The fact that you used Mazdaspeed 3 and drift in the same sentence is yet another reason to boycott this game.  I know they did this in the Us, but come on, you'd think they'd learn.  The freakin car is FWD, it can't drift!!!!  Sigh.

Ronin: what kind of trouble do you have with PU on XP?

It's been a long time since I had it installed (don't even have a copy any more, but I combo pack is pretty cheap), but I remember it just freezing on the load screen when you first start the game.

Thanks for the advice Zpectre!

Whoa, I really should visit here more often, I didn't notice you had stopped by until now.  
I still have some of your NFs3 and 4 videos backed up, as well as the ultimate NFS PU movie (right here, right now)

Right Here Right Now is still one of my favorites.  I've contemplated trying to do a music video with Most Wanted, but it would mostly be cinematics, with a little driving (mostly the slo-mo "movie" moments), we'll see.

...ok, I feel a little retarded...however what I said about NFS as a whole still stands.  I've already uninstalled it, and I can't say I'm going to reinstall it, there just wasn't enough there to get my excited.

Side question, does anyone have a link to a tried and true method of getting PU or HS to work in XP?

Just played the PC demo, and like many of you, was a long time NFS fan (started with the original Hot Pursuit).  

This game is a complete piece of crap port.  EA doesn't care about the PC anymore, I feel like I'm playing a console game with an emulator.  They keep on stripping away all that we held dear about these games...physics, semi-realistic damage, replays, pursuit (which they brought back for Most Wanted, the only NFS game I've liked since PU)...and now they've stripped the bumper cam.  I can't drive worth crap from the elevated view.  I've been through the options 3 times, I can't find anything about changing the camera.  And to throw salt on the wound, part way through the first race, the game locked up for a good 5 seconds, and then went on its merry little way as if nothing had happened (and don't get me started on the game crashes in MW, even after all the patches).

I am so infuriated by this right now...I would write a letter to EA if I thought it would help...but it won't, they'll keep making crap games for the console kiddies, most of whom (I say most, not all) don't know what they're missing out on.

I'm just going to copy and paste this from Remko's post:
"Then of course, you need a proper replay mode with cinematic camera angles, and the ability to save them."

I'm sure Remko will know what I'm talking about and remember.
