Those of you who are connected to me on Facebook will know that I've been in Stockholm Sweden this week, working out of the EA DICE office. This is after back to back trips to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, London and Portugal too…
Now for the first year or two, this serial travel was quite exciting, but I'm starting to get a bit burnt out here. I've been realizing that I just can't be everywhere at once and need to start pulling back from trying to Speedhunt at every single opportunity that comes my way.
I first had this painful realization this past September. An opportunity came up for me to travel to Italy, to attend shoot that my friends in NFS marketing were organizing with Pagani and Lamborghini.
They had come up with the crazy idea to recreate the cover image from the new Need for Speed Hot Pursuit game as a live action film.
Sounds like a cool idea doesn't it?…. How could anyone pass up this opportunity!
I thought about it for a while of course as it sounds like an amazing project but in the end I just had to say no. I couldn't go to the shoot.
I was already completely at capacity working on Shift2 Unleashed, Speedhunters AND Team Need for Speed… there just wasn't time to pick up another project.
But now when I look at this video I feel just a little bit of pain… I could have been there with my camera as this amazing film was being created. Oh well… What can you do… It's just not possible to be everywhere at once. One can't be greedy right?… Now would you have made the same choice?
Enjoy the vid! It's quite a stunner.
:R
OFFICIAL SPEEDHUNTERS SUPPLIERS
Truly amazing
so great! superb atmosphere and nice music.
Whats the song?
Can watch this Pagani kick out around those corners... all day!
Gotta love the Pagani Zonda. My favorite car out there right now.
Also one of the roads used in this video was the Top Gear World's Best Driving road.
awe
Simply Awe-inspiring
Solid Visuals. Astounding Car Sounds. Weird that they used a Nero's dubstep remix of Im Not Your Toy by La Roux but hey, it works with the video.Enjoyed! Good content from NFS
Simply amazing video. You fail for not going.
that's a pretty solid piece of film! i like it.
it's La Roux - I'm Not Your Toy (Nero Remix) (go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz8cPlh-kP0)
.
@Oh Shizzle: watch the credits next time

Incredible video, it ticked all my boxes! Does anyone know the name of the song in the background?
wow, best video game trailer ive seen by far

i cant contain my excitement for GT5....5 DAYS :O!!!!
That was killer, love the Zonda!!! Thanks you for this
That's so awesome!
Yea that was the most amazing thing I've seen in a while.
Track is La Roux - I'm Not Your Toy (Nero Remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz8cPlh-kP0
LOVE this film! Truly amazing. Not thrilled about the game though.
Song is ''I'm not your Toy'' (Nero Remix) from La Roux, good Dubstep.
The song is La Roux, I'm not your toy.
Pure awesomeness!!!
What's the song? Sounds like some La Roux remix?
This is really stunning. Great visuals, and I loved the choice of the Nero remix.. unexpected but I definitely enjoying finding that in this video. THIS trailer brings back the feel of the original Hot Pursuit and High Stakes... the real Need For Speed games in my heart.
Any possibility of wallpapering Pic 7?
Greetings
The video is awesome +.+
Wow, just wow!!
awesome movie!
What the ?!! You came to Italy and didn't advice?!! This is madness!!
Finally they made something solid, lets see if this kicks out GT5
I would have stopped Speedhunting around the world too.... RIGHT AFTER I went to Italy and shot these incredible cars in person.
Also... is Ben Collins (aka old Stig) the driver of the Zonda? I've seen Ben in a couple of NFSHP videos. Just wondering.
that is so sexy right there
Best video i´ve seen in my life !!! It´s simply perfect...and the song its amazing !!!!
Oh My Gosh... Stelvio with a Zonda and LP560. What a freaking amazing production, Need for Speed has never disappointed.
Epic!
Instead of doing this, EA should invest in their games so they don't come out so crappy. Need For Speed hasn't been the same for a looong time.
The song is La Roux-i'm not your toy (Nero Remix) . I loooooooove dubstep!
I would NOT have done the same. Pagani makes my favorite cars and the Murcielago is close to Paganis in my mind. A horrible waste of an opportunity.
the song is I'M NOT UR TOY
These r real car in video
wow pagani VS lamborghini
wow pagani VS lamborghini
Thats the song guys:

Dubstep 4 win!
Desktop required of the Lambo chasing the Zonda hanging it out!
Just one word -> WOW. This Vid kicks everything, my second favorit is the GT1 Spa Montage. very stunning!!
Seriously no comment love the Zonda
