Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 3 Made REAL By Fans! - Hot Pursuit Challenges Mod Review | DustinEden

I like to think some former Black Box devs are on KZbin looking at the NFS modding community with huge pride.

[@CrazyCooneyRacing]

You can never mistake Rom Di Prisco's music soundtrack for the early nfs games. Some of the best driving music ever created!

[@itzybp1985]

Growing up my dad would play the first 4 Need For Speed games with me. Its always been something me and my dad have common and every now and then we'll go back and listen to some of Rom Di Prisco's work. I even got to have like an email conversation with Rom Di Prisco once about how much his music has affected myself personally. All his stuff has such a warm place in my heart and I always love seeing other fans of the series recognize his work

[@michazmuda1477]

I dont think Shift 1 and Shift 2 were mistakes. They were pretty decent, just minor tweaks and with Slighty Mad Studios file structure, they were open for modding and you could tweak these games into better sim experience.

[@CsanadCzToth]

They are not bad games but they are bad NFS games.

[@code_sculptor]

@@CsanadCzToth If they are not bad games, then they are great NFS games of their own era. For me these are the last NFS games I really enjoyed and revisited multiple times.

[@waterheart95]

THhey are pretty good, some fans just think NFS is always arcade or underground style.

[@mbszd6832]

@@CsanadCzToth They were so much fun for me. Might not have been the sim they looked but Grid has been chasing after those games for damn near a decade. Shift 2 is in my opinion the last great nfs game (except 2015). Everyting between Hot Pursuit 2 and Shift 2 (except undercover, fuck undercover) was absolutely magical. Shaped my childhood for sure.

[@AJ6spd]

I even enjoyed undercover as well as nitro back in the day

[@rodracer4567]

This mod feels like it's from an alternate reality where the Underground games were just a temporary jaunt into some 2000s F&F ricer culture and EA decided to go straight back to racing exotics with Hot Pursuit 3 (What Most Wanted became in this reality)

[@markdebruyn1212]

I always see mods as unofficial dlc's and always like mods when they change up the game (even though i can't play them myself)

[@xan1242]

I think that's exactly what the mod is supposed to be. elaymm4 is very aware of the fact that MW was indeed supposed to be HP3 (as it was known during very early stages). EA did plan on alternating between cop and tuner types of games in 2003 but swiftly decided against it because of Underground's success.

[@zzmr_stretchzz8772]

@@xan1242 they should of just combined both like they had the idea going with nfs the run tbh but keeping the NFS customization and a huge car list from exotics to imports to muscle cars would be sweet but itd have street racing and races that are like hot pursuit basically i just want a combo underground and hotpursuit with a bit of the run in it. id like another prostreet tbh aswell but people would bash that to much imo was the best nfs game bets car list most content aswell

[@KasumiRINA]

I prefer the reality where original Need for Speed and Underground are looked as main series, and Hot Pursuit is a weird spin-off. Millions of games out there where you race Ferraris and Mercedeses, far fewer focusing on going through hills in a JDM car, which was the very first NFS, and it peaked around UG2/Most Wanted. 2, 3 and HP2 that had no Japanese cars was a departure from the norm.

[@Toxic2T]

Ricers, that's what happened.

[@junaidmahomed2132]

This looks absolutely awesome. My first NFS was 3:HP and having never actually played a modded game before, I think this will force me to!

Also, followed you on twitch just for this, Dustin. Been a Kuru fan for a few years but only watched a couple of your videos recently

[@marios.3832]

Well that's one right into the flashback feels. I loved HP ad HP2 as a kid, still do in fact. Can't wait to give this a try. This looks incredible. Not sure if it will beat Pepega as my favorite NFS mod ever, but we shall see...

[@De-M-oN]

If it just wouldnt be on MW 2005 engine. This engine has worse netcode than 1998 games and the fps rate is super poor too

[@billymercury3897]

I cant wait for this, thank you so much for showing this mod Hot Pursuit is my favorite sub series in Need For Speed

[@TigerChamp99]

This demo reminds me of MW pre-release version of MW where the game looked more like a new HP game.

