The most recent game, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered, was released on November 6, 2020.

Crazy how Most Wanted 2005 is still considered one of the best if not the best NFS game.
Probably yea. I preffer Carbon though. Camaro SS my favorite, never tried, but might some day try to complete it with only Camaro.
It was the perfect balance of cool cars, cops, a nice sidestory and a fucking good soundtrack! Dunno which kind of music I would listen today if this game wasnt part of my childhood. Also tuning supercars like Lamborghini Murcielago, Corvette C6, Audi R8 and so on for the first time was lit af. But it was one of first, if not the first game which included all these aspects. As child playing a racer like this for the first time was gaming porn. Maybe a kid nowaydays would prefer something like NFS Heat or Unbound because of the better graphics, more cars and the "modern" soundtrack. Cant relate to all the Trap songs, but its a different generation.
@@marchlander1 Carbon was like a NFS MW II imo. Also pretty nice, especially these night and canyon drives. But the magic of the original MW feeling has been played before, so the awesomeness was kinda "washed out". You know. It's like playing your first RPG game or listening to your first favorite band.
For me is need for speed undercover it was my first or second game I have played on pc
gameplay wise yes, but i never liked that orange bloom that a lot of games had at that time
Hot Pursuit 2, Underground, Underground 2, Most Wanted, and Carbon will always be my favorites.
Mine too RIP childhood 😥
hot pursuit 2 old memories playing with my old man rip
I was thinking about playing Hot Pursuit 2010, is it any good?
@@trex511ft yes it is🏁
I used to play NFS most wanted
UNDERGROUND 2 WITH SNOOP DOGG ON THE TRACK IS THE BEST EVER....MISS MY CHILDHOOD
Bro I also have same feeling
Same
true but before that it was hot pursuit 2 music to match the tracks/beautiful vistas and exotic cars going full speed leaving cops in absolute dust was just perfection
and i miss games with music that doesnt make me want to deafen myself with rusty nails
I test pc games on my mobile, take a look, thanks 💎
NFS Most Wanted one love forever
the best game ever🎉
But is OVERRATED.
Agreed
@@FK_1306 Your opinion.
@@KenKenX9 is not a opinion, is a fact
Porsche Unleashed: a game that preferred to be loved by thousands than liked by millions. What a gem.
Yeah I loved it, but it was crashing for me in menu past a point I remember years ago. So I never finished it.
The graphics sucks
@@ARandomPersonFromJapan The graphics were incredibly detailed at the time. Needed a fast PC to run.
ain't know way you said that XD look at nfs rivals or the first dark souls which was made 10 years after or cod waw which is made 8 years after or cod 4 mw1 7 years after
graphics/ gameplay were awesome!
PORSCHE UNLEASHED is the best NFS ever. The evolution mode, where you start with the first Porsche ever made, Coupe Ferdinand and ended up with the newest one, or the factory driver mode, that was (and still IS) something orginal and fresh. Routes desing, car handling, destruction model, that all was perfect. I still hope they will make NFS game with evolution mode like that!
My fav too
Souhlas.
The graphics looks like 180p
@@ARandomPersonFromJapan in CRT monitors it was looking like as if 4K. believe me 😂
@@ARandomPersonFromJapan I would say, given game size to graphics quality ratio, it is the best optimized

Thank u
i remember my best friend getting suspended in high school for playing NFS:Most wanted, nearly most if not all 2000s babies have at one point played it, and no matter what graphics they give the new releases, it'll always have a special place in my heart
Mw 2005 was the best
Rivals too
Cmon wat do u expect everyone's favourite is that
Rivals???? Im still on mw and underground 2 the best 2 nfs
The rivals and the story those r soo epic
Honda Toyota Best
I started with NFS II, oh man time flies... but the memories I had with the first 3 NFS were magical. Driving exotic cars in those beautiful mountains, canyons, and cities is certainly what I cherish the most. I stopped enjoying NFS after most wanted, the direction they took was just not for me, I have to admit tho, that the most wanted remake was a good game, I had a good time with that one too.
I feel the same way man
They went from simulation racing to arcade nitrous. MW is my fav. That feels fast. The others all feel slow.
yeah same. While NFS games aren't simulators, I hate what they did to the car handling, last I tried NFS hot pursuit 2010 and the car would just start drifting every corner. I played a bit of NFS Porsche years ago but I remember my PC would crash while in menu and I gave up on it. Would love to give that one another go.
@@silviuchitic162 omg wow you're one of the early players, well we have all the technology readily accessible now need to run that game haha, I think you should try it.
I think NFS Shift was the time they really did it in for me and I realized "well they're going too track-based and not open world and story based." Between NFS Underground/Most Wanted and Shift there was (quite literally) a shift in the gameplay that didn't engage the players because AAA gaming was starting to take over and were putting out big title games as fast as they could regardless of how good they were. I miss old games when big developers put all their soul into making a fun, replayable game.
