I just realized something. This one right there, yeah, the one that mfkas call "a best nfs" even better than underground? This is what ruined the whole nfs franchise and brought shit like hot pursuit, run, heat, or whatever the frick else they have been pumping out after, because people eat this shit spoons full.
It's exactly the same story that happens to borderlands. The vision of the game got shifted in every direction expected the one that people actually enjoyed the game for.

how many more remakes does it need? game studios are truly creatively bankrupt
I didn’t play og most wanted because I didn’t like the brown filter over the screen. Carbon is better.
Just download the crack and mod it out dude
It's a fun game
I don't understand complaints like this. The game has a built-in option to remove the filter, you don't even need a mod.
Carbon is a straight up downgrade, with blue filter and blur instead. It's precisely where NFS died.
Filter is whatever and you can turn off blur. Things that actually matter like track design and car handling/tuning are imroved greatly
Filter is shit and the track design is just inferior to MW. Handling is almost the same but now tires squeal every single time you turn.
They only new features Carbon added that are worth noting are the braindead touge mode, that can be easily cheesed and the also braindead drift events, where hitting the walls don't reset the score and you always end with a 10x higher score than your opponents.
>where hitting the walls don't reset the score and you always end with a 10x higher score than your opponents.
kek you can literally win the whole thing with 1 big ass drift on one of those stone driveway sections
Yeah, it fricking sucks. 10-20s is all it takes if you don't care about bloating your score.
>braindead touge mode, that can be easily cheesed
lol
Anon you know that's not fair considering how overpowered higher tier muscle cars are in carbon.
It's not my fault the game is easy. That's a challenge event btw, it's the car the game provides you. Story mod is equally stupid, you just need a heavy car.
>game is easy
Debatable, carbon suffers from a severe case of rubberbanding that kicks in about half way through the game making some races harder than usual if you don't have the right car. Thankfully I was smart enough to use the lotus elise with the stock transmission exploit and blasted through most of the game until I had enough to buy a Z06.
Nah it is easy. Here, just did another one. This was supposed to be "hard" according to the event description.
As for the rubberbanding, people memeing the NFS rubberband but it work both ways, if you are playing like shit it'll suck too. It'll never be truly hard or braindead easy. The point is to just be challenging. But in the case of these touge events, nothing helps because they are badly designed to begin with.
Cross doesn't give a frick anymore huh
I don't get why canon duels had scores, it just punishes you for playing well. Actually scratch that, the scores just didn't mean anything so it doesn't punish anyone.
*canyon
Have you tried actually having fun and not cheesing the game every opportunity you get because you are an depressed autistic min-maxer?
Not my fault the game sucks. MW doesn't have this issue.
Okay now trying doing a non challenge canyon duel with a lower tier car.
>sure but now try doing the marathon barefooted
no thanks
man, it's well known canyon duels are stupidly easy with muscle cars, the game is just broken
snek car BTFOing Darius will never get old
The viper is so insanely fast it's not even funny. You can tell the devs tried to balance it out by making it handle like shit and it still plows through most races effortlessly.
>just cripple yourself and it'll be fun
Are you perhaps a pokemon player?
I hated the fricking tire squeal in Carbon so much that I had to download a mod to make it quieter.
Same. I also downloaded a mod to mute the annoying crew and remove the shitty face cameras. Carbon did some really moronic stuff.
>It's precisely where NFS died.
Nah.
Most Wanted is Sonic Adventure.
Carbon is SA2.
Pro Street is Shadow the Hedgehog.
Undercover is Sonic '06 of NFS.
>he didn't like the brown filter
it is peak sovl
>zoomer
>pleb
many such cases
How do you know it's better if you didn't play the one you're comparing it to?
it's basically underground but if it was better
>hot pursuit, run, heat
then how come those games are much worse at the thing they are imitating
They are a distillation of the ideas that most wanted initially brought in. Again, just like with borderlands 1 and 2, only the wrong ones.
Racing was solved by underground 2. Whatever happens it's a deviation from the formula, or rather "exploration of new narrative focused concepts" as corpo would put , a deviation that no one asked for and like, only then praise and cheer its initial growth without realizing.. to this day.
Underground was already Blue: the movie. Police pursuits were a step back in the right direction
Underground was a trend chasing deviation from the original NFS formula.
Ricergays crying about NFS changing will never not be funny.
However, Need for Burnout: Hot Pursuit was not the way forward.
That said, I enjoy NFS from 2SE through ProStreet, and I appreciate Shift.
