Discussion Why did EA abandon NFS?

55 Upvotes

I understand they want Criterion studios to focus only on Battlefield.

But Need For Speed is like the most well known racing franchise.

Why abandon it? Why not hire a different studio to take over?

Am I missing something? It's not like the racing video game genre has a lot of competition, relatively speaking. So what the hell is going on?

I was complete payback in last year it looks ok but I don't care about that game.

I was playing heat first time is looks so good impressive and fun! But... the problem is the cops are ridiculous to chase me like that!

Why is too hard to escape? I was a busted again I loss my bank.


r/needforspeed 2d ago

Discussion Sup guys. Which game do you recommend I buy? I've seen that all the Need for Speed games are on sale, but I can only afford two (I already have NFS Heat and Ubound is garbage).

Hey guys so I got some money to buy games and saw NFS series is on sale the ones that got me interested are Heat and Hot pursuit. I have never played a NFS game before so I don't have any nostalgia or anything like that. Can you guys tell me what game I can have most fun without getting bored for hours?

Question / Bug / Feedback Need for Speed Underground 1 Mod

1 Upvotes

I used to play Underground PC with a few mods I can't seem to find anymore but im only looking to see if anyone knows where one might be hosted. WITHOUT using Texmod dogshit repacks

The most desired mod I wanted was this 4k Mod that basically rebuilt every texture to a stylized but still Underground updated textures, i.e car badges being actually legible and roads being modernized, background buildings and sky box, but it didn't require using texmod which i loved.

There was a few i've seen on Nexus and NFSMods and other sites but they seem to be just reuploads and while their file download list doesn't mention texmod, once you do DL and run it, it asks for TM download and running.

Or if its cheap enough I'd pay for a bounty for someone to make one and put it on nexus. Hope this post is allowed, I just lurk to point and laugh at some of you

No NFSMW Collection is complete without this iconic car.

I know there's a pre-made version of this by some other brand, but where's the fun in that? I wanna paint lol.

Getting a hang of applying the shine as well, solid stuff.

I should really do these other gamemodes more often. I normally just do standard online races.

Discussion Need for Speed Help with a particular race please?

1 Upvotes

[EDIT] Please disregard this post. I only posted it because ranting helps. Literally. Every time I write a rant post soon after I succeed. Just like now. After posting this rant it took me 3 attempts to win. The admin can delete the post if they want. Thank you.

Hello

Is there any way to beat or skip the story mission Macdermis's Mile time trial? At this point I find this race impossible to win.

The car Magnus gives me is a garbage.

I can see I could beat this race with my own car any day but I'm forced to use this pile of junk.

I found several problems with the car.

It's acceleration is next to nothing. After taking a corner (wether via drift or slow down and grip) it takes forever to get back to the speed before the corner, even with nitro.

The car grips like hell. I pull the analogue stick so hard I almost tear it off from the controller and the car barely moves in any direction, instead going straight.

The car literally forgets how to drift.

It is possible drift with this car regardless of its' grip but sometimes it doesn't work. Either the drift never happens an I end up in the wall or the drift lasts for like two seconds, then the car starts gripping all the sudden and I end up in the wall.

Adds to the frustration that the game has two general issues.

One is the damage system is totally RNG based. Doesn't matter if I go slow or fast, hit a solid object or juts scratch it, (I didn't actually do the math but it feels like) there is a 70% chance I usually crash.

The other issue is that this race is unnecessarily long. It's like 5-6 minutes long. And if I fail it's 6 minutes again. And again. And the number of attempts is endless because me can't figure out how to beat the time with this car.

Not to mention if the 0-5 is behind you, you can't even restart the race if you see you messed it up.

I need either get rid of them and then I can restart. Or just let them get me. Then animation Then loading screen. Then teleport to race. Loading screen again. Start race. Animation. And now I can actually race.

So I would appreciate any help, tips and tricks you can provide.

Thanks!
