Progress Report: Need For Speed – Hot Pursuit
Criterion Games’ Twitter page has definitely been buzzing since Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit was officially unveiled at this year’s E3 Expo, and reports indicate the game is worth waiting for, to be sure.
The British company, who created the highly-successful Burnout series, is on track to restore the Need for Speed franchise to its former glory, and many fans are wanting to find out all they can before the game’s early November PS3 release. Over the last few days, the company’s Tweets have let eager gamers know what could be coming in the near future regarding the game, which is quite awesome.
Here’s a rundown of the some of quick details to be considered noteworthy:
- Like Burnout Paradise, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit will be an open-world game, just bigger and better! Chases will take place all over the game’s map, not on predetermined routes
- There will be no options to tune or upgrade the game’s cars. Similarly, visual customisation will be very limited
- Most if not all cars will be exotic by classification, though unfortunately Ferrari will not be appearing in the manufacturer line-up
- Hot Pursuit will feature two individual campaigns of almost equal length, one for the police and one for the criminal
- The custom soundtrack feature will be supported
- Multiplayer modes will be online-only. There will be no split-screen mode
- A cockpit viewpoint will not be available
