I know I am. Unless it gets shitty reviews.
 
I haven't bought a Need For Speed game in years, but I'm thinking this is the most interesting game in the series in a good while.

Absolutely, plus, Hot pursuit 2 was the shit back in the day before all of the NFS underground came out. It will indeed be awesome. 

no, im not getting it :D

As someone who likes racing games potentially more than shooting dudes in the face, I feel obligated to purchase anything and everything Criterion makes.

If it is anything like Burnout Paradise, I'm interested, plus Criterion has had a pretty good record so I'm hoping it will turn out great.

NfS: Hot Pursuit - 10.5 square miles, over 100 miles of open road.
Burnout: Paradise - 26 square miles, around 218 miles of open road - not including Big Surf Island.
 
I don't know... tempering them after Googling these facts. B:P didn't seem that large either. :/ EA really want to win "fugly HUD of the year" too with NfS:HP and MoH (multiplayer).

Nope.

I was a huge fan of Hot Pursuit back in the day. I'm a huge fan of the recent Burnout games. Yet somehow I'm not 100% excited for this new NFS. I hope it's good though.

Maybe not to purchase it, but it definitely got into my interest. Seeing NFS as it is since Most Wanted, that's already saying much.

I have no idea where you got your numbers from, but Criterion has said that the world is bigger than that of Paradise. "

I have never played a Need for Speed game.  But I loved Burnout Paradise, so I am sure I will love this when I buy it.

1. It's another Hot Pursuit game. HP2 was friggin amazing!
 
2. Criterion is making it.
 
Well if it turns out garbage I'd be surprised. And very sad...

" If it is anything like Burnout Paradise, I'm interested, plus Criterion has had a pretty good record so I'm hoping it will turn out great. "

Partially, but I loved the original Hot Pursuit games so that is a major reason as well.

I played the hell out of Hot Pursuit and Hot Pursuit 2. They were, by far, my favorite Need For Speed games. My mind utterly exploded when I saw the reveal trailer.

If it's anything like the first two, I'll get it, no-doubt. Also doesn't hurt that it's being made by the Burnout dudes.

Just type each game's name and "square miles" into Google. Top results. "

I don't know if I'm actually going to get this game or not. I'll probably rent it, like I did with SHIFT. Then again, the NFS games usually plummet in price after a short amount of time, so early in 2011 it might be around £15. In which case I might as well buy it. I'm excited by the prospect of a new Need for Speed game that has an interesting concept - Hot Pursuit 2 was insanely addictive, and then it lost that edge with Underground, and became more about sticking as many vinyls on a wide body kit as possible.

I'm only paying attention to it. Not sure if it's worth a purchase yet.

I doubt I'll be buying it at all.

I'm buying it for this reason and because I really enjoyed Hot Pursuit 2 when I was younger.

Hot Pursuit 2 was the last true NFS game for me and I have fond memory's of it, that said I dont like Criterion's racers so Im fairly down on this game overall. We will see when the game is out.

FUCK YA IM GETTING THIS!

hot pursuit was the shit back in the day so HELL YES.

i am too.

Probably won't be getting it anyway. The involvement of Criterion doesn't mean much to me.

I haven't really decided if I'm getting it or not but the fact that Criterion are making it gives me a lot of hope for the game.

" Absolutely, plus, Hot pursuit 2 was the shit back in the day before all of the NFS underground came out. It will indeed be awesome.  "

I don't get it. Why are they wasting their time making this?

Yes, the only reason why I may get it is because of Criterion and the Burnout series.

" I was a huge fan of Hot Pursuit back in the day. I'm a huge fan of the recent Burnout games. Yet somehow I'm not 100% excited for this new NFS. I hope it's good though. "

If I buy it, which I probably will, it'll be because Criterion is making it.

Now that I know Criterion is making it, I am officially interested.

I think Criterion have had a Cops & Robbers mode in every Burnout game, so this isn't exactly new for them.
 
Until that new trailer yesterday I'd forgotton about it, now it's top of my want list.

Yes, shamefully, that is like my only reason.

Nope. I like Criterion but I have zero interest in this.

I'll admit, Criterion making this game was my biggest initial draw to it, since I've never really liked any of the Need For Speed franchise, and Criterion make 'hella good' racing games. The Cops n Robbers mode in Burnout 2 was one of the greatest things ever - I spent hours playing that with my brother on GameCube.
 
Since the demo dropped, and experiencing how well it handles, how smooth it runs, and the overall feel of the cars, it's gone way, way up my wanted list.

I'm not getting it, but if I were it would be for that reason. 

I like Criterions games, I have been waiting for the next good racing game, so I have pre-ordered this one. I liked the demo. 

no, there is no more new games coming out for my taste. actually I stopped playing racing game long time ago. but this game is kind of interesting with adding social network. Assassin's creed brotherhood PC version is delay, too pissed me off. so I got this game. not bad.

I'm waiting for Shift 2.

That is indeed why I bought it, and for anyone still on the fence, it's damn good.
