Re: Updates and content (new cars) for need for speed hot pursuit remastered

@BaselCentenario

Very good point, interesting question too!

This has been already discussed and considered by the community across multiple platforms, and I believe we've come to the conclusion that there will likely NOT be any new cars. Reason being is that this game is a remaster, rather than a remake, so most features are unchanged and not updated.

Not to mention the fact that they already lost the Carbon Motors E7 and SLR licenses, so who knows whether they'd even be able to aquire the likes of the 720s, Chiron, and Jesko...

With regards to updates, we all know what happened to Heat whether we bought it or not, haha. There's hope that Criterion will honour their word slightly better than GHOST, but I wouldn't count on the updates being anything major or game changing, sorry. Here's hoping though!

    Hi there, 

    I would really miss the SLR's in NFS HP is it not an option to regain the license for the cars? Do you then need to pay both Mercedes and McLaren? I would be happy to pay the extra price for the SLR's

    Good to hear it, I love the SLR too. Amazing car!

    Sadly not though, the fact that Need For Speed/Criterion Games/Stellar Entertainment don't have the license means that they legally can't put the car in the game.

    In short, no. Unless they somehow aquire it, which seems unlikely, it can't really be added in any DLC or update from what I know. Therefore, we've lost the SLR...

    There is no possible way of getting the SLR in the game? If I would make a petition to show EA all the people who want the SLR in HP... Would that work? Or like adding it in as a cheap DLC?? I mean EA like to add DLC to a game so why not the SLR's? Them happy, us happy...

    A petition could work, and I'm sure they'd jump at the chance to make more money! But it's simply beyond the control of any of the parties responsible for the game, it seems... 

    Much like with Toyota after NFS 2015, it'd be a case of Mercedes-Benz/McLaren disapproving of the car's use or some complications associated with the process of trying to aquire the license.

    Unfortunately, unless something changes, we're just not going to see the SLR at this point. It's a tragic loss.
