Thanks Faith[ROG].Anarchy, Hybrid_theory & SUPERREDDEVIL for the tips.

 

[Hybrid_theory]

certainly looks nice. I never played the original hot pursuit, is the idea of the game car chases? or are there races as well.

 

[mdsx1950]

I never played the original hot pursuit

Have you played High Stakes? Which was quite similar to NFS3.
This game will be quite similar to NFS Most Wanted but with awesome vehicles for cops.

 

[kenkickr]

I would think it's gonna be alot like Most Wanted(AWESOME and FUN!!!). Dominated by races but after awhile the cops would get involved and escalate as the amount of damage and avoidance increased.

 

[3volvedcombat]

certainly looks nice. I never played the original hot pursuit, is the idea of the game car chases? or are there races as well.

hot pursuit was one of the best need for speed games bar none in the series.
need for speed: hot pursuit 2 for the ps2 was beast. period.

Im not going to tell you much- but your ganna love it, period.

Just imagine racing down a windy city track with huge amounts of shortcuts and then getting caught by the cops in the middle of the race- and do some gta 4 shit to loose them- at the same time getting stamped hard enough for them to send a helicopter as spike strips hit the road and road blocks are created as the helicopter drops counter measures trying to get you to stop, while you slide the corner ready to try to dodge the road block.

all at the same time competing with racers and ranking up in classes and performance of cars.

and all that going on- you need to win the race- its beast

If they make this even better in free world mode- it would be rape. period.

and you have car duels

and a shit load of selection from cars- like 150+ easy. a grand tourismo rival in that aspect.

If they make the game right- its ganna be a def buy. period.

 

[Hybrid_theory]

AH ok cool, so there is races, with cops to interfere. Im good with that. But just cop chases, nuh uh.

I am more of a sim fan, but nfs mw was good fun.

 

[MadClown]

Hopefully its not just Burnout with cops.

 

[TIGR]

If this is anything like a mix between NFSMW on crack and NFS High Stakes with modern graphics and AI, I will love it. In all seriousness, when I'm stressed out and need to relax a bit, nothing does it like a good NFSMW pursuit against the Corvette cops.

This is making me nostalgic.

 

[netieb]

I hope its going to be like hot pursuit 3, man i loved that game. Never played someting better.

 

[mdsx1950]

Hopefully its not just Burnout with cops.

They had mentioned that the game wont be so much arcade-styled as Burnout Paradise.

In all seriousness, when I'm stressed out and need to relax a bit, nothing does it like a good NFSMW pursuit against the Corvette cops.

Though this time it will be Bugattis and Lamborghinis trying to bust your ass. Lol. I don't think you'll be able to relax

[Shou Miko]

w0000000000000000000t are EA trying to bring NFS to their roots

 

[RejZoR]

They were saying about these roots before but they still failed to deliver. I need a good racing game with cops. Seriously.
Screenshots look nice for a start. I mean the woods and no crappy city.

 

[mafia97]

i have played all the nfs games
i grew up playing them (nfs1 was the first game i played)
but lately nfs game have been going in all directions,EA should start different series for different type of games like for shift and prostreet type.
for this game i only demand a pc splitscreen with cop vs racer mode
it can be done on consoles why not on pc

 

[Anarchy0110]

I'm getting fury about the Bugatti Veyron, maximum speed 400+ KPH. WTF ????
Reventon has 350 KPH, Murcielago LP670 SV has 340 KPH, Ford GT has a 330 KPH, McLaren MP4-12C has a 320+ KPH max, don't know the Pagani Zonda Cinque and Koenigsegg CCX top speed but that's kinda imbalance I think

 

[TIGR]

....EA should start different series for different type of games like for shift and prostreet type.

Agreed on all counts.

Are there any PC games that allow split screen play with two sets of controllers? If not that, then at least cop vs racer, and being able to team up as cops or as racers in LAN multiplayer would be fun. A buddy and I were just talking yesterday about how much fun it would be if we could be racers together in a LAN multiplayer police pursuit in a game like NFSMW. I finished the single player "campaign" in NFSMW long ago and now just hop on to run from the police. I think it'd be a blast if you could team up with other racers against the cops in LAN play. You could double up pushing through roadblocks, lead "entourages" of cops into head-on collisions (à la the scene in Pearl Harbor with the P-40s vs the Japs) ... flip it around and be the cops teaming up against racers. Bring some real strategy, teamwork, and a whole new level of fun to NFS.

