Need For Speed Demo Dated

Criterion are warming-up nicely for the November release of the stunning looking Need For Speed Hot Pursuit, with the release of another scrummy looking trailer.

Even though the gameplay looks exciting enough to make a Criterion fan like myself explode, that’s not the best thing about this trailer, as right at the end it’s revealed that a demo will be landing from October 26th. Just 32 days to go then.

  1. Looks better every time I see it. Can’t wait to try the demo.

  2. Can’t wait for this game, I hope F1 2010 keeps my anxiety down till then? =O

  3. Does look good. Bit annoyed that it’s not free roam though.

    • It is free roaming. But once you accept a race or challenge or whatever, then you’re funnelled down a specific route.

      At least, that’s what I understand about it…

      • i hope it is free roam so dissapointed if its not

    • Its the best of both worlds

      Its free roam so you can just drive around and enjoy the scenery and choose whatever event you want, and also open world is a great place to meet-up for multiplayer and just hang around, certainly better between friends than an in-game lobby, but the second you accept a challenge or enter an even, the circuit is closed to a route, except for shortcuts ;)

      • They learned from the Burnout Paradise complaints then!

      • Absolutely, this best of both worlds approach is as a direct result of that.

        At 200mph no one wants to spend more time looking at a mini-map than they do the road in front of them

      • Ah I see. So it basically plays the same as the old Need For Speeds like Underground. Now I really want it.

      • Finding out it’s open world and seeing the trailer has just gave me a stiffy for this game

      • so the in game lobby is free roam??

  4. Now the question is… Police or Baddies ?
    Cop cars tend to have better coffee holders
    and donut stand locations on the central GPS.

    • Coffee holder in a Pagani Zonda intercepter unit?

  5. Looking very good, can’t wait for the demo.

  6. Awesome!

  7. This is looking like a great follow up to the PS2 version , can’t wait to play it.

  8. I loved the old NFS Hot Pursuit and this looks just like it but up to date and developed by Criterion… perfect!

    • Can’t think of anything better.

      Although if someone was selling dogshit with a Criterion logo on I’d buy it. Day 1!

      • Im printing off my Criterion logo off now. How much are you offering.

  9. Did you hear that Zonda pull away? Pure sex!

    • What Zonda?

      • I couldn’t see/hear it either, but I didn’t want to say anything, in case I was wrong.

      • Me to, I dare not to cross Bunimomike

    • Oh, my apologies. The lovely cop car half way through. No? I opened the video in YouTube itself. Hope it was the same video. Lolcats, yes? :-p

      • Oh, it’s got McLaren on the back, I think. Oh, I don’t know. It sounded good. :-p

      • Yeah it’s McLaren’s new one, The MP2560 Sex Thrust, I think.

        You also have mail ;).

  10. aerial support isn’t much use at an altitude of ten feet.
