Anyone else getting this?
Game Info
This November, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit launches you into a new open-world landscape behind the wheel of the world's fastest and most beautiful cars. From Criterion, the award-winning studio behind the Burnout series, Hot Pursuit will redefine racing games for a whole new generation.
You'll experience stunning speeds, takedowns, and getaways as you battle your friends in the most connected Need for Speed game ever. Through Need for Speed Autolog and its innovative approach to connected social competition, your Hot Pursuit experience will extend beyond the console onto the web, constantly moving your gameplay in new and unique directions.
Loaded with action, this game will challenge you to become Seacrest County's top cop or most wanted racer. For the first time ever in a Need for Speed game, you'll be able to play a full career on either side of the law. This fall, whether you're a lead-foot speeder or a cop with a mean streak, make sure your aviators are spotless and your driving record is anything but.
* Career – For the first time in Need for Speed history, players will experience the gripping and heart-racing action of both cops and racers. Hot Pursuit seamlessly links a tremendously deep and fully-defined single player career with a groundbreaking multiplayer experience across all race modes. In the end, whether playing online with friends, taking on friends challenges or the single player career, players will earn bounty that levels them up and unlocks new cars, weapons and equipment. * Need For Speed Autolog – In Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, your friends drive your gameplay experience. Need for Speed Autolog is a revolutionary system that connects friends directly to each other’s games, enabling them to compare and share all their experiences, pictures and challenges. Need for Speed Autolog instinctively delivers challenges based on what your friends have been doing, creating a hugely dynamic, socially competitive experience. * Weapons and Equipment – Enhance the intensity of the pursuit using multiple weapons as the heat level increases during a pursuit. Whether taking down suspects with a variety of cop weapons or using evasion equipment as a racer to outsmart the cops, players will always have a method for gaining an edge over their opponent. * Cars – In Hot Pursuit, the cars go from hot to hotter. Experience the thrill of driving the world’s most desirable high performance cars at incredible speeds. Feel the power of busting suspects in supercharged cop interceptors like the Lamborghini Reventon or outsmarting the law as a racer in high performance supercars like the Pagani Zonda Cinque. * Seacrest County – Explore a world as diverse as the California coastline with desert, forest, seaside and mountainous regions. The open world of Seacrest County is designed to create the most intense pursuit experiences ever found in a racing game.
* RELEASE DATE: November 16, 2010 * PLATFORM: Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC
**EDIT** My bad guys, Instead of Oh yeah! as a choice, it should be, "I will think about it"
Here's some more videos of gameplay.

I aint voting for any of those, how bout "EA has burned me and i'm not buying their shit anymore"
Or could be "NFS has been so shite the last few games they aint buying me back with some shonky remake"

Yep, what he said. Plus with new MAG stuff I couldn't be bothered to anyways, and I have Midnight Club anyways, which, in my mind, is better than NFS. And cheaper too.

I'd prefer to wait out for Gran Turismo, which, better be bloody fantastic,
Not too mention Fallout next month, Dead rising 2 'n' True crime 3 all coming out in consecutive months
That, and that new MAG beta is going to be hard to put down

I think I may fall in love with New Vegas. And jesus, FU2 is going to be amazing I think. Plus the new Kotor may also be pretty nice. Lotta games I might like.

I know I won't be buying this game only because all the new NFS games after Underground 2 have been terrible. I do miss messing with them cops though.
Shame GT doesn't have a Hot pursuit mini-game or something. Some mode to see how long we can outrun the cops. This is one of my favorite things to do in racing games, and there hasn't been a good one in a long time.
I know this is a remake of the NFS hot pursuit that came out on the PS2, I just hope they change the helicopter. That thing was cheap as hell with it's explosive spike balls of doom.

Yeah same. I'm waiting for GT5. NFS caught my attention when I was younger, but the games just seem to be more of the same. And I'm not a fan of EA's "throw money at it and it'll all be good" attitude to all their games. They have no character and no soul.
Saying that I'm still a Fifa man. But then football is one game where splashing the cash for the official licenses is well spent.

True but the rosters are fully licensed and always being updated. If your serious about footie then that's a big plus. And let's be honest here, PES churns out a new one every year with little change. Not to mention they have the audacity to call it Soccer. If they just kept the "Winning Eleven" title it would be more respectable.

I guess I might be the only one getting this. this game is made by Criterion this time instead of black box. It will be different. I'm hoping that some of you will at least rent the game.

Not going to be able to go online with a rented copy if EA gets their way.
One code per copy

I just hope that this combines the original NFS games with a storyline. That would be more fun.

Very few racing games actually have even a relatively good storyline. In fact, I haven't actually seen one yet that does.

I'm not dissing Gt5, but that doesn't mean you can be a flexible gamer and get both. I put up some more gameplay videos if it helps.
