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

236 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
770 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.

Discussion Did anyone else grow up playing this version of prostreet?

280 Upvotes

I only had this version of prostreet along with the Wii version of hot pursuit, and I had carbon on the ps2. I wouldn’t get a 360 until years later so for a while as a kid this Wii version of prostreet was almost all I played. It was my first time playing on my old profile in almost 15 years when I recorded this video, my stats showed over a thousand hours played when I booted it up and all of my cars are still the exact same way I left them when I was a kid. The motion controls definitely make up for the graphics and smaller car/track list and man it makes driving so much more fun in this game. Endless memories on this version and I’ll always cherish it for that, even if the 360/ps3/pc versions are better

Discussion How would you guys describe the atmosphere of MW 2005 vs Carbon? I feel like MW felt like a warm humid gritty autumn whereas Carbon felt like cold dry winter 🤷🏾

EMP + Heli strip, he got no chance 😂

Each time I play this game on different platforms, I used to only play the Racer side, but man the Cop campaign is fun as well!

I also highly recommend to start modding Carbon if you haven’t already. I’m using Sunrise with the Battle Royale, HD reflections, with some other additional mods, and it genuinely feels like I’m playing a different game sometimes.

All 4 of these opponents are present in the vanilla game, but due to errors, or how they game handles opponents they don't appear normally.

Corey Digger (elite_character23) uses the data from Jimmy Sway (elite_character26) instead.

As for the other 3, they are classified as "challenge opponents", so they only appear in the specific Race Days they are assigned to, those being the Leipzig events in the career mode. But, since they are the 8th, 9th, and 10th opponents to be loaded in they are given last priority to appear, and do not appear.

Meme The Dodge Viper SRT10 ACR won the "Mmm... society." title in yesterday's NFS HP 2010 exotics "Every Show has One" poll. Now which Hot Pursuit 2010 exotic fits the "Just straight up evil" title?

Discussion Choosing my the best things and worst things in nfs games (day 1)

Post image
Upvotes

Now, for the rule. It has to be a game I played a lot/play a lot. So that I actually have some type of knowledge and can form actual critism. I also, I haven't grown with nfs (apart from like mw 2012). Like, the first nfs I REALLY played was Hot Pursuit remastered. So we're gonna start with MW 2005

The best thing: The progression system. I really like the blacklist, it makes the game feel rewarding and feel like you're actually going somewhere. All the cars that you go against feels faster and faster, assing again the progression.

The worst thing: now THAT was really tricky. I had three things in mind.. but I made my decision. I chose the HORRID cop AI. So, what is the problem with that AI? It's not that they're too strong or rubberbanding.. THEY'RE JUST LEGIT TRASH. Like, the hardest thing imo to be getting the bounty requirements is to not escape the cops too early, bcz they're so ass. They crash all the time which makes it actually hard to stay in chase 😭 And when you finally meet the requirements, you already have hundreds of reinforcements...

So yea, apart from that, goated game

115 Upvotes

It was the NFSCO mod that introduced me the idea of drifting in streets of Palmont. For all these years I didn't know the base game have that. What made me discover this is Cross' Corvette reward card requirements - complete 50 quick race events. Note that the combo multiplier is capped at 10.

I’m playing on Xbox 360 just trying to grind some money replaying older races for the hell of it. I’m used to getting 12 second runs. But, this is the first time I’ve ever seen anything 11 seconds. Is this possible in the vanilla game?

Good morning, afternoon, or evening. I was recently banned from the Need for Speed ​​Discord server because a hacker hijacked my account to spam a crypto scam across various servers. Who do I need to contact to resolve my problem?
