Click on this video one million times and Hot Pursuit owners will enjoy some DLC on the house!
Word on the street is that Criterion Games' Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is a solid iteration in the Hot Pursuit sub-franchise, a successful return to the series' roots. With such well earned acclaim, it wouldn't be proper for Criterion to walk off and start working on something else. There's still DLC to capitalize on, right?
Right. DLC is something Criterion is focusing on post-launch, and the third DLC pack for the racer might just be careening towards owners for the low, low price of free… if certain needs are met. Over on the NFS: HP blog, a recent post states that if the below video hits one million views by December 12, a three-car DLC pack will be released as a "little holiday gift" to owners of the game.   Â

Doesn't surprise me. Criterion has always been super cool about handling DLC.  Release a couple of DLC installments for free to the players, then when it comes to charge for a big DLC item, player's won't mind as much because of the previous quality DLC they have received.  Those crafty marketers!
Didn't EA do a similar thing with BF 1943? Â It wasn't a video but after a certain amount of total kills in-game a mode would unlock. Â Is this actual dlc or is this content that is already on the disc, just locked away?
Greatest Arcade Racing Game ever. Emphasis on RACING! Â Just love the drifiting mechanics and controls. So tight. So physical. And damn. This game's insane fast. Â Better click on the damn video a couple of times. Too bad it's not more of a music video or I'd queue it up on my youtube workout playlist.
I played this game for about 12 straight hours on Saturday; it's really addicting, especially with all the Autolog stuff constantly challenging the player. Multiplayer is a fucking blast as well. Love it!
Would love it if more studios put out trailers or behind the scenes goodness that resulted in free DLC. Hard to go wrong with that idea especially when it's a game like this or Burnout where there might have been a bunch of cars on the cutting room floor due to lack of space on the disc.
Well, clicked the video, so hope the people who are enjoying the game get some extra content. I'm still not sure if I'm going to get this one, maybe later when the price drops.
