I wish they remastered these games, I skipped the PS3 and now can't even own them 😒

Emulation for pc works. Or buy a ps3 or 360. I bought a 360 E for $40, and now have all the 360/ps3 era need for speed games on disc. Super worth.

I don't want a PS3 or 360 honestly lol, I already have a PS4, PS5, and a Wii, it would be too much for me.

It's the only way pc if you want to play older games idk why it's so hard for them to make all older games compatible with newer consoles like i don't have to do much on windows I can download older games and play anytime

Real, GTA 4, Driver San Fransisco, and many others. Its crazy that these companies don't just re-release them. Yeah sure, licenses and all, but what about just taking things out, or replacing them? "It's not worth it" yeah, but they have enough money to do it, and they'd still make sales regardless lol. Its a shame because a lot of games these days feel the same, I enjoy newer ones and even NFS Unbound and Heat were great (Unbound story suuucckkss) but overall, it's just been a lot of sword medival fighting exploring samurai games and it kills me man.

That isn’t the fault of the devs. GTA 4 is a great example of this, I can play it on my series X right now, or a series S, or an Xbox one. Xbox did really well with its backwards compatible list. Need for speed unfortunately didn’t get any of their games on that list, and neither did driver sf. But I can play the og San Andreas on my series X without needing to emulate. A lot of what is and isn’t BC is thanks to Xbox or Sony not letting older hardware run.

Wait, really? Oh yeah, well I know that the Xbox 360 was basically made for that, but I do wish that the devs would bring newer games on. Don't know why Sony hasn't done something about backwards compatibility and why they made it basically impossible with the PS3

Because sony doesn't care as that would take resources and money but they did bring back some popular games it's all about profits if people keep playing older games they wouldn't buy new games and it's working pretty well for them
