Textures have been upscaled, making cars and tracks look even better at 4K resolution. The game received a remastered edition as part of its tenth anniversary in 2020. Easily reach speeds of over 200 MPH as you race against other racers, beat the clock, escape from the cops, or bust racers before they reach the finish line. Drive some of the fanciest, exotic cars around, ranging from Bugatis, Maseratis, Aston Martins, Mercedes, McLarens, Koenigseggs, BMWs, Paganis, Bentleys, Lamborghinis, Jaguars, and more in the fictional place of Seacrest County (no, unfortunately Teslas aren’t included), which tries to resemble California, Oregon, and Washington, United States. The premise behind it is simple: chase or be chased. Hot Pursuit was released in 2010 and is a reboot of Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit from 1998. Whatever role that you fit in, do you want to take vengeance, albeit in video game form? Do you want to crush the cops and ruin their day? Do you want to bust racers out of aggravation? That’s the beauty that Need for Speed offers - you, the player, can assume either the role of a law enforcer or a law breaker. You’re tired of the nasty people you have to put up with when you pull them over.
You feel like no one appreciates the hard, risky work that you put forth in maintaining order. Now let’s flip it the other way around: perhaps you’re a cop yourself (or you used to be one). Or you’re left scratching your head as to why you got pulled over for having a “dim license plate light” when in reality there’s nothing wrong with either you or your car, and now you’re late for work.
You understand that their job is to ensure the peace of the county that they’re in, but perhaps you don’t trust them, or you find them cold, rude. Still, despite the criticism we tend to give EA for their greedy practices, there’s a gem from them that I hold dear to my heart: Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit.
Even before the series came into existence for the 3DO in late 1994, EA had bought the company responsible for it, Distinctive Software, in 1991. It’s kind of hard to believe this series dates back almost 30 years ago.
