Live action game trailers are nothing new. It's an easy way for developers to tease their upcoming titles without having to reveal any actual graphics or gameplay. Recent examples of this include Resident Evil 5 and Halo 3: ODST.
So there's a new trailer out for Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, the latest in the NFS series and the third Hot Pursuit title. However, this trailer comes with something special: a spectacular live action realisation of the chase from the E3 reveal trailer.
In the original trailer, we see an epic chase whereby a Koenigsegg CCX, Pagani Zonda Cinque and McLaren MP4-12C are pursued by two Ford Shelby GT500s, a Bugatti Veyron, a Lamborghini Murciélago and a Bell 206 helicopter. This is all realized (presumably) with the in-game engine and is pretty sweet in itself.
However, it's nothing compared to this real-life chase between an orange Zonda Cinque, police issue Murciélago and Bell 206 through the Italian Alps from the game's marketing team. It's the sort of thing that has to be seen to be believed. Watch the video, and let us know what you think in the comments.

Is that "really" real? If it is, it's f%$##@lutely amazing
WOW
It's real action ... One of the stunner is Ben "The Stig" Collin , if not mistaken . Besides that , does anyone know the Zonda Cinque in this video is just a Replica ?
Awesome graphics. I'm getting this game today.
It's live action dude.
The only(?) orange cinque should be in Hong Kong i belive. The helicopter is an Eurocopter Ecureiul. Sorry, no US metal in this movie. :)
This is what "realism-based" gaming is all about...
Amazing video. Makes you dream at such super cars and the sound of the engines it's pure music.
What a scenery! Italian Alps...
better than gt5. and at least you can actually buy this game now.
john, i think you should make the live action title all caps.. most ppl think its cg..
I think its the same location where they shot the 'Quantom of Solace' opening scene.
by the way, Ben Collins is not "the stig", no one knows who the real stig is. And some say there may be more then 1 person who plays the stig.
I'm pretty sure they could retouch the Pagani to orange in video editing. However, I am pretty sure the orange on is in Hong Kong last I heard about it, but I'm not sure it is the only one.
any1 no who sings the song in the background?