For a major franchise the fact that they were ready to experiment as much as they did was commendable.
>remakes
>remakes
>rEMAKSE
>REMAKES!!!!
I fricking hate -everyone- who buys a remake of any sort.
Tbf a ~20 year old game could use a remake but constant remakes with games like tlou and Skyrim are pretty obnoxious.
>2024
>People still dont know the difference between a RE-MAKE and a RE-MASTER
This is why we are the b***hes of corporations..you are not smart enough not to be
I pirate but probably true
you just dont get it
it already had a """remake""" in 2012 and it was shit.
no reason to believe that this one is going to be better.
That's just Burnout under a different name. The worst bait in gaming history.
that wasn't a remake, stupid, it was "make a new entry in the series but refuse to put a number or subtitle on it because frick communicating effectively, that hurts profits" game
2012 was supposed to be a direct sequel to most wanted but criterion binned it and just turned it into a reboot instead.
We were robbed of pure kino.
>Criterion
It was going to be another Burnout reskin anyway.
MW's physics were fricking dogshit too. people like mw for the atmosphere.
wrong, I like it specially for the driving mechanics which are peak arcade
You mean 2012?
Already posted
Carbon was a sequel to Most Wanted though
better than original tbh. frick (c)rap and shitted on shitboxes.
frfr no cap
t. started playing nfs with underground
Hot Pursuit on PS1 actually
Still one of my favorites because it doesn't have all the story bullshit.
It's called REMASTER you shit brain zoomer, kys
>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T JUST REMAKE A CLASSIC GREAT GAME WITH MODERN QOL FEATURES
have a nice day you moron. Remakes are objectively good. I'm fricking glad the industry realized that it already peaked long ago.
no, you have a nice day you bottom feeding homosexual
I hate mw so much. it's just not fun to drive or race in this game in comparison to great underground 1 or cool as hell carbon. Police pursuits ruined nfs since every new nfs is all about police pursuits and whole progression is tied to it
I hate Underground babies so much.
same. fricking neck all of them
>you know this game, that is the peak of the series? yeah well this game is actually shit because after it only shitty games came out!
>Underground exist
All I want you to do is to admit most wanted was equivalent to woke movement back in 2010, whic brought up disasters consequences we live in today.
MW is better than underground, and that last part - complete gibberish.
Than this
is what mfkas like you deserve.
>All I want you to do is to admit most wanted was equivalent to woke movement back in 2010
Alright timmy, it's finally time for you to log off. This site is 18+ anyways.
is Ganker ready to admit that MW2012 was actually kino and based?
?si=ZzeS5CtRT6jvVdZe
never attempt to speak again
You have to be at least 18y/o in order to post here.
If it was called anything but most wanted it'd be better received it was an okay game but the bait and switch made it hated.
I remembering it running like shit, being buggy af, and maybe even being always online
Not only it plays like a shitty burnout, but also have zero charm from MW.
PS2/WII undercover is more MW 2 than this.
Frick EA and their moronic method of copy/pasting names of better games and slapping them on shitty inferior new products
Especially Star Wars Battlefront 2, that name didn't deserve to get pissed on with a lootbox infested 2017 release.
Wasn't this game basically Nu-Hot Pursuit 2?
just burnout, unfortunately
Rockport was pretty well made from what I can remember but that's it.
A 6 minute intro that covers basically everything and jumps right into the game is pretty cool. But I felt my soul die inside with the car swap mechanic.
Worst Burnout.
>remake
Why would they even remake it? It's a very mid-2000s game. I love it but everything is dated as frick. I hope they at least make the m3 actually fast, I hated how I already had 2 faster cars by the time I got it, they also should make the ai actually good which I doubt they will
The only thing that didn't get dated is the cars handling. I still to this day can't comprehend why they moved past it in the modern games, and keep forcing us to use brake to drift.
Didn't they already make a remake a few years ago?
>again?
>wait no, that was Hot Pursuit
>wait no, there was MW Remake after HP Remake, it just was shit and noone talked about it
What a wild ride.
most wanted, my beloved? i will get 10,000k copies!

it will play nothing like the original and will have half the content locked behind DLC or not in the game at all
The blacklist is now called the denylist

Nothing will change. MW was woke years ago.
Also Mia TOWN-SEND. It was there all the time
can youtfit your drive with guns like bond cars, its now a battle royale
>its remake of the 2012 version
It's funny how they intended to make Most Wanted 2 but then EA scraped everything so in the end we got a sterile game with a misleading title
Junkman parts will be randomised lootboxes with payed keys
Free car marker/impound marker/visual markers will all be payed
half the car roster is gone and will be added through dripfeed content
You already said that on the last thread and got btfo.
