I've never really been a fan of the Need For Speed games...they've just never appealed to me . But this latest one, Hot Pursuit, has me a little excited.

Why? You might be asking yourselves. Well this game is being my by Criterion, who happens to be the creator of my favorite racing series...Burnout. If you've never played a Burnout game before, then you're really missing out on some of the best racing games ever. They usually shoot for an arcade racer and the focus is on speed and to forcing your opponent(s) into spectacular crashes. And that is pretty much what this games looks to be about.

Trailer Below:

Oh...and the demo is out today.
 
Hmm, it would seem Need for Speed is reviving one of their older game titles lol. I still have my 1998 copy of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit III lol that ran on windows 95/98 and required Directx 5.0 as well as 90MB of free space for the game (the requirements of old games make me lol and also makes my computer seem less fail) :P
 
I still am not sure bout this. I remember the last N4S game that I played was prob the 2nd or 3rd game (its been so many years). The rest of em after that were junk, but now that Criterion is working on this 1, im gonna d/l the demo on my PS3 (just a shame there isnt a demo available for the pc) & try it out.

Speaking of Burnout, Sexy, what would you say is your favorite Burnout game? just curious

Burnout 3...hands down. The game is a freaking masterpiece.
 
All I can say is wow! Cannot wait at all! I played the original HP when i was like 7 and I loved playing as the police cars. It was one of the best games ever made for me! I really want to play it so bad. Heck, if this one doesnt turn out the way i wanted im just going to play the old one it was so cool!
 
The game looks amazing. I can't wait... also, the car list for the game is very impressive, many cars on there that will appeal :)
 
im a fan of SOME of the need for speed games...basically all the early and hot pursuit ones. (hot pursuit 2 being one of the best racing games out there) so i am interested in this. awesome stuff.
i just generally dislike racing games for the computer because steering with the keyboard is TERRIBLE.

no demo on the PC? why in the hell are all these new games SCREWING pc users? holy cow

The demo was fun. Think I'm going to have to get it when it's out. ^_^
 
Was anyone able to play online? Im not sure that the online feature is available in the demo, or am i wrong?
 
Will be checking this out. I loved the original Hot Pursuit and played it in college with my buddy on his PS2 all the time.

In one memorable incident my room-mate was trash talking while watching us play. So we stopped, I handed him the 2nd controller and we did the versus mode. I pulled him over in less then 30 seconds.

He never caught me.
 
No demo for pc? Seriously come on. Already im feeling upset about this game!
 
Darth, I can assure you it's very good. Racing games (in my opinion) have always been better on console, unless you have a steering wheel for your PC.

Yes, i do have a wheel.

I still want to try the demo though.
 
after playin the demo, i wish they would unlock the online feature. would make the demo more enjoyable. after less than a day, im tired of having the demo. the roadsters reborn is only if you have a friend add you. so overall, its somewhat of a waste of a demo. still its free, so no $$ lost.
 
The one thing that will kill this game is if EA server's go down and well there goes the Autoblog and the ability to play online.
