This EA trailer for NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered is one of my all time favourites, expertly put together, sending an arrow directly on target...5:10.
The featured race is Hotting Up which can be found at Rockingham Point and it's the most frantic race of the entire game. I tried it several times last night, got busted or destroyed my car five or six times and when I did eventually finish, my time was a hopeless 5:40.
I challenge anyone to beat 5:10 - video evidence required

@Splinterdog I'm installing it now. I'll give it shot tonight, if cloud saves are enabled for it, I should be at end game.

EDIT: I just checked out of curiosity, I have done it in the past in 5:41:28 driving a Zonda Cinque NFS. Says I have 2 attempts. Improving 30+ seconds seems.. unlikely. :laugh:

I have the original Origin version which doesn't have cloud saves and I also have the remastered version on Steam which doesn't use its own cloud save system, but Origin does. Weird.

I've done ten runs on Hotting Up and my best so far is 5:59 :eek:

Didn't you manage a 5:40? Also, I play with a controller, which makes it way easier, imo.

You're right, Steam doesn't have cloud saves for Hot Pursuit. But games typically write their saves in the Documents folder and I have that backed up on OneDrive. So in a way, I have my very own cloud saves.

Battlefield 1 and Half Life 2 in between exam study I can squeeze in. No screenshot.

Yakuza 5 and original NFS Most Wanted unofficial remaster (mod collection).

P4-630 · Sep 13, 2021

Back in 2005 Need For Speed Most Wanted was on one of my favorites, then in 2007 came NFS Pro Street, you can't buy these games anymore.

I agree, MW is among my favorites along with High Stakes since it was my first NFS experience.

Ive been having fun beating the cheaters on COD WarZone

Enjoying Trumbull Valley on the Homecoming addition to State of Decay 2. It's been great going to all the locations and actually having memories IRL of what I did in some of those places in the original SoD in back 2015. The addition of actual story-like missions with some of the original inhabitants like Ray Santos and Mickey Wilkerson as well as newer longtime residents like Tressie Huerta and Iszbee has been pretty cool. Huge story scripting bugs, though which took alot of effort to work through with some helpful users on Steam. If anyone wants to know how to get through it and have the connected stories work, PM me and I'll be happy to help. If you haven't gotten into it yet, then wait for the patch. They are working on it.

In the meantime, a look down on part of Spenser's Mill in Trumbull Valley (the town where your first base, the church was in SoD1).

That's why I have an XP PC, a Vista Business 64bit PC and a Windows 7 PC. I know everyone can't do that with families and stuff.
It's the FUN part of being retired. You have to do something for fun! I also have about 80 games in the box or on CD/DVD discs.

Currently fighting my way back through Far Cry 1. Messed up the Pic. :banghead:

I thought it was 5:40, but no.
I'm using a keyboard which isn't perfect, but it works.

That is a lie. Have you tried installing it? Run the installer in XP SP2 compatibility mode and then the same for the game itself. It should run just fine. Make sure you download and install DirectX9c before trying that though.

Cat Interstellar is a very short space adventure set on Mars and I picked it up for $0.14. It's now running on the Unreal Engine 5, has a CineCam for screenshots and it does look absolutely stunning.

CAT Interstellar: Recast on Steam

A short story inspired by Robert Heinlein's:The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress. The first iteration in a fight for Android freedom.

Can concur. Running it on W10 atm but I'm using a mod pack (redux) due to MW not supporting modern resolutions. the improved graphics are a nice addition too

I miss TRAoD. Maybe oneday these guys will finish this project and it'll be playable.

Oh sweet summer child! You must not have experienced the cinematic masterpiece that is the original NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 trailer.

There's also the live action genius Europeans got:
