Great game tbh

I would still like to see the old NFS: Underground series with support for HD resolutions and 120Hz + screens.

Agreed! NFSU had a amazing sense of speed and great gameplay.

It was, but it hasn't aged well!

I think i could still play it and not caring, same as the original dungeon keeper, to much love for those games.

You couldn't dude it runs at 30 FPS which is excruciating now.

 

[Feronix]

I already downloaded it and played it a bit and it's.... really bad.

There is no fun in starting with all of the vehicles available. No aspiration and even negating the hilarious physics it's really no Underground 2. I got this when it came out but it didn't really do it for me, not many driving games do anymore, Dirt 2 was the last one I genuinely enjoyed to the full.

Nope, was running it at 60+ FPS when it was new.

This is that abysmal game from 2012. The original Most Wanted from 2005 is still one of the best in the series.

I didn't know you could hack it tbh.

As for this MW? It's basically NFS : Most burnout. IE it's not by the team who did the others it's by Criterion.

That doesn't,however, make it a bad game. It's still shedloads of fun.

I remember when the original came out on the 3DO. Loved it.
Last NFS title I played was Hot Pursuit on PS3.

Could care less about the graphics as long as it's fun to play. I mean - it's free so can't really complain.

The graphics on this are not to bad, but the game overall is bad in my opinion compared to the older games.

I bought this version of Most Wanted when it came out and I think I have played it for about 5 hours and that is it, where as the original Most Wanted I have played for over 50 hours.

For me Need For Speed was not about having to be careful about what speed you hit something at, it was just about getting from A to B as fast as you could.

Most of the newer games are to much of a simulation for me, and I thought that the latest Need For Speed game would have gone back to that, but after playing it on my Xbox One it is just the same if not worse than the last 4 games.

If they make a remastered version of the Underground, original Most Wanted and Carbon games and they don't change anything, other than the graphics then I will play them but, if they keep putting out the games where you cannot hit a wall at more than 50mph without, wrecking your car then I will leave them alone.

I agree that the new NFS is quite arcadey but it can be still quite challenging if you play on hard, and I enjoyed the customisation coupled with the level of graphical detail. You can do pretty much anything you want with the paint/wrap editor. All in all I quite liked the new NFS.
