Well, this is awkward… The audio apparently cut right in the Black Box list of games for some reason lmao
As músicas só tocam as versões instrumentais nos eventos com policia pra você conseguir escutar os policiais falando as estratégias deles, tipo de que lado da pista vai ter espinhos ou se se eles vão chamar reforços e coisas assim, mas no outro modo elas tocam normal, realmente é meio cansativo, só terminei o modo de corrida, to dando um tempo até voltar pra jogar o modo policial
day 6969 of asking for a hot pursuit challenges stream
i like cars they're cute they exist
they also commit tax evasion
The hot pursuit mode songs will always be instrumental because the developers thought the songs may interfere with the police radio and cause confusion.
Yeah, well I wish they just ported PS2 game for PC. Like, it's beyond my understanding of why they didn't ported PS2 version, but instead they ported Xbox or GameCube version. It's like they were thinking that PC can't handle that version or something? Or I guess that it was because of this console wars from back in the days, when one platform gets better version over the others. And so now, if you wanted to play better version of this game, then you have to use emulator. What a waste of time.
You forgot skate by blacknox
There is option to make the vocal versions of the songs to play in Hot Pursuit races.
This was my last favourite NFS because after this they went with the open world route and the maps started to look same and bland. I still enjoyed Most Wanted, Carbon [and prostreet, undercover, shift 1 to some extent]. Completely stopped playing when they released Hot Pursuit 2010 because that was the game where EA removed quick race mode from the series and never brought it back. And I honestly don't give two shits about career mode, I just wanna pick a track, a car and play like the classic nfs games.
Man your videos are just awesome ! Will you ever do a video about the Test Drive Unlimited games?
Make a vid about Carmageddon🙇♂️
Quando teremos um vídeo sobre a Tokyo Xtreme Racer?
Hey!
Personally had the Xbox version and never got to play the PS2 one. I still have a 99% completion save for it too. One tournament I still haven't beat because idk.
Non-instrumental musics will play if you are playing World Championship mode where you will not see a cop. The game plays instrumental versions of the songs in Hot Pursuit mode so lyrics don't collide with police chatters. You can customize the playlist for both modes whatsoever. There are also some non-Rock genre that are disabled by default in both modes composed by in-house EA producer. Brake Stand and Sphere remains my favorites until this day.
Also another tiny detail i loved in this game you haven't mentioned. When you press look back when you have a police car behind you the camera locks to that police car instead of normally looking behind. Looks very cool and full action.
blue tag didn’t mention my mom in this video:( are y’all okay? did you break up?
I dont care what anyone says, NFS HP2 was the last REAL nfs before blackbox got us into ricing and tuning
The last Need for Speed. I really miss that series.
I had skip over this game due to hardware limitations when I was little xD
Will you do a juiced review?
You can change the soundtrack. This game had the EA Trax in the options. you could change which songs would play during racing, hot pursuit or in the menu or you could set them up so you could hear them all the time.
I grew up with the PC version of HP2 and always thought this aged pretty okay. Now that I saw the Ps2 version the first time in high resolution, I have to conclude that this game seems way ahead of its time. The background and surroundings look so much better, like its a totaly different Game.
So many memories of this game when I was a kid. This one, the original hot pursuit and high stakes were the need for speed's I started out on. Then came underground 1&2. Most Wanted and carbon. Those were the days man.
This game is still better than the trash that came out after it, yet not better than the games that preceded it.
Love the setup for the next video, new subscriber!!!
Crazy to hear that the PS2 version was so far superior, I played the original Xbox version to death and thought it was awesome
nice game i remember playing it my first pc a pentium 3…. in 2007
god forbid i am 2 days late to a bluetag video…
This game absolutely needs a rerelease on modern hardware, I still have a copy of the PS2 version and still rate it as one of the best nfs games, absolutely loved playing it back in the day and 100% it many times over, such a good game
Yes, Hot Pursuit 2 is good, unlike many other titles in the franchise that were ruined on the PlayStation 3.
The franchise only shined on PlayStation 2😢
I remember this game from when i was a kid, lots of great memories.
I replayed it last year and it still held up just as well as i remember.
I learned during my playthrough, that the cops will actually bust the other racers and will arrest them which will retire them from the race. Funnily and interestingly enough, on the very last race in Hot Pursuit mode, all of the opponents got arrested and retired and the cops quit chasing after me so I just cruised to the finish line which felt sort of anti climatic but was pretty neat.
Dos needs que joguei no ps2 esse foi oque menos desfrutei, preciso rejogar.
the intro got me rolling
The last NFS with the OG HP-HS formula:
– Had voiced car specs/description.
– Racing Announcer for the car-track-stage unlocks and also for the finishing racing positions.
– Modes based on both Hot Pursuit and High Stakes. (also NFS Porsche in some extent).
– Had main original music made by Rom Di Prisco/Morphadron.
– Had Secret Cars outside the main "career" modes. (Some could be unlocked with Cheat Codes).
– Had the Mercedes CLK-GTR in it's car list.
Black Box did everything right with this game, a port/adaptation which preserved the OG style of NFS while also having a improved handling and AI which became a standard in the later games.
This game is in my top 3 alongside Most Wanted and Pro Street, is my favorite to go against the cops. While not a open world game, still the one with some of the most interesting tracks around.
I really like this game man.
