Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2010


Recommended Posts

this is by far the toughest NFS....

i cant get gold in many races..

and that last race???.. its the toughest because the damage takes over after u crash like 3 4 times.

but overall i really like the gameplay.

its more like shift. but to be honest. It is alot better.

But i wouldve loved something like GRID.. you had to do alot more in Grid.. like BRAKE.. actually BRAKE before a turn..

but i guess the MW and Carbon fans are happy. they got what they wanted.

GRiD is an unabashed sim (in the F1 scheme). NFS: Shift is the closest thing to a sim among the NFS titles; however, Shift is *not* a sim.

True; with GRiD you definitely have to actually use the brakes; however, that makes drifting around corners close to requiring sorcery to do (as opposed to being able to almost steer-with-the-gas around turns, which *is* actually used in ALMS and SCCA racing, not to mention test-track runs; where do you think the term *torque steer* comes from?) However, Shift, HP2010, Burnout Paradise (and even Split/Second and BLUR, come to think of it) all support the torque-steer method (which is indeed popular, and is a requirement in drift racing); however, you don't see F1 and IndyCar (or NASCAR for that matter) drivers doing the drift (aka the four-wheel cha-cha-cha) in their respective series.

Also, an unabashed sim generally *requires* a racing wheel (and most have what I suspect are deliberately awful keyboard mappings; GRiD in particular is the worst offender to date). Further, for that same reason, sims don't do portables (such as the current crop of gaming-ready notebooks).

While Shift and HP2010 require a pretty hefty (in the GPU department) notebook or laptop, because you can actually use the keyboard, you won't make a donkey out of yourself playing on one.

Yes; I agree that the MW and Carbon fans will be happy; however, fans of NFS: Shift should be pretty stoked, too.

nice game :D

handling = NFS MW with little less grip

or orig HP + loose grip

nice performance on a 2007 laptop with m8600gs & c2d @2Ghz :D

btw, drifting isnt that much fun, game does the counter steer, while it should have been left for us to do the counter steer :crazy:

should have added BMW M5 in car list :(

The Veyron during the rain storm race was the most impressive, It was awesome drifting at 200mph around a sharp corner. But the game is tuff. But I beat Racer career with all gold. Working on Cop career now.

how did u beat all the time trials?

its really tough for me :(

anyhow

there is a big problem with the game.

when an opponent crashes during a race and u pass him by, he will regenerate behind you and will speed up almost instantly and catch you. This is unfair. If he crashes he should get the same 3 second delay we get.

restarting a race is as same as loading from menu-to-race :crazy:

but exiting a race doesnt even take 2 seconds :p

dont like the TANK like AI cars.

Pagani, McLaren & RS3 race are very difficult in Xbox 360 controller, but my friend (teracore) completed them with Keyboard :o

gonna try keyboard for it

I don't know why people are complaining that it runs crappy, it runs perfectly fine (I even have my i7 860 to stock speed, no turbo at the moment)

The one thing I hate about this game is handling, especially when you make turns. Every corner, you are practically forced to drift, it's ridiculous. Other than that, it seems decent for the 30 mins I have played so far.

I also can't wait for Shift 2! Loved the first one.

You just gotta keep your speed to atleast 70% from your max speed. Take the good shortcuts and drift well. I can screenshot my status if anybody wants, or just add me.

I noticed about this game it stresses the GPU to 95% in my laptop. So I was getting crappy FPS when it was overheating. So that could be causing it for other people. (I had to undervolt it, it's a GTX 260M btw.)

There is a thread on EA's official forum that's getting on for 20 pages about how the PC version of the game crashes at car selection/start of the first race screen if you have a Core2Quad CPU: http://forum.needforspeed.com/eaforum/posts/list/3831248.page

Unfortunately, I have also been affected by problem, so I thought it's worth sharing it here :cry:

and there's another reason for me to skip the game, stupid crappy console ports...

No AA

Crappy performance

waiting for a patch or something !

rest is so awesome :DDD

Performance is not crappy. I went over that, AA can be forced via tools like Nvidia Inspector.

I have the same CPU and it crashes.

Odd, it never crashed for me.

What I am getting is a lot of texture flickering/ghosting. I'll be racing down the road and all of a sudden, a bunch of trees and bushes will be flickering all over the road. Anyone else getting that?

    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.
    • As long as i get to play GTA 6 before it ends 😂😂
    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
