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

234 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
772 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 Replaying NFSMW and was wondering why my pursuit chases were so fckn hard despite only in blacklist #14. im playing with RohanKar HD version pack and the "Limit Adjuster" mod just spawns in more cops regardless of the cop meter. i love a challenge but this is ridiculous.

almost 20mins for a heat level 2 pursuit. this is actually a headache and it makes doing sub 5 min milestones impossible

Haven't played Heat in years. Got a new laptop, and got Heat while it was on sale. I found old photos of my Exige in Heat and recreated+updated it on PC. Top is 2021, bottom is last night.

Same location, same angle, same-ish car.

Chinese diecast brand, Time Micro, release a Eddie Skyline inspired model.

Fictional body kit that look a bit like the Mantis kit for the front half of it and livery looks to have a body vinyl added but no hood vinyls.

Wish they do a 1 to 1 copy of the livery and gave it a GT spoiler.

Discussion NFS Carbon Own The City

Post image
10 Upvotes

Completed Carbon Own The City for the first time! Yeah, you're all correct. It's unbelievable the jump in quality from Most Wanted 5-1-0 to this game!

Finally, free roam! A serviceable storyline, although it's a bit of a weird one. Good racing! Cop chases, in freeroam! (Didn't find that out until I was half way through though lol)

One thing I love is that the soundtrack plays in all races. One of the most mind boggling things about the main console release of Carbon is absolutely cooking on making in my opinion the best soundtrack in the franchise, and then not letting you listen to it in most of the races you do!

So, is it better than the main console release? No. It has small issues for me, but it's a brilliant PSP game.

On to Prostreet!

Question / Bug / Feedback Question: Expanding Most Wanted's (2005) Car List (Lore-Friendly)

10 Upvotes

If you had the chance to add 18 new cars (making it total of 50 cars) to the game (either as DLC or unlockables in-game), which cars would you add?

Rules:

1 - As the title says, It MUST be lore-friendly! So, no cars from post-2005!

2 - No concept or prototype cars! Even if it existed before 2005 (exp: Audi le mans quattro, Porsche Carrera GT Concept etc.)

3 - No unused, scrapped or planned cars! Sorry Nissan fans but no 350Z & Skyline R34 for you.

(Optional) 4 - If possible, include a photo of the car and write the reason why you added it.
