Welcome to the Need for Speed Forum!

[smoky meadow]

I always found the notion of making your own magazine covers extremely cool.

Since I have alot of love for car magazines since I used to buy so many of them.

[icy lance]

at least its just the first magazine

[smoky meadow]

Yeah I suppose I shouldn't expect much considering that.

[icy lance]

could have more going on on it tho

no text about whatever is in the magazine

[smoky meadow]

Exactly.

It's terrible, but I suppose you get what you pay for.

A cheap cover for a cheap maazgine.

The later ones at least have some color and texture and titles and girls on them.

[icy lance]

girls in front of the cars woo

2000s

softcore porn mags with cars in the background

[smoky meadow]

Eh, it was mostly just the covers anyway.

The actual magazines included information and news about cars.

[icy lance]

BOOBS

BOOBS

BOOBS

naked girls on cars

phone sex hotline adverts

Where is the car magazine with naked men on them?
Sexists smh

[smoky meadow]

I am sure that exists too.

Gay porn tapes were quite frequent back then as well.

Probably even more so now.

Alot of which includes cars as well.

Not to mention nowadays people have found a new fetish

Called Femboys

Which is like the entry level of being into men.

Means its accessible.

Why are we even talking about this.

[icy lance]

gay car sex!

femboys arent a fetish 😭

but the whole sissy thing is

[smoky meadow]

Isn't that what femboys are about?

Then again there are more straight femboys than there are gay ones so, go figure.

[icy lance]

femboys is an aesthetic

[smoky meadow]

I guess I wanna be a pretty boy too.

[sterile nova]

First cover with my car.

Couldn't make anything super flashy yet as most of the decal options are locked.

That's two.

[sterile nova]

I gave my car a visual upgrade. This will work for now, but I'm still debating on what will work.

[pine sleet]

looks sweet

[smoky meadow]

Quite nice.

[icy lance]

Was palmont a republican city or democrat?

[smoky meadow]

Wait what?!

[smoky meadow]

I guess we'll see when we check the charts for how many votes came to which side from Palmont

[icy lance]

wolf definitely voted republican

angie would have thought the republicans weren't racist enough

[wide crystal]

perhaps both

need for speed undercover has similar billboard to that definitely

[smoky meadow]

Pfft.

[sterile nova]

I don't know what it says on the bottom right.

[wide crystal]

i think that's Swedish

[smoky meadow]

Nice.

[earnest estuary]

holy shit

Garbage

[timid panther]

Oh god, when I used Grindr I'd see dudes basically demanding sissy in their bio

[icy lance]

sissy = insecure about their sexuality

[smoky meadow]

Hmm.

Didn't know that.

[timid panther]

Bruh

Why tf is that a fetish lol

[pine sleet]

dominance

[sterile nova]

I forgot SUVs are a thing in Underground 2. And since the visual rating is a thing, I'm probably gonna rice the hell out of this Hummer.

[shy summit]

the SUVs are so good for ICE installs

[sterile nova]

ICE?

[icy lance]

https://tenor.com/view/migos-quavo-rolex-bling-smile-gif-9846364

[wide crystal]

nice h2 under the bumper

[shy summit]

In Car Entertainment.... I feel so old explaining that

kids when you hit 19 it goes downhill fast just don't age okay

[earnest estuary]

too late, i turn 21 this may

[shy summit]

it's already begun

[shy summit]

yoooooo hawt

[wide crystal]

smooth build so far

[smoky meadow]

I actually didn't know that's what ICE stood for.

[smoky meadow]

That's a quite nice.

[sterile nova]

Oh. I didn't know it was called that. And I was planning on doing that anyway.

[sterile nova]

Almost done with Stage 3. I also went ahead and check med what other cars were on the list, and I think I know what cars I'll get next. For now, it's the Toyota Supra, the Mitsubishi 3000GT, and obviously, the Nissan Skyline.

And I made sure to get the outrun rewards too.

[earnest estuary]

is that vin80

[glacial kindle]

clean what game is that

[pine sleet]

NFS 2O15

[glacial kindle]

i never played it

[glacial kindle]

is it worth it

[pine sleet]

its fun

if you can get used to the physics and not be a little bitch about it yes

[glacial kindle]

its cheap asf now so might grab it from cex

[pine sleet]

get it on sale

the physics are weird and unstable and it's online only but its alot of fun, pretty much Underground 3

[glacial kindle]

lol ive heard there horrible but cant be worse than rivals?

[glacial kindle]

sick

[pine sleet]

Rivals is fun too, personally Payback is the worst of the modern era nfs games

[glacial kindle]

yes

[cobalt thunder]

Where could I get BlackBox NFS games like U2, Carbon, ProStreet
its been so long since I played them, but I want to give them a shot again with mods and whatnot

[pine sleet]

r/nfs discord

[cobalt thunder]

oh wow, they got it all, thanks a lot

[glacial kindle]

i got them off oldgamesdownload.com

[pine sleet]

ok

[glacial kindle]

its got stuff from about 2010 to the 60s

not everything but only abandonware

[cobalt thunder]

There's NFS from the 60s? /s

[sterile nova]

Here's my Hummer so far. I'd do more, but I'm low on cash.

[sterile nova]

Also I got my Supra.

[glacial kindle]

no just all games in general

[pine sleet]

No lmao, NFS only started in like '94 or so

[glacial kindle]

yeah 94 or 95 it was

[sterile nova]

I decided to play around with the customization before investing money into it on the career. Here's what I got so far.

