This is best NFS - do not listen to old fans (as I played them)

[Slicer]

I am a game developer - so I need to think a lot about design, and this time - Criterion and Codemasters have outdone all NFS Games. Ignore the typos - get the message.

This Need for Speed is the best, I have played NFS UG 1, UG 2, and also NFS MW 2005.
Criterion is really talented - but most importantly they fixed the handling model is what made their games ♥♥♥♥ to me but in everything else - amazing. Codemasters must have helped them in this, and presentation both companies were great.

Why this NFS is better than previously touted best ones:

Tracks: NFS MW 2005/UG 1/ UG 2 had weird city design, you have to admit this. I played them recently - MW 2005 has weird highway design. UG 2 is just grid like layout with some corners. This game doesn't have it.

Gameplay: You can really customize the handling - the tank like driving that Criterion had can be rectified through tuning the handling.

Presentation: You can argue, Most Wanted 2005 had slick transitions - ok but it was all yellow like piss. UG 2 is all cardboard like buildings with just night. This game however has slick design in everything, from cartoon effects, menu presentation and the way it is all unified. In this game, you have all sorts of color palette. The city looks great all the time. Yes, it has tiling textures everywhere, but they are not too revealing lol.

Story: yeah, UG 2 is mobile text - zero depth. MW 2005 - same ♥♥♥♥, yes some cut-scenes - that too cringe. This is different modern take. This will always remain subjective.

Wtf you talking, this is nfs heat v2, even the map is basically the same, the menus, etc, with only these paint.exe made effects to save time and money lmao.

That is a lie, the map is not the same. I played NFS Heat - trolling has its limits. Do not lie to hate the game.

The menus are not the same, they have been improved.

do you happen to develop nfs:unbound, by some chance?
you have not played all nfs games and not in the time they were released, so...

So, you can say first wolfenstein was the best fps, but now it is not. Also, during that time, mediocre developers could become top developers since most people didn't have game engines to make as today.

Play those games again - MW 2005 city design is abs trolling and weird, it makes no sense. UG 2 is too simple, like on rail tracks. This game is not. You have to admit this.

old game good new game bad and they will stay that way

[Akane Rose🌹]

underground 2 and most wanted 05 are way too overrated. those boomer won't stop crying begging for a remaster and will always calling new nfs trash no matter how good the new nfs turned out to be. stuck in the past forever playing the same old game over and over again lol

[Vitonps]

It has some problems with performance but i really like the game.
The game seams like a heat 2 for the players who played it because of the gameplay(which is ok) so the company used again, the same with the heat levels. But, see the whole picture here and you have this illegal street race/underground feeling with lots of cars and better tuning than ever, that to me compare or it's better by alot to the undergrounds. Sure it has this art in anime that people don't like it, but to me the art is awesome, matches the style of the game very well.
If you really don't like the game because of the art style stick with nfs heat.
I think the price of the game is a little high too.

and have this game the stupit rubberbanding effect? than its not the best.

What are you smoking slicer? As I have ant some as you are talking nonsense,and a game dev a? I’m guessing you made a asset flip game on early access

[Zero McDol]

So basically, you like the game and want to step on 'old fans' to get your point across. Doesn't work dude. Try just telling people why you like the game and try less, to start an arguement for no other reason, than a game that you like is being criticized.

[Sharkle_Bunwich]

I'm an old time fan ever since I was babbling dumb 5 year old playing Road & Track and I can assure you it's not the best Need for Speed. It's really fun, and it's so so close, but it' just misses the peak of Most Wanted 2005.

If the online gets fleshed out then maybe but the cop chases and sense of agency just aren't there.

[fingers]

this game is no were close to the best need for speed game and the anime affects should be deleted

[ez]

meh - you started with Underground? nooblet... you don't know the best NFS games!

Yeah? How do show your illiteracy? Throw some buzz words, and call it a day. AAA developers never asset flip, yeah? You know like outsoure models and ♥♥♥♥, and buy them.

Damn, we have a high intelligent person here. The MAP IS NOT THE SAME. Stop spreading misinfo to justify your hate.
