Need for Speed Hot Pursuit: Updated Hands-On

12:32 PM - July 28, 2010 by RaychelSnr

At a recent EA event, I got a chance to check out the same Hot Pursuit demo I briefly messed around with at E3. For those unaware, the demo consists of one player being the cop and the other being the runner. You are either trying to get away or arrest the other driver who, in this case, was another user playing on a neighboring TV. You win the round by either creating enough distance between the runner and cop or by being taken to 100 percent damage by the cop. My opponents during these quick one-on-one sessions were Chris Gunter (Millennium) and Destructoid's Samit Sarkar.

Great article, I was looking forward to the revival of the Hot Pursuit series and with Criterion on board it piqued my interest. There are too many games coming out this year that I want so this may have to be a "buy down the track" or rental.

When will the Demo be out for this game?? If it's back to the orig roots, I will buy it for sure.. It will be a great game to pick up and play to have fun...

I wonder if a beta will be released for the Playstation Plus users. That would be sweet.

Actually looking forward to this game. I haven't had a NFS title since the original "Hot Pursuit" on Playsation 1.

Awesome, I was excited when I heard that they were bringing back Hot Pursuit. This was my favorite NFS game back in the day on the Original Playstation. I used to play this game for hours with friends. Definitely excited they are bringing this back.

I didn't want to make a new topic, but if you preorder this game on Amazon.com, they will also include a free Need for Speed Shift. I don't know if that game is any good though.

This looks very similar to one of them that I played on the PS2 and it was amazing. First day purchase for me.

This game has potential. If EA was smart they would release " NFS: Most Wanted 2 ". IMO most wanted was the best NFS game ever made, and the whole " Cop Chase " theme needs to be the sole emphasis this game is geared toward.
