Need for Speed Hot Pursuit for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 comes with a weather system, that includes thunderstorms and rain simulation.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.
Best NFS in my personal opinion
Highstakes, Hotpursuit 2 and Underground, Mostwanted, The Run.
Rest of those titles are Junk,Crap, disappointing.
Paul writes - "EA know a good thing when they see it, and for multiple years November was Need for Speed month. In a break from the usual routine, I'm going to be looking back at two games here, released in 2005 and 2010 respectively. The earlier game is Need for Speed: Most Wanted, which has the distinction of being one of the very best in the franchise. The second game comes from 2010, and is Need for Speed Hot Pursuit; which I'll talk about just as the Remastered version of the game has hit the stores."
I completely adore this game! In fact its probably my favorite racing game. I recently dusted off my xbox 360 to play Most Wanted 2005. Still a great game, though I do not remember there being such horrible performance. Like massive frame-pacing issues. screen tearing, latency. If any game ever truly needed to be remastered, it this one for sure!
A pulled retailer page previously listed a November release date.
No NFS released since Hot Pursuit (2010) has came close. The Ghost Games NFS games were just dreadful (to me they were anyway, 2015 was okay I suppose). Would love to replay this and I hope it has an update for next-gen as well.
I loved Most Wanted as well (on PS3, I think it released in 2012). After that, it has gone downhill, but the latest games are slowly coming back up. I loved NFS Heat, but it needs to get better before it comes back to same level as NFS Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted.
Then again, NFS Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted were likely better because they were from Criterion (in fact, those were the last 2 games from criterion in nfs series).
I would be excited but NFS is basically dead in the water at this point, a shell of its former self.
Others may be buying GT5, and I respect that, however personally, I cant wait for this game, its gonna be HELLA fun. I dont like realism in games, which is why I find Gran Turismo games to be boring (again personal opinion, dont hate), however this looks to be an action packed thrill ride arcade racer, which I prefer over sims.
Limited Edit FTW!
I'll be getting it first day, can't wait! I loved Burnout Paradise, so I have high hopes.
You can't say you don't like a certain game around here without the people of a certain defence force gunning down on you.
Always have to treat them with kid gloves or they'll unleash a rage like no other upon your sorry behind.
This even extends to liking a different game more than their chosen game. Eg, I like Forza 3 more than I do any other racing game. This is clearly my opinion, however it will get me disagrees and debubbling, it is ridiculous.
Back on topic, Hot Pursuit was always my favourite NFS, loved that Elnino car they had
Shall be getting both GT5 and NFS:HP both looks brilliant games
Will get both on release, need to takes breaks from the sim now and then and what is more suitable to do it with a arcade racer with cops chasing, i just hope Criterion can magically get back to what made Hot Pursuit such a classic.
