Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered Releasing November 6th

[TheDeeGee]

Nah, they should have remaster the 1999's
Need for Speed: High Stakes

That's what i been replaying the past days, it's great fun still, and with some fiddling around works flawless on Windows 10.

The original Hot Pursuit was really great. Hot Pursuit 2 was the last one I cared about, it all became a product placement mess after that.

Does "remaster" include 2020 DRM, anti-tamper and such?

We want the nfs underground series to be remastered!

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

They remaster this PoS game, but not Underground 2?

As someone who is not into racing games, i really enjoyed Hot Pursuit 2010, the game play was so much fun, felt so polished, and i played it for countless hours.

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

I disagree. And so would many others. Some the Block Box released titles were genuinely good and engaging.
If i had to point at a game that finally broke the camel's back so to speak it has to be ProStreet released in 2007. It's predecessor Carbor was already iffy and i did try ProStreet but quickly abandoned it. After that only ones i've played was HP in 2010 (the one being remastered now, completed it) and the 2012's MW reboot that was horrible and i quit after 5 min of frustration.

I have not even played any of the newer ones from the past 8 years.
Tho i agree that i would have like to have seen the 1998 version remastered instead.

There are a lot of games that are good by themselves, but terrible as sequels. Porsche was the last good NFS for me. Then was the terrible console port of HP2 (the amount of bad in this game is astounding and no, the PS2 version isn't much better), but it still kept the spirit of the series. However, when Underground came, riding on the "fast&furious" fame wave, I lost all hope for one of my favourite series to ever come back. It was less "supercars hype" and more "big-titted half-naked chicks (even in winter) + tuning + boost + drift".

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.

What about Most Wanted 2005 and U/U2? Something that would be worth getting.

Truly agree. The best ones of the series without a doubt.

Gotta agree. After HP2, the feel was gone. It went from games that I wanted to play to games that had morphed into something only my kids liked.

I'd hardly call it a PoS as it's one of the most popular and polished games in the series.
I've enjoyed countless hours of fun in Hot Pursuit but this remaster doesn't do anything for me at all.

They should just remake Underground and MW 2005. Then I would love my life more than ever.

VR support would make them more than perfect.

From underground, I remember the Peugeot 206 that could go 0-60 in under 3s. From MW I remember the half-hour long (or longer) repetitive chases. These two alone made me quit the franchise. With no regret.

Whaaaaaat?! I LOVED those hella long chases in MW!

Well, everyone has their own taste, but still..

Yeah, this is where I was going: tastes can be that different.

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.

I can feel u there, I also hated that when you had to be evading cops for a hella long time. To be honest, I didn't even complete that one and an another one which was as annoying, so I had like 97% completion.
