Member when NFS games had more than just shit-hop?

I member.

Nostalgia is a powerful influencer...

EazyC872d ago

Damn. EA were insane for not doing this themselves ages ago. I think this is literally exactly what tons of NFS fans wanted. An EXACT remaster of NFSU 2. Nothing added, just the pure game but nicer looking.

EA and Activision are weird companies.

They're at the top, and when they make changes, they're usually awful. When they keep things the same, they need to change. They haven't really figured out what works and what doesn't.

I want the original underground… To the window! To the walls!

Retro Runback: 'Need for Speed Underground 2'

VICE:

Doing these Retro Runback pieces on GameCube games always makes me feel old. I mean, at this point, it’s been over 20 years since its release. So, it counts as retro — it just hurts to acknowledge it. This time around, it’s one of my favourite racing games of all time: Need for Speed Underground 2.

There may be racing games that have surpassed this one over the years, but I never had more fun with a racing game than I did with Underground 2.

underground 1 and 2 were the best racer games bk then

unfortunately we havent had any really good ones, that isnt mario kart, since.

The hours I've spent on TXR Zero back in the day. Literally played that game for about 3-4 YEARS.

Nfs has been giving us the same mechanics over and over again. They have recently been leaning more into street racing because of popular demand from the fans, but they aren't quite there yet.

I would suggest they simply remake the NFS underground series, and in 2005, most wanted and go from there after getting the baseline of what the fans want.

cammers1995105d ago

Well, they should remake underground and underground 2.

Retroman104d ago

They should remake Hotpursuit 2, Highstakes, Underground also

Tra-D214104d ago

I wish Rockstar would remaster Midnight Club Dub edition and Midnight Club LA

Soy104d ago

Peaked with Most Wanted on the 360, been mediocre since.

How Need for Speed has reinvented itself for 30 years

"Need for Speed has always been too ahead of its time." An in-depth development team interview, covering 30 years of NfS.

gold_drake122d ago

underground 1 and 2 are still the best ones.

isarai121d ago

And they're spent every game after that trying to chase that high and never meeting it

Ninver120d ago

Makes you think if gamers are looking to relive nostalgia or each dev that has attempted to mimic the glory days are just incompetent?

DarXyde120d ago

Truth. Loved Midnight Club.

I wouldn't be mad at another proper Underground or Most Wanted (PS2/X360) entry though.

Out of 30 years Ea Canada made all PS1 versions they were New and Exciting then Blackbox Studio took over all were Fantastic.