Underground also changed what NFS was, Hot pursuit did too. Its a great game and everything afterwards is not its fault
What did I say, and also, I couldn't have gotten btfod since what I'm saying here is objective truth.
don't care
still playing the original
never playing the remake
simple ass
>liking carbon
it's either most wanted or underground 2, carbon was a bad game
>hating on Carbon when it had canyon races
wiggity wack
Carbon was okay, but more as expansion pack from MW.
Also pursuits on palmont are terrifying due map layout.
Carbon had the most fun drifts
It's fun but too easy to actually be engaging
>turn left or right to awesome
nah frick off
day 1 - if it's in VR and I can use shifter/pedals/wheel
underground 2 was my fav as a kid but playing it now i can see that it's really fricking repetitive.
i swear they make you do the same URL race like forty times.
I played through all the 2000s NFS games recently and MW is objectively the best. Underground 2 is the most overrated and way worse than I remember.
I remember really liking hot pursuit 2 back in the day. Downloaded it couple of months ago, played one race and said this shit blows. I wonder if the other games suck or it was just this one, mw was good tho
you disgust me
it's good but i played it on a PS2 emulator. maybe the pc version sucks.
I did play it on mouse and keyboard, I just didnt find the handling intuitive and fun
PS2 version is superior in most ways. I believe it's the reason black box took over the franchise
>Blackbox make the best NFS era
>Got choked by shitty deadlines and constant naggin from beancounters to sell more.
Damn.
>be EA
>see studio doing well
>shove it into game as service garbage (NFS World)
>kill it
why are the like this bros
Chasing the dollar.
Just look at Warner Bros.
Suicide Squad bombed so hard that the only thing that bombed harder was Skull&Bones.
Hogwarts Legacy was the best selling game of 2023 if I'm not mistaken and it made them boatloads of money.
But because Fortnite is making so much more money they'll keep trying to create Fortnite 2.0 no matter how many studios they need to grind through in the process.
EA has had this mentality even before Fortnite was a thing.
"Game X is making a lot of money, we need our own Game X."
everything makes more sense when you assume they hate us. they keep doing shit that does not make them money just to spite us.
That's not what happened. Black Box studios were imploding from within in the late 2000s. Had nothing to do with EA.
>had nothing to do with EA
>On December 19, 2008, EA announced that it would be shutting down EA Black Box's Vancouver studio location and relocating operations to EA Canada's Burnaby facilities, as part of EA's worldwide consolidation plans. Officials stressed that EA Black Box would remain open, and said they expected the move to be completed by June 2009. The studio remained a part of the EA Games label, and was independent of the EA Sports studio also located within the Burnaby facility.
>In February 2012, EA confirmed a number of lay-offs at EA Canada and EA Black Box, and that they were transforming the studios towards "high-growth digital formats, including online, social gaming and free-to-play". EA declined to comment on whether EA Black Box's brand would remain.
>In July 2012, EA Black Box was renamed Quicklime Games during the development of PC game Need for Speed: World, under which name it operated until its closure in April 2013.
ok anon, then what happened? Because everything points to EA mismanagement, as always.
Blackbox died because The Run sold shit. NFS World was made by a small off shoot team originally from Blackbox and eventually called Quicklime Games.
>playing Underground 2
>it's pretty good
>reach mid-late game
>URL and Street X races everywhere
Blackbox games are really padded towards mid to end, raking ton of early bounty on MW ensure you have less headache late game.
Personally I found the early game bounty targets more painful. You're locked to heat 1 and 2 where you almost have to obey the speed limit so the cops can keep up
Feels like game is really balanced around high heat, carbon fixed that by throwing more cops at you but then create another issue.
Which Most Wanted are they remaking?
It's going to be shit regardless, their current driving model is ass.
There hasn't even been an announcement or even proper leaks of a remake has there? Just a bunch of fake trailers and such over the years.
>Having a big ass bounty and ton of flying pigs.
>reset because random ass spike stripe uphill.
Shoulda paid attention to radio chatter and minimap
I did, but sometimes is really hard to avoid, specially on heat 5.
someone should make an infographic with all NFS from 00s and 10s pointing out most wanted is the best
Why is rivals so disliked? It's pretty good
>hey bro you see this game? it's your favorite game
>we're gonna "remake" it, make it as shit as possible on purpose, but mask it as our own incompetence, and we're gonna make u pay 60$ for it
>also we're gonna keep doing this to every single good game ever made
we should kill these homosexuals
remasters or remakes should not cost more than $40, hell or even $30
>removes cars because muh license
>removes music because muh license
>removes ad brands because muh license
>removes the cutscenes and acting because muh license
There, I saved you 69 burgers and 99 fries
The series didn't get ruined.
