That Corvette was a lot faster than the Impreza. The only noticeable difference between cars was the speed. They are a completely different size, shape, and weight. Driving a Subaru Impreza felt identical to driving a Corvette. I am not sure if that is because racing games have come a long way since then or what. I remember the game having better handling in 2010. The handling of the vehicles is perhaps the most important aspect of a racing game. You can pause the game and look gaze at the beauty in the photo mode. The taillights make each car pop with vibrance. One of the notable instances, of the graphics, is when you are driving at night. Even with motion blur, you can still see the detail of each vehicle. The environments don’t look the best, but it’s not about the scenery. I was impressed with the upscaled resolution in Hot Pursuit. Despite this, I just found myself wanting more races or hot pursuits. These different game modes try to break up the monotony. There are other objectives like a 1 on 1 race or even a 1 on 1 officer against racer battle. Often there are time trials where you need to use a certain type of vehicle. To offset that, the menu felt very clunky and shows it’s age. The narrator was something I found delightful in the original and I am glad it made its return. It is a nice way to learn a little about a lot. When selecting a vehicle, you can hear someone talking and giving you some history and details about that vehicle. A large bright spot of the car selection menu is the narrator.
In Hot Pursuit the vehicles have not made any changes. For example, the 2020 Dodge Challenger looks different from its 2010 model. Along the same lines, the cars still fit the year of said model. The roster of vehicles stays true to the original game. I found it enjoyable that the game doesn’t have any updated cars. The tiers make it so you aren’t driving a Ford Crown Victoria against a McLaren MP4. There is a massive amount of cars to choose from, and they all are put into different tiers. There is also bounty given based on how you eliminate them.Ī huge portion of the presentation is the vehicles in the game. You also accumulate bounty as an officer depending on how fast you can take out the criminals. From there, you accelerate into a battle between yourself against the racers. On the other side, you choose your police car and then go on patrol till you get a radio call of an ongoing street race.
But you can accumulate extra bounty by losing pursuing officers or taking down an opponent.
You would get the maximum amount of bounty if you finish in 1st place. Bounty is Hot Pursuit ‘s term for experience points. Depending on where you end the race, that determines how much “bounty” you get to level up. As a racer, you choose your vehicle and go head to head with x amount of opponents. You are given a map that you can navigate through and decide if you want to be a racer or police officer. High-performance street racing versus nitrous fueled police chases. Shown to you are two sides of the same coin. The presentation of Hot Pursuit is exciting. So I sat down with the motorsport game to see how it handles after a whole decade. Nonetheless, Hot Pursuit is one in the franchise that I remember fondly from my Xbox 360 days. You don’t see too many if any, racing games upgraded for the current generation. Need For Speed Hot Pursuit being remastered was a pleasant surprise. In the era of remakes and remasters, there are plenty of games we expected to be enhanced.