[daring basalt]

Sick rides man

[sterile nova]

I'm satisfied with this one.

[sterile nova]

Also I think the disc reader died.

[sterile nova]

I stand corrected. The disc is unreadable.

[glacial kindle]

what happened

[pine sleet]

WIP

[wide crystal]

https://youtu.be/GLiEUF7QC98

[smoky meadow]

Always liked the way this car looked.

[sterile nova]

No idea. The disc looks fine, but my console can't read it anymore.

[pine sleet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhW3bQYIkNU

No game does busted scenes like Undercover

Where the player embarrasses himself by tripping over police lights like a dumbass

[icy lance]

its almost as brutal as real life

we need realistic busted scenes in the next nfs
where the player gets beaten to death

[pine sleet]

not even beaten

if your character is black the cops will be 10 times harder and will choke you to death

[icy lance]

and you have to restart the entire game

its a rouge like

[smoky meadow]

But that won't happen.

Cause we're white

Sorry.

But eitherway, yeah undercover busted scenes were quite brutal.

[icy lance]

funny considering youre undercover

those cops are going to get paid vacation because of that

[smoky meadow]

Indeed.

It's weird frankly.

It's like they wanna make it look authentic so no one gets suspicious.

But I think it was overdone too.

They had personal grudges.

[timid panther]

When I see ICE I think Internal Combustion Engine lol

[sterile nova]

I'm sad. I can't play Underground 2. The disc looks fine, but it won't play.

[daring basalt]

aww

bummer

[pine sleet]

in lore the cops don’t even know you’re undercover

thats actually how they play it out for you

[sterile nova]

I bought a copy of Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005. Here's hoping it'll work.

[pine sleet]

get well soon

[pine sleet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY0rOZK5UlA

this is fucking amazing lmao

[smoky meadow]

Very nice then

[glacial kindle]

your reader is toast then. happened to my ps1. best thing to do is buy a replacement

[timid panther]

Xbox 360 reader is known to be a cunt

I always had to whack my old 360 just to open the disc drive lol

[sterile nova]

I already checked if it could read a 360 disc, and it can.

[pine sleet]

did you clean it?

[timid panther]

Which 360 is it

Show a picture of the 360

[timid panther]

That should have BC

Is it connected to internet?

I think you need an internet connection for BC

[sterile nova]

It is.

[pine sleet]

why would it be BC? It came out like 2,006 years after he was born smh

[timid panther]

You have an official hard drive I assume, and it has an internet connection

Is the disk clean? No scratches?

[sterile nova]

I cannot show right now as I'm at work right now.

[timid panther]

Ok, check when you're at home

Sometimes it can be as simple as a dirty/scratched disk

[sterile nova]

I remember it having a couple tiny scratches from being in the case when I first got it.

[timid panther]

That may be the issue

[sinful totem]

What's an issue

I too lazy to scroll

And read up

[timid panther]

The scratches on the disk

[sinful totem]

Oh

[timid panther]

That might be why their game isn't working

Xbox 360 sometimes kicks off over the smallest scratches

[sinful totem]

Isn't it just most disc player or smt like that

Any scratches or even fucking fungus

It won't play

[timid panther]

Lol

[sterile nova]

It was able to read the disc just fine earlier.

[timid panther]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Xbox act in mysterious ways

One minute it'll be working fine next you have a red ring situation

[sterile nova]

Mine got the red ring of death years ago only once.

[timid panther]

Consoles can survive the red ring luckily

As there's many red rings

Depending how it flashes

Basically flashes a specific pattern to tell you what's wrong

[shy summit]

Xbox quality

[glacial kindle]

my ps3 has overheat

idk how to fix it

[pine sleet]

clean your fans

[glacial kindle]

just that gen isnt very hardwearing

[glacial kindle]

done multiple times

[smoky meadow]

Hmm.

[timid panther]

Jailbreak, set the fans to maximum

Although not for too long coz that can also damage the fans lol

[glacial kindle]

Yeah might open it up again coz my dad did it last couple times so ima see if I can do it better

nice

[wide crystal]

honestly it's beautiful

[sterile nova]

That is cool.

[wet onyx]

i thought it was lost prophets for a second and was about to kick off

[icy lance]

nfs underground rivals remake when?

[wide crystal]

good question

[pine sleet]

I was gonna do it but I got recruited into a team that wanted to do it too

though it's strayed so I kinda started focusing on U2+

[icy lance]

fans shouldnt remake games

make your own and sell it

[pine sleet]

oh its not a recreation

it was a U2 mega mods that would basically make U2s story mode better

and not a snorefest

and instead of Rachel and Caleb you'd have the 4 rivals being a boss of each stage besides 1

[icy lance]

put the time into making an actual game

[pine sleet]

me and Levi will do that

We're gonna use Unreal 5

[icy lance]

i reccomend purposely making the game look retroy so you dont have to put as much effort into realism

[pine sleet]

EXACTLY

I wanna use low poly models so it's not so stressful

[icy lance]

indie unreal games look so trash half the time

because they try and look realistic, but it ends up as a mish mash of different quality models and maps

[smoky meadow]

I don't think that'll go over well with people.

[smoky meadow]

Sometimes it's for other reasons.

[icy lance]

nah retro style games do well thesedays

ultrakill

dusk

horizon chase

[smoky meadow]

Hmm.. well its one thing to have them be retro styled, and another thing to have them be appealing.

[icy lance]

easier to make retro styling appealing than realistic

[smoky meadow]

Well, if that were true, they would be more successful.

