Webster recently made some comparisons between Hot Pursuit and Criterion's hit Burnout Paradise saying that their new Need for Speed game dwarfs the playable area in the most recent Burnout title.

He said in a recent interview on the website: "Put simply, its around four times bigger than Burnout Paradise, for cars to be able to usefully reach 260 miles an hour. So, well over 100 miles of tarmac road and 30-40 percent more off-road and shortcut areas. We've opened a lot of that space up for race and chase, as you are playing versus human cops."

He added: "At night time, you can just turn your lights off and hide behind a bush, something that isn't really achievable with AI. When you include elevation changes, it's a chunk of room. For anyone familiar with Burnout, it's about four times larger."
