Seeing that a "remaster" for this game has just been announced...
Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010) + Reshade
It, of course, doesn't look much better than the original game on PC, especially when you factor in 16x anisotropic filtering, injected anti-aliasing, supersampling/downsampling and a good reshade preset which are easy additions.
It's coming to consoles which means it'll hardly have above 4x ou 8x AF, and the base console versions also run at 1080p 30 fps (this game runs at 1080p 60 fps easily even on something like a GTX 750 Ti and a Core i3 2nd gen lol).
So tired of these remasters/remakes which are feel more like demasters/demakes. They're basically the same game with a higher resolution for current gen consoles owners, but are never worth it for PC players. The only good thing about it will probably the extra content and achievements on Steam, but you'll still have to buy the same game again, at a higher price (And they've delisted the original, of course. Just like they did with Burnout Paradise). They say they have added in "higher-res models, shadows, and reflections, more objects and props, longer draw distance, boosted textures, more particles, and improved AA/SSAO.", but you can barely tell the difference on gameplays and screenshots and as i've said before, you can make the original game look better while also probably running better as well...
Criterion were great developers and i'm sure they've enjoyed working on these small additions to the game ("all the additional main DLC delivered at launch including an extra six hours of gameplay and more than 30 challenges. Brand new achievements, wraps, car colors, reduced hard stops, an updated photo mode and gallery, and multiple quality of life updates create an even more well-rounded gameplay experience."), but this is not a good remaster.