The difference here is however

Back when Underground 1 and 2 were made, Blackbox were aiming for maximum accuracy and realism

That sort of a thing isn't considered retro these days

It's simply outdated

[icy lance]

kinda is retro

[smoky meadow]

Bceause the game never was intentionally made with the graphics that it was made with out of wanting it to be that way

It was aiming for realism and it achieved ir well for that period's standard

[icy lance]

it has charm nowdays

nostalgic for many now

hear me out

in a couple years youre gonna be seeing alot of ps2 styled indie games

we used to have alot of pixel art games

now we are getting alot of late 90s 3d games

[smoky meadow]

I know what you mean Mammalizer, but I don't see it being applicable here.

That's fair, though I believe it'll take more than a few years for something like that to become the norm.

So I guess we'll wait and see.

PS2 still wasn't that long ago

[icy lance]

ps2 was 20 years ago

in the 2010s ps1 was considered retro being 20 years old

and people who grew up with ps2 era are adults now, and have the potential to make games inspired by their childhood

[smoky meadow]

I wouldn't say PS2 isn't retro
Just that the artstyle is still of no interest

[icy lance]

i think it is retro

we have come so far compared to ps2 days

[smoky meadow]

The reason why I believe 2015 is a proper sequal to Underground is because the game is doing what those older games did

Aiming for maximum graphical realism and accuracy

While being set in night

Underground never had a style of its own like Ratchet and Clank

Well, bar the music and menus.

[smoky meadow]

I still don't see it gaining much of a market.

[icy lance]

it kinda had its own style

especially ug2

[smoky meadow]

PS1 retro games struggle these days

[icy lance]

that had high contrast and quite dark

[smoky meadow]

Let alone Ps2 retro games

[smoky meadow]

Which was replicated in 2015

[icy lance]

wouldnt say so
at least in the fps genre 90s style 3d shooters are very popular

[smoky meadow]

Well, there needs to be a reason for them to be

It doesn't happen if the games are good necessarily

Look at Ravenfield

Is it a good game? No

Is ir moddable? Yes

Same reason why BeamNG and Automation are so popualr.

Being easily moddable and being relatively fine as a game garunetees success.

[smoky meadow]

But I digress, please do disagree with me.

Cause I don't agree with myself either.

[pine sleet]

KITXX_BODY has been removed entirely.

Replaced by KITXX_FENDER and KITXX_QUARTER

The missing parts of the fender are attached to the taillights now

for creative purposes

[smoky meadow]

So now the fenders will be attached via the lights options.

That's clever.

[pine sleet]

only the furthest end is all

so I can try some crazy taillight ideas

[smoky meadow]

I like headlights and taillights usually staying as they are.

[sterile nova]

Underground 2 is working again. Somehow.

[shy summit]

good, enjoy it

[sterile nova]

These races are getting harder, and my Civic is starting to struggle.

[sterile nova]

Close call!

The car almost overheated twice.

[timid panther]

For the switch lol

[timid panther]

Hell, some people even consider Xbox 360 kinda retro lol

PSP is also considered kinda retro

[woeful kayak]

last fucking lap and i flip on this corner

[icy lance]

No you're weird

[smoky meadow]

Maybe I should play NFS again.

[bronze iris]

Do it in style

[icy lance]

move woman! i cant see the car!

[bronze iris]

Lmao

[sterile nova]

I did another one, but I forgot to take a picture.

[smoky meadow]

You can indeed barely see

[sterile nova]

There we go.

[smoky meadow]

Nice picture

[shy summit]

extend the gears then

[sterile nova]

I can do that?

[sterile nova]

Would you believe me if I said I never knew Underground 2 had tuning?

[icy lance]

yes

[pine sleet]

yes

it's kinda tucked away tbf

but imo it's the best in the franchise

along with 2015 and ProStreet

[smoky meadow]

Indeed

And it really serves no purpose

Maybe that's because I'm just an idiot

[pine sleet]

it's mainly used for multiplayer tbh

[smoky meadow]

Who never was able to tune cars properly

[pine sleet]

but tuning cars in U2 is fun as hell and gives the game more to do

[smoky meadow]

And it's bold to assume anyone ever played this game's multiplayer during its time

[pine sleet]

probably did

people sure as hell do nowadays

I actually wonder if they do, I should reinstall gameranger

[smoky meadow]

Well, only you as far as I know

Playing this online is just a pain

Getting LAN to work nowadays needs alot of backtracking

[pine sleet]

like every other NFS U2 has its meta

nonono

U1 and U2 multiplayer is the easiest

U1 has a whole client

U2 just needs gameranger

[smoky meadow]

You sure?

Maybe I should try it with you at some point

[pine sleet]

Start a U2 server on gameranger with no effort and people can join

I'll send you my copy so you can help me with some photoshoots

I just need to find a cam toolkit for it bc ExtOps ain't it

[smoky meadow]

I'd be more than happy to help

[smoky meadow]

You're too kind, but I will need to clean out my PC

I fuckinb hate how unorganised my shit is..

But I do need to be useful

The beauty of irl NFS cars

official btw

not fan builds

[wide crystal]

Do the icons from nfs 2015 count?

[pine sleet]

i guess so

[sterile nova]

I don't think the drivers were coded properly for the track. I've noticed they've been slamming themselves against the walls at certain points.

Stage 4 is done. Only one more to go.

[timid panther]

Soup

[stark loom]

https://youtu.be/mT4qYe9cqks

[sterile nova]

My Supra is maxed out on the visual ratings.

