    Overall, my first impressions of this remaster is a good one and it just keeps getting better the more I play it. I have streamed it a couple of times not because tons of people have been watching but simply because I want to share my love for the game with others.

    Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered is a good reissue of one of the best Need for Speed ever made.

    A bit aged in some respects, but perfect in others, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered is still, after a decade, a great racing game with a spicy Burnout flavour.

    Minimal remaster that changes almost nothing, doesn't look dewy fresh, but is still as much fun today as it was in 2010.

    Ten after its initial release, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is still a really good game, and the few improvements Stellar Entertainment has brought to refresh it a bit. Nervous, easy to learn and rather dense thanks to the addition of DLC, the title fits without much difficulty in a market where purely arcade racing games are rare, despite an aging general structure.

    An unfortunately thin experience Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, is a fun romp while it lasts, but it lacks any draw to return to it after completion. The multiplayer options are limited, but the online mode is solid and functional. For anyone who loved the remaster in the past, this will feel exactly as it did back then, but missing local play. A decent driving game with some weird changes.

    This remastered edition of 2010's Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit shows how aged the game has become. The graphics are slightly better, but the driving and missions truly remain all those years back.

    Cons:
    - A few cars were removed due to licensing issues
    - No Italian Polizia livery on the Gallardo
    - I still hate the Racer Hot Pursuit events where higher tier cops appear at the closing stages XD

    Short summary: The only good thing about this remaster is the DLC content that was never released for PC in the original version.    … Expand

    Para quem gosta apenas de jogar sem se importar com história ou se envolver mais com o jogo talvez esse seja o jogo.
    Começando pelos gráficos    Para quem gosta apenas de jogar sem se importar com história ou se envolver mais com o jogo talvez esse seja o jogo.
    Começando pelos gráficos esse jogo é muito bonito, com um detalhamento muito grande no modelo dos carros que são todos licensiados. Existe muita opção para mudar as cores e aparencia dos carros mas encerra por ai.
    Quanto a jogabilidade na pista praticamente não via diferença entre um carro e outro além do controle, pois não importava se pegasse um carro mais rápido os que estão atrás sempre alcançam os da frente.
    Ainda sim achei muito estranho o carro na mão nesse jogo.
    Mas o que mais me decepcionou no jogo é uma completa ausencia de uma história ou evolução no jogo. Não existe como evoluir algo, investir em algo. O jogo vai te dando carro atrás de carro e nem é possivel sentir muita diferença entre eles na pista.
    Foi uma lastima terminar o jogo e não peguei 100% porque depois de 15 horas não aguentava mais esse jogo.    … Expand

I have a RTX 2080 and it keeps stuttering even with graphics on low. Graphics are a little better than original. I wasted like 1 hour solving a controller issue where there was a message in the screen saying that my controller was not supported. -_-
    I don't mind the arcade gameplay but the stuttering is too much annoying, it breaks even the music!!! Game is bad. I got it for free but will never play it because it's just annoying to play in the current state. I don't even believe they will ever fixed it. Waste of money for someone that paid for it.    … Expand

    The worst game in the series remastered....
    Barely changed anything...

    -Rubber banding still present, so the AI can pass whenever it pleases so races cannot be enjoyed....
    -No graphics overhaul, only things that can be done easily using Reshade
    -Handling is still bad
    -Some cars are not in the game, that were in the original

    At least its half the price for a new AAA game...
    If they wanted to remaster a Criterion game, they could have used 2012, which to me is not a NFS game but a fun racing game...    … Expand
