It's either that or another failed Dragon Age or added on to the Anthem team.

Let's be honest here. Immersion-wise it was wonderful, all the tuning aspects and the open-world, but in terms of actual game-play? Absolute garbage, it had one of the worst rubber-banding systems out there. Pretty much every mode (espacially drift) felt less fleshed out and fun than in underground 1

This. I want to see NFSU2 and KOTOR 1

Nah the rubberbanding is barely noticable.
It got much worse in MW and Carbon though.

>racing games will never be good again
ftfy

U and U2 had pretty weak rubberbandign. It's was extremely nightmarish in MW.

NFS 2015 was good, it only lacked a good villain to drive the story
Payback was trash though

Yeah MW was also really not good but not quite as bad.
Maybe it was just me but, despite being actually quite competent with racing-games (main genre I used to play, now I do RPG and actual sim-racing occassionally, just stepped it up a little), no matter how much I was ahead, those fuckers would zoom straight in front of me right on the final straight. Fucking bullshit. Only the one from GRID 1 frustrated me more.

Prove you have played NFSU2 and post an image (.png or .jpg file extension) of your modified automobile RIGHT NOW.

You're getting a new Dragon Age and you'll hate it.

I once told a friend that this song always played when you were going to win. He told me that when this song plays you must win.

>need for speed underground 2
You have thick nostalgia googles on user. In this game the fastest way how to go through turn was to ram into barriers under 45 degrees and hold throttle and nitro at the same time. It was extremly casual.

Now first underground, that was game requiring some sort of handling.

This. NFSU2 is actually one of the weakest NFS games as far as handling goes. It's only better than Ghost's NFS games.
Now Most Wanted, THAT was an NFS game.

UUUH AH AH AH AH AH

someone fucking make a tier list of nfs games already

There's something about U2 city that really grabs me. It came from the PS2 era yet the city feels full of life and interesting to explore. I recently played Payback and the city is bland and empty

It's also very poorly thought, a pain to navigate, and really not adapted for racing.
It's also fucking amazing that in payback you barely race in the city, you spend most of your time in sand.

You can see how desperate they were to ripping off Forza Horizon

Alright, I am gonna do it. Keep this thread alive

I need to reburn my NFSU2 copy. It hiccups while loading the world.

NFS MW 2005 has really easy handling but it's helped by a very well-designed map that's good for going fast in.

SAY, YES THEY KNOW THAT YOU FOUGHT YOURSELF ANOTHER TIME

DON'T THEY KNOW THAT YOU'RE FULL OF PAIN ALREADY

>NFS MW 2005 has really easy handling
so does every other NFS of the time

Nigga, I ain't gonna dig up decade old shit from my PS2.

It's the vibrant colors, open shops everywhere and lit apartments. Those textures on buildings made them look alive.

is NFSU2 considered a boomer game now?
time sure does fly by

Pro Street's Speed events were the pinnacle of NFS handling.

INTO THIS HOUSE WE'RE BORN
INTO THIS WORLD WE'RE THROWN

IS IT

Forza Horizon 1 was the spiritual successor of NFS. I'm assblasted to this day that PC doesn't have a version

How can I get this game for PC?

I don't think EA sells it any more

Not like MW 2005. You almost never need to brake. In NFSU2 you do need to brake to cut some of the sharper turns (particularly in the Jackson Heights area). The map facilitates fast driving by not having a lot of sharp corners, just corners that you can ease into by backing off the throttle.

Pro Street was utter shit though. Every NFS with legalized racing is dogshit.

Piracy

Attached: SPEED2 1.webm (640x360, 2.87M)

End your existence, pro street is criminally underrated

there are lots of corners you need to break for. the map is just actually made for racing with flowing routes and not cobbled together paths like NFSU2

the track design of HP2, UG, MW and Carbon take the fattest shits on NFSU2's meme streets

You can easily brick yourself in that game. I remember getting stuck on one of those wheelie events with a muscle car with only 4 gears. Also
>day racing
>no comfy bayview/open night city
>boring events
But still I don't completely regret playing ProStreet, I do in fact regret playing NFS Shift, that was a waste of time and when I decided to drop new releases of need for speed games.

great list user, although i'd put new hot pursuit 1 or 2 tiers higher

Depends on the car really, but what this user said and maximum downforce.
I actually lost the savefile upon formatting my HDD but I saved the dyno settings, still have the game but I haven't played it anymore

This is the shittiest thing I have ever seen in my life.

We can argue about The Run, but:

There is only so much space on a tier-list from S to F. Shift is closer to Carbon than to ProStreet. And a few old titles get bonus points for nostalgia (not porsche though). Plus:

>UC not infinitely better than HP2010
Are you serious? HP was the first in the series to introduce shit-tier control. It had literally no customization options. I was tempted to just leave E-tier free but nothing beats the buggy messes that are the F-tier games.

>U2 not better than Carbon
Carbon literally introduced nothing new to the genre. HP2 was the peak of customization and the first real open world.

...and that's a good thing!

I personally got stuck on one of the speed events with the camaro concept. That thing was just way too fast and I constantly totaled the car.

Yeah it was truly a great game. Imo the time-system of you passing through the years and your car rising in value was a fantastic idea. It somehow gave you a ton of immersion overall

you dont deserve one because you put a game with a piss filter on the highest pedestal

Ah I see, a worthless bum too scary to get smashed by anonymous people on the internet.