A franchise with a deep rooted history, nice
My childhood - Hot pursuit 2 - 2002 ♥️
uşaqlığımın oyunu
Not my childhood, as i was 27 at the time but still is my favorite.
@@ozgurkarter436827 in 2002!? And still gaming??!!! You sir are THE GOAT
@@navoneelStill gaming @48 on all consoles and on PC. Will do till i die probably.
Same for me best game ever nfshp2
NFS:U2 and NFS:MW '05 are my favourites. Thinking about the time I played these games: christmas with my family, driving with my bicycle through autumn leaves on the way to my best gf, listening to the music while doing homework, long nights with cola and candy...
Hot Pursuit 2 was my first NFS ! 😍
I remember modifying cars on Carbon with my best friend for hours as a kid. I still play it, and it’s still my favourite racing game of all time
Most Wanted 2005 and is my childhood, Never Forgot That Game😊
mw 2012 is my favorite, it's graphics and gameplay are amazing. Hard to believe that it was released 11 years ago.
mw 2005 is my favorite.
Thank You. You went right to the point, no long introduction.
Yes, a long introduction is always boring.
Bro, nfs 2005 most wanted, nfs shift, nfs rivals, nfs hot pursuit, and nfs 2015 were great games!
NFS Most Wanted on the PS2 was my childhood, most of my memories of the PS2 was me playing Most wanted, and another game called Rogue Galaxy
Amazing how gaming technology evolved over the years from just pixels to realistic settings. NFS will always remain in our hearts and only '90s generation will understand better.
This is why I realized "graphics aren't everything." We used to want everything to look better and better, then realized we were sacrificing the fun and memory we have of playing games that weren't "realistic" but just so much fun to sit next to your friends with and feel your asscheeks burn in the ground with anticipation. "DAMNIT, I ALMOST WON! LET'S GO AGAIN!"
a few websites that still have old nfs games for free
Most wanted 2005, carbon and undercover forever will be in my heart!
undercover really>?
@@josephwells5320 Yeah, I liked it as a child.
@@josephwells5320 Undercover was pretty cool to me. Made some of my most memorable cars in that.
@@kinglift5611 thats the most buggiest mess ive ever seen before the car feels very light weight its pretty much nfs mw like literally it literally copied nfs mw map not to ment tion the horrible ai
@@josephwells5320 I feel you man, but flaws and all I had some good times in undercover. I don’t they copied the map though.
Remember seeing the 3DO version playing in a video game shop back in 1994. It looked so amazing.
Yes NFS was fantastic on the 3DO system and well ahead of it's time.
İch dachte ich wäre der einzige hier, der 94 damals miterlebt hat 👍😂
Yes, I agree.
You're the best! Keep it up.
Never knew the game had its roots as a PlayStation console exclusive, that’s kinda cool
I think one of the big "mechanics" that are spoiling the more recent games is how ever single corner is ti be drifted around. The games we all love in the early 2000s you actually had to have a racing line, but there was a good arcade like balance
Not the case anymore in NFS Unbound.
That was never the case for new nfs
I have played NFS 3 Hot pursuit, NFS Hot pursuit 2, NFS Underground, NFS Most wanted(2005), NFS Most wanted 2012..... It's been a long time that I haven't played any racing game.
I've been playing 'Need for Speed Heat' on my mates PS4 for the last year with a steering wheel, cockpit etc. and love it. It's easy to play a game and like it and forget how much devolopment has gone into it over many years. Nice video.
I'm born in 1995 but I have played 1994 need for speed game just thinking of my golden days , no study , no problems living peace full , less population area about 7-8 families is village etc . ♥️♥️
Crazy how the older games were so much better then the new generation NFS.
They only worked on graphics. While 97 was really speedy with sports cars. Means amazing control and drift.
they would be great if they just updated the graphics and left the game play and songs as they were
I don't know NFS heat and unbound are pretty good for me . It's not most wanted but still are fun
Purely subjective. I don't jave nostalgia to sugar coat my opinion buf I enjoy the morden game more in general. Most Wanted and Carbon are up ther but Rivals is peak for me.
Your just an annoying nfs fanboy
Started on High Stakes, played Most Wanted ‘05, Underground, ProStreet, Shift, Nitro, and The Run
Hot Pursuit and Underground 2 are the two games I started on. Old NFS was class
NFS UG 2 was so dope. The Fast & Furious movies marked the change of racing games.

Remember playing the original need for speed with my dad, I was always the diablo and he always had the 911, can't remember what console it was on at the time but was amazed by the graphics
3do
I did not know I'm one of the premier players of Need 4 Speed Porsche Unleashed, Need 4 Speed High Stakes and Need 4 Speed Hotpursuit 2. Both are very memorable of my childhood.
