On the official website NFS Hot Pursuit a list of "weapons" for both sides was published. Each short video describes a specific "weapon". The description is interesting. Only the most basic (and somewhat obvious) properties of the "weapons" are described, and a couple of tips and hints on how to use them are also given.

Police weapons:


EMP



Road Block




Helicopter Support




Spike Strip





Racers' weapons:

EMP Spike Strip Jammer Turbo

When you send a YouTube video, insert the HTML code that is in the upper right corner (it appears after viewing), and I can edit the window size myself. Another request: the news description should not be too short, at least 2-3 sentences and at least 30 words. Try to be creative when submitting news.

EA is having fun—their advertising campaign this year is serious. The video is funny.

Working again.

The Eurogamer website published an interview with one of EA's executives. A summary of the facts with my translation:

  • Criterion will not work only on NFS, and plans for their further cooperation with EA are still unclear. It is possible that another third-party developer will be brought in to create games with a development period of about 2 years (as was the case with Hot Pursuit - translator's note).
  • the Burnout series will continue to evolve further (a clear hint that Criterion will be the one working on it - translator's note).
  • the "action" direction (World, Hot Pursuit, etc.) and the "simulator" direction (Shift) will remain active. Every Christmas, a new game in the "action" series from BlackBox can be expected, while the semi-simulators of the Shift series from Slighty Mad will be released without a predetermined timeframe, when ready.
  • it has been acknowledged that the delay of Gran Tursimo 5 will have a positive effect on Hot Pursuit sales.
  • the goal of Shift is to "achieve leadership in the authentic simulators segment"; Shift's competitors are Forza and GT, and among Shift's advantages, its availability on all platforms was cited.
