Anyone else looking forward to this?

Due on the 19th and developed by Criterion (Burn Out Paradise) I think its going to be a good one after all the previous let downs

The in built on line friends and stats tracking looks great, unfortunately its missing car damage and a **** pit view but its an arcade game not a simulater

Scored a 9 on gametrailers review

looks like burnout with an nfs theme... so im expecting more tired old burnout crap.

they should have let the people who did shift do it but i guess they are working on shift 2.

from what i have saw of hot pursuit the textures look worse than shift.

i hate it when a company has different devs doing different versions of the same line of games theres no continuity at all
 
My ideal driving game would be :

Take Shift's engine, its car interiors and graphics, tweak its physics a bit, and make Hot Pursuit game around that. Sadly, this game delivers something completely different. No incar view, cars handle like hovercrafts, etc
 
Its an arcade game, dont look for a simulator here, you'll be missing the point, this is more about having a laugh and some high speed chases online, with friends etc and it does that perfectly, its been getting really good reviews

I've got a £10 voucher from EA so i'll be paying £20 for this on release day and i'm looking forward to it, will be a break from the serious online FPS fragging for abit
 
I was hoping it was going to be released on Steam like the previous NFS's. If I start using multiple digital download providers I just know I'm going to end up with a bunch of lost cd keys =/.

because its a completly different company making it
Slightly Mad Studios is an independent British video game company headquartered in London, England. Slightly Mad Studios has over 90 staff who collectively have worked on over 150 games. On 12 January 2009, the company acquired the business and assets of Blimey! Games.[1] In September 2009, Slightly Mad Studios released Need for Speed: Shift with Electronic Arts Inc.

Burnout was a PS2 game, originally it was called 'Shiny Red Car' during development, before it changed and more cars were added. :p

OT: I was annoyed when I got an email from EA saying I could play the demo..only to find the gits were only making the demo available on 360/PS3. :(

I know SMS made Shift and Criterion made HP.And Black Box made 6 NFS games before that.

Doesn't change what I wrote.
 
I'm just annoyed that it's been given the same title as an existing game. It should be called Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 3 if they want to go down that route.
