Why Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010 OG PC Version) Needs to Be on GOG Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) is a modern classic that revitalized the legendary Hot Pursuit formula with stunning graphics, high-speed thrills, and a revolutionary multiplayer system. Developed by Criterion Games (famous for the Burnout series), the 2010 version injected fresh energy into the Need for Speed franchise, and its availability on GOG would ensure this masterpiece is preserved and playable for generations to come. At its core, Hot Pursuit 2010 brought back the intense cat-and-mouse gameplay between racers and cops, elevating it with breathtaking scenery, licensed exotic cars, and a seamless blend of arcade and simulation physics. Whether tearing up Seacrest County’s winding mountain roads or launching spike strips in a high-stakes police chase, every moment was packed with adrenaline. What truly set it apart, though, was the Autolog system—a feature ahead of its time. It dynamically connected players, encouraging competition through time trials, challenges, and leaderboards. It was more than multiplayer; it was a social racing revolution that laid the groundwork for how online racing communities operate today. Releasing this on GOG would be a win for preservation. The original PC version deserves a DRM-free comeback with controller support, modern OS compatibility, and optional enhancements. The 2020 Remastered version is solid, but many fans still prefer the original’s tone, visuals, and handling. Bringing Hot Pursuit 2010 to GOG isn’t just a nostalgia move—it’s about giving one of the best racing games of the 2010s the permanent spotlight it deserves.

Gran Turismo 2
Gran Turismo 2Gran Turismo 2 is a racing game for the Sony PlayStation and the sequel to Gran Turismo. The game uses two different modes: Arcade Mode and Gran Turismo Mode. In the arcade mode, the player can freely choose vehicles they wish to use, and can enable damage. However, the Gran Turismo Mode requires the player to earn driver's licenses, pay for vehicles, and earn trophies in order to unlock new courses. Gran Turismo 2 features nearly 650 automobiles and 27 racing tracks, including rally tracks. Compared with Gran Turismo, the gameplay, physics and graphics are very similar. The major changes are the vastly expanded number of cars, tracks and races in simulation mode. Other differences include that the player can race events separately, if they don't want to enter the whole tournament. The player is no longer able to "qualify" for each race entered.
