What is happening with Need for Speed ​​or “Return Undergrowond!”

I warn you: everything written below is purely my opinion/position that I want to share with other fans of the game.
It’s no secret that sofa analysts say that NFS is no longer a cake. Devoted fans (they consider themselves to be such) screaming: “Return the underground!”One cannot disagree with either the first or the second. But if anyone can simply ignore the first, then secondly I want to throw something weighty. Well, if you want to throw anything at someone, then it is better to explain it right away.

The main problem has long been noticed by many – this is almost complete ignorance of the specifics and the essence of the game against the background of high self -esteem and incredible narcissism. For such I will explain – undrground – this 7th part of the entire series, which, in principle, is already a rather big figure. Before that, there were many good parts*, which, although graphically outdated, but even now playing them is no less interesting than even in the same underground. At the same time, without bothering in the study of the entire NFS series, each such “fan” considers himself a megacritic around which the entire Criterion Games and Black Box should spin. Well, okay, the problem is not only that.
In principle, I do not argue, Underground is a very good game that is unlikely to ever be forgotten and will evict nostalgia even in a dozen years, but still all its predecessors are undeservedly forgotten. And, in fact, I want to throw something in these people not because of their behavior, but even purely from fan motives. After all, such players always justify their statements by the fact that they are devoted patriots of the same NFS, but if they were real fans, they never said that underground – The best The game of the series. She is just worthy of the worthy … And if you are a real NFS fan, you should get acquainted with the origins of this franchise, and only then will you understand how wonderful it is: Need for Speed ​​High Stakes, for example. Here the player is always in constant tension, because he will have to pay for every mistake, because here no one will just allow to take and reboot. Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, which has introduced an innovative and unique gameplay for its time. This is if very, very briefly about them.

And what can be said about the fatal phrase for any franchise: “NFS is not the same. “? Yes, nothing in principle. After all, the series itself began gradually collapses back in 2006. The ingenious Prostreet pulls to the bottom of the … Remimiky Undercover, which is again drawn by Shift, and so on the terrible Rivals. I will write in detail about Rivals in the form of a PC, and I will explain why in my opinion it is a failure. That is, these “analysts” seem to be right, and it seems not, because in this case they were late to be indignant on this topic. But on the other hand, EA would not have thought of, probably, without these indignations to remove the game from the conventional regime. Yes, and to say that they changed their minds in time, since the most far-sighted critics in the same 2006 already began to garbage this topic.

I will return to this eternal topic more than once about one of the greatest and most popular cyber-honis of the whole game. In the meantime, I look forward to your opinions and comments on this topic.

* Although I myself also met a series through NFSU, and my age does not really roll on such pathos Oldfagov’s speeches, I, as a fan of the series, went through all the parts, starting with Hot Pursuit

The best comments

Yes, by the way, about Rivals. Sorry to forget about him to write:
Gameplay – about the Alldrive system, I think that in Rivals it is useless. To. You can’t get much pleasure from it, as, for example, from a classic multiplayer. There are 5 cars with a margin of safety that are controlled by other gamers, well, and? Even the likelihood that you will meet someone in 10 minutes and is small. Due to Alldrive, the game is constantly rebooted with any change in the administrator, plus it also interferes with pause to put the game, even if you play offline. In short, an incredibly small number of players for their generation and map scale. Career promotion in Rivals is somehow stupid, similar to the meaningless receipt of acutions. “Go here, jump away, beautifully drift” … Why? What is from multiplayer, that from a single pleasure is almost zero. And for a policeman, as Max correctly noticed, playing is generally uninteresting, and their cars are periodically incomprehensible to various events react. By the way, I would like to compare the free ride in Rivals, Burnout and Hot Pursuit. In Burnout, this feature was distinguished by the fact that it was interesting there, even just to study the city for itself, or some secluded places, and there, by the way, we could need the future. Hot Pursuit realized that on such a map few people would have to ride, and they were unnecessary, so there they made it in the form of an option. In Rivals, where the long-shaped roads are even more boring to study, the only salvation was an inexplicable miracle teleporter, which still needs to be reached!
About the gaming zone. It can be briefly described in one word – bad! The developers were probably so too lazy to make the game that a little more than half of the card was stolen from Hot Pursuit and stuck several new locations. Already at the first half an hour of the game, excerpts of the memoirs of my pastime for the 2010th year of the 2010th Hot Pursium began to come to my mind. Painfully familiar landscapes and routes are everywhere found.
And the most important element of the game is a fleet. The fleet in the game is terribly monotonous and for the current generation of games small. If in the original (Hot Pursuit) it began with all of us beloved by Underground by serial tuners, and only then ended with mega-super-hypercars of our time, then in the parody (well, the tongue does not rotate in any way, even a remake) on both sides begins with supercars and ends with more expensive supercars. “Maybe there will be a lot of them?”And this hope just evaporates when you are in the assortment … 34 cars from racers?! How many? 34? All. This terrifying thought, as a blind and stupid fan of the series, did not leave me even when I went to bed. In HP cars without DLC, there were more than 65! And there is absolutely every car, regardless of the preferences and taste of the player, pleased the eye and there was a pleasure to ride on each of them. In the same part, I feel the whole difference between machines only in their maneuverability and see in textures.
The whole gain of the game is only in the atmosphere of the environment and the graphics, which they tried very much over.
And by the way, everyone noticed that I compare this game with HP. Justified:
Cards divided into zones? Eat!
Game for a policeman and a racer? Eat!
All sorts of pumped mega-technologies for various basses? Eat!
Well, many different very small similarities.
Hot Pursuit was the same remake, and everything, unlike the old original, was finalized, updated and improved. Rivals is a separate project.
If you summarize, this game in fan eyes can only boast that it is several times better than Flatout: Chaos and Destructions. Even Undercover was much better at least because it was just a failed separate project, and not a stupid self -digging with a name that few people are familiar.

