    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...

    Its sadly just a lazy glorified port of the original from 10 years ago. Its still a good game (Thats why I dont give it a 0) but in some places the game has even been made worse graphical wise. I would recommend you to get the original for 10 bucks on steam than this cash grab from EA.

    I must say that original one was a great game and I really enjoyed it but the remastered version is nothing but a **** cash grab. They could've remade Most Wanted 2005 but nah let's release lazy remaster of 10 year old game that still looks beautiful and demand 35$ when the original (that only didn't have DLCs and multiplayer) has cost definitely less.

    So releasing a 2020 game racing game without wheel support? Instantly 0 points for me.

    Lazy cash grab, with graphical improvements over the original so minimal that they're difficult to notice at all.

    I've really tried to keep playing this, but it's almost impossible, the gameplay is awful, graphics and sound design makes the game look poorly made, you will feel bored after playing it for 30 minutes

    No steering wheel support. Max of 60 fps. Expensive.
    Joke of a remaster. Really expensive for what it is. NFS Hot Pursuit with better graphics. That's it.

    Poor optimized. 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

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.

    Вы даже и не заметите разницы между оригиналом. Единственный плюс это кроссплей

    nothing innovative because the graphics of the original 2010 game were already amazing. CRITERION being able to do BURNOUT again with its incredible destruction instead of doing as much crap as These NFS floppeds

    Это просто УЖАСНО! Графика хуже оригинала 2010 года, играть в 2022 году в это БОЛЬНО! Машина поворачивает с большим трудом несколько секунд в одну сторону! Для ПК игра вообще не предназначена, настройка клавиатуры тоже УЖАСНА! Самое плохое в этой игре это геймплей и графика! Не рекомендую к покупке, не тратьте свои деньги на это!Это просто УЖАСНО!

    really? a remaster for a game that looks good? i don't know which is worse, EA for giving orders to do this garbage or Stellar for agreeing to do this.

    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.

    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.

    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.