They just ran out of ideas.
Your standards were raised as you got older, you had no nostalgic attachment to the new games, which in turn had nothing new to offer you. There is no reason for the series to still exist yet they insist on borderline annual releases. And the industry demand everything be a franchise with endless sequels.
If Unbound came out as the follow up to Underground 2 it would be remembered as one of the greatest arcade racers of all time. And if MW came out after, it'd be forgotten.
Wrong. It's one of the best NFS games and the others you mentioned had nothing to do with Black Box, the studio responsible for all the good NFS games.
EA happened to the series, not whatever is your headcanon.
I AM ROCK
IT AIN'T NO BREAKIN' ME
>Console versions disable traffic on high heat due performance.
>PC and 360 still keep it enabled.
>MFW learning to use traffic as battering ram due how physics are calculated.
Pro street is wildly overhated and severely underappreciated.
That game need actual remake/remaster far more than MW
Fight me on it
just finished carbon. anyone try the battle royale mod? i'm going to play that next
Has some cool shit like new cars but it’s bloated as hell. Like for example does every car part need 3 performance stages for every tier?
HO
IM LIKE
HO HO
IM A FISH YOU CAN TELL BY THE HOOKERS AND FINS
I wonder how many people found how speedbreak actually works besides giving you full control of car.
You mean increasing weight to ram stuff?
Yeah its global, your car stays grounded when going hills or drifting offroad ,not mention less speedloss on obstacles.
Its kinda broken.
I noticed this back in the day and I would use mini speedbreaks to gain some advantage on certain situations, like when there would be a jump or when trading paint with some opponent. It really is OP once you figure out how it works.
it's fun when you learn how to use it
Fun ends here.
Funny since I just almost got brutally SUV'd
>that instant 50km/h reverse
Transmission status: not transmitting
M3 look random as shit considering that EA had porshe license or could use a better race car.
But boxy ass design do wonders on gameplay and chuck pigs like a champ.
It looks pretty unique and it's a rare car. Porsche all look the same and people were seeing JDM everywhere at the time. It was a good choice imo
BMW literally btfo porsche so bad in the american le mans series they had to bribe FIA to change the homologation rules so they would stop losing. I think it's pretty obvious why they chose such a legendary car.
heh
I hate porsche so much it's unreal, glad bmw had enough balls to say frick you to both them and the FIA by entering a car that wasn't even allowed in the series in the first place just for the shits and giggles.
BMW build this thing with the sole purpose of racing actual street-legal production cars. Kinda gay tbh.
what you mean, we made 10 of them and they are all street legal ;^)
BMW never gave a shit in the first place, they literally entered the car just to say frick you to porsche.
Quite based, but i heard that street version have lot of issues.
It's definitely a BMW
The strassenversion was a weird amalgamation of things from the bmw parts bin. But mostly it was just an e46 with the detuned engine from the race car and an aero package.
BMW owns all three (3) production cars themselves. Any talk of "issues" is just zoomers speculating based on nothing.
They were also individually hand fettled from regular M3 bodies, it was never intended to be manufactured in any scale whatsoever outside of the race cars and a couple of street registered bait cars to technically qualify under the then-current ALMS rules. It's an interesting parallel to the 911 GT1 program where Porsche pulled the exact same shit of dropping a bespoke prototype in a series intended for production cars, but at least 25 of them were actually manufactured and sold instead of technically offering one for sale.
Why did they want to say "frick you" to Porsche?
Porsche has a massive legion of rabid fans and they make good enough cars too. They dominate motorsports by sheer numbers alone, in the series that the M3 GTR raced in, almost every team was driving Porsches. I think there was also an Aston Martin and a Calloway team, but the rest were Porsche.
Porsche drivers are also insufferably bad at driving. buttholes may drive BMWs, but Porsches are driven by the morons who start traffic jams. If you've ever played a sim-oriented game like gran turismo, you'll figure out why everyone hates porsche in a single race.
I don't know how they really are but in GT I found Porsche's particularly difficult to drive. Cut the drivers some slack
I will not.
>build this thing with the sole purpose of racing actual street-legal production cars. Kinda gay tbh.
First time learning about homologation specials?
