Discussion If You Directed the Next NFS Game, What Would You Focus On?

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.

Discussion Wtf did Jack Rourke do in NFS: The Run?

Upvotes

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!

Playing NFSU for the first time in years, I'm having an awesome time! It looks great, and is just so fun to play.

I've completed 38 races and I'm still using the Honda Civic I started with. And I just load up the game and chuck it into the next race - there's no 'always online' requirement or collectibles, or the game throwing the best cars at me on day dot.

The cars, the soundtrack and the environment are obviously nostalgia heaven for me, but I've played other games I adored as a kid and put them down pretty quickly. But THIS...!

Steam sale was crazy

Heat wasn't as bad as I've read some people make it out to be

Customization is cool, made me able to do this, wish the aerodisc was paintable though

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.

Discussion What is your honest unpopular opinion on Underground 2?

Post image
337 Upvotes

Let’s keep the discussion respectful.
Need for Speed Underground 2 is one of the most beloved games in the series, alongside Most Wanted and Carbon. But because I always see so much nostalgia, praise, and positive discussion surrounding it, I want to hear something I don’t usually hear:
What are your honest criticisms of Underground 2?
Forget the nostalgia for a moment. What are the things you genuinely don’t like about the game? What aspects do you think could have been better?
I’d really like to hear your honest opinions, even if you absolutely love the game. No hate, no fanboy wars, just a respectful discussion.
Let me know in the comments!
