The absence of SLR is very strange. EA's phone games Real Racing 3 and NFS No Limits they got it via update. Also is present in recent console games like GT Sport and The Crew 2.
If I remember correctly Forza Horizon 4 leaked car list have the Stirling Moss variant.
So why removed it from remaster?

Honestly, the original was perhaps the best-looking racer that I ever played, on the virtue that it imitated reality to the best of 2010's standards. I especially loved how it managed to conceal the deficits in models' detail with the force of shaders and the colour balance was absolutely spot-on.
It's great to see all of the detail in the game after having been given a higher resolution and antialiasing, but I'm going to throw a spanner out there and suggest that Carbon would have actually been better to see remastered. The PC version of that game hasn't entirely held up after 14 years, but I liked the look of all the content they cut from the game as well as the ultimate scope of the final product.

TMU, the only thing being added post-launch is the car wrap feature according to a couple YouTubers who got early access.

Is there any footage of it? I'm actually not too sure I'll get this one, seeing how I got the Platinum on the PS3 version. It's nice that they're making this great game available for this generation of consoles, but I've already played the original - and thoroughly, too. I think I'll just wait for NFS 2021 instead.

Yawn/10.
Completely predictable move.
This was a great game, I think we could have done nicely with just a friendly "patch" that just improves the graphics and adds the DLC, but nope.
Licensing is a pain, I know. I'll forgive them for that...though wasn't there an SLR just added to No Limits a month ago?
Games as an industry folks. I've gotten quite used to it, I think a lot of people should have expected this by now from none other than Electronic Arts.
I'll wait for a community patch that backports this content to the original...that is IF it doesn't get C&D'd somehow.

My favourite NFS for the best part of two decades. I bought HP2010 after being jaded by the franchise post UG2, but it was way better than I could have hope for.
I'm so into 'older' gaming experiences at the minute; the immediacy of TH1+2, the tried and true Master League mode of PES20 for example. Having an older, more traditional style NFS is music to my ears.

I see new trend that EA has. They started to give us "smaller games" and "remasters" for 40 dollars. Games like Squadrons, Hot Pursuit Remaster (probably Mass Effect remastered) i think this is kind of taking money from people who are not satisfied with new games price going up.

I think it is mostly convienient, Stellar Entertainment is doing the port for HP2010 and they are made up by a portion of the ex-Criterion Games dev that make the game back then and are familair with how the game engine works. They already port/remaster Burnout Paradise for current gen console and also got the game engine running smoothly on Switch, HP2010 looks like a easy next step. I'm guessing MW2012 likely be next.
Don't think it is possible to just offer the game on the PS4 without any extra work to get it running. Probably need to be repackaged like something Xbox did for backwards compatible games but that never happen for this game on Xbox either.

I would assume if Sony, Microsoft or a Dev. wanted to take an old game and bring it back onto the digital store in its full, original creation (last gen graphics, content & all), that licensing & other issues would still need to be re-addressed. I would assume Carbon Motors' current ownership & Merc/McLaren would likely still be allowed to voice their matters on whether they approve their cars being brought back & used as such. It's been 10 years, the people running the show for each marque may have different attitudes towards video games showcasing their products, as evident by the remaster itself omitting them.

This thread actually makes me edgier to try it out, but this drift to turn control. I remember trying demo on PS3, and turned it off after 10 minutes. But everything else looks so juicy. Really have a need in arcade racer
. Just an idea of multiplayer with cops is great, and with remaster it may be at least crowded for a while. Doubt Rivals, as I heard good too, have people playing and Autolog working, and does Rivals have players as cops?

Rivals is like the sequel to Hot Pursuit. You can play as a Cop or Racer, although it's not as fun as Hot Pursuit IMO.

There will definitely be more people playing it since it's crossplay. But you will need friends for taking advantage of Autolog. Autolog is not like common leaderboards. Also tried the original again and I didn't remembered an imput lag. Basically the car is not responding immediately to de commands. You have to turn early. Which is not hard to master but it is a little bit strange. Or maybe it's just me being spoiled with modern games. It could also be fixed for the remaster. Also you will finish the campaign in less than 6h. Online is definitely where you will have much fun.This thread actually makes me edgier to try it out, but this drift to turn control.

Rivals was sadly rushed and it was poorly optimize. So much wasted potential.

I'm thinking I should pick up a copy of HP2010R on release just for the multiplayer. I never really like multiplayer in most racing games but I love the multiplayer in HP2010 back then.
Rivals could have players as cops but when I last played it years ago on PC, most of the players are running around as racers in the open world. Rivals is decent, the single player cop chase is fun and it feels closest to MW2005 for me in terms of its intensity and ridiculous mood.
Rivals multiplayer is less fun compared to Hot Pursuit but I do enjoy the single player gameplay of Rivals more. Hot Pursuit single player is just way too restricted, car choice and classes of every event is locked to a few specific cars.
Wasn't the PS3 architecture to be vastly different to PS4 that no games could just boot it up without significant amount of modification? They probably could do it through PS Now I guess.
