NFS: Hot Pursuit (2010)

This week saw the launch of the website for the new project Criterion games Need for Speed™ Hot Pursuit, which will be released for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation3 in November of this year. The game's developers have tried to preserve the old NFS that everyone loved so much before. Expensive cars, high speed and beautiful countryside landscapes - all of this has remained in its traditional form. As you can see from the video, the game will let you play as both racers and police officers. All high-speed pursuits are connected to Need for Speed Autolog. This online service not only brings friends together in epic races, but also lets players compare their race results, laying the foundation for a global competition.
The trailer itself shows that someone wanted to escape from the police in a Koenigsegg CCX, McLaren incredibly new MP4-12C and an ultra-exclusive Pagani Zonda Cinque. It would be easy to speed away from the start if the police weren't equally equipped with exclusive hardware - Ford Shelby GT500, an amazing Bugatti Veyron 16.4 and the legendary Lamborghini Reventon. But don't hold back - our goals and objectives are high speed with aggressive driving. Don't expect to finish in your starting car.

Craig Sullivan (Craig Sullivan, the project's creative director, says:
"We at Criterion have been playing Need for Speed since it first appeared on 3DO. The opportunity to reimagine this game and make it more suited to today's online players is incredibly exciting work and a great honor for us. We want to make the racers-versus-police confrontation so fun, fast and thrilling that players can truly feel the adrenaline and dynamics of a high-speed police chase together with their friends".

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit is being developed by Criterion Games and will be released for PC and the Xbox 360® and PlayStation®3 entertainment systems on November 16, 2010 in North America and November 18-19, 2010 in Europe. Information about the game's launch in Russia will be announced separately.
