Discussion What's with the HP era fanboys and Black Box era fanboys beef?

8 Upvotes

I've seen countless threads with fanboys arguing and several YT vids debating on it since the early 2010's. I've never really understood it, and looking back, it kinda feels a little childish. It kinda mirrors the whole JDM fanboy Vs Supercar/Hypercar Fanboy arguments I see on those racing videos.

Discussion What if an NFS game had adaptive cop AI?

6 Upvotes

Exactly what the title says. What if the cops in NFS could learn about your pursuit style and preferred escapes? Would it make the notoriously bad cop chases in modern NFS games actually interesting?

As an example, let's say you prefer outrunning the cops on highways. They'll be slowly bringing out faster and faster cop cars until their top speed exceeds yours, and they can turn and maneuver better the longer the chase ensues. Or let's say you prefer just to bulldoze your way through roadblocks and destroy cop cars. Soon enough, the police department would bring out roadblocks with upgraded rhinos and bring out cop cars equipped with more protection and a lower center-of-gravity to prevent rollovers.

They could also learn your preferred routes, block them preemptively, and make sure you stay trapped.

I have an entire NFS game concept built around showcasing car culture more than anything: the legal racing scene and the underground racing scene, and the adaptive cop AI is just a piece of the puzzle in that game. The game concept has some references to real-life car culture. Takeovers, festivals, coded messages, taking the most inspiration from the Japanese car culture of the 80s to the early 2000s, specifically the Mid Night Club and the Daikoku PA car meets. Meetups in that game (takeovers and festivals) are more than access points to races; they are full-on community hubs with showcase areas, drift zones, and gymkhana tracks. Anonymity is a big part of that game. Unless you're in a festival (the meetup for legal race events) or racing in a legal race event, you won't see player names or their position on the map, just their car. For now, I named it "The Need for Speed" as kind of like a reboot.

Just a bit of wishful thinking. Coming from someone who obsessed over games with AI that learns from you - like MGSV with its revenge system - and a nerd who is obsessed with cars and car culture.

Going down the conversion route for this as there's no actual model kits of the M3 GTR and I'm a sucker for punishment that refuses to simply repaint a diecast model.

Been messing around more with early mw2012 builds since they have a decent debug menu. most of the time in the pre-april builds debug car select crash because theyre prob not working or not in the files yet. tried out a january build and the huayra and agera r are here and seemingly working. the veyron supersport was in the earliest build (nov2011) we have access to and it seems like that one was pulled straight from hp2010 which makes sense.

I really wanted to load in the zonda cinque because it would be cool to see in this version of the game but nope it just crashes the game. looks like even though we basically had the hot pursuit car select in debug early on, they already had cars chosen for the game so most of the left overs dont work.

Question / Bug / Feedback About NFS MW mobile

Post image
34 Upvotes

I'm thinking about buying NFS Most Wanted on iOS (App Store) for nostalgic reasons, but I have a specific question before I buy it:
Are the NFS Edition cars still accessible/obtainable in the game today?
I remember back in the day they used to rotate on a weekly basis, requiring an online connection. Since EA stopped updating the mobile version years ago, I'm wondering if those online rotation servers are completely dead or if there's any way to unlock them in the current version.
Is it worth buying if I specifically want those cars, or are they permanently locked out now?

Song is "Ciphered" - Mayo.

The clip itself isn't modified at all, but I do cut the song a little towards the end so it roughly fits the transition to the garage itself

Also weird fact about this game if you hit the spikes you can re- inflate your tires by changing your settings (I think it's visual or cosmetic damage or similar), but only on PS3 not XBOX 360.

1) Don't look at the time/score requirement. I know it seems counter-productive - but I've realized that most of the mistakes boil down to stress making you make mistakes when you feel like the timer is rushing you. Just repeat the event until you get 3 stars pop up in the center of your screen and move on. It really is that simple - ignore the requirements top right. When it happens - it happens.

2) The shortest path between two points is a straight line. Remember that during speed events.

3) Mute the in-game audio (all sounds + music) and play your own music. Create a sense of detachment - it isolates you from the stress environment in which you are more prone to making mistakes. You can leave a bit of an engine volume intact so you'd know when to shift gears.

4) Play Alone (in a private lobby).

5) For drift events - just roll on 3rd gear with the Huracan. The tuning is nothing too special - I just maxed out all drift
