The VerdictĪs I mentioned in my opening, I do not believe anyone really asked for this remaster. You can free roam via career to see the sights of Seacrest County, but the game is nearly a pure remaster of the original. Beyond these few modes and events, there is not much else to see. It even allows players to start an event, recently completed by a friend, and try to beat their time or accolades. If you plan to play this hardcore with a set of dedicated friends, then this is a fantastic way to keep track of who is currently the top driver. This layer of interface tracks events between players and friends and provides recommendations and challenges. Admittedly, that may go against the idea of the game itself but I doubt it would be a detractor.ĮA did implement the ‘AutoLog’ system. Personally, I think the option to add NPCs to fill slots adds a solid layer of replayability allowing smaller lobbies to set games where perhaps all players are cops chasing down NPCs. Players will be limited to playing the modes as specifically intended, with players going head to head with other players. Unfortunately, the ability to add NPC cops or drivers was not added. While the vibe can certain shift with a full lobby of drivers, those playing with one or so friends will find most of the modes play and feel relatively the same. I tried several of these modes in online action. Arms Race – A race featuring the world’s top supercars.Most Wanted – Cops work together to stop the player chosen as the ‘Most Wanted’ other racers will aid in stopping the cops.Race – Race top of the line exotic vehicles.Interceptor – A one on one, cop versus racer event.Hot Pursuit – Racers will need to fight to finish the race.No matter the lobby, players have a selection of the following: Outside of Career, players can engage in online pursuits via Public, Private, or Invite Only lobbies. There was some occurrences of this during pursuits as well, but they were largely unnoticeable once the rubber starts burning. After testing on two different consoles across multiple modes, I did notice several audio issues with clips tearing or abruptly going in and out. ![]() I do not believe the game was meant to blow anyone away with its visuals. Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered brings the original up to par with standard racing games. While it does include cross-platform multiplayer and all original DLC, ultimately, its feel does not exceed a simple competitive arcade-style Need for Speed. This effectively makes success all about time in the best ways possible. ![]() With the simplified control schemes, some police maneuvers can be performed at the push of a button. Taking tight turns and maneuvering oncoming traffic feels increasingly gratifying as pursuits enter the final stretch. One thing I really like is the feel of the vehicles. If you’re completely new, the beginning of each career provides a quick and dirty tutorial on how to get the most out of your car. Whether online or playing career, moment to moment action remains relatively the same. Any seasoned Need For Speed player should have an easy time managing themselves behind the wheel. This works well as drivers focus on strategically outmaneuvering the competition while maintaining high speeds. With abilities like helicopters and spike strips being implemented, most of the driving techniques have been simplified as well as the control scheme. Like the original, the remastered edition focuses on head-to-head competitive pursuits. However, the game plays rather well on the new engine, for the most part. Since this is a remaster, there is not much in the way of innovation. Like before, players will be testing their skill in high speed police chases. ![]() In Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered, players return to Seacrest County.
