NFS 6: NFS HP 2 on TV Wednesday, 19.06.2002
Today Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 has been presented on TV in GIGA Games, a German computer broadcast. I just could view it only over the internet with webstreaming, so the quality was really bad but there are a few things that were really interesting.

1. Keith Munro, the Marketing Director EA Canada, who was a guest, said that NFS HP 2 will be released for Playstation 2 within the first week of October. This is quite strange, because Electronic Arts Netherlands said, it will be released earlier.

2. The first time you could see the damage model of the cars, and Keith Munro said you will be able do damage the whole body of the car. And when you are very damaged, your car will smoke.

3. A total new feature are the so-called 'Speedlines'. Here the car stops and the camera moves back for about two- threehundred meters, the track your drove, and then you can see some kind of red glowing line, the line you drove. Then the camera returns back to your car along the line, in a spectacular way. Like the 360° turn of the camera you can use this feature by hitting a button. The 360 ° turn will appear automatically, when you make a high jump or some other stunt, but you will be able to turn it off.

4. The splitscreen is back! Keith Munro also played the Hot Pursuit Mode on the splitscreen, which was not available in NFS 5. But now it is back, and it looks really great!

5. The Pursuit Mode will containt a helicopter, which will intercept in the happenings and is also trying to stop your car...with bombs and rockets!
The police cars will have a nitroboost, which will make it more difficult to escape.

6. There will be some differences between the versions of the different platforms, because of the two development teams (Black Box Games and EA Seattle). The Playstation 2 version will contain more tracks (actually I don't know how many exactly), but the other versions will have an additional carrer mode: the "Cop-Mode".

7. The specs for the pc version are: Pentium II 450 Mhz, and at least a 16MB graphic card, DirectX 8 compatible.

(Thanks to Mooff for some more infos)

Finally I just can say that Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 is really a great game, and the graphics are really incredible. I hope it will be released soon.
