After every NFS game being crap after Most Wanted I am actually really excited about this, it seems the series is going back to basics and it looks EPIC!

Its being developed by Criterion games the same people who made Burnout Paradise (IMO one of the greatest games of all time) so I think NFS will finally be good again.

yeah, having a world to explore and tonnes of cars to drive is what i like to see, does this have that?

No idea yet but considering the current state of the NFS series I would imagine so. To R32_Skyline_GTS I couldnt agree more with you about the Underground series, I still get out the old PS2 and play NFS: Underground 2 to this very day.

YES! Me too! The amount of customisation is hot. And then free roam just doing burnouts with hydrolics. <3

I thought pro street was pretty good?

IMO pro street is the worst game to ever have a the NFS name on it, maybe one of the worst racing games ever considering how hyped it was. The physics were completely wrong and there was no free roam only bullshit racing. If I just want to race i'll play Forza, Grid or Gran Turismo. Pro Street was so bad I actually threw the game away so that I saved one person from playing that piece of shit. Need for speed needs to stick to its street racing roots as opposed to trying compete with the millions of circut racing games.

The drift mode in Grid is EPIC! I think its the best most realistic drift mode in a car game to date, it has its flaws, but overall 9.9/10. I randomly get it out now and then go for a burn in the AE86 around my favorite track :blink:

Nothing beats the fun factor (and the music) of the Underground series.

This new one looks fkn good. I like the online play. Either be the cop or the speeder...

LOL! @ NFS.

So what looks to be Ford Mustangs keeping up with a Koenigsegg CCX and Police have money to ram a Bugatti Veyron up the ass of the Koenigsegg CCX then a Pagani Zonda bush bashes it way out and side hits the Veyron, then a Lamborghini Gallardo pit maneuvers the get away car...

That's why we love NFS! :P

This looks pretty good and should bring back the memories from 1998 when the 1st NFS Hot Pursuit came out.

I would love to see a car list on this game, too bad we gotta wait till Nov 2010.

the ford indigo was cool as well.

nfs 2 was so much better than the first one. you could actually win races in number 2. i've played the first one a few times and never even come close to winning a race, yet i can finish all the others.

i love this video from nfs 1 though

. especially where it is hard under brakes

Don't you just hate it when you nick the slightest thing, and it doesn't do anything to your path, and you lose the points? T__T

But yeah, I agree about it being almost a drift simulator. :)

Yeah it can be a bit frustrating at times but thats why I nearly always drift the wider tracks :D I do love drifting around the docks though thats top fun especially when you start to string it all together in a more or less continuess drift :thumbsup:

nfs 2 se was the best I played . Loved the F1 and ford gt90 :P

The sounds on NFS2SE were better than just about any other race game aswell, plus the drivers seat view.

E3 2010: Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Preview - Criterion takes the series back to the past for its bright new future.

US, June 16, 2010 by Martin Robinson

If last year's Need for Speed: Shift rekindled the long-running racing franchise, then Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is a full-on resurrection. Criterion, master of the arcade racer as attested by the Burnout games, have been given the keys to EA's series, and the results are incredible – an artful blend of the old and the new, it manages to acknowledge Need for Speed's glorious past while mixing in an inspired level of connectivity.

There's a love of the classic Need for Speeds that's apparent as soon as the demo begins – two Lamborghinis play a lethally fast game of cat and mouse, a Murcielago tailed by a Reventon decked out in black and white cop colours and their pursuit taking them through the verdant Pacific Midwestern roads of the fictional Seacrest County, lined with big firs under a clean blue sky. It's the joy and unfettered beauty of the open road as so wonderfully embodied by the 1994 3DO original, and it's being torn apart by the kind of high speed chase that was a feature of arguably the best instalment since, 2002's Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2.

True to Criterion's last effort, the hugely impressive Burnout Paradise, Need for Speed Hot: Pursuit is an open world racer – but this world is much more expansive, taking in 100s of miles of road. There are two sides to take – the cops and the suspects, both of which feed in to a selection of game modes. The only one on display today, however, is Interceptor, taking in the game of cat and mouse that took centre stage at EA's conference.

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.

Overlooking all of this is an XP system – here called Bounty – that informs the levelling system that runs through Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. It's topped up by familiar feats; driving into oncoming traffic, checking cars and maxing out the speedometer. Best of all, it's persistent both online and off.

And while the offline game will doubtless be comprehensive – although Criterion aren't showing too much of it just yet – it's online where Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit's focus is, and it's the Autolog that'll be its very heart. Autolog is Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit's very own social network, and while Bizarre's recent trailblazing in this area with Blur has stolen some of its thunder it's well thought out nevertheless.

What it has over its opposition is its dynamism – Autolog automatically pulls in data from friends, recommending challenges based on their activities, be that a recent hot race or time attack record smashed. It's even got its own Twitter-esque live feed where status updates and recent achievements mix with photos pulled in from both the real world and from the world of Seacrest County.

It's exciting stuff, and Criterion have managed to honour the series' heritage while acknowledging their own, and it's to Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit's credit that the only real frustration is that so little is being shown off right now. We'll be sure to bring you more between now and its November release.

Definetly free roam boo yah :P

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