Also I think the car unlock order is different because according to the wiki, I should've unlocked the Skyline by now after finishing 16 URL races, but I haven't.

[pine sleet]

You in Stage 5?

[sterile nova]

Yes.

[pine sleet]

did you check your stats

[sterile nova]

Checking now.

[pine sleet]

you might've miscounted or smth

[sterile nova]

I'm looking at the car lot right now, and there's no Skyline.

[icy lance]

My car unlock order was different to the wiki

[pine sleet]

0/10 wiki

[sterile nova]

You think the different versions of the game have different unlock orders between the console and/or national versions? I know that occasionally happens.

[wide crystal]

skyline is unlocked at the end of the game, before the subaru impreza

[sterile nova]

I distinctly remember me and my brother getting the Skyline before then end of the game.

[bronze iris]

Good luck with the URL races

Cos they're boring af

[sterile nova]

I already learned that. So I listen to stuff on YouTube to break the monotony.

News, commentary, podcasts, music, etc.

The annoying part is when that rubber band kicks in at the and I have to do the race all over again.

[glacial kindle]

is that U1 or U2

[pine sleet]

2

[sterile nova]

U1 isn't backward compatible. Learned that the hard way.

[icy lance]

i have ug1 for xbox with an actual xbox

[smoky meadow]

Hey pretty nice

[smoky meadow]

[sterile nova]

This is probably the best one I've done.

This is the last one I've done too, and I'm pretty sure this will be the final design for my Skyline.

[icy lance]

[smoky meadow]

That's great actually

Only one more race to go.

Won on my first try. And I didn't have to use any NOS.

[fickle totem]

aaa cursed front bumper swap 😂

[smoky meadow]

To be honest I can see this being a lore friendly car in GTA or saints row or something of similar sort

[pine sleet]

The Calico Jester

lol

[pine sleet]

I only put the Supra back to it's roots is all lol

[smoky meadow]

Not the worst idea

[smoky meadow]

That is true

It's once again Celica supra

[pine sleet]

If I can, I'm gonna make a Sileighty conversion from scratch

but we'll see

I made one before but it was awful bc the Silvia front end wasn't low poly like literally the rest of the car and I didn't know how to do it at the time anyways lol

[smoky meadow]

Now you definitely can do it alot better

I once had a similar situation

I made a skin on ACX which was my first skin and over time I made better skins and learned better techniques

And ever since I wanted to make a better version of my first skin

So I did and it ended up looking so much better

[pine sleet]

ooooh that reminds me

a friend who's in closed space, katana who has been in this server before way back when, was making an Ace Combat fanfic (nothing weird but) I thought you'd be interested

my beloved

I've been getting addicted to this game all over again lol

[smoky meadow]

Really? That's pretty cool

Do you know the name of the fanfic? I may check it out

[smoky meadow]

Really? I am suprised to hear that

[pine sleet]

Not sure but you can @ him in closed space

he goes by Weast there

[smoky meadow]

Thanks. I'll ask him in a bit

[pine sleet]

dude uhhh

The cops brought up chop shops

and it has me wondering

Was Most Wanted 2 gonna have Undercover style missions?

I mean, the whole take out the driver and get his car bit stuck around and all

and the whole steal a car thing did too as a matter of fact

[smoky meadow]

It is possible frankly

Those types of missions definitely would have fit that mindset and goal

It would work for the type of story you'd work towards

[pine sleet]

I just noticed @smoky meadow

The MW12 350Z has the rear box flares but not the front fenders

[smoky meadow]

Rear box flares?

You mean it has rear fenders and not front?

[pine sleet]

yeah, they're subtle box flares

[smoky meadow]

Oooh I think I see what you mean

Yeah now that I notice it, it's a weird way they've decided to do things

[pine sleet]

yeah, though not the Z-Tune style front fenders the Shift version had

[smoky meadow]

Yeah this is something else

Bit of a weird mixture of designs and parts this car is

[pine sleet]

Leave it to Most Wanted 2012, and only Most Wanted 2012, to have a race that's all British cars lmao

[smoky meadow]

hehehe

[pine sleet]

my beloved

[wide crystal]

beloved rose's porsche

[sterile nova]

It's here.

[smoky meadow]

Have fun then

[sterile nova]

Don't celebrate yet. Still gotta check if the disc is readable.

Good start.

If there was any dlc for this game, it's no longer accessible.

[smoky meadow]

There never was any dlc

[sterile nova]

There wasn't? Okay then.

Here we go

[icy lance]

razor m3!!!

[sterile nova]

You mean the players M3. Razor cheated to get it, remember?

[icy lance]

but its his

razer m3

clearance california razer

[smoky meadow]

Pfft

[sterile nova]

I finished the prologue and got my first car.

[icy lance]

nice skyline

[tired remnant]

What are you saying

That clearly is razor m3

[sterile nova]

Fun fact, I stuck with this car for almost the whole game when I played it on the original Xbox.

But I never finished because I was stuck at #2 on the blacklist.

[icy lance]

so it is razor's car
because you never got it back

[sterile nova]

I also lost my copy of Most Wanted, so I never had the chance to finish.

[pine sleet]

I beat MW05 once

that's one too many but I needed to

I want to finish every mainline NFS

and Rivals

[sterile nova]

I'm about to go up against Sonny.

[sterile nova]

His car is mine. One down, fourteen to go.