My favorite homologation special is the 2016 Ford GT. They turned up with a prototype car in the GT class.
Imagine how that class would have looked without bop for those couple years.
Lmao you can literally just take these out with a sideswipe using speed breaker since it increases your cars mass when using it.
Depends of car and not always you have a warning on map. Lighter cars just get ragdolled even on speedbreak.
Friendly reminder that both in most wanted and carbon the M3 GTR uses the sound from a TVR cerbrera since they couldn't get a hold of the actual car for recording.
doesn't carbon use the real one?
It uses a different sound byte for the transmission whine, the main engine sound is still the cerbrera but mixed in with another vehicle.
>zoomoids need to ruin another good game
>Condition is now level 5
>remake
God I'm so sick of this shit, why not just port the game over to newer consoles and call it a day?
HP 2010 was so good.
Carbon was the peak. Most Wanted was 1 step forward with police chases, and 5 steps back on everything Underground 2 established. Absolutely no reason to explore the open world. Zero reason to engage with the police chases unless you were doing the Pursuit Challenges you needed to progress the game (which were all one of 4 repetitive tasks except number go up). Oh boy, I can't wait to dodge 40 spike strips for the 15th time for two hours because the game put an arbitrary roadblock on my progress for shameless padding because they cut 4/5ths of the content from Underground 2. Reject Most Wanted, embrace Carbon.
>Oh boy, I can't wait to do an URL race for the 15th time for two hours because the game put an arbitrary roadblock on my progress for shameless padding
At least Underground 2 had more than 3 race types
lmao dude the longest ones are maybe 25 minutes long
I fricking hate URL. I wish there was a mod to remove them.
There's this one that makes them 1 lap

nfs heat was great, just too short
more like nfs in the heat
garbage zoomer game
it wasn't that bad
If they remade underground 2 I wouldn't play it unless I got paid to do so.
to argue in good faith, yes I do agree that most wanted has way too much padding.
imagine caring about nfs with carx street around the corner
>look up
>some mobile shit

Great argument. You really convinced me CarX is worth playing.
Seriously, sell me on it because right now I'm not at all motivated to pay $20 for a free mobile game
another moron
funny autist
funny schizo
can't wait for them to neuter the sound of the carrera gt like all recent racing game devs have decided to do to all their engine sounds in recent years
the scream of the carrera gt is the one thing in mw 05 that will make me shit my pants every playthrough, at the part of the game where they start showing up in races and you don't have a goddamn thing that can compete yet unless you cheesed pink slip selection to get the lambo and added junkman parts
They picked the wrong game.
That's not GTA
>Hot Pursuit
Not remotely based off of MW. There was NFS3 Hot Pursuit, High Stakes and Hot Pursuit 2. Hot Pursuit (2010) was just a Burnout clone because that what Criterion does.
>The Run
Not like MW. Not open world, and the driving being bad was because they were experimenting with using Frostbite.
>Heat
This is like MW. Except the thing that made MW good was the indestructible player car that allowed for players to toss cops around like they were nothing. I'm fine with having a health bar as long as I can get quick repairs. I think MW (2012) gave an okay attempt, and Rivals did well to make chase fun but that was more like Hot Pursuit chases. What MW fans want is the ability to send cops flying again with little consequence to their own vehicle.
I enjoyed MW more than Underground for one reason. It has cops. Underground 2 was good for being the first open world game in the series and Underground's unique customization features should be standard in all racing games at this point.
This body kit goes way too hard
I prefer this one on snek car
Personally I hate the trademark Dodge grille but to each their own
For me it's him
And mystery homie for late game, of course
Porsche Unleashed was the best NFS. No need to @ me.
I like how NFS threads often start with some moronic OP shitting on a specific game and everyone just ignores him and starts discussing the games in general
what did you think of unbound?
gay
that was fast
gotta go fast
Why does the model for the M3 GTR look so off in the newer games? Did they hire pajeets to do the models like turn 10?
Because isn't GTR but rather the street version.
too many NFS threads and not enough Colin McRae Dirt threads tbh senpai
I don't even want to think about Dirt after they turned it into Ken Block Rally
Just came here to mention that the remake rumor was debunked unfortunately
What was it?
Why?
But if it happened, what would the hero car be?
Hi I'm Josie Maran and I play Mia in NFSMW. Make you sure you do all you races in the game, on the street wear your seat belt and drive responsibly.
