Hot Pursuit has finally hit store shelves, and the developers want you to know that it's got a fine selection of cars and crashing. That's what the gist of this trailer is about, and it shows some of the pretty cars. It also gives a glimpse into the praise that it has received. Overall, though, it's more of a commercial and not really informative whatsoever, so it's a trailer that is easily skipped. After all, it's more fun to learn about a game than simply watch some random advertisement.

Those interested in the creative process behind videogame marketing will definitely want to take a look at this trailer, as it offers great insights into just how much goes into even a simple trailer or commercial. In this case, said commercial is the car chase for Hot Pursuit, which includes the two signature cars for the game: the Pagani and Lamborghini. It talks about the importance of choosing two specific cars to represent the game, how the commercial was shot, and the people involved. In other words, it's a trimmed down "making of" video that's very informative for those interested in the more menial side of marketing.

It's time for yet another Hot Pursuit trailer. This one, like all the rest, has cops chasing down a grievous offender of speed limits and proceeding to attempt to kill them by blowing out their tires at 150 mph. Kidding aside, it's more of the same from Criterion Games, so if you want to see cars wrecking, cop abilities, and going crazy fast, you'll be delighted. For the general populace, however, the Autolog videos offer more excitement and gameplay footage. This one can be safely skipped without missing anything.

More autolog from the Hot Pursuit guys! While the previous trailers have focused mostly on the racing aspect of Hot Pursuit, this one gives a solid look into the police portion of the game: taking out racers through means both standard and strange. Three of the cop's toys are shown in this trailer: EMP, helicopter, and spike strip. Only roadblock is not shown. Beyond the new methods of taking down cars, there's not much to see. It's a standard race, just with car-wrecking goodies and a quota of destroyed street racers to achieve.

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit has been pushing the concept of Autolog heavily, and this newest trailer is no exception. Featuring yet more gameplay footage taken within the context of someone beating an autolog score, it appears to show off more elements of the system, the most notable being the ability to view multiple autologs at the same time. It also shows off a new track that takes place in what appears to be a prairie or desert environment. More of the same, but when your game is all about speed and crashes, you don't need to show much in the way of new concepts!

The folks at Electronic Arts and Criterion have been pumping up anticipation for the next Need For Speed game, and the way they've been accomplishing this is simple: go on tour! Like Madden, EA has been showcasing Hot Pursuit across the country, and the latest trailer shows off the most recent party in Chicago. Full of dancing people, drinks, music, and the game, it doesn't really show much about the game proper. However, assuming the reactions are genuine, it's showing that EA's marketing scheme is working, and that people are getting excited for this game. Us? We don't need a party to get excited!

Need For Speed Hot Pursuit is being remade by the folks at Criterion, so it only follows that their hyper-aggressive tone would make the transition between franchises. Nothing quite sets you up for the raw, unbridled phallus-waving than this trailer, however. Hot Pursuit aims to take the art of one-upmanship and push it even further with the Autolog feature, which is detailed (with game footage!) in the video above.

While there is the characteristic traits of Hot Pursuit, such as cops and roadblocks, this new trailer pushes how you will compete with your friends. When your friend beats your score on a particular track, he can send out a notification to you mentioning how awesome he is. Want to prove your radical attitude right back? Just press yes to accept the challenge and play the course! This trailer is a particularly effective tool for demonstrating this since it shows actual in-game footage.

It's been long known that Criterion has been working on a Need For Speed game, and now we finally know. It's a remake of the third game, with which it shares the subtitle Hot Pursuit. While the released trailer shows nothing in the way of gameplay. We can safely be pumping for this game, as it it both a return to the series' roots and a racing game made by the developers of Burnout. If that's not exciting, we don't know what is.