[sterile nova]

I'm gonna try to get all their cars, but I'm definitely not gonna keep them all. Off the top of my head, I'm sure I'll keep Vic's Supra, Earl's Lancer, Jewel's Mustang, and, JV's Viper, Ming's Gallardo.

[fickle totem]

ma love m5

[vagrant sparrow]

144p

[smoky meadow]

Huh, what a mod

[sterile nova]

Time to face Taz.

I didn't get his car, and I can't try again because I forgot to turn the autosave off.

[pine sleet]

you can just

restart it before continuing

it doesn't autosave

until you continue

old NFS autosave wasn't really autosave, just "skip the confirmation"

[sterile nova]

This game does have autosave.

[pine sleet]

I know it does

but it doesn't do it when you pick cards

[sterile nova]

I could also just restart. I've only beaten two in the blacklist, so I can get back up no problem.

[pine sleet]

or just get it over with tbh

[sterile nova]

I also just noticed the drivers in the car don't move a muscle.

[pine sleet]

well yeah

it's just a texture lmao

"MW05 cops best cops" THEY HAVE NO WEIGHT

but nah I stand corrected, MW uses 3d driver models

[sterile nova]

I don't think driver animations were a thing yet. At least not in arcade racers.

[pine sleet]

Though I can thank Unbound for finally liking the Cayman

and ProStreet actually, the Race Boy Cayman is beautiful

[earnest estuary]

I love Caymans

[icy lance]

the cayman is swag

[pine sleet]

Cayman is indeed swag

anyways why do police cars weigh significantly less than street signs

[icy lance]

budget cuts

[earnest estuary]

they did it
they defunded the police

[icy lance]

from 2 billion dollars a week its now a billion dollars a week

[earnest estuary]

[sinful totem]

The "new" NFS mobile I think it's forgotten

[sterile nova]

Got Taz's car.

[sterile nova]

Now I got Vic's car, and I'm gonna stick with his car for a while.

[pine sleet]

why

[sterile nova]

Because I like his car.

[pine sleet]

Supra

[sterile nova]

I'm not gonna stick with it the whole game, just for a while.

[pine sleet]

rip

I started with the RX-7 btw

But I'll hop on

[sterile nova]

I do plan on getting the RX-7 when I can.

[icy lance]

Punto best car

[pine sleet]

I'm gonna get the 911 Turbo S

and I'm done with the game until I'm severely bored again

[pine sleet]

inccredible

yeah fuck this imma play 2012 again

[smoky meadow]

Heh.. didn't keep.you interested for too long

I can't blame you

I enjoyed playing Mw05 when I got it, but its only fun for one playthrough

[sterile nova]

Is that a mod?

[pine sleet]

extra options

[pine sleet]

essentially yes

After beating it once, I don't really enjoy it

Maybe online is more fun unlike U2 where it's a bunch of Brazilians who treat U2 like an esport

[smoky meadow]

Hahaha

Now that's just great

[earnest estuary]

https://youtu.be/6piuPb_epOw
Old video I found from when I first started watching YouTube (watch in 144p for best experience )

[sterile nova]

I just found this.

https://youtu.be/wZrjEuS24-A

And he did a Carbon video more recently

https://youtu.be/X7bRArcElC8

[pine sleet]

LETS FUCKING GO BABY

[earnest estuary]

touch grass
now

a whole hour pursuit got damn

[pine sleet]

I've done an hour long pursuit in Carbon as well

[earnest estuary]

What car?

I know you had the MP4-12C in MW2012

[pine sleet]

M3 GTR in MW, I don't remember what I used for Carbon

I got in the McLaren to lose the heat

[earnest estuary]

I miss the MP4-12C

[pine sleet]

same

[bronze iris]

I don't

[pine sleet]

because you are a hater smh

[tired remnant]

L take

[bronze iris]

I don't care

[pine sleet]

(Yes she does)

[tired remnant]

(real)

[sterile nova]

I just realized why I wished some of the visual parts from Underground 2, Most Wanted, and Carbon came back in the modern titles. It's because some of them look better than some of the manufactured parts. At least I think they do.

For instance, the rear wings in the modern titles. Some of them are too big and/or tall for my liking.

[pine sleet]

I just want them back bc I think it's a waste not to

[smoky meadow]

Same

[pine sleet]

this guy is pissing me off

He sucks on circuit but is always able to 1UP me on the drag strip

[smoky meadow]

It's pretty weird no douht

I don't like him either

[pine sleet]

He's such a pain 😭

in a good way though, makes it fun

[wide crystal]

Vtec moment

[daring basalt]

Definitely a VTEC moment

[smoky meadow]

Yeah better than the cheating Wade Jackson lol

And his incredibly fast 240sx

Not cheating maybe; but he is hadd

[pine sleet]

or Rudy Chen, the KKR of ProStreet

[smoky meadow]

That one is indeed cheating

Because of the terribly quick 911

It's terrifyingly quick

[pine sleet]

especially in sector shootouts

[smoky meadow]

Indeed

Those are the worst ones

And you only face Rudy on very technical tracks

Which makes him even worse to face

[pine sleet]

My grip cars

400hp IS 350 and the zippy GTi

[smoky meadow]

Oooh

This is very nice

[pine sleet]

drag civic

Speed 240

[icy lance]

TAZ from the worst nfs game

[pine sleet]

[smoky meadow]

Sorry I am late

They look really good

[smoky meadow]

Holy crap i suprised one could come this close

[wide crystal]

if i'm not wrong, there's also the saleen mustang

[icy lance]

probably

[wide crystal]

definitely, i've had one in yellow for unknown reason

[smoky meadow]

Excellent

[sterile nova]

That's Jewel's Mustang, right?