@@quiquidoo1997 Check the Plate Numbers of each cool cars.
I remember playing all the time to the ps2 version of Undercover, it was so dope. God only knows what I did to that green Mitsubishi 😂
Loved the first one on the SEGA Saturn!
Cool, a mix of games from 2001-2022, what a big difference in all the graphics, controls, sounds. I started playing on 8-bit consoles like Dandy, for example, at the time it was something fantastic, but now it's 3D, 5D fantasy of the 21st century😀
You do realize that Dendy is the name of a clone of NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) and is only known as such in ex-USSR countries. In the rest of the world it's NES
NFS MOST WANTED with Imran Khan Honey Singh and bohemia Kali denali songs..!! Ohh that's the damn childhood memories..!!🔥
NFS 1 had dash cam with real dashboards. I raced a lot with Honda NFS and also the bonus car. I really liked the dangerous overtaking with traffic coming from the other side. Later versions didn't have dashboards.
Saki Kaskas, he gave such personality to the nfs license during the ps1 era with prisco.. RIP Man
I played NFS High Stakes back in the day like no other 😍
NFS Underground was the best part of my Childhood.
me 2 she was my first nfs game on my first nfs it was super amazing dude
All time favourite need for Speed Underground and 2 and most wanted 205 version and need for Speed carbon these 4 games are legandary ❤️
I will say my top five NFS games (that I've played) are: 1) Most Wanted (2005) 2) Underground I (I'm that weirdo that always likes the first game more than the second; sorry MW2 and Halo 2) 3) Carbon 4) Hot Pursuit 2 5) Heat (It actually brought me back to an earlier time where there were fun storylines in NFS and with my husband being from Miami, he had so much fun watching me play!) 🖤 Cheers to those of us who have been playing games for decades and are cherishing our childhood together!
Still nothing has come close to the thrill of high stakes and Porsche, the feeling of truly putting it all on the line
Am I the only one who adores The Run? There may be other better ones, but i LOOOOOOVE that game!!! It was so fun!!!
The Run and ProStreet deserve more love
My brother and me used to play Most Wanted as Kids. One of the best time i spend With him. I‘m sure that i will get a ps2 and nfs Most wanted again. One of my all Time favourite games ❤❤
Carbon was my favourite. It was around that time Jay Chou's movie aired and I enjoyed drifting through the mountain lanes.
In fact, Need for Speed: Underground 2 didn't have the mobile version. It's just Fast and Furious: Fugitive with the mods to make it look like.
11:00 This game was my childhood. Spent every day playing it.
Same
Crazy to see how far they've came especially with the graphics
Rivals was my last,lol i remember playing it on very low graphics option and it would still lag,good old days 😌
Need For Speed : Most Wanted Best one i have ever played
This is so nostalgic video 😢❤
Great job buddy
Thank you. My favorite all times is.. NFS underground
me2 she as amazing
Most wanted 2005 is my number 1 favorite nfs
Underground and underground 2 for me are probably the best because they are proper street racing games awesome and gd memories as well 😊
Yes, I agree.
I remember playing 2012 most wanted for hours when I was a kid
what did you capture this gameplay on? it all looks smoothed and upscaled
The era of Most Wanted, Carbon and Pro Street... damn
What happened to EA now? They use to make such great games earlier.
They are just thinking about money these days.
THE FUCKING CEO MAN, THE FUCKING CEO!
One of my favorite game . When I brought a pc in 2012 my first game was that game. I still like that game
3:43 Damn, felt that all the way over here😬😬
NFS III hot pursuit will always be the best arcade racer ever made
A great game for sure. I remember playing this game a lot back in the days.
Although I wasn't born in those times need for speed high stakes is my favorite
hot pursuit 2 was everything, the exotic cars, beautiful varied tracks, and man the music, it was perfection...then followed by underground 1 and 2 also perfection with the tuner aesthetic... really hope unbound nails it edit* shout out to the ps2 as well man getting all these entries well beyond its life
started with underground 1, still know the feeling when i convinced my mother to let me have the shiny green underground 2. dopamin lvl was on an all time high xd. the hours i put into those games in my childhood with a best friend, taking turns, provoking police and trying to escape for as long as we could. and we always had a blast pressing x or whatever to slow down time, a splitsecond before we crashed into a police car, which kinda cracked the physics and - with the right timing - banged the other car all over the place :D. one felt like a truck with tons of weight behind it. man good times.
as a kid i used to play Most Wanted 2012, seeing the map makes me feel really nostalgic.
My childhood ;: NFSMW ❤️❤️
OMG the first need for speed is so realistic!
Underground 2 is my fav. I was, at that time, either a Junior or senior in high school, getting my first car, f&f was still huge and it was a great era to just be getting into my own cars.
My fav is nfs mw 2005 and currently playing the remastered version of this game.
