This game is clunky garbage. You have to watch and listen to so much trash before you can skip or back out.

I've been searching the net for a no-intro fix (figured there'd be one since the game's been out since 2010), but no luck yet... The UNSKIPPABLE cutscenes in the game are easily the most annoying aspect.

Mine always skips itself when not pressing any button and I need a fix for this because I want to see the intro!

Those unskippable cutscenes can be quite annoying, yeah. I think its done for console versions to act as hidden loading screens, they just didn't bother changing it for the pc version. If anyone knows a way to actually properly skip them I'd be very interested as well.

Have you tried skip intro in Hot Pursuit Remastered?
Theres changed intro and probably are new files to bypass

what other files are there with their respective names that are not skipable but are annoying to view again and again that i could do the same too?

this was bugging me so i wrote a batch script to automatically move all the SPS files to another folder and replace them with empty files, paste all this stuff into a .bat file and run it after creating the backup folder:

REM change the paths to wherever the actual install location is
set "MOVIE_PATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Need for Speed Hot Pursuit\UI\MOVIES"
set "OUTPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Need for Speed Hot Pursuit\UI\movies_backup"

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%a IN ('DIR /B /A-D "%MOVIE_PATH%\*.SPS"') DO (
MOVE "%MOVIE_PATH%\%%a" "%OUTPATH%\%%a"
copy /y nul %%a
)

Thanks, I'll try it out when I try the game again, hot pursuit series has a special place in my heart, especially HP2 played sooo much of with cousins and friends, it's very heartbreaking and disappointing that the this Version is lacking QOL features and sooo many features that the original Hp2 had.

The only thing it did is making intro black, not removing it.

I tried this and it makes the screen go black and then the game locks up. Do you know of any fix for this or some other workaround?