[icy lance]

yes

[sterile nova]

I remember losing to that bitch a lot in the drag race.

It was more due to the traffic than her.

[earnest estuary]

taz is in no limits?

[wide crystal]

https://youtu.be/x4Na4JacRX8

[sterile nova]

Izzy's down. Big Lou is next up.

And I gotta say, Izzy's RX-8 design is cooler than I remember.

[timid panther]

I need to play this on PC

I completed it on PS2

[pine sleet]

Same but vice versa

[timid panther]

Fairs

My PC won't run the PS2 version too great I don't think

Older CPU/GPU

[pine sleet]

I have it on an actual PS2 so get fuck

[timid panther]

Tbf I haven't really been able to, haven't actually downloaded any lol

And my discs are a little scratched

So PCSX2 has issues with them

[shy summit]

I grew up with this version, it's fine

[icy lance]

Who are the lesbians in the corner?

[tired remnant]

Me

[sterile nova]

I got Vic's Supra up to heat 3, and now the pursuits are getting more dangerous.

[sterile nova]

Big Lou's down, and his car is mine. That's 5 down, 10 to go. It's only gonna get harder from here.

Fun fact, when I played Most Wanted on the original Xbox years ago, Big Lou's car was the first one I got a pink slip for.

[timid panther]

So far it actually seems to be running it?

It'll run fine up till about 720p

If I try to go 1080 it just starts going a little angry

[timid panther]

BRO WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT

HOW THE FUCK IS THIS CUNT GAINING SPEED AT THE LAST FUCKING SECOND

Bruv, this cunt is literally gaining so much speed within so little time how the fuck

[pine sleet]

I just realized that MW12 doesn't have achievements on Steam

[timid panther]

Bruh, UC on PS2 feels hella broken lol

Sometimes the AI are dogshit, like they won't keep up, and then other times they're godlike and will instantly rocket from back of the pack to 1st in like 2 seconds lol

[sterile nova]

I just got busted because I rested by accident.

[pine sleet]

It's basically a mobile NFS

[timid panther]

I've done that many times

Accidentally pressed the reset button

[sterile nova]

I'm in the top 10 of the blacklist.

[pine sleet]

crgine

[sterile nova]

Earl's taken down. The rubberband kept kicking in at the tail end of the sprint race, so it took me a few tries to win.

I didn't get his car though, so I'm gonna try again. After that, that bitch Jewels is next.

[sterile nova]

Now I got his car.

[timid panther]

Porge

[sterile nova]

Time to face that bitch Jewels.

Is it obvious that I don't like her?

[icy lance]

Why don't you like her?

[paper belfry]

I have found cringe

[sterile nova]

Because I had the most trouble with her out of all the blacklist members.

[icy lance]

Skill

Tissue

[sterile nova]

Okay for some reason I got a message from Ronnie taunting me for beating Jewels, but I think I was suppose to get that message after beating JV.

[pine sleet]

Who cares just get the game over with

and then move onto the better most wanted bc i want more friends to roam with and whatnot

[sterile nova]

Aren't you on PC?

[pine sleet]

Lemme guess

you aren’t

[sterile nova]

Bingo.

[vagrant sparrow]

Legaming

[sterile nova]

Cross play was not a thing yet in 2012.

[sterile nova]

Kaze's been dealt with.

[pine sleet]

2012 still has a chance at getting remastered

[sterile nova]

I heard Ming's Gallardo is pretty OP and that I could effectively use just his car for the rest of the game.

[sterile nova]

Ming's down and out, and his car is mine.

[icy lance]

minger

[sterile nova]

Looks like what I heard about Ming's Gallardo was right. With the exception of the NOS, all the max parts were installed.

[pine sleet]

how about

get a 911 turbo

its MWs RSR essentially

[icy lance]

use the punto

[sterile nova]

I do have a Porsche, but it's Baron's Cayman S, which I have as my designated pursuit vehicle.

[pine sleet]

again

Turbo S

[sterile nova]

Alright I'll get it.

Can't get it yet. I need to beat Webster first.

[sterile nova]

Made it into the top 5 with Webster's car in tow. And yes, I got the Porsche Turbo S.

[sterile nova]

However currently, it's specs are not as high as the Gallardo or Corvette.

[pine sleet]

just sell the two then

the Corvette and Gallardo ain't shit compared to this

[smoky meadow]

That's a nice Porsche build

[vagrant sparrow]

Oh yeah that's decent

Me likey

[sterile nova]

It's stats are not as high because I don't have access to the best parts yet. I need to beat Ronnie, and I can't do that yet.

[sterile nova]

JV's Viper is mine. I remember his was the last car I got on the original Xbox.

[pine sleet]

I remember beating MW05

and never wanting to play it again

If I wasn't wanting to beat every mainline NFS I would've given up on it before after Vic

[sterile nova]

Also my 911 Turbo S is at max.

[pine sleet]

cool

use it through

until you get bitchboy car

then never play it again and play the superior Need for Speed Carbon

[sterile nova]

Also I forgot that I didn't like Ronnie's livery for his Aston Martin.

[sterile nova]

Also it's a shame that I can't get the Battle Royale mod for NFS Carbon. It would've made it more interesting.

