The game itself allows you to skip to the main menu a few seconds into the cinematic, whether it's the original cinematic or just a black screen. As the button prompt is in the original video file, with this method the prompt is not shown and you're stuck on a black screen until you press a button, after the game unlocks skipping and the prompt would have appeared. It's not clear when the game starts reading input, so it's suggested to start bashing the X or Start button or the Spacebar after the car logos disappear. | ||

- All versions require Origin and Denuvo Anti-Tamper DRM.
- The "Polizia" livery of SCPD's Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 has been replaced with a simplified design (Due to the Huracán having already officially replaced the Gallardo in the real-life Italian police by the time of this game's release).
- All downloadable content (sans the Timesaver packs), which are not available for PC version of the original game, are included in Remastered.
- Remastered features much more detailed graphic settings than the original game.
- The majority of the textures are of a lower resolution compared to the original PC release.
- Because of licensing issues, Carbon Motors E7 Concept and both the 722 Edition and Stirling Moss models of the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren are removed in Remastered. Carbon Motors shuttered in 2013 without ever having produced a production model, while Mercedes-Benz has since sold off its stake in McLaren and is now a direct competitor (cars made by either one company still appear in Remastered).

Essential improvements

- While this method hides the intro cinematic, it essentially just displays a black screen instead of it. The game itself allows you to skip to the main menu a few seconds into the cinematic, whether it's the original cinematic or just a black screen. As the button prompt is in the original video file, with this method the prompt is not shown and you're stuck on a black screen until you press a button, after the game unlocks skipping and the prompt would have appeared. It's not clear when the game starts reading input, so it's suggested to start bashing the X or Start button or the Spacebar after the car logos disappear.
ZPatch
- Removes the FPS cap and crash cams.
- Fixes the input delay and collision detection.
- Has an optional feature that unlocks all cars without having to level up and replaces the default driving camera with one similar to GTA San Andreas.

Use the 1080p FMV cutscenes instead of the 4K ones
| Delete this folder[citation needed] |
|---|
On less capable systems, these 4K FMV's will struggle to play smoothly. By deleting this folder, the game will fall back to using the 1080p ones stored under \UI\MOVIES instead. In addition, this frees up space on your drive. |
