Do you mean the first NFS release that is not released on all platforms simultaneously?

Only because I see that it is soon to be released on PC:

Enjoyed the demo on ps3 but definitely a bargain bin buy for me as it was not that much better then many other driving games out there today.

In fact, the Mad Men star has had her bust size reduced or anything, as if EA is trying to make a statement about the maturity of The Run just through it's representation of it's cast.

Hot Pursuit was dreadful, with no redeeming features. I hope this game is better, although thats not asking much.

Hot Pursuit was just a Burnout game essentially..

Multiplayer is the only interesting part about racing-games and the only thing that counts in multiplayer is physics (as realistic as possible, with damage-model), tuning-options (ride-height, wings, dampeners, shocks, etc.) and good graphics (especially the environment falls short most of the time) with design-options for your cars (colours, stickers, etc).

I'd wish for a mix with the physics of GT5 (or even better GTR-series), the cars of NFS Most Wanted and the graphics of Dirt3 (PC DX11 @ max settings). Then add some nicely detailed racetracks (variety is key!), some free roads to make your own races (like in Underground with the instant challenges) for some more multiplayerfun and we're done.

To be honest, I've really been disapointed with the latest NFS games I bought (hot pursuit 2010, shift).

I'd like to see a game like GP legend with Dirt3 graphics :D

The game series has suffered since the moment they strayed from street racing to circuit. Pro Street has to be the most disappointing bunch of ass I've ever had the misfortune to play - as far as a racer is concerned. And Hot Pursuit would have been fun back in the 1990's on an arcade, but we have moved on since then.

Series has got a lot to prove before I will touch it again.

Shift 2 is brilliant. It takes a little investment of time and some tinkering, but absolutkey worth it. Effing brilliant racing experiance.

Apart from that most of them have been toilet since underground 2

YES! I saw this for the first time on Amazon today, and then saw that one of the pre-order SE cars was an R32...I was like "damn, I really hope bit-tech does a preview for this before I preorder!"

And, and ye shall deliver. Same day, even. Thank you. Just knowing that it's not going be like Shi*t or that last garbage Hot Pursuit--or really anything in the series since NSFU:2--gives me enough confidence to shell out the $50.

On a related note, it seems like they are slowly but surely trying to bring the old--like, PS2 old--feel of Hot Pursuit back around. That makes me happy.

The "new" Hot Pursuit was so-so. The idea is unoriginal since I have also played and enjoyed the 1st Hot Pursuit. They just made it more complicated.

Shift was too serious relative to its other cousins. it does give a realistic flavour to the franchise, however I'm not looking for a racing sim in a NFS game.

Carbon was not worth it, Pro Street was terrible and why should I even talk about Undercover? It is true that NFS haven't been able to capture the enjoyment aspect and follow Hollywood fads however I am always optimistic that it would eventually (hopefully) pan out.

I've been so disapointed with the NFS line for a while now, and after reading a part of the Preview - there is NO WAY im buying any NFS for a long while, if ever.

The new Hot Pursuit seemed ok, I just couldn't stand the handling. After an hour I never played out again.

I wish they'd just remake NFS 3 and Porsche with latest graphics. Would be 2 instant buys from me

original Hot Pursuits, Most Wanted are my best BFS games. luckily this game is also developed by EA Blackbox, who did Hot Pursuit 2 and Most Wanted, so this game should be awesome!
GuilleAcoustic 10th November 2011, 09:32 Quote
I liked the original Hot pursuit a lot more than the 2010 remake. IMHO, the best NFS game was the old test drive series.