[pine sleet]

Most Wanted lets you fuck your bumper up this bad lol

[pine sleet]

lmao

[smoky meadow]

Its a pretty Devestating damage too

If I saw a Porsche in this state in real life, itd make me feel a heart attack

[sterile nova]

You know, one mechanic I miss from Most Wanted is being able to change gears when I have the transmission set to automatic. Sometimes it's better to shift up a little early, and sometimes the revs are too low and I need to go back a gear to get better acceleration.

I've had to do that several times during my current playthrough.

Although the game does take a bit to remember that it's suppose to be automatic and doesn't change gears without my input.

[pine sleet]

imagine

[sterile nova]

Ronnie's dealt with, and I made it to the top 3. This was as far as I got on the original Xbox. This time, I will beat Bull and get my car back from Razor.

[pine sleet]

I beat Bull on my old PS2 save and then lost it

[wide crystal]

[wide crystal]

https://youtu.be/Pp5Nik83BI0 need for speed brazil

[smoky meadow]

Pfft

Very nice

[pine sleet]

misconceptions at their finest

NFS' identity is that it's never the exact same game over and over and over again

unlike Forza or The Crew

[smoky meadow]

Indeed

And people try and deny it

NFS is never one thing

It is a franchise meant to include anything and incorporate into an arcade racer

[wide crystal]

or even gran turismo

[pine sleet]

Fun Fact

MW05 was a success bc it brings the best of both worlds from Underground and Hot Pursuit

cop chases and custom cars

[smoky meadow]

That is true

it was sort of a mixture of Underground and Hot pursuit essentially

[wide crystal]

indeed

[sterile nova]

I lost all my heat on JV's Viper, and then Razor left me a message that got me back up to heat 5.

[sterile nova]

These cops are so bloodthirsty.

Now said Viper has a bounty of 3.4 million.

It would probably be higher if I didn't get busted twice.

[sterile nova]

Time to challenge Bull. From here on out, it's all blind for me.

[pine sleet]

homosexual

[tired remnant]

Real

[wide crystal]

since then, the drag races with webster and JV should be a trouble

[smoky meadow]

Guess so

[sterile nova]

Bull's been taken down, and his car is mine. All that's left is Razor.

[sterile nova]

Also gave my Porsche one last update.

[tired remnant]

Yoooooooooooo razor m3

[sterile nova]

MY m3. He cheated to take it from me.

[tired remnant]

Razor m3 you mean

[vagrant sparrow]

Razer bmw

[pine sleet]

skill issue

"razor cheated" no the M3 GTR is just a race car and is dogshit in terms of reliability

The P60 only lasted so long and BMW had to rebuild it every other race

[smoky meadow]

It should have probably Lasted through that entire race

Then again I have no idea how much the player had maintained it

[pine sleet]

maintained or not

he came in pushing it, did a bunch of races over the span of a few days

it was inevitable to break down

[smoky meadow]

Yeah that would make sense

Though I guess razor did alot of improving to it

Cause he managed to race it 5 times back to back during his event

[sterile nova]

I made a mistake. I forgot to save last night, so I gotta race Bull again.

He's not so hard though. For some reason he crashes a lot.

[sterile nova]

My bounty is now 10.4 million.

[sterile nova]

Time to race against Razor, and get my car back.

[sterile nova]

Got my car back, and it's time to run.

Made it.

[wet onyx]

k.

[pine sleet]

brain damage is tenfold that i can guarantee

[icy lance]

this isnt jewels
its mineral

[smoky meadow]

Hahaha

That bodykit is so big for the car

Terrible fitment too

[icy lance]

no one knew what fitment was until the 2010s

[smoky meadow]

Yeah but even for UG2 that's bad

Some cars don't have fitment this bad

The funny thing is however

The starter Integra from UG1 is the worst offendrr

Nobody talks about that car

But it was the starter car and it was really bad wirh the massive bodykit and bad fitment

[icy lance]

😠

the samurai integra is swag

[pine sleet]

Gonna make this in Unbound later today

[smoky meadow]

If it's swag

Then why is it such a hag

[icy lance]

grr

[smoky meadow]

Man this brings back memories

This bodykit was unironically so cool

Shame it hasn't reappeared in new NFS

[icy lance]

bring back massive kits

[pine sleet]

uhh

we do have massive kits lmao

[icy lance]

only a few nowdays with the custom thingy

[pine sleet]

have you seen the E92 in Unbound?

[icy lance]

in games its usually just wide arches

not wide body

[smoky meadow]

The new big kits usually are too crazy and not very stylish

[pine sleet]

It's a widebody, comes with a custom bumper too

[icy lance]

yes theres more in unbound which is good

but i miss when every car had 1 to 5

[smoky meadow]

I.guess it is what happens when you limit yourself to real life stuff

[pine sleet]

fair but that'll probably change as time goes on

[icy lance]

boo

theres cool real life stuff
they are just boring

[pine sleet]

Criterion actually said they'd add more customization unlike Ghost

also the widebody 918 is sick

[icy lance]

i like some of the stuff they added in unbound, but its not enough

[smoky meadow]

Cool real life stuff should just be customizable and auto sculpt-able spliters and wings and diffusers

[icy lance]

only a few cars
and looking at the player liveries, barely anyone even uses the car

[smoky meadow]

So we cam make.proper custom track racers

[smoky meadow]

Yet to see it happen

And I.have a feeling it won't happen

[icy lance]

i didnt even know the merc had that long tail until theo made a video on it like over 2 months after release

[smoky meadow]

Mercedes? Which one?

