@EA_David Really?A Livery/Wrap editor in HOT PURSUIT?Back in 1999 when NFS first got custom with High Stakes it mocked custom cars in the intro with that Totaled Civic.Yet here in 2021,22 years later dev team bringing cosmetic custom to Hot Pursuit-the sub-series inline with 90s original games.You already have new games like Heat/2015/The Run with cosmetic custom feature to lure most of[Car Culture] players.Why RUINING HOT PURSUIT with a pointless but popular now feature that most of fanbase for HP don't ask.HP is about high end cars racing each other in STOCK FORM with cops in HOT PURSUIT.Not some punks with fancy pointless livery hatchback.If EA wants 90s era fans' money then do it true to the original when HD an old title or just give it up totally.This is turning HP2010 into what it mocked in the first place.Also confirming future NFS won't see a pure 90s style game ever again.Very bad move bring a very pathetic future of the legendary series.RIP NFS,you will be missed.

I don't think the livery editor is ruining the game, necessarily, but I otherwise mostly agree.

This is the first NFS title I've purchased in 10 years. The last title I bought? Hot Pursuit 2010

HP2010 and this remaster are the last gasp of what made the NFS series great in the first place, IMO; UG1 and 2 threw the series off the rails and it's never recovered, instead opting to be the Fast and Furious of the racing game genre.

I just want exotic cars, exotic locations, cops, and proper wheel support. The first 6 games were a fantastic distillation of the arcade racer genre; no stories, no characters, just open roads and putting the pedal to the metal.

And bring back Rom Di Prisco!

    @Judge-Knite Ironically before UG1 launched the original dev EA Canada(DSI) mocked tuned cars in the HS1999 intro.Sadly now EA is doing the exact opposite to add tuning and chav into HP style games(This update and Rivals in general are good example of this)Also since the disrespectful NFS2015 this second identity became the original,which means games like HP2010 and TNFS-HP2 won't return as a brand new entry unless NFS is on the edge of oblivion.NFS is chasing mid 2000s success but failed badly.The blind chase of past success led to such statement-cars and custom are the beating heart of NFS,without either NFS wont survive to this day as what it is now.With Ghost kinda returns for future NFS,HP2010 HD may become the last Cannonball style NFS we will ever get.
