It’s all a silly nonsense, of course, seeing police officers driving suped-up muscle cars and deploying a number of “weapons” like wheel spikes and EMP bursts.
Frankly, it was genius then and still is now, ramping up the tension and adrenaline each race by either having you chase down a fleeing criminal or escape a doggedly determined cop. Taking place in the fictional Seacrest County, the main hook for this is that, similar to Most Wanted, basic street racing has been replaced in many of the events with high-speed pursuits. It was exactly what the franchise needed – and what the fans needed, too, given the inconsistent performance of the recent NFS releases and the fact that we weren’t likely to get a new Burnout any time soon.Īnd now Criterion is back again, with a remaster of their remake, Hot Pursuit.
#NEED FOR SPEED HOT PURSUIT REMASTERED RELEASE DATE 2020 SERIES#
The steady decline of the Need for Speed franchise was given a boost back in 2010 when Criterion adopted the series and injected a healthy dose of Burnout DNA in their reboot of ‘98’s Hot Pursuit. I’d rather be tearing down a road at breakneck speed, flipping physics the bird as I narrowly dodge oncoming traffic and take out rivals like a 4-wheeled wrecking ball, sans chain. Not being much of a fan of racing simulations, I always found Criterion’s Burnout series to be much more my speed than anything like Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport.
