Best NFS?

Damn Fast and the Furious generation. :ym: :fp: :leaves:

I lol'd.

Voted for Porsche Unleashed and HP2.

Aaah, those were the days... :(

Yes sir they were. Even before that IMO (NFS HP III FTW) - we shall mourn them. or we could just play them :hmmm:

The police chase only had to be 30 mins, not 60. On that massive chase where you're supposed to escape over the bridge to NFS Carbon teritory I just pulled up at the bus depot and hid. There was a cop nearby that couldn't see me but never moved either, so I just sat there for ~30 mins.

Funny how you modded NFSHP2 to make it easier - I tried to make it harder :)

Paladin Skylark · October 26, 2011

Anyone still play NFS HP 2? We could play online :D

Eudemon · October 26, 2011

You haven't played NFS HP2 until you've played the PS2 version. :D

Paladin Skylark · October 26, 2011

You haven't played NFS HP2 until you've played the PS2 version. :D

This is back when PC reigned in my life! On PC it was epic sir!

MW was alright to be fair. You didn't have to ruin your car with decals, kits and crap. Also if you played the game without using the slo-mo feature the police chases were damn hard and lasted ages.

MW had some true HP flair. I especially adored my Black 996 turbo. :)

That was exactly what made me despise MW. Those *inadudible grumble* milestones, one was like "escape a 60 minute police chase". Either you
a) hit a spikestrip and failed 55 minutes in, or

b) actually escaped from the cops 55 minutes in and desperately went around looking for one so you could keep going but of course there was none to be found then. xD

Well, i enjoyed play Most Wanted... at the start of the game i got my Punto, painted it black, and it was like that untill the end of the game. I never added pantjobs or bodykits, just 18" rims and black windows! I used that car the entire game, for every race and every event. It had over 11 millions of bounty. I also never used the slow-dullmotion thing... Really... i think it was a good game. Lol

Damn Fast and the Furious generation. :ym: :fp: :leaves:

:lol:

Believe me if you think the PC version is good, check out the PS2 if you get the chance.

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 is easily the best NFS ever to be made. It's fast, fun, the graphics look great and the sound is fantastic. The music selection the best of the entire franchise. Take note that this is in fact the PS2 version of this game which is the best version by far. The other versions including the PC are vastly inferior to the PS2 version. Reason being is that Black Box of EA made the PS2 version and the other versions for Gamecube, XBOX, and PC were all outsourced to EA Seattle. What we got were two almost totally different games. EA Seattle's version was slow with framerate hiccups while Black Box's version was smooth and fast. Most notably however the "Be the cop" mode was very very different between the new versions. I show two examples of me being the cop in this video. You'll see that have to physically stop the racers by cutting them off and bringing them to a complete stop. In EA Seattle's version it is much like the latest installment of Hot Pursuit as where you ram the other vehicle so many times which drains a......life meter? Then that car is considered busted. Seriously? That's just lame. There are some who like that better since it's easier, but not nearly as fun. The other difference is that you can outrun the cops in the other versions as where in the PS2 version they are on you mercilessly until you get pulled over or the end of the race.

:D

I had the Playstation 2 version. :D Enjoyed that game also... still have it, though.

Edit: I remember that helicopter missle... how i hated it... :lol:

Ryzza5 · October 27, 2011

Prefer the PC graphics, but if I see the PS2 version for <$10 I'll get it for my brother since he has a PS2 (he got it after I got our PS3)

Eudemon · October 27, 2011

Yeah the helo missiles were lethal, those damn bombs also. For such a small bird that thing sure as hell could carry a lot of barrel bombs. :lol:

Ryzza5 · October 27, 2011

PC had the barrels but no missiles. :mhmm:

However in the .ini config files you could change stuff as to how quickly the helicopter would arrive, how long it would take to start dropping barrels, how often it would drop them, how long until it had to go refuel, as well as how much damage the barrels did.

Eudemon · October 27, 2011

You can see a few being fired and hitting the player in the 2nd video during the last lap of the pursuit. By hell he's a terrible driver that guy but it's the one video that shows the game off fairly well.

Milli · October 27, 2011

^ But they are fast, i had serious problems to see them... :lol:

Edit: Not sure about the pc version... but a detail in that i game that i still love to see is the car getting away from the camera when you brake and then suddenly accelerate.

Eudemon · October 27, 2011

Yep, usually you would just see the yellow tip and by then it was too late.

MephistoRacing · October 27, 2011

HP2! Best soundtrack, best cars. Also LOVED that big McLaren F1LM race in the city or whatever it was, that was SO HARD, but SO FUN. They just don't make 'em like that anymore :(

For many years Hot Pursuit 2 on the PS2 format held the crown for me but once Hot Pursuit 2010 came out it is King in my limited NFS catalog.

Need for speed underground

Need for speed underground 2

Need for seed most wanted

Need for speed hot pursuit 2010

i grew up on those game when i was a kid 15 now the best for me was hot pursuit it is amazing

Ozzmcom · November 10, 2011

This exactly. NFS isn't about modding and ricing out your car - to all you kids out there who think that, you are horribly incorrect. The most recent NFS (HP) was a success because it went back to the true values of the series.

NFS III: HP is the best of the series hands down in my opinion. It was a pain at times, but it was just such a good game. Anything with "Hot Pursuit" in the name I have been astounded with.

Great thread by the way :)

true that, I've gone for road & track, didn't like IISE, loved the first hot pursuit and the high stakes because it had great graphics. Sad for those who didn't even play the past-2000 nfs's and grew up with the games like hoodyground 2

Flo · November 10, 2011

i grew up with underground 1 and 2. then forgot about racing games, and one day bhought pro street and hot pursuit, loved them

EDIT: i dont know if it was hot pursuit or undercover i bhought wayyy back, it was this story when you started in a chase and got arrested, then this chick made a deal.... undercover i guess

Prophecy · November 10, 2011

Yeah that was undercover. My favourite NFS would probably be High Stakes or Porsche Unleashed (both on playstation, never had them on PC, couldnt run them XD)
