ENHANCED VISUALS â Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered delivers a timeless racing experience updated for todayâs generation of hardware with enhanced visuals.
EA knows not to mess with the classic formula, so the largely visual upgrades work, creating a satisfying game. Truth is, racing games havenât changed that much in the last decade; itâs about speed, and letting you feel that speed. Sure, youâre missing the ârewindâ feature of current racing games, and it might have been nice to get that added in here.
Ten years after its original release, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit remains one of the best games of the IP, but the remaster is quite light, with no new content and only lightly improved visuals.
As a re-release of one of the finest arcade racers of the modern era, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered is a tasty treat in 2020 too. We do miss a bit more value for the money than just the improved graphics and crossplay.
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered is still a great game a decade later, but itâs even better now with the addition of modern multiplayer sensibilities, improved visuals, and an expansive single-player campaign.
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit is a gem from 2010 that we didnât really need again. It definitely wasnât in my top 5 NFS games to come back as a remaster, but still one to welcome with its new additions. This is a game for those who never experienced it in its initial state in 2010 or for those who want some variation in the arcade racing genre in the meantime until the 2021 iteration is released.
The technical improvements are so minor, especially on the base PS4, you honestly might as well just play the PS3 version from ten years ago. Both are lots of fun. [Issue#182, p.138]
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit may have had its heyday, but this particular entry feels well past its prime with bland visuals, uninteresting courses, and terrible controls.
