Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2010


Recommended Posts

Saw it at a friends PC today, better than I expected I must say but felt like the games name should be NFS: Burnout Lite :p

I understand what you're saying, but the cops vs racers thing has a strong history in NFS that wouldn't have made much sense as a Burnout game.

All I know is: if it's from Criterion I'm buying it.

I know that much randomevent but hadn't Paradise had "Cops and Robbers"? I never actually played that DLC so I wouldn't know how it compares :pinch:

And WastedJoker, my friend and I came to pretty much the same conclusion :p

Yes; they do (especially in jurisdictions where the officers/deputies take their cruisers home).

In fact, in most states, nitrous itself is not illegal for use on street vehicles - the bugbear is impact on emission standards (which no street-legal vehicle gets a pass at violating, including the police).

Maryland - except for the city of Baltimore, most local municipalities, and all counties, as well as the state's own public-safety agencies, have a "take-home" policy regarding police vehicles. (Amusingly, Prince George's County, MD has a "take-home" policy regarding most automobile-type official vehicles; the exception is - surprisingly - vehicles assigned to the County Council, due to recent abuses and a string of DUIs involving members of the Council; the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission changed to a similar policy, for a similar reason.)

Well in Florida they sure don't, they are the slowest cars I've seen and if your going fast enough they wont even chase you...

My only issue is that the feel of the drive is poor. burnout Paradise felt like you were more connected to the road.

Also agreed. It really doesn't feel like you're going very fast unless you're using nitrous or boost.

When you crash and have to start from a dead stop... UHG! It's so frustrating how it feels like it's taking forever to speed up.

agree. The cars feel like trucks :D but apart from that game is amazing.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed this... Honestly it's the reason why I'm steering clear (heh heh... steer...) of this game until it becomes a little more realistic in pricing. Besides, I just got Forza 3. That should tide me over for a while.

Dunno tbh Im not a fan. Played the game thru a bit now and its not for me i dont think. Still feels like a naff arcade racer with very little compelling me to play on. Cornering is little more than a drift showcase and whilst the Nitro and use of short cuts helps to make you want to shift a few seconds of your attempts I just dont feel theres anything special here.

Yeh its a great NFS game and probs the best in a good wee while, but I still feel like its lost its edge and that theres better games out there, such as Burnout or even the under rated Blur. Maybe its me and i just cant help escape the fact that I still feel NFS has had its day and nothing short of a complete re-hash from the ground up is gonna re-vitalize.

Also what happened to the tuning etc?

I would give this game a 6/10. Its not worth giving this more and I'm surprised to see those great reviews. I also wouldn't recommend this title to anyone because there are much better titles compared to this.

The main reasons why I don't like this game.

  • Nothing new and no storyline.
  • Feels like burnout to me, no wonder its by criterion
  • Driving cars feels so uneasy and its like driving a truck
  • Game intro is huge and annoying and is also difficult to skip
  • This game needs an adblock plus bigtime :D because every time I unlock something the game has movies /cut scenes which cant be skipped. The game stutters as well even though i have a decent specs for my comp

Played the game, and while it's not bad i'm more of a fan of the open world driving games. I really hope Criterion releases a new Burnout soon, loved Paradise. I'll wait for a price drop before picking this up.

Also: Does anyone feel like it was ported to PC from consoles? There are no options to change graphics qualities that i can find, and it overall feels like a console game.

for me, if arcade, then it was nfs hp2, MW the best

in those games, atleast there was some weight to the car & there was no compulsory "drift in corners" physics.

i think criterion copied DiRT2's corner concept - drift mode at every turn/corner :p

no standing start

worse rubberband AI than MW.

tank like AI cars

no championship type races

this game kind of gets boring after a while.

I know that much randomevent but hadn't Paradise had "Cops and Robbers"? I never actually played that DLC so I wouldn't know how it compares :pinch:

And WastedJoker, my friend and I came to pretty much the same conclusion :p

Cops and Robbers was a multiplayer mode. I don't know what all it had as I don't play online usually, but it definately wasn't a full game in and of itself. (I did watch some videos about it.)

As to the comments about it being drift happy, yeah the initial cars tend to be but drifting too much will put a serious dent into your times. I (sadly) am not the best racer so the two people on my friends list are usually stomping on me.

Havent tried being a cop but now i am playing with Hyper series car. Those are totally amazing!

That's awesome man! I'm officially looking forward to it even more now I need to unlock those ASAP. :laugh:

    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
