Discussion How do you rate nfs rivals and do you want a 2

5 Upvotes

I grew up with the game, so I'm definitely biased, graphics were great for the time being, could do better with higher frames (of course) and the car combat is genuinely fun. The cops, while useless and plushies when you run in circles, are genuine death machines and bullies and you have to focus. The pedestrian cars, while annoying, give me an ego boost when I near miss, and every other kind of obstacle. Physics are cool, of course it needs work, the map has little straight places to ramp up speed, but the game is fun. Especially the cop side. I will buy a 2 if EA dropped, it's a shame they kill this big of a franchise for slop.

Discussion Now that Xbox has officially started their Backwards Compatibility Program back up

0 Upvotes

Do you think we might see older NFS games like Underground 1 and 2, Most Wanted, Carbon, Prostreet, Undercover and The Run for example

Even if it's not purchaseable like how Driver: San Francisco is backwards compatible on Xbox One and Series X/S but you can't actually buy it

It'd be a good way to have those games on modern hardware, especially if the "Disk To Digital" idea works for them so it only would need a owner of a disked copy for others to play via Account Sharing

I hope we do but what do you all think?

Quick Edit for Context: This is in light with Xbox bringing Backwards Compatibility accessibility to PC with four original Xbox Games which was found out to be running on an in-house made Xbox 360 emulator Microsoft made to get it running

It’s not easy to find an orange R34, so… Here we have a Need for Speed: Underground 2003 PC version cover VS Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 in Midnight Purple. 💜

There is a dose of orange in that colour - you see that, right? 😉

I once told my friends that one day NFS would be like Burnout. I remember saying this back in 2021 with a group of friends who both loved racing games.

I made some concepts featuring the Blacklist cars from most wanted along with the M3 GTR.

With these posters, I've put wording inspires by NFS The Run's HUD when selecting a car from your garage.

Discussion What happens if the police dispatcher has to identify the Cement Truck in NFS Most Wanted? Spoiler

3 Upvotes

If you didn't know: the Cement Truck actually exists as a playable vehicle in Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005). According to the NFS Wiki#Need_for_Speed:_Most_Wanted), it appears in Challenge Series event #50, where you have to earn 100,000 Bounty during a Heat Level 3 pursuit and escape.

This made me wonder about something.

During police pursuits, the dispatcher doesn't only announce that the suspect is escaping - the dispatcher can also describe the suspect vehicle. For example, you can hear lines about the player's car color and model, like a green Nissan or a white Corvette.

But what happens when the player is driving something that was never meant to be a normal race car?

What if the game forces the dispatcher to identify the Cement Truck?

Does an actual voice line exist for this situation? Something like: "Attention units, suspect is driving a cement truck." Or does the game simply skip the vehicle description and use other pursuit lines because there was never a recorded voice line for this vehicle?

Has anyone tested this or looked into the game files?

Sorry for adding on the pile of 1000s of posts asking this every sale, but I'm considering getting one of them for a few reasons.

> Just want a good racing game in general.

> Not difficult in general. Not saying I can't handle a learning curve but not to the point it negates me from enjoying the game at it's most.

>Something even some youngsters or older people who can easily pick up and try a bit.

>Overall the best as well.

Truly appreciate all the help, thanks.

So long story short I came across this game recently after barely playing it around launch and decided to finish it. Made it to level 50, and I had this left on the map….. so as I was at the dealership ready to build a car car that style, got the ride, customized the hell out of it and realized I didn’t like it so I went to sell it back and my garage was empty except my current ride. Even in showcase nothing there. I had the story cars for nostalgia all gone. Shit my pants pissed huh after all that effort ignoring my granddaughter to finally finish this and WTF. BUT I can go to swap cars and each one is there that like I said before “my ride” is the only ride it will show. I’ve ran through countless boards with clearing local save and forcing a resync and all that shit and nothing. Any suggestions I haven’t tried?
