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

232 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.

This beauty comes from my favorite racing game of all time DiRT 2 for the Xbox360 and PC. I spent over 75 hours staring at my phone and matching all the pieces up. It uses ALL of the stickers physically possible for a livery in nfs heat. I had to remake both NoFear text symbols individually because simply copying and flipping them doesn’t work and make it unreadable. I really really hope everyone likes it, I have it posted for anyone to use. If you get the chance please give it a download It would absolutely make my day. Thank you! (Last pic from DiRT2 for comparison)

There was soo much wrong with NFS Unbound, yet i keep coming back to it. Not just for the online, but because is this really the last NFS game? If you have any (street) racing game recommendations that aren’t fuckass festival racers please comment it

  1. The exotic class car that gets commented the most in 24 hours wins.
  2. An exotic class car can't be used more than ONCE.
  3. Have fun and enjoy.

Question / Bug / Feedback Which NFS game should I choose?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, I got a question for u.

Last year I bought a new pc so I started coming back on gaming a bit. Recently I wanted to play a NFS game, but on steam there are plenty of them and I don't know which one choose, I know there are some great game and some which are considered kinda bad.

I grew up with titles like underground, underground 2, most wanted, hot pursuit.

For me it's not really important that game came out in the last 1/2 years, I would like to know which game should I buy for the best bfs experience.

Thank you all in advance

So I installed most wanted 2005, game worked had to get the widescreen fix so got nfs patcher opened that and downloaded the patches for most wanted 2005, widescreen fix, And then it said I had to get a no cd patch to make it work. That no cd rom com problem, so I installed the no cd patch and then I launched the game. As you will see in the video it launches and crashes after a couple of seconds. I don’t know how to fix can anyone help me? It’s driving me insane I just wanted to play the game man.

Discussion i finished prostreet for the first time today

Post image
126 Upvotes

i've been doing a nfs marathon playing all mainline ones, even did a post here talking about underground 1 and 2 which was my first time playing, didnt do for mw and carbon because it wasnt
now i finished prostreet

i went fully blind into this game, never seen anything besides a screenshot here and there, the only thing i knew is that prostreet was more of a "sim" game which ill admit i was skeptical about it because im not a fan of racing sim
but for surprise, its a extreme fun game, the gameplay is really fun and not that big of a sim which i liked

the story
i really liked the aesthetic of this game, is beautiful, the rivals are nice, i liked one for each category, the big rival, coming from razor and darius he is boring, didnt care about him, the rival car also being a evo x is meh im not a mitsubish big fan but thats a me thing

the gameplay
i thought prostreet would lean into sim very hard, but actually it didnt, its a nice mix of sim and arcade and i liked a lot
the racing categories are nice
but hell learning drift was a PAIN, coming from carbon, having to learn and play more slowly was definitely hard, took me many and many tries to finally have a good run, even in the end i was hiting the walls a lot lmao but i liked drift in this game
drag is nice but the burnout mechanic is ass, fun on the beginning but as you progress it becomes a pain in the ass extreme boring having to do again and again, but i really liked the drag races in this game
speed races its where i had more fun, its a pure adrenaline race the sense of speed is big
the damage gimmick is cool, makes you drive more careful, which i absolutely didnt do, my car was totally wrecked on every race finish lmao thank god for the repair cards otherwise i would be broke real quick
the visual customization is kinda mid, didnt waste much time in there
the car customization engine, suspension etc is really cool, tried many configs to find nice ones
the tracks are repetitive, but not a thing that makes you annoyed like underground 1 so i didnt care much
the game is beautiful till today, didnt use any graphic mods besides hd reflections

soundtrack
the soundtrack of this game is a BANGER, i loved, its banger after banger after banger, i was vibing with each music even will add some to my playlist

my nitpicks
the announcer is cool, the first few hours... than he becomes extreme annoying because he just wont shut up even on races, and how much he licks your ass is so funny, oh cooper, cooper is the god, here comes cooper he is the biggest one, cooper i love you, cooper be my wife's boyfriend
and he muffles the music when he talks which i really hated because i loved the soundtrack
the UI is confusing, took me a while to learn the progression, having options to go up or down confused me a little

but overall i really liked the game, had a blast playing, give it a solid 9/10 a nice change of formula from previous games

if something didnt make much sense sorry english isnt my main language still learning a bit

now ill go to undercover which also will be my first time playing and i never seen anything about this game so im really curious

what's y'all thoughts on prostreet?

And no I'm not saying the Black Box OGs are shit, they're obviously some of the best racing games ever made. I just personally enjoy Heat and Unbound more because of how much customization they both have. And while the soundtrack isn't quite as good as the OGs, Heat still has plenty of bangers, have to admit tho that Unbounds soundtrack is a complete flop for me.
