| NFS HP: Hands-On and Video-Walkthrough |
Wednesday, 16.06.2010 |
 After the  presentation of Need for Speed Hot Pursuit slowly the first videos and reports are coming in:
Here you can see a 1 vs 1 race, which was played at the presentation at the E3:
Gametrailers was able to play Need for Speed Hot Pursuit themselves and show you the game in a walkthrough-video.
The onlinegamazone Gamespot sat down with producer Craig Sullivan and gives you more details on the game in their hands-on article.
Excerpt
The game focuses on two different playable classes--the cop and the racer. The relationship will be "like a dog chasing down a rabbit," according to Sullivan. He said, "We want the racer to feel like the rabbit, and the cop to feel like the dog." Like the dog, the cop is more powerful--not only will police cars be faster, they also won't take damage. Racers actually have it pretty tough in comparison--they'll have more speed and stealth-related power-ups, but they'll take damage every time a cop car hits them. Like the rabbit, the racer should feel vulnerable to attack and will have to outsmart the cop to survive.
Additionally IGN wrote a first preview of NFS Hot Pursuit:
Excerpt:
The thrill of the chase is intoxicating within itself, thanks to an exhilarating sense of speed that's amplified by a rechargeable nitrous boost and some sublime handling. It's initially galling, especially to anyone schooled in Burnout's own unique model, and is much weightier than Criterion's past games. The low-slung Lamborghinis soon reveal themselves to be a delight to throw around, swinging their plump posteriors around corners simple yet satisfying.
It runs deeper than that though, and there's a surprising level of nuance to the chase. The win states are self explanatory – for the chaser, it's about pummelling the suspect into submission, and for them it's just about getting away. Power-ups add strategy; the d-pad houses four of them, ranging from the cop deploying a helicopter to keep eyes on the suspect or calling in a road block to a radar jamming device that renders the mini-map useless and an EMP blast that temporarily immobilises the opponent.

| New NFS: Need for Speed Hot Pursuit? |
Sunday, 13.06.2010 |
As previously reported Criterion Games is working on a new Need for Speed, which is being presented soon at the E3 Expo in Los Angeles.
As it seems in a video at Gametrailers leaked the name of the new NFS during a presentation of the E3. According to the following screens, the new NFS will have the name Need for Speed Hot Pursuit:
The name Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, or as shown on one of the pictures - Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Race is quite interesting, as the third NFS game already carried the title "Hot Pursuit" and EA Black Box made a predecessor with "Hot Pursuit 2". We'll see, what Criterion Games will show us on Monday at the E3.
We'll keep you updated.

Today the website of Criterion Games launched a large countdown, without any further notice.
As the new Need for Speed is being presented on this year's E3 in Los Angeles (from 15th to 17th June), we can assume the countdown might be about the new Need for Speed title, which is currently in the works by Criterion Games.
The countdown ends on June 14th, 2010 at um 22:00 (GMT). We'll see, what happens once this point is reached, but it is likely that it's the new NFS which is planned for release in autumn/winter 2010. Once we know more, you'll get to know here.
