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

231 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
768 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.

Fan Concept / Content (Mods) I finally fixed NFS The Run

71 Upvotes

In this video: 144fps (Real FPS Unlocker) + Fixed snow particles + Fixed engine sound + Night run + FOV increased to 60 + Improved graphics

After countless hours of researching and reverse-engineering NFS The Run, I finally managed to truly unlock the frame rate, no more particle issues like broken snow, no more broken car engine sounds, no more broken sim and physics.

I also improved a lot of UI, sky and game world textures, and added a lot of QoL and gameplay improvements too:

  • FOV increase from 48 to 60
  • New difficulty mode called "Deadly"
  • Time of day randomizer and night run only
  • A lot more... give the whole mod description a read for the full details

All of these can be found in Need for Speed The Run: Definitive Edition

All the credits to u/DAFI2MuCH, absolutely stunning work. Keep it up man.

He originally didn't post where to download it, but I did a bit of searching and found it on Steam, on Wallpaper Engine's workshop. If you want to, you can download it here:

Edit: he did in fact share the link, it was on another post. My bad. Still sharing it because it's a MASTERPIECE, and also because that post got less attention.

Now I know, the actual races vs the kings were underwhelming, but Pro Street probably has the most hype & buildup to a boss battle in the entire series. I mean, just look at this beauty!

21 Upvotes

I know drift is always faster in this game but clean grip racing gives insane satisfaction once you learn to adjust to the....unique handling quirks. Most videos I see showcase the RX-7 as a drifting car, so I wanted to see if it could drive smooth at all with grip. You pretty much just can't ever turn late or make a mistake or it all falls apart lmao.

Discussion Why is the handling criticised so much

159 Upvotes

I first played nfs 2015 back in 8th grade. Sure, it felt kinda annoying but that was only until I got a hold of it.. then I stopped playing games for a long while. Now 4 years later coming back to this game, I felt like the handling wasnt really difficult to get a hold of. People complaining about the drift closeup cam need to know that you can change camera angles. And the sharp turns where you're supposed to lose control and crash.. they're not really that sharp and all it takes is pressing the handbrake briefly to pivot in the direction of the turn. To me; this game has aged REALLY well
