NFS Hot Pursuit Demo expired due to Server-Switch

NFS Hot Pursuit Demo expired due to Server-Switch

Tuesday, 16.11.2010

The demo of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit on Xbox360 and Playstation3 expired on November 9th, 2010.

In the latest Major Nelson Podcast Creative Director Craig Sullivan explains why:

"The reason is that we switched the servers over to now support the main game. We wanted to put it out there and see what people liked and what people didn’t like," said Sullivan. "It’s the case that we believe that when we ship a game and people buy it, we have to provide a service, and party of that service is making sure that whenever you’re playing online, or whenever you’re playing with the cable in the back of the machine and you’re connected through Autolog, that everything works really well.

It’s our job to ensure the quality of that service. We put the demo out there to give people a taste of what’s to come and get people’s feedback, but also to just make sure the systems are really solid.

Switching over to the production servers is making sure that we’ve done our learning from the demo; that’s why it was time-limited, and that’s why we’re ready to rock when the game comes out."

If you want to play the Hot Pursuit demo anyway, you can set the time of your console to an earlier date than November 9th and then you can start the demo again. The Autolog features are turned off of course, but singleplayer is still possible.