Agreed good cars decent enough map and felt good to drive.

> MW>U2

niggas crazy b

scared*

What was 2015 story, even?
I'm stuck with Payback because nobody bothered to crack 2015.

What's your beef with burnout? I enjoy Burnout and NFSU2

>worthless openworld
>godawful track design killing sense of speed all the time
>ridiculous ricing
>piss filter
>fucking SUVs
underground 2 can fuck right off
my niggas

MW was generally more rounded desu. Added a lot more, (though, in exchange of customization) and had better handling and races

Nothing, that's why I put it to the right and not down below. I just think it should not be on a ranklist for nfs games. It belongs to a burnout ranklist instead

>beef
i don't think anyone here has a beef with burnout, it's just that mw2012 is literally burnout paradise 1.1

Not sure if bait but if you are serious lol

>What was 2015 story, even?
Lol we are riders so kool lmao we are all friends yay
>I'm stuck with Payback because nobody bothered to crack 2015.
Because 2015 is online only

Is it? How similar we talkin? Same crash mechanics and everything?

>(though, in exchange of customization)
Implying you didnt spend 20% racing 80% customizing your pegeau 206 to catch bitches

I guess, but man I just wanna go back to being the legend and get my tight ass BMW wrecked at the beginning of the game by the local hot-shit

Yeah, this was the biggest flaw on NFS15, it didn't had a villain or motivation to actually move the story.
They should straight out remake MW

Why won't they just make an initial d inspired toe gay racing game? Initial d is on its second wind, the time is perfect.

Am I the only one who liked Rivals? it was fun.

>Not like MW 2005. You almost never need to brake.
You do if you don't use Speedbreaker like a weenie. The last region has a couple nasty hairpins that the AI will fly through at mach 7.

Cope

fuck off with your eurobeat memes

Underground 1 is better.

I mean it was the formula for NSF:U to Carbon.
Not many people actually know it but it's the same protagonist for all these games, it's kinda neat.

My favorites are U2, Carbon, and HP2010.
NFS2015 looks up my alley, why the fuck did they have to make it always online.

There is no rubberbanding in the game aside from the free roam street races against random AI driving around. Actual races, there's no rubberbanding and if you use cheats to out-tune the competition by multiple stages, you can literally lap them.

welp, i thought it was only MW and Carbon

You're both right actually, I verified my claim and it turns out the only clue about it is Rog's dialogue when you race against him
>Look what the underground scene threw out, let's see how you do in the daylight
So it's not outright confirmed, just an implication.

Undergound 2,MW and Carbon at the best mate that list is kinda meh
Porsche Unleashed,U1 and the hot pursuit ones are the only decent ones the rest are kinda bad

>those 3 games released sequentially were the best
woah i really can't tell during which time period you were the target demographic for the games
you were born between 92 and 95

Undercover is the worst NFS game ever.

what you need to be honest with is yourself, you fake faggot. you clearly haven't played U2 as much as you want to believe.

Attached: 1538413420638.jpg (800x601, 101K)

Factually incorrect, boot up NFSU2 and use a trainer/table/whatever that kicks your car to maximum speed instantly and you'll see how your opponents shoot closer to your car. The rubberbanding is HARD, specially in URL events.

Not him but 94 here. Back before I knew how to use computers stepdad installed Porsche on PC and brought me a wheel controller from a cousin. Spent hours on it.

For me, it's shitty French hatchbacks.

>HP10 that low
Finally, it's become tiresome seeing all those dumb boomers praise it for le callback to better days. It's handling physics became the cancer that finally killed NFS.

Figure out the lowest RPM range you're in for each type of race and lower everything under that, then max out everything above it. This might not be the best strategy for streetx and drift since you need low end torque.
Learn what each suspension component does. Proper suspension tuning shaved 20+ seconds off my best time on the test track.

Great Taste

Attached: Need-for-Speed-High-Stakes-01.jpg (700x524, 60K)

The fastest way is with proper suspension tuning, playing in first person, and with proper corner entry. Retards can't into driving fast and just slam into walls.

Are you retarded? Everything in most wanted handled like an arcadey boat. NFSU2's handling was superior by far.

The handling physics is perfect for its tracks. You can see that from MW2012 and later games that turns out the devs didn't understand their own game physics .

I miss ricing cars in my games.

HAND OF BLOOOD

hp 2010 was the most fun i've had in a racing game

multiplayer hot pursuits specifically

I always prefered NFS Undercover idk why I finished it like 5+ times

>worthless openworld
>godawful track design killing sense of speed all the time
>piss filter

Literally all of this is objectively wrong.

>You can see that from MW2012 and later games that turns out the devs didn't understand their own game physics .
True, but you can't have every game be massive highways with lots of space. Brake2reddit is extremely restrictive. Why not perfect NFSU1's physics instead, or The Run's?

the PSX had better car models than the PC version and no prebaked driver on the car select screen. how?

>What was 2015 story, even?
DRINK MONSTER BRO FISTBUMP

Oh shid, midnight club 2 image

I don’t think I’ve finished a single race in my last playthrough where I wasn’t at least 10 seconds ahead, sometimes up to 1:20 ahead. If you find it a problem you’re legitimately retarded.

that game is fucking trash
