![]() And not once have I spotted a hint of slowdown or lag: the racing is fast and indeed furious, with some real scraps being had on the way to the line. And not only fill up with Xbox racers, but the cross platform play has been on display as PC players also join in the fun. Now, usually when I review games with an online component, the fields are somewhat sparse, but this has not been the case with Hot Pursuit Remastered I’ve been both amazed and gratified to see the public lobbies fill up. The other side of NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered, apart from career mode, is found in the excellent online offerings. As a result, cars from Lamborghini and Porsche, as well as supercars like the Bugatti Veyron, are included, along with a multitude of new events and even extra achievements. There’s certainly no shortage of content to go at, and that’s largely down to this Remastered version of the game including all the previously released DLC in one package. Gauntlet sees a lone racer trying to beat a target time along a route where the police are waiting, Preview sees a manufacturer giving you access to a super speedy car to try out, and finally Time Trial again does what it says on the tin, seeing you trying to beat a set time along a set route.Īs you complete races or challenges, new events on both sides of the game open up, with multiple races and race types appearing in the same locations. Again, the other racers may or may not have weapons to use against each other, and dodging spike strips certainly adds a little frisson to the proceedings. Race is pretty much as it says on the tin a straight race to the finish to see who can get the best time. Racers meanwhile also have access to events that are only available on that side of the coin. The crashes are depicted in loving slow-mo as well, with chunks of bodywork flying everywhere they do look absolutely fantastic. Forget softly, softly policing there is none of that on display here, and boosting into a speeder, smashing him into a barrier and possibly off a cliff are all seen as proportionate tactics. ![]() Hot Pursuit basically involves catching up to a speeding vehicle, and beating it into submission. On starting the game, there are only two options, a race for the Racers (surprising, I know) and a Hot Pursuit for the Police. ![]() ![]() So, starting with career mode, as it is here that the majority of progress will be made, and immediately you are faced with the choice of which team you want to drive for. That in turn means more mayhem, which equals more fun. Obviously, better cars means you can go faster, and better weapons turns the streets into a battleground. And even better than that, the two sides can also unlock weaponry that can be nailed to your car to give you the edge as you go racing or busting speeders. Each of the two “teams”, for want of a better phrase, has their own progression, and as you gain Bounty you not only gain levels, going from a “Speeder” to “Most Wanted” on the Racer side for instance, but you also gain access to new and better cars as you go. And then just to add the dualistic nature of the gameplay, it is then split further into two sides – Cops and Racers. Hot Pursuit Remastered is split into two halves – Career and Online.