I don't play video games so what's even point of this thread?
frick you I liked 2015 NFS except for the cringe cutscenes.
night driving was kino
you liked it wrong
cringe cutscenes
cringe break to drift
cringe handling
cringe events
cringe music
cringe always online
the mountains are really fun to drive in, way better than carbons attempt.
the only good thing about that game was the graphics, everything else was bad
Last good driving game was Burnout 3: Takedown
That was just the last time your life was worth a shit.
im just not ethnic is the thing
>Finally unlock mustang.
>Get utterly disappointed you can't use Razer vinyls.
Car also drive like a bathtub.
Just use extra options, besides the mustang is shit anyway.
Yeah I have it already, but playing game back on 00 was a different experience.
But mustang is good for pursuits due weight and size.
Corvette is better, accelerates way faster and weighs almost the same.
You can get one from israeliteels, which isn't bad either.
Baron porshe and Corvette/Viper can carry your ass through end game tho.
Jewels mustang is literally the same as one you could by off the car lot. It just has the performance upgrades that aren't unlocked yet and even with junkman parts it's slow compared to other cars.
again?

i'm an expert in what the average NFS fan needs in a game
O button on playstation B button on xbox is now the tiktok boom sound.
You no longer have a boost gauge, you now have a melanine meter. Fill it by being on the fleek and getting hyphy with your crunk.
All user music will be monitered. If the n-word isn't said by a groid every 7 seconds, OR any lyrics are understandable and not muddled behind shitty fruityloops kicks and cymbals the game will stop and the user will have to take a knee for george floyd for 30 seconds.
Game now has an option to play itself in half-screen mode while someone traumadumps a made up story about how their girlfriend kicked them out of the polycule because they didn't get a hug from their father
No white characters. All light skinned black characters are friendly, all dark skinned characters are evil.
Winning races is no longer required. The character can now just do donuts in a circle and aquire points. You get multipliers for every fat latina girl hit
Revised car list now includes volvo wagons, Cadillac escalades, Kia souls, hyundai velosters, and of course, the porsche taycan

No more credits and currency. all cars will be gifted to the player in 12 car slot machine rolls after every event. Additional rolls are avaliable for purchase from the cash shop for 15.99 a month(Min 12 months) or 7.99 per month pro pass which brings each spin down to just 3.99 for the first 3 per month.
Less intrusive anti-cheat now ONLY requires a constant webcam with facial recognition, live mic feed to check for any banned words or phrases, copy of IRL drivers license submitted to EA servers for verification, EA Protect now only scans 3 times per hour for sytstem specs and uploads to EA servers during loading screens, and finally a valid credit card to bill any language or competing software infractions directly to card.
wtf we have a criterion insider right here
>hot pursuit
>hot pursuit 2
homie, they were released and beloved well before Most Wanted was a thing.
Are you talking about Hot Pursuit (2010) and the Hot Pursuit 2010 (remaster)?
Also, U2 and MW2005 were peak NFS.
>EA remasters Battlefront

Hmmm, easy money lol.

MW balance is all over the place, carbon gets a little better but then most muscles completely outclass everything but EVO lancers.
>Shame you get banned on any modern game by using a orange one
Good. I'm tired of every Charger, every Delorean, every AE86, every Trans Am and so on being a pop culture replica
There's a dude in my town that drives a replica of the General Lee. I saw him cut off a black Hellcat and I knew he was legit
Need for speed works far better with mostly point to point races but they’ll never drop the open world meme at this point. Not buying, will never purchase EA slop ever.
wrong
I use the Toyota Supra for the entirety of the game and get it to max with Junkman parts because it looks like the car from Cruisn' World
The supra is disappointingly slow in most wanted.
Will we ever see Toyota again in any new NFS game?
Hasn't the 86 been in every game since 2015?
No. I think you meant the BRZ.
There's gotta be a term for something that was an incredible innovation but copycats didn't know what made it good so now the market is flooded with badly made copycats of that original good thing and everyone blames it. Happened to Doom, happened to Half-life, happened to Halo,
It was a right place right time kind of game. They can't recreate the magic like that.
Tad amusing how it's always MW variant, never actual race ones.
not even the best replica.
> that mfkas call "a best nfs" even better than underground?
>all this NFS dickriding and still no Midnight Club III: Dub Edition remake
That's probably one of the least likely games in existence to get a remake due to the amount of licences involved
That's fair. A free-roam arcade street racer on a similar scale with customization mechanics is really all I want. Good thing the original is easy to emulate.
It better have nu metal.
It will have Meshuggah and Sleep Token.
>Finally an proper adult with money
>Most of cars from that era are unaffordable or unicorns.
