Second screen gaming — introduced by Nintendo with Wii U and now an important feature of both the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One — allows game developers to be far more powerful and creative, according to Need for Speed: Rivals executive producer Marcus Nilsson.
In an interview with MMGN at Gamescom, Nilsson said developers are only just beginning to use the technology to its potential.
After nearly three decades of NFS games, here's a list of the best Need For Speed titles that have ever been released in the past years, ranked by The Nerd Stash.

Most wanted 2012 imo was awful, on PS3 the graphics are dreadful, and the crash cam was very annoying. Rival is the worst imo, hated that game. My favourite is Hot Pursuit, great game. Also Shift 1&2 are really good.
High Stakes will always be my favorite. Great cars, great music, and you could see through the windows which was pretty mind-blowing at the time. Best of all it was ricer-free.
Lame. The list doesn't even include any of the originals. NFS 1 and NFS hot Pursuit 1998. Must be a youngster who created the list.
From my personal experience NFS I personally don't like.......
The Worst : Underground 2 , Carbon, Prostreets, Undercover, Porche unleashed, Nitro, NFS World, 2012 Mostwanted, Rivals, 2015 Reboot last but not least Paycrap.
Best NFS I personally like :
All ps1 NFS : HighStakes (the best) including NFS 3 Hotpursuit , ps2 Hotpursuit 2 (Excellent game ) ..Underground ( Best so far)
2005 Mostwanted ( Excellent game) Shift 1/2 (Spectacular) remind me of GT , 2010 Hotpursuit Great game but race Waaaaaaay to long in my personal opinion . Last but not least The Run . these are my favorite NFS titles .
After The Run in my personal opinion NFS went down hill fast with Open world mapping crap, always online, multiplayer crap, alldrive, drifting in every freaking corners, no gripping anymore,autolog. None of this crapfest is NFS original formula. until Ea contract Ghost Games to return the original formula back in NFS it will always be Shitty game.
For 25 years now the Need for Speed series has kept its fans glued to their seats, but what are the standout titles?
NFSU2
NFSU
NFSMW
NFS(3DO)
Those are my favorites. Anything released recently is a big steaming pile of hot garbage.
My favs in order: NFS 3 Hot Pursuit, Hot Pursuit II, Both Undergrounds, Carbon, Prostreet, Shift 2 is a masterpiece
yes, and it is time for sony and microsoft to get off nintendos joystick.
I'll sit back and wait for Sony or MS to implement 2nd screen gaming to the level Nintendo has, then I will watch the comments come up saying how awesome it is and that Sony or MS's is way better than the Wii U's.
These same people were the ones who said that 2nd screen gaming was stupid and just a gimmick.
I can't see this working at all with MS, at least Sony has a chance with the Vita.
Unless I am growing at least one additional Eye, able to look at a different direction, I think the only thing massive about Second Screen will be the amount of overratednes. Companion-Apps and asynchronous multiplayer is a whole different thing, though.
I can't see being in a big gun fight and finding time to pick up my phone/tablet/vita or any other thing to try to call in a airstrike or any other thing. Does the action stop while you try to do this or do you get turned into swiss cheese by the enemies around you. Or maybe for slow paced games it might not be to bad. The only other thing I see it being good for is you have a friend over and it's your turn with the controller he can use the secondary screen as support for you. Am I missing something here?
