underground 1 and 2 are still the best ones.

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

Ninver171d 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?

DarXyde171d ago

Truth. Loved Midnight Club.

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

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.

Popsicle89d ago (Edited 89d ago )

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.

gold_drake89d ago

underground 1 and 2 were the best racer games bk then

Need for Speed will return in “new and interesting ways,” says EA

Support for Need for Speed Unbound has ended as Criterion focuses on the new Battlefield.

RaidenBlack131d ago

Plz no live service only NFS.
You already tried that with the reboot which was online only.

FinalFantasyFanatic131d ago

I can totally see them doing that again.

andy85131d ago

Just give me Underground 2 remastered

Fonsecap131d ago

Don't known if you're aware, but there is a modding team remastering the game in unreal engine 5, look for it it's looking good.

ApocalypseShadow131d ago

But no Burnout since you bought the competition to kill their game. And what's left of Criterion who stayed, were put to make your game need for speed. Don't care what ways it comes back. It's EA. No buy.

CosmicTurtle131d ago

They bought Criterion for their middleware engine Renderware I believe. But the studio was a bonus.

TheColbertinator131d ago

I enjoyed NFS Heat but they never built properly on that.