Frick. Playing the game is free at least.
You just need to know the right people, I bought my foxbody from a friend for piss cheap.
get a peugeot 206 ;^)
The GT-Rs and Supras are unobtanium but if you're willing to go down a tier or two the 350Zs and Celicas weren't hit as hard with the ricer tax.
Alternatively you could go for a less memed trim like the Skyline GTS-t
Its better than underground solely because the movement is actually faster
if it's good im gonna pirate it
i've played through the og at least 20 times by now, it's my fav racing game of all time
They think this is a good idea how? Most wanted is a very mid 2000 game, with all of the mid 2000 stuff like hot chicks for example, stereotyping and banter. How the frick do they even think this is going to translate decently? This is going to be marketed as the most wanted for the "new" generation, it won't have anything that we liked about the original game. Hard pass for me.
Carbon is better, best NFS.
Undergound 2 aswell.
MW is good but its the american slop of the 3.
Where is the Soul compared to U1-2 or Carbon?
carbon zoomers are funny, I bet most of them started with a xbox 360
My first nfs was high stakes.
My first NFS was The Need For Speed on the PS when you put in a cheat code to get the best car. I prefer Carbon over Most Wanted.
you lost
I'm winning. You're losing
I won harder, you lost forever
>NFSU sold almost twice U2
wtf I thought U2 was much more popular
It is now but back then UG1 came out at the beginning of the ricer craze so everyone snatched it off the shelves. UG2 came out when it was starting to die down.
homie it was a year apart, ricer culture was dying by Carbon
underground 1 is still peak nfs game, no boring cop stuff, no empty open worlds, peak handling, second best speed feeling (after pro street), decently challenging, has decent car customization, great progression system.
U2 and MW are better, but feel free to be wrong
cant wait for another no content, woke, bad graphics NFS game. Just what we need.
i still don't get how BMW was allowed to homologate the M3 GTR for racing in the ALMS
They didn't homologate the car until right before they pulled it from the series.
then how were they allowed to race?
did 2001 ALMS regulations say nothing about the engine design? that's unreal
IIRC the ALMS was not well regulated and BMW just entered the car to see how long they could go before someone noticed that they weren't using an actual production car.
>In 2001, ALMS regulations stated that cars must be for sale on two continents within twelve months of the rules being issued. To fulfill this rule, BMW put 10 road going GTRs on sale after the 2001 season, for 250,000 euros (then $218,000) each.
>Start shoving mods on MW.
>game keep crashing.
>Fixes just make game less crash prone.
Frick.
Check what versions you're using and what mods you have. A lot of shit conflicts these days.
MW fixes handle most, if if you have police mods it may start crashing even with it when game start spamming roadblocks.
I think there's a fix for that in extra options.
I'm a racist
Oh yeah? Which is the master race?
NFS World Loop
Seaside Interchange
that one with a shortcut you jump twice, I think it's close to a police department
you know which one
That shortcut is not only a piece of shit that flips your car more often than not, but it also skips one of the most fun series of corners on the map
That's Diamond Park
speedbreaker
Speedbreak don't really solve, specially with front heavy cars.
do it right
ahem
I don't remember mw having draft lines.
You mean that "air" behind the spoiler? The Xbox 360 version has it, there's a mod that aims to restore the features from that port.
https://nfsmods.xyz/mod/1200
The 360 port didn't have draft lines, you're thinking of carbon.
Nope, the 360 port uses the updated engine, it's probably very close to Carbon's
I'm still mad the best version is stuck on 360. Frick Microsoft for buying it as a launch title. You can't even emulate it since Xenia fricking sucks.
What the frick I strictly remember that being in carbon.
Most of 360 stuff got ported. PC is middleground between Console and 360.
Not bad unless you are really autistic about few stuff.
Not really, PC is simply the last gen version. It's missing a lot graphically, you can't even import some shaders since the engine is outdated. The dev working on that mod had to do a lot of reverse engineering to bring some effects, others are just impossible to port, according to him.
It do have few more stuff that get gimped due console limitations, but yeah MW 360 is better as base game.
Nurburgring 24 Hours.
>literal NFS killer
>vee pretends it doesn't exist because it has a discount mobile version
literal who
Let me guess, it's some always online shit full of mtx
it will be this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2Wm281OHOU but open world
after the latest NFS games i seriously doubt it will be any good.
>Nfs isn't about cops
>The key value proposition of nfs was modifying cars
Jesus fricking christ there were 6 games before NFS became what you think it was and that form of NFS started fading away after only 2 entries.
