Need For Speed Hot Pursuit Thread

[RejZoR]

Until they get rid of the fuckin action camera i'm not playing this game again. Out of 20 tries in one of the later races, 5 were semi playable. In other 15 cases i crashed, grinded a railing or something else equaly idiotic because i couldn't see where the fuck i was driving because the camera had to show some stupid interceptor police car. You could disable this crap in Burnout 3, 6 years ago on a freakin console, but you can't do it on a PC in 2010. Facepalm. Criterion, what the f were you thinking. Nothing apparently...

Why ppl never understand that this is NOT a simulation. If you're a simulation freak, play Shift or wait till spring 2011 when NFS Shift 2 Unleashed arrives. That's the only thing i can say to you. Leave the good old fun racing games to the masses. It's nothing wrong if the game is not real. Usually games that aren't realistic have higher fun factor than realistic ones.
The similarity with burnout is very high, especially since developer is the same, but weren't we, the PC users crying for a Burnout game on a PC that's not a Burnout Paradise?
It's not called Burnout and the initial experience was a bit crappy but once you play the game deeper, add some friends to the Auto Log it becomes really fun. Not all cars drive like boats, in fact some are damn responsive (my current favorite is Alfa Romeo 8c Competizione which is responsive like a humming bird). And also i've had 2 incredible races today. One against cops where i thrashed 3 of them and made 2 takedowns on racers. The second one was a regular race where we were racing neck to neck all the way to the finish line, constantly knocking each other, overtaking on corner drifts and experiencing some of the best traffic crashes ever in any game. We were drifting a long 180° U turn in parallel when the 2 cars in front of me crashed badly, flew into the air and i've driven underneath them when they were in mid air. Something you usually only see in Hollywood movies. I was like ooooooooooomfg.

well i like so many cars that i can't decide whats my favorite. but i do know the ones that i HATE. i do know the one the drives like the biggest boat of the universe (its fast though) porsche panmera OMG what a bad car. even the bentley is 100* better ffs. and you wouldnt expect that. actually the bentley is an awesome car in this game.

yep that action cam is a bit annoying but sometimes it even helped me. sometimes it just put me back on the track. but it doesnt annoy me that much.

action camera is good feature for me.i like it.And dont see any disatvantages in it.

 

[Jaffakeik]

yeah, i cannot play. my i7 system ctds on load. only game i have issue with out of hundreds... setting affinity to 2 cores instead of 4 got it to launch once last night, but it crashed after minutes and now won't launch again.

sitting at a cool 34c CPU & 48c GPUs... no oc.... no game play

I had no crash since run game first time on my rig.

You'll start to hate it, just wait. It was fine the first couple of wanted levels but now it's a real pain in the ass.

Fella I dunno how old you are but my actual name was come up with in the very first NFS(your name used to go on the license plate of your car)
So I am no newb to the series at all but this is just reskinned Burnout and a poor one at that... I play with a G25 and even with a low rotation it has the same crappy "drive like a bus" deadzone burnout had with a wheel(I have it on PS3) the fact that there is not even a choice to have manual transmission is ridiculous and sinks this NFS to the ultimate LOWEST of arcade racing and an all time new low for NFS...

Rain is something that was visualized in NFS3, around 14 years ago (and it looks good even today). Yea, i'd expect to see the rain if i can hear it falling...

 

[Zenith]

I like the fact the developers incoporated snowy track after almost ten years of shitty city races in NFS series. I remember snowy tracks in Porsche Unleashed, don't remember them in NFS:HP2.
Bad thing is automatic transmission, even first NFS games have had this feature. Game reminds me of Burnout Paradise with bad engine sounds and nonsense action cameras.

 

[RejZoR]

Actually i miss the cities a bit, because to be honest, apart from the rich homes near the lake, there aren't any houses or even villages, let alone city. I wouldn't mind a few smaller urban areas here and there. Maybe smaller villages, one larger futuristic city near the ocean (Atlantica/Aquatica from NFS3 comes to mind) etc. Map and tracks are well designed but they again lack diversity, a bit more "insane" imagination etc. The game is obviously not realistic, so why not make it more interesting. Nothing beats a good racing through the open countryside and then finishing in a downtown or just pass through one. I also miss more mountain peak tunnels on the edge of the cliff that you can see from the side, climbing into the heghts (The Sumnit track or Snowy Ridge from NFS4). Anyway, they made a good job but they could make it even better.

 

[Kisokese]

just went to the offical site and saw they added some new cars with some new screens... looks pretty good!

well there is a mountain part but its not large. it's north-east of the map. it sure does have some nasty curves. but at all the other stuff u just said. your 100% right. i also wanted a city area. that would just be awesome. even if it just was a city like the one of hp2 at those tropical circuits (the one with the golden gate - ish bridge). and villages like the ones of calypso coast.

well, maybe they will add it as i can recall that criterion made a whole new island for Burnout Paradise...

and why is this guy above me banned? he just has 1 post.

 

[CDdude55]

I just bought the game for PC and so far im enjoying it.

 

[Batou1986]

The action camera generally works well but i experienced some weird stuff with it such as coming back to my car going straight into the wall of a turn.
A few other times it warped me 5 seconds ahead of the rest of the racers.

 

[mdsx1950]

Been playing this game alot. Absolutely love it!

Drifting rocks!
Wish there was AA but the game is still awesome.

 

[Stephen.]

I Have Finished all the Police Events and unlocked all the police cars, Even credits rolled up, now i'm only left with Races for racers, i'm like 47% done with the game

There is AA. Use 10.10e Hotfix and force AA with Wide Tent. With that it works pretty well but it does give the effect of softening the entire image. The game still looks great but it almost looks the same as if you added soft shadows and heavy bloom.

10.11 crashes the game when it tries to load a map.

I wouldnt have any complaints but 10.10e and BC2 dont work properly with crossfire and 10.5a (my failsafe BC2 driver) doesnt like AA in Hot Pursuit. So I'm stuck switching between the drivers when I change games.

Friend how to change the brightness monitors for Need For Speed new.I try over graphics cards, but even so can't.I don't know how directly in the game to change.Please help me.Thanks

I don't think there is a control for brightness. I believe there is an option for gamma but that's it. The game assumes you will adjust your monitor to suit the game.

Thank you! Will give it a go. Luckily i didn't update to 10.11.

 

[RejZoR]

Forget wide tent/narrow tent filters as they make image blurry. Use Morphological AA and you're done.

 

[cdanijel]

tnx

thanks RejZor....I have Nvidia graphic card gtx 240....can you little more explane how to brightnes game....thank you man!!!

I have been fighting since purchase to get this game to work. uninstall drivers, game, antivirus. turned off firewall, tweaked settings & affinity, no go. I cannot play this game on my uber leet rig

and their latest response:
"try running in compatibility and as administrator. let us know if still have any problems!"

though i told them in the initial chat that was my first try! i am just so frustrated i don't even bother to try and play anymore, 2 days of EA's customer support turned me off of it

and someone on steam posted that they asked what the big deal was (theirs worked fine) and ea's rep said the vast majority of those crashing are pirates. SCREW YOU EA!
