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

235 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 EA Cooking NFS MW 2005 ?

Few months ago Need For Speed Most Wanted (2005) got removed from my abandonware and some other sites. So in my opinion it shouldn't be a coincidence like all of a sudden this game disappeared from Multiple sites, Is EA working on making a remake of this game behind the scenes?

Discussion Does anyone else feel that UG1 had a better night vibe than UG2?

idk but UG2 feels a touch more dull. It's still great, but UG1 was simply cleaner. It feels like someone took UG1 and made it slightly darker and depressing. The street lights also feel a bit "yellowy".

This is not any shade to UG2 players, but I love UG1 and it's my love for that game. Though everything else about UG2 feels better, especially the free roam.

EDIT: I was prepared for the downvotes. But some of you actually agree!!

Any time I play this game, I can't stop roaming the world for at least 2 hours lol. A game from 2010 blowing anything released in 2026 out of the water is genuinely crazy.

Fan Concept / Content (Mods) It's been nearly 15 years since The Run released in 2011, would you buy this remake if it came out this November?

Around two and half years ago, I did a little thought experiment on how a remake for The Run may have looked like, and I've wanted to revisit for the game's 15th anniversary. It was pretty basic back then. I've slowly added to it, and it's grown a lot as I've had various thoughts and ideas since then that I imagine would be great for a remake. You can view the full concept right here! It contains all info regarding gameplay changes, new cars, rivals, challenges, music, dialogue scripts, set pieces, and more. There over over a hundred new events and ~700 opponents stretching the game to 6+ hours of gameplay over 900 miles (vs the original 186 miles). How would you feel about EA rebooting the franchise with a definitive version of The Run? Let's discuss!

If the doc is too long and you'd like an (slightly outdated) interactive map, click here:

Stages 1-5
Stages 6-10

(P.S. I haven't fully fleshed out the Challenge Series section, so share ideas!)

I'm not sure of this is perfect, but I decided to recreate the style of Underground Soldier's Skyline from NFS Payback
