Need for Speed Hot Pursuit Remastered: PS5 vs Xbox Series X Head-To-Head!

Hot Pursuit Remastered launched in the midst of the next-gen console release frenzy, so we couldn't cover it at the time. In this video, John and Rich checks out the game and examine its latest patch that unlocks 4K 60fps gaming for PS5 and Xbox Series X users.

I like how he chose a green Porsche for the Xbox version and a blue one for the PS version at that head to head comparison.

Every game should ship with a maximum mode for future console generations.

The car colour matching the One X and PS4 Pro comparison was a nice touch.

The thing I loved about the original 2010 game (and Hot Pursuit 2 before it) was that they had that Outrun vibe where you're racing cool cars through beautiful landscapes, something missing from a lot of racing games and I'm glad it was mentioned here.

Burnout 3: Takedown needs a remaster so bad. I would lose my shit.

[KineticCalvaria]

Can't make a new NFS that's decent?

Just remaster an old one.

I can conclusively agree with others that the Xbox performance issue was fixed—tested it using the LG OLED VRR info box in both Career and Freeplay, at both 60 and 120 Hz output, and with VRR on and off. No matter what the game never drops frame rate now in that coastal region.

NFS Underground 1&2 deserves a remaster.

These fps drops are even present on the PC. It's a bug that was present in the old version as well. The solution is to uncheck CPU core 0 (Affinity in task manager).

Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005 would be a great remaster.

[Clay]

Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit II needs a remaster/remake based on the PS2 version.

I love how people dislike DF videos when they hear results they are unhappy with... They legit just report their findings? Go complain to the devs/EA

That classic NFS 3 Hot Pursuit soundtrack <3

[Beaut_Beau]

If only they had of remastered Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 from 2002.
It's still the most fun NFS game and could really do with a graphics & performance remaster.

[benkenobi]

I like how they still introduce each other after all the videos they made together. This "special guest"style shows their respect for each other.
Keep on the good work guys.

As a Series X owner, the fact that I expected the Series X to have the better multiplats/back compatibility I am disappointed. The PS5 seems to fair better in most games and all the Xbox fanboys eating up Phil Spencer’s excuses need to grow up and realize there is definitely something wrong. So many excuses and too little results.

Burnout 3 is hands down one of the best racing games of all time ❤️

"The ONE spot"
but since you encounter it over and over again you could call it a "SERIES of spots"

1:18 I like how the music stops when Richard insults Criterion’s modern output

I hope they consider an Underground remaster, the soundtrack was amazing, and it came out when the early Fast and Furious movies were out