[pine sleet]

Again, it's not Ghost

[icy lance]

the convertable

[pine sleet]

They actually gave more to a handful of the older cars

I don't see why they wouldn't keep at it

[smoky meadow]

Ooooh

[pine sleet]

I mean

[smoky meadow]

95 Civic Type R: Allow me to introduce myself

[pine sleet]

Ghost added jackshit for the Cayman, even after adding a new one

Criterion gave it what, 3 widebody kits?

and then some?

[icy lance]

the cayman was a car i really wanted customisation on, glad criterion did it

[smoky meadow]

Seriously what do they have agasint giving that poor car a rear bumper

[smoky meadow]

That's too much

[icy lance]

its what every car should have

[pine sleet]

For NFS? If anything it's not enough

[smoky meadow]

Attention should have been spread out

So all cars get stuff

And not one car which nobody wants

[icy lance]

but if you spread it out, every car would get like 1.5 bumpers

[smoky meadow]

Getting 3 bodykits

[pine sleet]

OI

I love the Cayman jsyk

[smoky meadow]

I love the Cayman too

[pine sleet]

I've been wanting more Cayman customization since 2015

[smoky meadow]

But I know for a fact nobody playing 2015 to Unbound ever uses it

[pine sleet]

Nobody cared about it bc there was no customization for it

[icy lance]

porsche gayman

[pine sleet]

and also it wasn't that good in 2015 especiallt with the RSR

[smoky meadow]

Nobody cared because it was a Cayman

[icy lance]

grrr

cayman is cool

[smoky meadow]

Not in the eyes of the car community

[icy lance]

car community is cringe

omg supra omg nissan blah blah ricers bad

[smoky meadow]

It's just a cheap man 911

That's what theo always says too

[icy lance]

im not a fan of the 911 tbh

[smoky meadow]

Fun fact

You can't call it a Cayman anymore when it has no.roof

Now It's a Boxter

[pine sleet]

it was always called the Boxter

[icy lance]

take off those boxter shorts

[pine sleet]

lmao

It was always Boxter

[smoky meadow]

Oh they added a Boxter to the game?

Okay then

That's wasn't there befor

In heat I mean

[pine sleet]

It's not called the Boxter in-game but it's a Boxter

oh not Heat lmao

[icy lance]

box

[smoky meadow]

Idiots

[pine sleet]

Heat added the 718 and made the GT4 uncustomizable

[icy lance]

https://tenor.com/view/cory-jones-button-mashing-mma-k-kickboxing-windmill-gif-10155789

[smoky meadow]

Yeah

[pine sleet]

With Unbound both the 718 AND the GT4 are customizable

[smoky meadow]

Is.it still.the.case in this game?

[pine sleet]

no

[smoky meadow]

I heard some uncusyomizable cars from Heat are now customizable

[tired remnant]

I mean yeah

That's the point

[smoky meadow]

Hurucan performance, M4 GtS

[pine sleet]

The Nismos and M4 GTS still aren't but

[smoky meadow]

kills himself

[pine sleet]

The SVJs, Performantes, and the rest are

[tired remnant]

Corvette zr1:

[pine sleet]

I think the LaFerrari has a couple more options than before but I may be wrong

Lemme check the ZR1 actually

[tired remnant]

Mercedes gtr doesn't have any too i think

[icy lance]

la la ferrari

[pine sleet]

personally

I don't mind the higher versions not having customization

[icy lance]

give customisation to the lower end cars 😠

[pine sleet]

How I see it, instead of having bodykits that resemble Nismo variants or whatever

Just get the actual car

[smoky meadow]

I swear to.god
I will throw out every single asset and bodykit and car in this game

And redo it all

From the ground up

Equal bodykits for everything and everyone

[icy lance]

id add abflug, and re amnesisa, and vealside, and maximum power

[pine sleet]

Hell yeah, let's postpone Unbound's release another year or two in that case

[icy lance]

yes 😎

[smoky meadow]

Your vision is limited dicky!

[smoky meadow]

I don't care about Unbound

This is for me alone

[pine sleet]

Well I do

[smoky meadow]

My OCD is kicking in

[icy lance]

add this to unbound

[smoky meadow]

I will add you to the paper shredder

[smoky meadow]

And here's the thing nico
Any amount of.post poning is okay when your final.product is meant tot to perfection
Nothing missed, everything done to.maxiumum excellency

[pine sleet]

Anyways I'd add Stratospeed (Black Box's kits), Abflug, Blitz, Veilside, Erebuni, more C-West, more JUN, more Vary, more Yasid and KS, more race inspired kits, and a fuckton of new originals

[tired remnant]

I will had 6 hours of rough gay sex to unbound

This will make it a contender for GOTY

[pine sleet]

One gripe I have with Unbound's customization as is

The DB11 coupe doesn't have the KS kit still 😭

[smoky meadow]

How idiotic of Criterion

They were the ones who made this error back in Heay

[pine sleet]

eh not that

[smoky meadow]

Since they were the ones who published the dlc

[pine sleet]

moreso just a common oversight

[smoky meadow]

And they still didn't correct it

[icy lance]

they need to add the hidden and unused kits next update

underground kits

the kaido 240z

ks kits

etc

[smoky meadow]

Actually you know what?

throws out the entire Japanese car roster

[pine sleet]

RSX has 3 bodykits
M2 has 1
E46 has 4

[smoky meadow]

Now we can give some unexpected bodykits

[pine sleet]

I don't care if nobody cares about the M2, it needs more love

[icy lance]

next game needs to be british car culture
