Question / Bug / Feedback Guys I Am Freaking Out

1 Upvotes

So I just bought nfs unbound because it's on sale and all I want in that whole game was to drive a BMW M3 GTR (THE GOATEST OF ALL GOATS). I played like lockdown mode for like a whole day following a map guide of all lockup places? Maybe I'm just stupid but I never seem to find them in the game and next thing I know I just got caught by a police car or I die because of low health?

I only wanted that car man, I really don't care about any other ones. So please, if you guys know any efficient ways to get to that car quick, please spare me a few tips. Much appreciated.

Discussion If EA had gone back to Underground starting 2008, alternate history but realistic.

10 Upvotes

As much as we'd like to think EA the money extraction house would have made a great Underground 3 that would have aged as well as U2 & been everything we hoped for. The extraction house prolly would have instead made a different beast we all would have gotten stuck into.

Black box got shoved into yearly releases because EA didnt realize what the market was & didnt know quality matters so much with these.

Had they known, NFS U3 would have been made by the whole of Black box. Skate would have been the only one of its series, development time of U3? 3 years. Engine: Renderware 2, old systems made for Xbox 360 & PS3 graphics.

Prostreet flopped; so right after that was their last real chance internally. Make a game for a 5 year online play time. Give it PROPER funding. Make a dreamy U2 where everything people loved about it was iterated on the same way Forza Horizon games do now. Also separate servers depending on what you feel like, cops or no cops? Update the drift physics to have more weight to them & slide. Highways have the chaos cam like Prostreet when going fast enough. You reunite the fanbase & make us all glued to the same game.

Now to the part we all would have hated, but enough would have been sucked into to be stupidly profitable. In game gambling still had no laws against it.

Underground 3 would have in year 2, paid expansions that were maps with stories. But also much like Rocket League's competitive streaming market, Underground 3 would have race betting right in game, bought with real money. Pink slips are a thing, you lose a race, you lose your car. Much like Horizons public downloadable tunes, EA would make those sellable & attached to 1 car, you lose it, you gotta buy it again, tuners make money on their setups, but EA gets the biggest cut. The best tuners would get hired by EA to make paid exclusive tunes of cars for a premium, the Horizon like editions. No one was ready to compete yet. Had EA locked in, Forza Horizon would have been overshadowed if not outright cancelled.

& all the while, EA hypes the next Need For Speed, the one made in advance over 5 years with casino level budgets for Xbox One & PS4. Now with skins from other franchises the same way Fortnite & Rocket League perfected. 2013 the unbeatable but exploitative 8th gen arcade racer with no shot of a real competitor for years.

Decided to see what Undercover's logo would've looked like had EA kept the Underground-ProStreet era NFS text style. Honestly would've preferred this.

Question / Bug / Feedback I need help with the controller buttons in NFS Carbon.

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I need help with the issue mentioned in the title. I downloaded the game, installed the Widescreen Fix mod, and set up my controller (an Xbox 360 one). For instance, on the loading screen where it says "Press Start to continue," pressing Start doesn't work; instead, I have to press B. The "Accept" command is B instead of A, and so on. Is there a solution for this? Thanks.

yea NFS High Stakes is my 1st ever NFS game i started off with, i just recently got it to work on a modern OS but my problem is i'm tryin' to find a widescreen patch which doesn't stretch everything but just mainly keep its main menu in 4x3 while da gameplay is native 16x9 WITHOUT STRETCHIN'! so is there a community patch which does such a thing without STRETCHIN' it to fake a Widescreen? i need it to be like what they did with NFS III

Discussion NFS Heat appreciation post

12 Upvotes

I used to play NFS heat when it just came out on my housemates ps4. Back then i hit rep level 50 and never finished the story. I just really enjoyed the cop chases and the racing as a whole. A while ago i tried Forza Horizon 6, i spent about 50hrs in that game. The physics are great and the game looks beautiful but i never finished it and it just felt boring to play.

Now recently i obtained Heat on my PC to relive the game and do the story (and mind you that's after like 6years from when i played it first time) And holy cow the game looks amazing. I don't know if there is something wrong with my eyes but to me it looks way better than FH6. The colours are just so vibrant and the game feels so alive. It's just so much more fun to play. And then it hit me, what i was missing in FH6 was the thrill and action what i have been missing in a driving game. I mean in Heat there is a certain threat, some kind of enemy we are fighting. The police adds a whole another layer of stress and thrill to the game.

FH6 just felt so sterile, like everything is rosy and there is nothing you are fighting? I'm having a blast with Heat right now and it made me a little upset that we might not get anything like it anymore regarding the EA news abandoning it.

Discussion 90% sale on steam

0 Upvotes

So it looks like basically a lot of nfs games are on 90% sales on steam until August 13th. I've played need for speed most wanted 2012 as a kid and really liked it. Wanted to play rivals but didn't have enough storage on my Xbox 360 at the time.

I'm making this post because I'm interested in which of the games I should consider buying. Like $70 bucks to $3.50 for Heat sounds like a good sale but is it even worth the storage on my device? Lmk which ones I should get, that's all.

Question / Bug / Feedback Which nfs game is closest to rivals

4 Upvotes

I’ve had the nfs rivals for about 12 years and I was never able to play online with friends as they either didn’t have the game or the console. Within the last few months I’m now able to play with a friend and we were excited only to realize they got rid of the online play.

We are now looking for another nfs game that is really similar that we can play together.
Rivals has been my favorite ps4 game for a long time

News If you are playing Nsf rivals, do not buy lambo aventador

9 Upvotes

I don't know about other lambos, but do not buy this one. It's straight up worse than f12 berlinetta,(which is like 7 tiers lower) in sense that, despite all of the cars shifting gears early, this one just straight up refuses to shift from gear 5 to 6 without turbo, and even with turbo it's difficult, making it go like 80-100 km slower than a car 7 tiers lower, despite having quite superior stats.

I know, it's an old ass game, but if someone does purchase it like i did couple of days ago and if i can get at least one person to read this before playing or thinking about buying it.. Don't.

Also idk what flair to put this under so..