[@dalelumina3]

MW was supposed to be like HP *very* early in development (sometime around early-mid 2004), but I don't think we consumers have access to any builds of the game in that stage, the earliest version we have access to is the July 2005 PS2 demo

[@TigerChamp99]

I wanted the Nazca C2 too, but they just added some cars that already existed in the 2nd game. Still great

[@DoVe_7]

Damn this looks really interesting 👍

[@DatOneCat]

This looks amazing. I'm itching to try out this full conversion mod as I have had a ton of fun with the Pepega Mod. I'm really curious as to what they'll do with the customization. Would they just completely lock that section out and keep it to Performance parts and Paint Jobs? Or would there be added extras? Whatever the case, I'm psyched!

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

I'm thinking I should try out the Pepega Mod, myself. I can still copy over another raw installation of Most Wanted, thanks to a zip file I found on Archive (Just so you know, I do own a physical copy of the game on PC, but it's copy protected and I like the convenience.)

[@carenthusiast172]

Very impressive! But at 6:23 it is a Diablo 6.0, basically a facelifted Diablo, not the track-oriented GTR.

[@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious]

And i think this is the VT model, because it was a bit too much stable to be one of the RWD models. But this may just be a thing of the game, cuz MW and Carbon had this grippy handling model as standard, you could only drift properly in the dedicated drift events from Carbon

[@ryanthemostwantedfurry1281]

And memories came flooding in. Man i can't wait for it to come out and relive my memories as a small shit who had no worries or troubles.

[@xion3158]

I am born in 2006 year, but this NFS III game was my childhood game. We played it with father, because it has splitscreen! The most favorite moment was when we, being only two against the cops, stopped at the end of the last lap near the river, where there is an upper and lower road, and jumping between them we collected a very large number of policemen, having fun with the remi and deceiving them. I will download it today!) But it's sad that my dad is no longer interested in games.

[@JinteiModding]

You could also count Rivals as a weirder Hot Pursuit. Played it on PS3 and it is fun

Right now in KZbin, we have a lack of tutorials teaching / showing how to edit, create new tracks to race in MW and Carbon. ( Like we saw in this video, the multi path track and in pepega mod ).

[@christopherortiz9330]

Shift is definitely not a mistake. It was a shift in another direction for its DNA to walk through. Solely focusing on street racing led to Undercover and other flops, as the idea was getting old. That's one reason the Fast and Furious series shifted to action on a blockbuster level, because the gradual decline in box office revenues meant the series needed a shift. Slightly Mad and EA knew racing itself was the DNA of Need for Speed, and the Shift games largely succeeded in that respect because they carried the aggressive, intensely-fast arcade-y and challenging racing the series was defined by.

[@iceclimberswereamistake]

Looks cool but I seriously prefer NFS back to roots, with a mix of JDM cars and exotics, like the first game, Underground, Carbon and Most Wanted are the best era and removing the normal cars you can tune and giving it all-supercar lineup just makes it into generic racing game 234.

I. would buy this game in a heartbeat for 3 reasons . 1 Criterion did not make it. 2. its not a online racer 3. you don't need to waste time searching a map to drive to a race. 4. I seriously hope Ea will pay attention to sales what "Need for Speed " fans really like and want. "US" DIE HARD Oldskool NFS fans want "Original " NFS format back. two-three lap race. not some drifting every corner crap. fans ideal with online service crap to it. (that did not turn-out well) "Need For Speed Challenge" will be the Greatest title since 2005 Mostwanted if it comes to ps4 and ps5. 5. also we like to use Left Analog stick for turning and Right Analog stick for braking and Acceleration again as it was in past PS1/PS2 NFS titles.

MW 2005 has a very terrible engine though Performance is super bad (low fps and the renderer is duplicating frames) The netcode is beyond horrible and the fps lag gets by far worse as well. The netcode is actually much worse than even 1998 games... My heart was so happy until the point where you mentioned its on MW 2005 Engine 😥

When you start seeing Bugatti as cop cars and Police will overtake you no matter what you drive (rubber bending) - game becomes an arcade piece of shit. NSF3 HP was awesome and actually somewhat realistic. Everything else was just too much....

Never liked how the cars 'shake' when still and I never liked how the cars looked doing burnouts before a race. Always seemed stupid to me, but other than that most wanted was okay.