 

[Anarchy0110]

Why don't we do both guys?? Splitscreen with a friend and then invite others to a LAN party
Then go out online with other racers in the world

 

[TIGR]

Sounds good to me.

 

[mdsx1950]

Yep. Blur has splitscreen.


EDIT: Added three more screenshots that i forgot to add in.

 

[wahdangun]

wow, is this REAL, i love NFS:HP, really really love it.

so what is minimum hardware spec for this baby, and when it will hit store, i can't wait it


btw where are the Ferrari ? why NFS never have Ferrari, it will be interesting to see lambo VS Ferrari

 

[RejZoR]

That's just not true. There were ALWAYS Ferrari's available. Until the series started going downwards with all the crappy japs, tuning and all the useless bling.

TNFS - Ferrari Testarossa
NFS2 - Ferrari F40
NFS3 - Ferrari 355 Spyder
NFS4 - Ferrari F360 Modena, Ferrari F50 Barchetta
NFS5 - All Porsche's, so obviously no Ferrari
NFS HP2 - Ferrari F50, Ferrari 550 Barchetta, Ferrari 360 Spider
NFS Underground - All rice
NFS Underground 2 - All rice
NFS Most Wanted - None
NFS Carbon - None
NFS Pro Street - None
NFS Undercover - None
NFS Shift - None

The series started as a racing game where you could drive super exotics that most of us could only dream of. High end exotics, supercars, prototypes etc. And all turned into tuned japs thing.
As much as this turns up some, it's not the point of the game. I could drive VW Golf or a damn Toyota anytime. But how many of you could even see Italdesign Schigera or Italdesign Cala in real life? Let alone drive one. Or the legendary Lamborghini Countach, Diablo or insane Mercedes CLK-GTR? Ferrari F360 or Ferrari Enzo? Koengisegg CCX? Bugatti Veyron? These are the cars that are the whole point of the NFS franchise. Sport cars. Not some tuned casual cars stuff that's totally boring. Sure i like Mitsubishi Lancer Evo as well but comparing it to the super sports cars, it's just another class which should have it's own game. Like Underground series. But leave the "original" NFS as it is and don't ruin it with stupid tuned cars.

 

[wahdangun]

ups sorry, im forget that, i'm just remember the feeling of high stakes racing across canyon and village, and i love when we can explore the car in the inside,

shame i don't have NFS:HP anymore, its lost when flood came to my house in 2005 (and my other collection of games too)

 

[Anarchy0110]

I NEED A FERRARI

 

[Meizuman]

Things a new NFS needs to be a real classic: (IMO)

-Cars from 70's - 80's - 90's. Powerful and tunable, for example I want the first two VW GTI golfs, some old BMW's, Opel Manta and the likes. Not just American Muscle. And the super cars of course.
-Same style pursuits as in NFSMW, where you could clearly see when the police cars were about to wreck. In Undercover they just stopped running and turned to concrete (not moving a bit after wrecking if you hit them).
-NO horrendous generic (same in three or more games in a row) bodykits that look like... :bananas:
-Same style interior view as in SHIFT, this is a must, as the old NFS:s had interior view.
-I would also want to see switchable/adjustable simulation/arcade setting. I would like to have the car to act realistic but smash up police cars without a fear of totaling it.
-Also would be nice to have those "bring the car in one piece to a far away location" missions.
-The car demo videos... those were the goodness. And full specs for cars.
-Motor swaps would be over the top. Dreaming on...
-Whats more.. Oh, WHEATER CONDITIONS. Plus a bit of black ice on the top of a snowy hill.

Still dreaming.

 

[TIGR]

Things a new NFS needs to be a real classic....

That sounds excellent.

Add LAN/split screen multiplayer police chases to your suggestions and some others in the thread and it'd be a hell of a game.
