Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit by Criterion

[Eudemon]

I always preferred the NFS III menu music as it was so calming and future showroomy. However now I've just checked it out again NFS II's could be joint top. :D

Mmmmmmmmm memories...

On that note, check out what I got last week:

Got them off eBay because (re)discovering the NFS 2 and 3 music made me all nostalgic... NFS II was the first computer game I ever played (i think i was 6 then), so this holds a special place in my heart

 

edit: what the funk? I resized the pics to 640x480 in my PB but they're still showing up here as 800x600... What the hell's going on?

Awesome! I saw NFS II: SE for sale like last week for like £8-9 which I thought was a bit harsh but you made me want to buy it. :D Even though I probably won't be able to get it working. :p

And they had awesome intro videos

 

Remember - this game was out in 1995 - such an epic game for its time - I still enjoy playing it. It was also the first game I ever played online via a 56k dialup modem.

 

I even remember seeing this intro on TV:

 

 

And Andreaz - if you've got a PC running 32bit Windows, you're in luck:

Ah, remember the days when they had to use real-life footage to promote games? :)

It was either that or use the ingame graphics from 1995 - easy choice there :D

For me the best NFS is NFS Porche Unleached

This one is my first NFS i played so this is my all time favorite

It also has a great OST

Well, yeah, I sort of saw it as a "Look how far we've come, because we can use the game graphics for the intro!" type thing.

Always. Would still play it if I could.

Both of them are brilliant, I love the end of the NFS 4 intro. :nuts: The best games came when they were called Electronic Arts, and not just EA.

Thanks a lot for the link aswell. :D

[carlos_69]

Leadfoot[YT] You can still play it.

I played it in Vista 32 bits and runned great.

[calster17]

Though i'd say, Theres a Video that shows the Porsche Carrera GT in it!

Although we knew it was probs going to be in, just though i'd conferm it!(Although Criterion has been a tad quite on cars lately...but not in the same was as other developers)

[Dinashan]

This game is looking awesome & I am seriously considering getting it.

[Not Saop]

custom soundtrack, and its an automatic DO WANT.

Meaning music made for this game? If so yes, as long as it too goes back to the NFS roots and the electro style songs they used. :D

No, I meant music from the hard drive.

[Andreas¹]

Hmmmm, I'll go with that since I can add songs from the old NFSs then. :p

Demo available on October 26. :excited:

[Rai06]

Active aero again! Woo.

[Leadfoot[YT]]

I'd advise you all listen carefully to the "lyrics" on that song. There's only two separate lines repeated throughout, and they both involve a certain word that rhymes with... oh, never mind. :rolleyes:

[Ryzza5]

I prefer the Soft Cell version :)

 

TDU2 will probably beat NFS at their own game anyway

Demo available on October 26. :excited:

 

W00t! :D Hope it doesn't turn out to be 360 only or something, I want to compare PC and PS3 versions :p

[Ryzza5]

I hope any released DLCs come on all platforms this time, otherwise it'll be the last EA/CG game I buy I think

Considering EA, expect it

[calster17]

Heres the Map, and i dunno about you, but it looks a bit, well small...

 

Anyways, I know this will make some people happy, but heres a shot of the E92 M3...

Only new car to be showen in a pic so far, nothing exciting though.(Bring on the Lotus:cheeky:)

I Can't see why they would't, since there all out on the same day this time. I'm guessing that the PC edtion of Paradise got left out is because it never sold as well as they hoped, or that when the PC edtion came out, the DLC was just beeing released on PS3/360.

[superhyper]

:eek: The map has so little amount of roads! And that is pretending to be 4x the size of Paradise City...
