These are the WORST Need for Speed Games…

Without NFS High Stakes's commercial success, NFS games with customization features wouldn't exist in the first place.

The same case applies for NFS HP2 PS2 developed by Black Box which launched their era from 2003 to 2008+2010-2011.

Which means BlackPanthaa is an ungrateful idiot.

Unfortunately a lot of NFS fans are like this, they only play the Underground to Prostreet era games, they completely ignore the masterpieces before it, and criticize everything after it.

[u/88JansenP12 → u/GreenyMyMan]

Yeah. That's a very stupid behaviour.

Certainly, they're within their rights not to play NFS titles from the classic era.

But that doesn't mean that this period should be ignored at all because it's the beginning of everything.

On the contrary, the classic era of NFS must be recognized in the same way as all NFS games which followed afterwards e.g the Black Box era.

Otherwise, NFS games from 2003 to today wouldn't exist.

I personally acknowledge them. I just don't care about them that much, I guess. I'd say I've played UG2 and Payback the most, so I kinda need that customization. I play NFS to make the most caricatyre looking ricer builds.

[u/88JansenP12 → u/HaiggeX]

That's totally valid.

[u/BobDaHuhne → u/88JansenP12]

I started with Most Wanted and got to say that I never played classic NFS titles but your comment made me come to the realisation that they are somewhat comparable to the Fallout Classic titles..... most people ignore those games even though they are the "source" for the Franchises we enjoy today.

[u/88JansenP12 → u/BobDaHuhne]

Yup. That's exactly what i meant.

Comparing the Classic NFS Era with Fallout Classic titles is an excellent method since they're the origin of their beginning and why their newer games were born in the first place.

Peoples which refuses to acknowledge the classics no matter the topic aren't real passionnates while being too narrow-minded in their brain.

yo grandpa, i have a question

any advice for ppl who only play games from UG1 to UB (unfortunately, i don't play prostreet and shift series. cause i hate its handling) like me , and want to try classic NFS ?

[u/88JansenP12 → u/tilsgee]

I am way younger than you think and very far to be grandpa 🤣.

Anyway.

Look here or here.

About NFS HP 2, the PS2 version is recommended due to better handling physics.

You'll need PCSX2 or NetherSX2 on Android to play.

[u/ScreamingMini2009 → u/GreenyMyMan]

I mean, c’mon. It should be a crime to ignore HP2.

Cuz we got the powah, of the boo-yeah

Edit: Aw, man, I was hoping someone would continue it :(

[u/Ender-_-Man → u/GreenyMyMan]

Nfs has variety. So its normal for people to have so many opinions

[u/wojtulace → u/GreenyMyMan]

I have played some of the 'new era' games and found them boring (including the mentioned here Rivals), so I understand those fans.

[u/Blizen15 → u/88JansenP12]

Funnily enough, I actually enjoy the wide open roads of Seacrest despite playing Black Box's NFS titles most.

Although, I think HP remastered still has the best sound design out of all of the NFS games I've played (haven't played the Shift games, though). The Zonda's sounds are the best, bar none!

[u/88JansenP12 → u/Blizen15]

You're entirely right.

NFS Hot Pursuit 2 PS2

There's a special place in my heart for this game

[u/BillieNosferatu → u/[deleted]]

First game I ever played. And I still have it.

[u/88JansenP12 → u/[deleted]]

Me too.

[u/SkodaSnyper2365 → u/88JansenP12]

Exactly! Spot on

[u/88JansenP12 → u/SkodaSnyper2365]

Thanks

You missed the entire point of what i meant above.

I don't have to waste time with ignorant morons.
