Why Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010 OG PC Version) Needs to Be on GOG Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) is a modern classic that revitalized the legendary Hot Pursuit formula with stunning graphics, high-speed thrills, and a revolutionary multiplayer system. Developed by Criterion Games (famous for the Burnout series), the 2010 version injected fresh energy into the Need for Speed franchise, and its availability on GOG would ensure this masterpiece is preserved and playable for generations to come. At its core, Hot Pursuit 2010 brought back the intense cat-and-mouse gameplay between racers and cops, elevating it with breathtaking scenery, licensed exotic cars, and a seamless blend of arcade and simulation physics. Whether tearing up Seacrest County’s winding mountain roads or launching spike strips in a high-stakes police chase, every moment was packed with adrenaline. What truly set it apart, though, was the Autolog system—a feature ahead of its time. It dynamically connected players, encouraging competition through time trials, challenges, and leaderboards. It was more than multiplayer; it was a social racing revolution that laid the groundwork for how online racing communities operate today. Releasing this on GOG would be a win for preservation. The original PC version deserves a DRM-free comeback with controller support, modern OS compatibility, and optional enhancements. The 2020 Remastered version is solid, but many fans still prefer the original’s tone, visuals, and handling. Bringing Hot Pursuit 2010 to GOG isn’t just a nostalgia move—it’s about giving one of the best racing games of the 2010s the permanent spotlight it deserves.

Need for Speed: Underground 2
Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.

Need for Speed: High Stakes
Need for Speed: High StakesJust like its predecessors Need for Speed: High Stakes is an action racing game with a wide selection of exotic sports cars and many different types of tracks. The trademark Hot Pursuit mode game mode from the first game in the series is still present, where players race opponents on tracks filled with regular traffic and police cars that chase the racers. The classic pursuit mode is extended with two additional modes: Getaway and Time Trap. In Getaway the player needs to shake off the police in a set amount of time, or playing as the police trap a speeder before time runs out. In Time Trap an entire race needs to be completed before time runs out, or as the police all speeders need to be arrested. There are minor differences between the two platforms for this game mode, regarding spike strips, road blocks, and back-up. The latter for instance is unique to the PlayStation version. The Pursuit mode is available in multiplayer as well and players can take different sides or race together. It is the first game in the series to introduce a Career mode with a set of challenges. Beating these is rewarded with trophies for unlocks, and money to spend on new cars, repairs and upgrades. In the PlayStation version the Career mode is split up into two different sets of challenges: Tournament (required races) and Special Event (optional races). High Stakes in the title refers to races where players bet their cars. In the PC version these are a part of the Career mode when the player owns more than two cars. In the PlayStation version two players can insert their memory cards and race against each other. The winner immediately receives the opponent's car and it is deleted from the loser's memory card right away. In addition to the new game modes it is also the first game in the series to have a detailed physics models. Damage now affects both the appearance and the performance of the car for the first time.
