"I think bringing back open-world cops, bringing back that street racer vibe - I think that's been super important for this game."

"They're really fun. They're out there, they're patrolling. At night they're mainly looking for the illicit street races that are happening, and as you're doing illicit things at night you're gonna build up the Heat. The Heat is our concept of how much cop attention you have around you and in the world, and also how intense the cop chases will be."

"At low Heat levels you're gonna encounter the slower cops, the weaker cop cars - not gonna be that much of a threat, and if you have a faster car it's probably going to outdrive them, which is really fun. The more Heat you have the harder cars you're gonna encounter, and they're gonna be tough, they're gonna be fast, and you're gonna need to use more skill and more battling tactics to get away from them."

"I think one interesting thing about Heat and how you deal with the open-world cops is that at night you can never lose your Heat. Even once you've lost the cops and they don't know where you are, your Heat is still what it was before, so as soon as you get spotted again, that many more cops are looking for you, so as you try to push at night, then that's just building up and building up and building up, and it's really about that risk/reward of trying to see how far you can get it at night while this Heat builds up."
