what are you on about sunrise? Need for speed underground 2 is a pretty awesome game.

BTW, these games are best played on PC. PS2 graphics just don't cut it.

Only milk and juice come in two litres.

I dunno what this new game is like, but hopefully they've actually got some cars that are desirable, rather than an MX-5, Focus or Lancer

the nfs series has become SOOOO arcadey, it's nearly as bad as a slot car racer, although we'll leave that title to the burnout series...

and ps2? who the hell would play anything on that? xbox for the win
forza motorsport, omy

im with your sunrise. porsche was fantastic. the underground series sucked. mostly coz how can you have a car racing game where its faster to crash round & ride rails than it is to take the racing line?

and seriously, these games need to work on their signage & make it fvcking consistent. nothing worse than playing a racing game that leads you to believe its a hard left turn when its a gentle right and THEN a hard left.

circuit racing > street racing imo.

again I have to ask, what are you on mate?

Gran Turismo 4 is one simulation on PS2 that makes forza look like a bottle of brown brothers.

I guess horses for courses but the aim of need for speed has always been arcade feel.

soooo not true. the original NFS (if any of you can remember back that far) was a challenging racer.

the police ones (sorry forget title) were arcadey, but still punished you for hitting walls.

porsche was fvcking difficult. certainly not arcadey.

its the underground series that has ruined it. fun, but only on those tracks that didnt reward you for being a shit wall-hugging driver

that my friend is all a matter of personal opinion. Yes they may have had features that punished you, but overall it was still aimed at arcade gaming.

You never were able to bolt on a bigger turbo, etc.etc.

at least in underground, you could dyno your car, change fuel maps, change boost levels etc. adjust air fuel ratios etc.

yeah the ones earlier in the series, and as far back as the original, they werent simulations, but they werent entirely arcadey, and found good ground where it was challenging, fun and relatively easy
the series probably peaked at porsche, although that was still far from a simulator or being tremendously realistic, but damn, I think it was REALLY good middle ground, and HEAPS of fun

underground.... so close to slot car racing, and crap, and the physics are just way off and wrong, although that's how they made it to be :/ in conclusion, ducks.
I was hoping with most wanted, they were going to go back to how the series was earlier on but noooooo, I guess it's a lot cheaper for them to reuse the nfsu/nfsu2 engine anyways O_o... damn EA

haha, bollocks.

\\\"arcade\\\" defines certain characteristics/physics you would find in a game in an *shock horror* arcade

the first NFS was not an arcade game.

the porsche NFS game was not an arcade game.



edit: tho yes you are correct in that you could alter your car. but sitting there tweaking my car's performance isnt what i play racing games for

and yeah, i agree 3500, the porsche NFS was a beautiful blend between simulation and outright fun. not sure about you, but i found that game fvcking tough.