I love Underground but don't you dare act like you know what NFS is supposed to be
Sure, there's plenty of entries - but were they culturally significant? No
EA somewhat know this, as with their 2012, 2015 and unbound attempts at reviving the franchise to its (commercially successful) roots. But the DIE suits stuffed that all up and made another generic open world RPG style game barely distinguishable from any other car slop franchise
nfs underground is *the* car slop franchise that you're b***hing about
jesus you're stupid
>muh suits
lol
Never forget what they took from you
I have m3 gtr fatigue, i'm tired of seeing it on every fricking game
Porsche was the peak, U2 and MW were great, with Carbon NFS died.
>this image is so old that NFS 2015 was the newest and shittiest entry at the time
wew
>be EA
>see studio making good games
>buy studio
>force studio to do something moronic
>close studio
every time
Honestly Most Wanted pursuits weren't that hard, the only real danger were the spike strips since you could always just outrun everything and then chain pursuit breakers to escape or go into the stadium
Only if you are cheesing on highways, go downtown and see how awful it gets.
Carbon map make sure you can't escape that easy.
Carbon pursuits are awful, they ruined everything that made them fun. It's worse when you realize they serve absolutely no purpose in the career.
Its about same.
except cops spawn all the time and right in front of you and there's no enough pursuit breakers to get rid of them, it's annoying instead of fun
Not that different honestly, got tired of highways after my third playthrough and started going into the cities, they have lots of shortcuts and jumps, not to mention they're littered with pursuit breakers, even if you don't want to use them the cops end up crashing into them themselves
I just want to go fast with no zoomer shit and no mumble rap, is that too much to ask
If that's all you want you've got plenty of options, but I'm sure you'll have a new goalpost for them
Indeed I will. These are the bare minimum and they still fail.
The soundtrack is definitely something I worry about. Most wanted capitalized on the edgy aesthetics popular at the time, filled with metalcore and hard rock for its race tracks, and it fit well. Slamming nitrous on a straight, smashing through a roadblock, while hand of blood or decadance played just hit in ways no other racing game has. I recall one of the reasons I disliked carbon was because it’s soundtrack sucked, especially if you chose exotics to play since it was all shit rap music.
Just turn off the music grandpa
My friend Darius
Has a super mega car
The exhaust note for the lemans be like: reeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *pop* REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *pop* reeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *pop* REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I loved most wanted when I was a kid
Played the shit out of it and the original Burnout
Please don't
Just imagine the woke disaster
You never think about how diverse MWs cast is because it doesn't feel forced. They even managed to make Cross look an butthole even though he was morally right all the time.
>Hold W the game is getting a remaster
I just want fricking Burnout. Stop wasting Criterion on this crap.
>tfw late tollbooth challenges.
Minuscule timer and constant cops make a stupid combo.
Toll booths were my favourite events. I guess it's no surprise I became a sim autist
Yeah, tollbooths and checkpoints are fun, specially with traffic cars.
great. criterion are going to shit on most wanted's corpse a second time.
>First racing game by Black Box is NASCAR 2001 (PS1)
>EA gives them a shot at making NFS HP2 for PS2
>It's well received compared to the other versions
>Black Box is given the keys to the NFS brand
>They take NFS into a new direction by cashing in on the tuner and import car culture
>NFS becomes bigger than ever
Kneel
despite being forced to crank out 1 game every year on an assembly line, most of them were certified bangers.
Black Box was a fricking powerhouse of a dev
alongside cranking out the yearly NFS games they also made SKATE and acted as support for DICE in BF
>getting a remake
Can't believe we are stuck in this eternal cycle of just getting remakes of games instead of new stuff
The AAA video game industry really is fricking dead.
jesus fricking christ I'm old

SNYNYN GAME
is that a classic car now
The best nfs game is the monster energy one. With fmvs. Idgaf what anyone says, it's the best looking racing game ever, and it had fun cutscenes and fun racing. The always online was a bit gay, but the fact that you could rock up and flash a bro to start an impromptu race was great. Plus the music was pretty good too.
lmao like i give a shit, Redux has been out for almost a year
Oh yeah this is why Most Wanted isn’t backwards compatible on the Xbox.
Was it always an intended feature to be able to put junkman parts AND the max upgraded parts on cars at the same time?
Yes
Back in UG1 TJ says his parts aren't something you can buy off the shelves.
been enjoying grid 2... the drifting feels so kino
>campy live action cutscenes replaced with stiff and lazily animated in-engine cutscenes

yeah i think i will pass
