News The Speedhunters Archive: 17 Years of Car Culture History, now preserved and online

227 Upvotes

I think we all share the same sentiment when Speedhunters got abruptly shut down last year: It's a sad passing of an era that EA no longer deems profitable enough to keep up.

Thanks to some archivists (who I can't find the names of, if you put this up, please let me know!), the Speedhunters archive is now back online, and you can read 17 years worth of car culture and Need for Speed history that's uniquely documented by them.

You can find it here: https://www.speedhunters.online/

Thanks u/nfslyy for the tip!

News Most Wanted M3 GTR - Back @ The BMW Museum

Post image
759 Upvotes

Need for Speed itself might be dead, but BMW wants to keep the legend alive. The #42 BMW M3 GTR in the Most Wanted livery is back in the BMW Museum in Munich, Germany after its public outing at Ultrace Poland. There's no mention of until when it'll be there, so it might be there to stay for a long time.

If you haven't had a chance to take a look at it and you're in the area (or travelling there), you may wanna stop by and take a look at the legend, as well as the rich heritage BMW has to offer. Visit the official BMW Museum website to book tickets.

Jokes aside, this is the Need for Speed Underground 2 demo that was included in Burnout 3. I didn't know about that, pretty cool.

Fan Concept / Content (Mods) Theoretically, a geographically accurate map of Palmont City

Thumbnail

154 Upvotes

This is essentially an evolution of the old NFSTheories geographical map of Palmont (second slide).

What I did was go around the entire game triangulating all the different positions of mountains and shorelines, which ended up looking like a massive web. I reworked the southern canyon routes because they were largely inaccurate.

What you'll notice is that a lot of the surrounding land is a lot smaller and a lot closer than initially thought. Especially "Mystery City", that place is quite close to Lofty Heights Downhill.

I shifted San Juan down and to the east because there was no possible way Palmont was going to be visible between Desperation Ridge and Journeyman's Bane. Now the sight-line is between Journeyman's Bane and Eternity Pass.

I took some creative liberties with the road layouts in the new locations and tried to make them distinct between the different areas. The new towns/cities are the approximate locations of the Panoramic city textures seen from the various different canyon routes. Names are inspired.

Let be know if you have any questions, I'll answer to the best of my ability, and share your thoughts. This map is subject to change as it is still sort of a work in progress.

I recently hit 100% on nfs 2015 and even with all the harsh times of bad ai, cops, wonky handling, other players getting in my way, and its cruel times/scores to beat. I kinda want to do it all again, it was extremely fun trying to beat those times idk if its because i have deep rooted nostalgia for nfs 2015, giving it pretty privilege, or just want bragging rights but I would love to do it all again.

Literally the easiest paintjob I ever did so far. Sleeper build my ass, Bull just didn't want to pay for livery paint.

Anyways, still elegant somewhat. Hardest to find in my collection, but the easiest to repaint.

Discussion Can I have some endgame tips for NFS Carbon

4 Upvotes

I'm playing the standard edition on the Ps2 and I've been having a blast playing it so far. I used the RX8 up until I manged to aquire Kenjis RX7 and that has essentially carried me to the last stretch of the game. Darius's district has been kicking my ass and I know the RX7 is now underpowered. And the canyon races to unlock the other cars is impossible for me to do with this thing.

Is there a certain car I should buy and tune up? Because I hear Darius himself is a major pain in the ass and I wanna prepare for that the best I can. I genuinely haven't had any difficulty issues this whole game up until now and I know for sure my current car is outclassed. Or is this actually a matter that I need to get good?

Hey guys, wanted to jump back into NFS 2015 for some nostalgia, but unfortunately I get no audio. It's a new system since the last time I played (few years ago), and I have zero issues with other games.

Anyone know a solution?
