Over the next few months, Electronic Arts is touring the United States with Criterion's upcoming racer, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit. First stop? New York City!

Oh, by the way -- you might have missed it. It happened already. But the good news is that there's video, courtesy of EA. It features a bunch of people standing in line and checking their cell phones, before getting their hands on the game... and going absolutely bats**t over it. Doesn't matter if you're a NYC local, a hip-hop superstar, or DJ Z-Trip... Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is the best thing ever.

No really, it's actually pretty good. I played it at E3. It's out this November, and I'm looking forward to playing it and going bats**t in my living room.

Looking to hit up the Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit tour? Next stop... Chicago, August 7.

Need for Speed ... Hot Pursuit ??!!?? You mean a remake of the BEST NFS EVER! OMFG I remember playing that game in my win98 machine ... finally those fuckheads realized they already had the formula for a great game, instead of letting you choose the depth of the damn rims or changing all those colors that aren't the one and only "car color". Fuck yeah!

What... The... I can't possibly be the only person that thinks the people in that video look like they are having way more fun and excitement than the game is actually providing.

@Themightylebeau2009

If it was up to me and I had the cash my living room wall would be stacked with games the day they come out. But my budget won't allow it. Certain games give me the "omfg I needs its!!!" feeling and some give me the "Looks pretty sick but I can wait" feeling and NFS: Hot Pursuit gives me the latter. So I will wait till a price drop before I play it or I'll rent it if I get the itch sooner then later ;-)

I'm so f*cking glad that they're rebooting Hot Pursuit instead of making Need For Speed: Midnight Rice Racer 8

I have the fondest memories of HP2 out of the entire series. I agree with superdeeduper51.

@ NptoriousBIG420 - Fair enough, cant argue with that. I used to be terrible for buying anything and everything, but stopped that sillyness when I realised I couldnt be arsed to play half the things I bought.

Ive started renting a lot these days (perk of the job) and I find thats the best way to try them out. But this? I must have this....

It better have complete wheel support. Split Second and Blur are a disgrace for not including it. Blur especially considering Bizarre marked the launch of the offical MS wheel on 360.
