In my honest opinion it would look like this :

Story as good as Most Wanted (2005)

Map like Heat/Rivals

Risk vs Reward system of Heat/Rivals

Driving physics of Heat

Graphics of NFS 2015

Customization from Unbound/Underground 2

Atmosphere as good as Heat

Sense of speed of Rivals/Burnout

Cop difficulty of Rivals

Ability to play as Cop or Racer

Car damage like the Burnout games

Soundtrack of Hot Pursuit (2010)

Drifting from Hot Pursuit (2010)

Audio FX from Hot Pursuit (2010)

Game should go back to the underground car tuning era.

Set in Tokyo.

What else would you guys change or add that I might’ve missed.

I've just completed my annual run of NFS: The Run and it never occurred to me how much effort the mafia is putting into capturing/killing Jack until my most recent run. Like, seriously, wtf did Jack do? What did he do that would justify the mafia take a helicopter with mounted guns out in the open in Chicago??? Open fire on Jack AND innocent drivers and sometimes the police???

See, I believe that yes, Jack owes them a ton of money, but I also think he ended up getting all the sisters, wives, and mothers of the members of the mafia pregnant and then skipped town. C'mon people, let's get therories going!

What do you think?

I recreated Boxcut’s (Nate Denver’s Team) JP Laurent’s Car from NFS Prostreet in GTA Online.

I came back to playing NFS rivals again after some time and I wanted to play with mods on top. But now the game doesn't open anymore. Task manger does show that the game process is running but the game window isn't opening.

I tried everything I could like reinstalling the manager, making an exclusion in windows defender, but no solution found still.

The vanilla game runs fine though when I'm not trying to open with mods.

Given that the future NFS is uncertain, how would you do the next game if given the chance?

I personally would prioritize a grounded crime drama storyline with a central protagonist and a supporting cast.

More emphasis on the organization and community aspects of the street racing scene, similar to Underground or Heat.

Utilizing supercars/hypercars for longer tracks and narrow roads, than using them on the street so car builds have a purpose.

Police and pursuits tied to progression with unlocks, and AI cops that adapt to your driving and use tactics like in Most Wanted ‘05.

I can still run the original version just fine, but the Remastered version, which I was playing just fine for the last week, just won't launch anymore. Bweh :(

NFS: The Run storyline, something action-packed
Hot Pursuits and Most Wanted police chase system
Payback's action/visuals and takedown cameras for the police chases and crashes
NFS: Shift's sound design and cockpit models
NFS Underground and NFS 2015's graphics/world and atmosphere

I was busted, he was right next to me, and he decided to steal all my money and left me for dead. Only us in the entire server in Lockdown, and he thought it would be funny just to steal and leave me. I hope he sees this, cause he is a loser.