NFS is not a piratespins.org.uk cake! The series was leaked! Return the underground.
For example, I started acquaintance with the NFS with Porsche Unleashed and some other part (I don’t even remember what -___-). Then the Underground, Most Wanted, and T were standard.D. And of all the NFS I played most of all, I like MW. And I see nothing wrong with the fact that I want a new part of the series similar to MW, and not to some kind of NFS of 199.

Well, he is also cool, but underground 2 is cooler)
There is a test of mega test, though there are cops in the Vantede bridge, but styling is cooler)

I didn’t understand, you scold fans for the subjectivity and inadequacy of their judgments, in other words for fanaticism. Tell the fans that they are too fanatic to be fans. This is weird.

Firstly, I warned that everything written in this topic is a purely personal opinion. And secondly, I started the conversation about those who scream that Underground- best, And about those who at the same time declare that it is a fan of the franchise, knowing about it, figuratively speaking, only that Underground is the best!
Therefore, I also do not see anything bad that you want a remake/continuation of one part, and I – the other. You can create just the same blog, but express your point of view, justifying it.

And why minute? There was not a single bad part of the NFS, from the main series. The whole problem is that the games often came out very different. Srach type – “NFS is no longer”, were long before Underground.

Yes, it seems to be written normally, or maybe this is the smell of paint and varnish, standing with a dense kumar in the apartment.
I see no reason not to consider underground 2 the best game in the series and generally the best rut of the Eure.

Something somehow about nothing. Well, yes, there were parts of the NFS to Undergrow-A, but what kind of makar it prevents people from calling the seventh part of the best?
Captains on the obviousness and from the side of the bow, uh huh. And also written crooked.
And for me (and for most of my friends who played in the NFS) the best is the Most Wanted.

For me, the people almost unreasonably forgot Hot Pursuit 2. Of course, she has its drawbacks. But there was a cool graphon, a muzon, a fleet, and playing it was pretty fun.
As for the post, I can say that from him the soul of “burnt pukan” blows from him.

Everything is forgotten a little. But yes, I really liked HP2, half of the soundtrack in the playlist and it is in it that my favorite machine from all parts of the series.

To understand how easy your text is to read – read it yourself the second time. At the same time, by the way, you will catch missing words, not very harmoniously constructed sentences and other errors. Try to compare your work at least in volume with what is done in articles and notes – your text is now drawn to a maximum commentary, not a blog. If on the topic: it’s good that at least some conventional series stop, recognizing the fact that it is time to change something more thoroughly. Specifically for the next part of the NFS, I will not miss at least another couple of years.

I am so on a vibbon. Well, what really everyone loves races where there are only 2 tracks and graphone?
Statistics do not need something obviously good for something. Or that I’m wrong? The game does not need tuning, as well as beautiful tracks with good soundtrack, etc.D?
In general, something deepened into offtopic and sofa analytics.

Damn t.T
Will be stuck, but I will express. Not so rivals and bad. There is a very pleasant graphon, quite interesting “contractions” even with bots (in events. In a free game, of course, worse). And with real players and even more fun (if, of course, they do not sit all the time at the repair point). For me so very good game. Bought for Pek and PS 4. I do not regret, unlike, say, purchases of the fourth battle. But this is another story and does not apply to business 🙂

Vooooh … All of the above is a private opinion and blah blah blah. I also don’t want to offend the fans of the series. For he played only in the last three NFS and I, somehow, I liked Rivals most of them. Dixi

To the point. Most of all I want the continuation of NFS Prostreet. In this game, the line between Arkada and Avtosim is perfect. The old kind arcade, but the player will regret if the wall chooses as a brake)

Not only my tastes, it seems, is still from the time of NFS: MW complained that tuning was cut in the game, but now it is not at all. O5 are good landscapes, beautiful and interesting forks, etc.D and t.P, I’m talking about what everyone likes. Now there is a graphon in the NFS and that’s it. EA thinks that everyone likes their games not because they are of high quality, but because they come out every year.(Well, the cat thinks so too)
