I feel the need the Need for For Speed Hot Pursuit old skool gaming for £12.91 !

spot the difference ? Criterion and D.I.C.E bring back the old skool 

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit is Criterion`s finest , as a game its mechanics take you right back to the original Need for Speed and Road Rash for that matter. If you cannot see changes between the 2002 and 2010 version of the game in the mashup above  , that is the point . For with this game series   the road and scenery though lovely , is really just 3 lines , one to guide you and the other two  twisting and undulating never ending into the horizon . This is your game space , the space in which you need to take down the bad guys or escape the good guys throw in your own music , a free roam mode , and of course weapons and jammers and you have a perfect pure arcade game , there are no major obstacles or short turns  , there isn't even that much traffic or a pedestrian populated town . Anything that could have spoilt the  pursuit or escape game mechanic has been gutted , leaving a pure  zone game . This is genius and very brave  and it all comes together perfectly . 

Astonishing that when every other race driver game is turning simulation to the point you have to get a driving licence to play , or be over 50 and still wearing jeans with a curly hairdo from the 60s  to justify your purchase, EA and Criterion  sat down at the design stage and took the brave decision to turn out a pure arcade thriller . True to the originals game mechanics.


You can also feel the influence of D.I.C.E. in the way the multi player , seemingly open world , competitive and progressive game play structure pans out .  I swear it feels like driving Tanks around at speed on those quaint islands back in Codename Eagle , but  maybe that`s just my rose tinted spectacles acting up again...

And like the movies you can never fail with a good car chase... This is why Need For Speed Hot Pursuit is finding new and old fans  , and myself I haven`t played Gran Turismo 5 since I got NFSHP.. especially since I started playing the game to the Dukes Of Hazzard Soundtrack .although Wagner also goes down well  . so get   Need For Speed Hot Pursuit   now ridiculously cheap in the USA or check below for the even cheaper and more ridiculous Need For Speed Hot Pursuit UK prices 

   

and some video 

Plus the iOS version is on sale at present , and is well worth the price of  the foam latte on your moca choca latte decaf..... check out Need for Speed Hot Pursuit  on iTunes

Carl Zeiss Cinemizer OLED headtracker : F1 2012 played with headtracking

Head tracking is another way the human / VR interface is becoming reality . Racing games can benefit greatly when you get to look around your virtual car . Today I used pppjoy mouse emulation to give me mouse control in F1 2012 mapping the x axes to look left and right. And as on the basic level the Zeiss headtracker emulates mouse control ,we have headtracking enabled in F1 2012.

So how does the addition of headtracking change playing F1 2012?

Driving using headtracking turns this console port into a driving sim , right now I am using mouse emulation to get headtracking , what we need is Codemasters to introduce full axes headtracking to further enhance this series and take advantage of devices like the Cinemizer OLED headtracker . More to follow

 Purchase  in the UK/EU the Zeiss Cinemizer OLED 3D iPack including iPhone adapter and in the USA the Cinemizer OLED ,
