of the colour(Much like the GT games do). I personally found my self picking the Boxter Spyder in Silver(first it was white, but the Silver looks like Bare Silver, like the 550 spyder)

[CarMadMike]

Played the Demo this morning, Not too bad, nothing special either.

[TheElement911]

Is as arcade as it can get, and I had a lot of fun with it!! But hate the nitrous thing to death, completetly unnecessary. Still the fun factor is the most important thing for me and I hate Leaderboards beacuse of people that use a lot of glitches to break records. Autolog is more enjoyable. I'm buying.

[Not Saop]

Frankly, this game is complete garbage. Should be renamed Burnout: Hot Pursuit.

 

I mean come on, in HP2, you actually had to go through corners, not this wussy, Burnout drifting crap.

[Revan174]

Ooh, I just checked the car list (I do at least once a day to see any updates on confirming the GT500 Super Snake :p) and a new car was added for the cops: the 2010 Ford Taurus SHO.

 

Killalldude's gonna freak :D
