Need for Speed: Heat trailer reveals the return of the cops and day/night Gameplay

A new Need for Speed: Heat gameplay trailer unveiled today at Gamescom showcases fast cars, deep customization, and the return of the cops. Wait, were they gone?

NFS: Heat will have different gameplay options for day and night. During the day, you'll be able to earn money in sanctioned racing events, although the police will still be roaming the streets and looking to slow you down. At night things get a little more frantic: Illegal street races provide an opportunity to increase your rep, but the police come off the leash. The more your "heat" rises, the more they'll do to shut you down. Hideouts and the garage provide a GTA-flavored avenue of escape from pursuit.
