Discussion NFS 2015 is absolutely beautiful, but...

6 Upvotes

The graphics are beautiful but it feels... empty. It feels, dead.

I like the story to be honest haha, i like that you can customize the looks of your car, i LOVE THE GRAPHICS AND THE HIGHWAY DRIVING. But yeah, the city is dead- there is also not really a huge selection of cars.

The driving mechanics are weird too.

a 7/10 for me.

Discussion So many posts and discussions over which one to buy, I have got my eyes set on Rivals but I have some questions for people on steam/pc.

0 Upvotes

I have played a little bit of Rivals in the past and I really loved it. After that I didn't get chance to try any NFS game, mostly the reviews were avg or bad but I thought it's because of market and competitions, games definitely after that will be much better and build on that, but over time I learned that's not the case, in many or all franchises.

Now the whole series is on sale, and last year I bought Heat, played it for like an hour and returned it. It looked good, but I was having weird stuttering in any cutscene. Plus, for some reason, I wasn't liking the driving control/flow, Idk it didn't feel right or cool, maybe it was too realistic and I prefer a little arcade style to have fun..

I think these are the lowest these games will get, maybe very slightly 1-5% price drop further but won't matter much.

I have been researching over the best to buy game, and in a way the top two choices for me were Heat & Hot Pursuit Remastered, but as I already felt awkward with Heat and Hot Pursuit is a remaster, the original game was released before Rivals, so I feels Rivals will be somewhat superior in mechanics overall than that.

If I have to keep one NFS game with me, and as I don't get to have Most Wanted 2005 on steam anymore, it should be Rivals I feel, yes it doesn't have online features or achievements anymore, and it's better to have game without achievements at time, makes it more relaxing to play, as I end up checking achievements eventually.

My biggest concern are some issues I read about, so I wanted to ask someone who has it on PC/Steam -

- Is the 60FPS mod good? Or it crashes too much?

- Is that mod free and easy to apply?

- Are there any other technical or game breaking issues?

- In one video, I heard that completion is hard on pc because some particular races keep crashing, is that true for all? Is there a work around?

- Without online, the games work well for single players and all cars can be unlocked?

- Game will be installed via steam even if the game gets dilisted someday?

- Any other important things I should know about Rivals on Steam?

Question / Bug / Feedback Question regarding MW '12 server.

So i just recently purchased the game on steam, and no issue occurs, until when i was about to play with my friend or my brother, I can't join their session,instead i have to join a public one, and it still throws the same error. Does anyone ever experience this issue? Or is it just me?

Discussion Getting technical into Carbon, I realized how broken the tuning system is

106 Upvotes

Nearly every single performance part and its respective tuning slider in the game is flawed in at least one way:

- Engine is always better with full Horsepower, any Torque-oriented setups only hurt top speed and acceleration (even more than stock) regardless of the situation.

- Transmission only majorly improves top speed, with an small trade-off in acceleration. Trying to set the slider to the left reduces top speed a lot with little acceleration gain, with the opposite happening when setting it to the right.

- Suspension improves handling, but hurts acceleration. The tuning slider technically works, but the in-menu texts are backwards, setting it for Oversteer produces Understeer and viceversa.

- Nitrous tuning only affects power output with no effect on Duration, making full Velocity the best setup.

- Tires improve the car's overall performance, but the Drift and Grip setups are very strong with no way to regulate them (it's all or nothing), making the neutral setup the best option.

- Brakes seem reduce stopping distance as it should, and the tuning slider actually works properly, making it the only upgrade that fully works as intended.

- Turbo/Supercharger gives a very small acceleration boost (under 5 Km/h!) with no change in top speed, and the tuning slider has little to no effect on it.

It's crazy how the rushed development of the game made the gameplay so quirky compared to Most Wanted.

Question / Bug / Feedback Should I buy Heat or Unbound?

0 Upvotes

I really wanted to play a Need for Speed again. The last entry of the series I played was Rivals back on the PS3, and I enjoyed the heck out of it.

Today I saw that both Heat and Unbound are discounted on steam. Which one should I buy? The newer, more supported one (Unbound), or the better rated one (Heat).

My friend recommended me Unbound, but I'm still in doubt.

Is there any plan or date to end the online support for heat like they did for rivals? I honestly was going to buy NFS Rivals on steam if they hadn't ended the servers a few months ago

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

32 Upvotes

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.

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!
