Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered Releasing November 6th
Feel the thrill of the chase and the rush of escape in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, coming to Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC on November 6, and to Nintendo Switch on November 13! Ten years ago, Criterion Games released their critically acclaimed franchise debut Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. It introduced NFS and racing fans to the winding, open roads of Seacrest County, Criterion's renowned feel for breakneck speed and gameplay, and the innovative Autolog system, empowering true social competition between friends.
Ever since, we've heard so many stories about the triumphant moments and heated rivalries Autolog fostered. Some of which run very, very deep. Unleash a savage sense of speed both as an outlaw and a cop in this timeless racing experience updated for today's platforms. Get cross-platform multiplayer and Autolog, enhanced visuals, all main DLC delivered at launch, and much more. It's time to reignite the pursuit.
Race Your Friends with Cross-Platform Multiplayer and Autolog
Bolt down Seacrest County headfirst behind the wheels of the world's hottest high-performance cars, in racing that is socially competitive at its core. Connect with your friends in cross-platform, head-to-head pursuits and races, or get challenges delivered based on their activity for asynchronous competition through the highly dynamic Autolog system.
Autolog is also supported with cross-platform sync, so you can make a mark on your friends' Speedwalls no matter if they're playing on PS4, Xbox One, PC, or Nintendo Switch.
Enjoy Loads of Extra Content and Updates
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered includes all main DLC - the SCPD Rebel Racer Pack, Super Sports Pack, Armed & Dangerous Pack, Lamborghini Untamed Pack, and Porsche Unleashed Pack - delivered at launch, with an extra six hours of gameplay and more than 30 challenges.
We've added brand new achievements, car colors, wraps, reduced hard stops, an updated photo mode and gallery, and multiple quality of life updates, too, to create an even more well-rounded gameplay experience this time around.
Chase and Escape with Weaponized Supercars
It wouldn't be a Hot Pursuit without pushing the world's most desirable supercars to their limits - on both sides of the law. Bust suspects in supercharged cop interceptors enhanced with tactical weaponry, or level the playing field with counterattacks and defensive maneuvers as an elite racer. Strategize to gain an edge over the competition, no matter what side you're on!
A deep and fully-defined single-player career delivers the action of both sides, with a seamlessly linked multiplayer experience across all race modes. Take on friends or play through the career solo to earn Bounty and unlock new cars, weapons, and equipment.
Experience a Timeless Racing Game with Enhanced Visuals
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered has been upgraded for today's generation of hardware with enhanced visuals. The Nintendo Switch version runs at 1080p/30 FPS in docked mode (720p/30 FPS undocked) and includes higher-resolution models, more objects and props, longer draw distance, higher resolution shadows, and improved videos.
Depending on your specifications, 4K/60 FPS is supported on PC, and players can choose between 4K/30 FPS or 1080p/60 FPS on PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X. Base versions of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will run the game at 1080p/30 FPS. In addition to the listed improvements for the Nintendo Switch version, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions are also updated with upressed UI, higher resolution reflections, boosted textures, more particles, and improved AA/SSAO.
Get ready for a heart-pumping and socially competitive racing experience faithfully recreated by Stellar Entertainment, featuring ex-Criterion talent and previously responsible for the critically acclaimed Burnout Paradise Remastered.

Does "remaster" include 2020 DRM, anti-tamper and such?
Oh, I was hoping for a NFS HP2 update. :(
The trailer video was excellent - the first 90 secs at least - then it was in-game, with NOX buttons, machine guns, and other arcade console tat.

There is ONLY ONE NFS > Porsche Unleashed / 2000
This was my last NFS game that i thoroughly enjoyed, every entry after it, especially the ones built on frostbite just felt off ( weird feel of speed and bizarre weighty feeling to the gameplay ) that it never clicked with me.
It is reported that Criterion ( developers of this game and burnout ) will be making the next NFS game so hopefully it lives to the game play of this game at least, Criterion makes awesome racing games
Now that I think of it, it kinda resembles what's going on with RGB in PCs - yeah, it's flashy, edgy, looks... "cool?", but it's not what we ever expected from it - we wanted performance+silence.
I've enjoyed countless hours of fun in Hot Pursuit but this remaster doesn't do anything for me at all.
VR support would make them more than perfect.
Well, everyone has their own taste, but still..
While the chases weren't that bad, it got really boring, really fast when you had to evade a number of helicopters, but you had to run around evading other things for half an hour, just to stir things up enough so helis will start showing up. Plus, I was pretty jaded after the previous two Underground titles.
