Hot Pursuit Remastered still maintains a lot of the same fun that was had a decade ago. Overall, the weapon system was intuitive, slowly drip-fed into the career modes, and thankfully, not too much of a distraction from the pure driving experience. The chases as cops where you’re shutting down as many as eight cars in a race were so much fun, and once you got into it, it was very hard to put down. If you’re a racer with EMP’s, do you target your fellow competitor, thinking a takedown will send them down the field? Or do you target a police helicopter laying spike strips up ahead? Or is that what you use your jammer for, disabling all weapons briefly? The amount of weapons for each event are limited, so timing and situational awareness are keys to success. For better and worse, this all holds true in the remaster as well. The tactical element of which weapon to use, and when, showed a hidden level of depth as well. The drifting was tricky at times, the game carrying a small amount of input lag (A small delay between inputs on the wheel and the steering of the car), but when you got it right, it was incredibly satisfying. The beauty of Hot Pursuit was its simple fun. You’ll also gain access to weapons within races like EMP’s top fire at cars in front, spike strips to hit cars behind you. By the time your rank is in the double digits, you’ll be in full-blown hypercars of the time like the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport and the Koenigsegg Agera. At the start, you’re looking at relatively tame sports cars like the Mazda RX-8, and the Audi TT. In 2020, this certainly hits a little differently compared to the time of the original, but Need For Speed’s world is so much like a soap opera in its reality-stretching, over-the-top nature that it’s pretty much a moot point in the grand scheme of things.īoth sides of the events ladder have rankings, gaining access to faster cars and weapons as you progress.
