So i'm randomly reading wikipedia pages, and then read NFS 3:Hot Pursuit. In one of the last sentences it says ''A PS2 version was in devolpment, but cancelled''.
So i searched it up, but found no proof. Does anybody have proof of this? Or like articles? Looks interesting.

Well there is a Wii version, so the PS2 version might have been similar to the Wii version like Undercover. Also note that Wikipedia is a website where anybody can edit the articles and put bullshit in them.

Doubt it, the game is a 1998 game while PS2 is released in 2000. Besides, a sequel is already made for PS2.

Â Â Â Black Box wasn't working for EA until sometime in 2001 to develope the PS2 Version of Hot Pursuit 2, EA Canada/Seattle was developing the other three versions. Black Box wasn't even in charge to decide what to do, EA does. A NFS 3 HP Port doesn't make sense because the PS2 can run PS1 games...the PS1 version was lacking content and features the PC version had - that's actually a time when a PC release was better than console release lol |

That brings up a bigger question, wouldn't it have made more sense for them to create a PS2 version of Porsche Unleashed, since it came out a little after the PS2 was released? If I'm not mistaken, Midnight Club was also released in 2000 and it didn't even have a PS1 version.

If I'm not mistaken, Midnight Club was also released in 2000 and it didn't even have a PS1 version. Porsche Unleashed was a flop...it wouldn't have made sense to do either, port/develope an old PS1 game to the PS2 instead of making an all-new game for the new console generation? And a port would been stupid because the PS2 supports PS1 games. EA's resources from the NFS team were into Motor City/Motor City Online and Hot Pursuit 2 between 1999 and 2003... |

I don't know for what this function using in game, but all available buttons use "EnableonDemo=1", hidden debug-menus use "EnableonDemo=0". I found AI config menu, car debug info, and unfinshed car history menu in HS  |

It was once EA bought Black Box in 2001 or so, back then they only had an office level inside the EA Canada building... |

MCO has a Demo mode for the E3 too where specific cars, parts and such are available for the the E3 demo, an additional command allows to purchase/build cars for the demo... |

Well, maybe EA wanted to make an "enhanced" version of the first HP for the PS2 with better engine and graphics, but they decided to create a sequel instead. Something like that also happened from Valve: CS:GO was initially a Source port for the XBox 360. But hey, this is just a theory. A GAME theory! (Sorry for the forced reference.  ) |
