Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, aka the worst kept industry secret right now, could be officially announced very soon indeed. EA has opened up a teaser page on the official Need for Speed website, with the number 510 everywhere and a countdown ending on 5th October.
This follows a handful of social posts from official channels, with images also filled with the number 510 and references to Big Joe's Pizzeria, whatever that means.
Of course, all this might not lead to the long-rumoured remaster. The other option is that this could be the announcement of the next main instalment in the franchise. We know that developer Criterion Games is back in the saddle and is busy making a next-gen NFS title. Whatever this is, we'll find out in a couple of days.

Well at least they know that their garbage at secrets. And kinda garbage in general.
PLEASE THIS IS A JOKE
Are these Need for Speed games still popular?
I assume they are remastering the 2010 edition? If so, no thank you. Both preceeding Hot Pursuit games were miles better imho.
@AbsurdShark It's the 2010 game, yes. (I personally really like it!)
@AbsurdShark I agree i prefer the other ones.
@Wormold Only on Nintendo Switch with the Joy-Con Wheel they released for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
They're always remastering the games that suck lmao
I'd much rather have the older Hot Pursuits than the 2010 one and y'all had all the Burnouts in the world and you chose PARADISE
I WOULD'VE TAKEN DOMINATOR ON THE PSP OVER PARADISE
Forget October 5th.
510 will be the number of real world dollars you'll need to spend on all the microtransactions in the game to unlock all the cars on day one.
It'll also be the number of daily challenges you need to complete in order to get everything without paying any money.
5.10 will be the price of the game in the bin at Walmart in a year's time.
@TheFrenchiestFry Its weird cause all the fans have been asking for a reboot or remake of the underground series and they choose hot pursuit 2010. I agree with the burnout one too. Takedown was one of the best racers ever. I feel like paradise was an easy money maker cause of the little effort needed
I don’t mean to be dismissive but who plays these games? They seem so shallow and dated to me. Like game version of Fast And Furious (wretch).
A side note I’d much rather Criterion made a new Burnout game. The remaster of paradise was ‘ok’ but the earlier games were so much better. Having to push r2 and l2 to initiate the crash mode in an open world setting sucked all the fun out of the dedicated ‘crash’ modes in burnout 2 and 3. I feel like I’m the only one who hates this design choice.
Paradise remains the only EA published game in my library and I don’t ever play it. I would bend my morals a little for Tony Hawk Remaster because of nostalgia.
@TheFrenchiestFry companies often just remaster games which are not that old, but can be easily ported to more modern systems. They almost never pick the best game, just the easiest for them to make quick cash.
Which is why we have Burnout Paradise remaster instead of the better (older) games in that series. The whole open world sandbox thing was so *****. So was lack of proper crash mode.
@zimbogamer completely agree. It would be like Capcom releasing a full remaster of RE6 on PS5. Nobody asked for it.
@MFTWrecks 5.10 is the number of ‘day one patches’ required to make it run.
Hopefully it will be on ea access soon
@Arnna seriously tho what does 510 mean? Am i dumb or what?
I really enjoyed burnout paradise...😔
I wish they would remaster Burnout Revenge even it was on PS2 and they did a hd version on 360, but I'd love to play that again. It annoys me how so many great IPs EA own and sit on and do nothing with them because it's based on earning money not putting out entertainment for gamers anymore
