Yeah they made a hot pursuit reboot in 2010 that was pretty good, just unfinished, so the open world aspects of the game didn't fully work, you could explore the map but it was empty, you had to select races from a menu. Rivals was basically that reboot but finished with all the features. The map was technically new in terms of the road layout, but there were so many reused assets.
god damn, that had to suck
i will say, the hot pursuit i was talking about was the ancient one from 98 lmao
