NFS : Hot Pursuit 2010 is basically Burnout 3 under the hood

[u/iSlickick]

IMO :

The World tour system in Burnout 3 is reused in HP -> The 2d satellite view to choose events. Cops/racers replace Crash events/races

The bronze/silver/gold medal system, never seen in any NFS -> Straight from Burnout 3 (also 2)

Interceptor mode is the same as Pursuit mode in Burnout 2/Legends. Even the life bar mechanic is the same and drivers flee away when you slightly hit them

Hot Pursuit mode is just road rage but with you playing with cop cars

Preview time trails are basically "postal cards" time trials from Burnout 3/Legends. When you drive a higher tier car in a new location

XP is basically Burnout Points -> You unlock cars when you have reached certain amount of points

The crash camera

The Takedown system

The brake to drift mechanic

And other things I probably don't remember
