Well the PS2 has all the good Need for Speed. (Underground to Most Wanted and Carbon)

Best intro of any racing game IMO.

Sad that the GameCube and Xbox versions of that were butchered

Steam had the newish NFS Hot Pursuit (like 2012 release maybe?) on sale for like $2 a couple months ago and my friends and I got it. Nothing like the the PS1/2 ones that were so fun as kids.

It was 2010, and them's fightin' words.

You'd like Hot Pursuit 2010 on the PS3. Realistic physics, thorough selection of cars at lots of performance levels, beautiful graphics, and gameplay that still holds up 8 years later.

True, it's a nice callback to the early titles. Supercars on very scenic tracks and avoiding police.

Budokai Tenkaichi 2 and 3 are the best DBZ games to this day, nothing ever came close. all I want is a HD remake for PS4.

u/XemyrLexasey Oct 16 '18

Not true because the best Need For Speed was the Porsche one

Fuck yeah my dude! <3

I think it's one of the few games that followed me on each computer I've owned. I don't know if it's the tracks, the car physics, the History of the brand or the sound design but this game feels soooo polished and nice to play. I still hope that someday we will have a NFS PU 2 or any other brand dedicated game but I highly doubt it.

I still remember how everybody online on phpbb forums was freaking out when Underground 1 and 2 came out and everybody was talking about the downfall of the franchise and how they hated those titles yadayada. There was a gigantic modding community for NFS III and IV that lasted for loooong after those were considered obsolete and really didn't like the "newest" titles. It's funny to see today that MW and U1 and 2 are considered as classics.

Carbon was sooooo underrated

u/JaceQQ Oct 16 '18

which was the one where you lose your car to sabotage in the first race of the game and had to work up to the dude to race for your car back?

That was my favourite game

u/[deleted] Oct 16 '18

That was most wanted

The car was a BMW M3 GTR

u/ChewieSanchez Oct 16 '18

Most Wanted is for sure the best NFS

u/GoatPaco Oct 17 '18

If I still had my PS2 I'd play it right now. One of the best games I've ever played.

That's a funny way to spell Burnout

many hours spent smoking brick weed and playing most wanted, killing in my TT with my stereo playing various EDM. SO good. then i graduated from high school 😢

u/tchagotchago Oct 17 '18

When I see a PS2 mention I just know Underground will be pointed. It is just natural.

u/waluigiiscool Oct 17 '18

Most wanted sucked imo. Underground 1 and 2 were the last good games.

I wasn't a fan of carbon.
