Need for Speed Hot Pursuit is the next installment in the Need for Speed series coming this November to [b]PC, PlayStation3, Xbox360[/b] and the [b]Wii[/b] (If you missed out the trailer, be sure to check it [url=http://www.nfsunlimited.net/hotpursuit/videos]here[/url]). The first preview article is [url=http://e3.gamespot.com/story/6265399/need-for-speed-hot-pursuit-hands-on-]up on GameSpot[/url] and it reveals quite a bit about the core concept in the game:
[quote]The game focuses on two different playable classes--the cop and the racer. ... The cop can call in roadblocks and helicopter support, drop a spike strip, or send out an electromagnetic pulse that reverses the racer's controls. The racer, meanwhile, can use a cloak, a decoy car, and a radar jammer to throw the cops off his tail, while the nitrous boost will take you "faster than you've ever been in a Need for Speed game."

...

Another potentially revolutionary aspect of the online package is Autolog, which allows you to connect, compare and compete with your friends. When you're logged into the network, a Facebook-esque friends stream provides you with info on what your contacts have been up to. It then advises you of what to play based on this activity, recommending players with similar tastes, for example.[/quote]

The game is also available for pre-order and again you get a bonus if you decide to do so. The bonus is instant access to Porsche Cayman S and Dodge Challenger SRT8 for your cop career and Audi TT RS Coupe and Chevrolet Camaro SS for when you choose to be a racer. More info [url=http://hotpursuit.needforspeed.com/pre-order]on the official site[/url].





The official website has a Hot Pursuit page up with a couple of screenshots and some basic info, including
[quote]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.[/quote]
