I haven't played this in a while. Might need to jump back on it...

Did they ever give the PS3 version Logitech wheel compatibility?

Boody-Bandit5182d ago

A friend of mine told me that he heard in a recent update HP now includes wheel support but I can't find any info online about that update.

I initially rented NFS:HP from Gamefly because it lacked wheel support. I couldn't get ito it with a controller so I sent it back 2 days later.

So I am trying to find out if wheel support is now confirmed. If it is I am going to pick up NFS:HP.

monkpunk15182d ago

I can confirm logitech wheels work... but alas dont expect gt5 responsivness, bit sluggish and you end up fighting the wheel all the time. oh and it has only manual transmission... i cant really recommend this game for wheel use i'm afraid. oh and dont buy used as you have to pay to unlock online. i was really disappointed with nfs hot pursuit.

But shift on the other hand is great with the wheel and shift 2 has potential to be really good i would wait for that next month.

Looking Back to Two of Need for Speed's Best Games - Most Wanted and Hot Pursuit

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."

Hotpursuit 2 was good as well.

The-Matrix-has-you516d ago (Edited 516d ago )

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!

Uuuu, I loved this one. I want it.

LucasRuinedChildhood1669d ago

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.

DarkZane1669d ago (Edited 1669d ago )

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).

LucasRuinedChildhood1669d ago

@DarkZane
complete agree. Most Wanted was good fun as well.

boing11668d ago

Yeah, Criterion has made two best NFS games in my opinion.

georeo1669d ago

Oh yes! They cops vs the drivers online was a blast.

LucasRuinedChildhood1669d ago

Better be 60FPS unlike the original console ports.

Sgt_Slaughter1669d ago

I would be excited but NFS is basically dead in the water at this point, a shell of its former self.