Very good! Do you need to play all the games to assemble this video?
2000-2006 was the best era of need for speed.
Nope..2000 to 2008
@@sharvingb ok but pro Street sucked.
2000 - 2013. Rivals was decent tho.
@@RetroStrikeofficialnope
@@Maximus20778 payback and heat were good tbh
Need for speed hot pursuit 2010 is my favourite and while I admit it is not the best game in the series it is still super fun
UG 2, MW 06, and Heat are my personal favorites. Love this series.
A good gamer is not defined by their victories, but by their ability to recover from their losses.
Most wanted was way ahead of a game for 2005
Most wanted and hot poursuit ! 🔥
Demm the transition of graphic to mostwanted was huge ...Also one of the best storyline hope the remake it with todays tech and cars
NFS Underground 2 is always my classic favorite, and I still love NFS Heat today and still play it. But I'll probably switch to the new NFS game. I love all the custom comic book graphics. And I'm sure they will expand it all in this game. I can't wait to get into it. As long as Need For Speed games always have deep & fresh car customization options and a truly fun arcade-style racing experience with the game engine. NFS will always be my #1 racing video Game.. I will note that Riders Republic is my current favorite game for racing anything. The Rocket Wing races are so intense when it comes to hitting those inside corners at full boost. But this type of race is in 3 dimensions. You want your trail to be the tightest string through a bunch of cheerios. 3D racing is really really fun and really really hard in riders Republic. You have to have a good grasp on 2d racing knowledge to even begin to compete with the best that have already figured it all out. NEED for Speed has always been my favorite, if I could tell the game team 1 thing, it would be, PLAY RIDERS REPUBLIC!!, and it will make all the DLC Content you want to add EASY. It will explode all the game designer's minds with tons of creative ideas. Make it happen! For the love of NFS!!! We have to keep up with the pack and be innovative at the same time if we ever want NFS to survive into the deep future! I still see an untapped market . I Believe in the Need For Speed ! ! !
The magic of these games died after high stakes. The awesome in house techno music and arcade style fun along with split screen were all things I loved. High stakes was amazing, it took NFS 3's game and added to it. Hometown and aquatica or redrock ridge and all of their music tracks have a special place in my heart. I remember 1998 playing NFS 3 on my dads computer using a joystick while racing my little brother. Man... That or playing the PSX version while staying at my cousins in 99. The 90s were the golden era of all gaming genres.
Underground 2, Underground, Most Wanted and Carbon are the best ever! ❤
kzhead.info/sun/qs2KndWyrXp-a58/bejne.html
Prostreet is the worst NFS game at all history, even worse than FlatOut 3: Chaos & Destruction.
Newbie here😆, started playing from 2015
Great video, thanks! Some NFS titles in 2000s and 2010s look blurry. I remember having this problem in the past and I just assumed it was my crappy video card back then, but after playing some of them in a new PC, they still look blur and odd. Also, have they forgotten how to count after NFS3?? I still prefer the old ones, but NFSU2 was quite fun back in the days, since everyone else was playing it. I am glad that my GeForce 5200 was able to run it!
Most Wanted Black Edition 2005 & Underground 2, the best duo ever 🔥
1:30 my childhood 😭
I forgot just how many versions of NFS there were! 🤯
NFS: Carbon is and will always be my favorite. I logged a lot of hours playing it on the Wii. Edited to add that Carbon's soundtrack was awesome too!
Para mim seriam NFS underground 2 e NFS Most Wanted 1 versão
You could see somewhat of a decline after Underground 2. There were a few ok games in between, but it was up and down over the years. I haven't played Heat, but it definitely gave me Underground 2 vibes. Cool they went back to that style of game.
Yeah, I'm 26 and played from Porsche unleashed to pro street as a child. Heat is the only modern one I played, and it's pretty good. Pros: you need to buy your cars and upgrades (I personally prefer this type of setup), great selection of cars, amazing customization, nice risk/reward system to get XP. Cons: brake to drift physics (I prefer U1/U2/mw/carbon physics), steering is kinda twitchy, drift events are pretty broken, some boring missions. Good game overall.
My childhood has to go to NFS Underground, that was the first game from the Nfs franchise i ever played, i can still hear the young me yelling at the other racers.
Amazing!!
God I love 2010 hor pursuit, to me that game was years ahead of it's time, with some of my favorite driving physics of any game to date. It's a real shame that now whenever I try to start the remastered game on my pc it instantly crashes after the intro screen and I could never find a fix
I think most wanted was the peak of the series
You mean The Run
@@MaxRamos8 The Run has the absolute best tracks/environments of any racing game, no contest!
Mw 2005 was my childhood game and is still the best one
For me too, I am currently play MW 2005 remastered.
NFS Heat plays on the Xbox one, Xbox series S and, X PlayStation 4, PS5 all consoles
