)NFS Criterion Project Revealed - NFS: Hot Pursuit!
I got it this Saturday for my PC, and I'm surprised that it runs fairly well on my aging Pentium 4 (I'm hopefully going to get a totally new computer this holiday season, with a proper Core 2 Duo and more memory). Gameplay is good, and the online component/Autolog is also well done.

It's a great game, I enjoyed playing for a very long time on my PC and I still do. But there are things, which annoy me a bit like:
- missing siren light glow effects
- missing AA option
- missing rain and snow
- problems of the responsivness of my controller (RumblePad 2)
- some other minor problems
EA and Criterion don't even react on the comlainings of the community, they just recently released a timesaver DLC pack for racers and cops and then a SCPD rebel pack DLC, which adds some racer cars which were previously available only for the cops, like Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Coup

Wait, what?- missing siren light glow effects
- missing rain and snow
response from the developers when there are still people who can't even start the game because they have a Quad Core CPU.

Yeah, that's the main issue many people have, but not all. I didn't have this problem for example. But there are great news!
PC-Patch is coming in the beginning of the next week!!!

I'm so looking forward to it! Hope you do, too.- Multi-Core CPUs: We've now located and fixed the problem that players were reporting where the game would crash on Car Select, Map Screen, Loading screen or just at the start of an event. Interestingly we're actually intrigued that the game works at all after our investigations with the problem actually manifesting itself in code that we shipped as part of Burnout Paradise.
- Missing Rain / Snow and Corona effects: This have been fixed
- CL Eye Driver crashing the game on startup: Fixed.
- Corrupted Dreamshots in non 16:9 aspect ratios: Fixed.
- We've also added D-BOX motion chair support.

I've read about the incoming patch yesterday. Good that it'll be, fixing that bad quad core CPUs related problem, but still nothing about the missing AA. Good for the rain and snow effects adding.
About the two DLCs, available only for PS3 and Xbox 360 and not for free, the first one about the unlocking of everything of the game is useless, better complete the game unlocking the cars and races by themself... the second one is very nice instead, adding 7 new cars to the Racer category that were available only for the Police one; the cars are [url=https://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak- ... 0339_n.jpg]Aston Martin DBS Coup

Few bugs? NFS3 had none I think, also had dashes, split screen mode on PC, you didn't needed nitrous to win a race, you didn't needed to drift on every turn, as cop you didn't needed to trash opponent cars to stop them.
If want have all NFS HP3 things, just go to shop and buy the awesome Burnout game, even better than newest NFS

I do agree with Saj. I have the new Hot Pursuit, but I wasn`t really surprised from it. Autolog, Nitrous, Poorly done menu, bugs, stupid/cheater AI opponents, worse handbrake are just the things, ruined EA`s newest NFS title.
Yeah, NFS3 and NFS: HS in particular had glitches, but(!):
- Nitrous isn`t needed to win race. Here your driving skills are that you`ll need to win.
- As cop in High Stakes was really awesome. Making roadblocks, spike strips, changing your cop car with another, picking up car to follow you, etc., were just what High Stakes had, but Hot Pursuit doesn`t.
- Single Race, where the hell it had gone? Same as Quick Race.
- Split Screen, formely gone with from Porsche Unleashed/2000 here it doesn`t exist, too. Very bad, super slick.
But not everything has gone; if you still have copy of NFS3/High Stakes up and running, you may enjoy it forever

Yes, but I don't remember working blinkers in NFS3 or NFS4, also NFSHP3 hasn't got horns
Sad they also again made cars self turn on straight roads like in NFS Shift
In NFS3 you couldn't change with other cops, I'm happy that I still have my CD and can enjoy true racing game.- As cop in High Stakes was really awesome.

Agree with Sajmon, this new Hot Pursuit has many things missing from NFS Hot Pursuit 2 and more from NFS3. But anyway, is what racing games like this generally have nowadays.
The dashboard views is only for more simulative circuit racing games, like the nitro is only for arcade racing games like the NFS series. NFS3 has also many more info about its cars, and it had cars like the concept ones. Many modern racing games haven't anymore the split screen gameplay mode with two or four players; the game Blur is an exception. Would be nice have working blinkers, I remember them in NFS Porsche Unleashed only, though; the same is or the horns maybe. As last, as policeman, not really good stop the racer cars only hitting them or using the weapons, as Wilder means.
About the 1 million of visits challenge, it ends on 12th of December, and not until the end of the year. So, there's less time, but let's hope that the goal will be reached, and of course let's hope for the PC release of this DLC, because at the end, almost all the video visits comes from PC users...
About the patch, it's already available.
Get it from official website here; very nice the effects that it adds and improves.
