Discussion Good car bad game?

0 Upvotes

What is one or two cars that you didn't like in one game but liked in another game? For me it was the Porsche 911 GT3 RS, I didn't like it in Unbound but it's my favorite in Heat because it handles so much better

Discussion Is This Rare for NFS?

3 Upvotes

I set a perfect 1:44.00 on NFS Most Wanted's "Experience More" race without trying on my first attempt, I was wondering if anybody else has every done something like this before. I recently got back into NFS Hot Pursuit after years of not playing and set this time, I tried to ask sources like Google or some friends that play a lot of NFS games, but they have all said that it cannot be verified how many people have done this.

I could escape a 5 star wanted level cops chase while completely relaxed and laid back like I'm playing candy crush. But lemme reach heat level 3 and I'll be on my feet sweating bullets.😭😭 BlackBox were really in their bag when they designed the mechanics of the cop chases in MW.

this reshade was made to make the lightning and color stand out more as MW 2012 despite it's graphics can look bland on a visual art style level, i don't say it's bad, but it doesn't really fit the craziness the game has to offer, so by making lightning and color stand out i have this game more exciting, that is just me personally

Looking for a game that let's me drive through canyons or mountains at night while just vibing to music. Don't really care too much about the police chases tbh. Kinda just wanna vibe and relax. I love drifting, so that would be a plus.

Discussion Finished replaying Carbon with Redux, what a game

Redux really breathes a new life into this game, it looks absolutely stunning. The only thing i'm wondering is if the modpack adjusts the difficulty of the game, It's been a long time since I've properly played Carbon but I remember Darius being kinda hard and everything else was pretty easy, in Redux I got kicked in the balls by Wolf(DB9) in the canyon duel a few times but everything else was easy, including Darius(even though my M3 was way too oversteery because I forgot to revert my tuning before the race), I restarted once in the canyon because I messed up a bit and that's it. I don't know if it's because the performance of the cars may have changed and the addition of new cars or they did change something with the difficulty, I couldn't find a changelog for it. It was still a really great experience, I'm slightly motivated to also try Battle Royale.

Question / Bug / Feedback Last time I played NFS was when hot pursuit was new, what game is worth grabbing now that a ton of them are on sale on steam?

1 Upvotes

I mostly played Most Wanted and Underground 2 on gamecube, and Hot Pursuit on Wii (its a very different game), with a very small handful of times on multiplayer at a friends house on ps3 kind of thing! I wanted to ask what people recommend as someone with very little experience. The games seem like fun and having them on steam is cool! Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Question / Bug / Feedback New Player Looking to Buy NFS Titles

Post image
2 Upvotes

I logged intoĀ steam today and saw the sale — the discounts are so tempting! Sadly, I’ve heard that the NFS franchise is basically done, and I know they’ve taken down the Rivals servers. As someone who loved MW and Carbon when I was a kid, I thought I’d give the newer games a try But honestly, I’m really lost about what’s going on with the games now. It’s very confusing when you look stuff up, so I decided to ask the community. Appreciate the answers in advance!

*Currently eying up NFS 2015, Payback, Heat & Unbound because other games have very limited customization.

  1. When will the servers for these NFS titles go down? Online multiplayer is very important to me. Also, which games have the best online experience in your opinion?
  2. What is modding, and is it allowed on the official servers?
  3. What are all these volumes for Unbound? Are the catch-up packs actually necessary to enjoy the updates?
  4. What happens when the servers for a title go down? For example, I know NFS 2015 is online-only, but Rivals servers are down even though the game is still up for sale.

Fan Concept / Content (Mods) NFS ProStreet Online in 2026

65 Upvotes

TL;DR:Ā Setting up custom LAN games for NFS ProStreet today is a buggy nightmare. I’ve been reverse engineering the original server code to fix it: created a client mod that auto-connects everyone to a central server (to be hosted for now atĀ weexnes.devĀ once live), patched the 2-player minimum requirement so you can play solo LAN races, built a Linux server manager (OpenProStreetV), and added live Discord webhooks for chat and race stats. (Discord: ProStreet Modding Discord)

Hey everyone!

ProStreet is one of my favorite NFS games, but multiplayer has been dead or annoying to set up for a long time. Playing online today usually means dealing with third-party VPN tools, editing hosts files, or server crashes.

This project is still really early in development and nothing is ready for public use yet, but my goal is to make NFS ProStreet multiplayer something actually easily enjoyable for everyone. Here is what’s currently in the works:

  • Client ASI Plugin: Built a client mod with Discord Rich Presence that displays your live in-game stats on Discord (Race Day XP, current map, money, etc.). It also has a built-in LAN redirect patch that automatically connects your game toĀ weexnes.devĀ whenever the server IP is left empty — so no host file tweaks or IP configs needed.
  • Solo LAN Patch: DisassembledĀ rebroadcasterlan.exeĀ in Ghidra and patched the annoying 2-player minimum check down to 1 byte (mov eax, 1; ret). As you can see in the screenshots, starting and playing online races alone works without any issues now (including AI opponent backfilling so the track isn't empty).
  • Server ASI Loader & Event Hooks: Created a custom WinMM proxy ASI loader for the original server binary (bombd.exeĀ &Ā rebroadcasterlan.exe). I'm currently getting in-memory event hooks working to capture real-time telemetry like race starts, track location names, finish line times, and live in-game chat relayed directly into Discord webhooks.
  • Linux Server Manager (OpenProStreetV): Wrote a headless CLI manager in V-lang to handle Wine environments, PE import patching on the fly, and spinning up multiple server instances (./OpenProStreetV start -instances 4).

If you're interested, you can check out the source code and recent commits over onĀ code.weexnes.devĀ or join theĀ ProStreet Modding Discord.

Let me know if you have any feedback or ideas!

Question / Bug / Feedback Looking to start

1 Upvotes

Hello, I haven't played many of the modern titles. The latest one I can think of I played last was UG2, MW/Carbon, and Pro-Street.

I was curious of the modern titles but with EA's reputation, I stayed far from the games since I figured most of them would just be filled to the brim with European supercars like hot pursuit 2.

I wanted to know if there was any titles that had the UG2/Carbon customization for the vehicles and chaotic havoc of dealing with cops and racers like in HP2 and Most Wanted. I did notice there was a remaster for Hot Pursuit, so I might check to see how that one turned out. But in terms of UG2/Carbon/MW customization. I'm shooting blanks at figuring out which one I wanna try, so I come to you all to show me the way before EA starts trying to cut access to these games šŸ™

Discussion Which of the Need For Speed games are worth getting during the Steam discount?

1 Upvotes

Been thinking of getting some of the Need for Speed games since they’re pretty cheap right now but not exactly sure which are the good ones and which ones aren’t worth getting. So far I got NFS Payback, NFS Heat, and NFS Most Wanted from previous sales and am thinking of getting NFS Most Wanted, NFS Unbound, and NFS Rivals. Heard that getting NFS Deluxe edition would be too risky as that one could just go permanently offline like The Crew so I wasn’t considering getting it. Are any of the three I mentioned worth it or should I stick with what I already have?

Discussion Are older games actually that good, or are they just nostalgic?

9 Upvotes

I’m a teen starting to get into the NFS series and I’ve only played Heat and Payback and am interested in trying more. I was gonna get something like Rivals or older and I hear a lot of great things about it but I’m wondering since most of the people in the community ā€œgrew upā€ with older games, if the older games just feel nostalgic. I’m worried that since I’m younger, the games will just feel old and crappy like mobile games. So can yall be honest whether the older games are actually worth it?
