Fun Fact: KM4SH stands for "Kei Miura For Speedhunters". The Founder/CEO of TRA Kyoto, Pandem, Rocket Bunny, etc. designed some body panels in partnership with EA's automotive publication/blog (Speedhunters) a few years back for the FR-S/BRZ platform.

[@UrbanBackflip]

They should add another class either H and H+ or R and R+ meaning hypercar or racecar. I feel the S+ class is way too unbalanced

[@omz31]

I can’t control s+ cars when at their top speeds 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@lhoujikasdfbjklfasdhbjkas7696]

Let every hyper has about the same 1500hp and this thing can be solved

[@mitch846]

True, in multiplayer i'm using the porshe 919 with max upgrade with 100% grip but if you find the regera and a decent player it's over, in my opinion A A+ are really good

[@UrbanBackflip]

@@omz31 I always turn off camera shake and I use the hood view I find it WAYYYY easier

[@Tumbo8]

They have to look at how the crew has cars balanced, the crew can balance auch wider selection of vehicles better idk wtf nfs heat on, that's why I personally don't play online or the game anymore tbh after I beat the story mode

16:24 that and 17:29 finishes are Fast and Furious franchise worth.

[@Urbanz95]

if you let go off the gas a tiny bit so it doesn't go to rev limiter you get 20kph extra, normally is 350kph full throttle, 370kph if you let go a tiny bit

[@falcongamer58]

How

[@vyrkolach5546]

@@falcongamer58 just don't full throttle when you launch. Don't let it go in to rev limiter. Rev limiter keeps going and killing your launch. Same thing for top speed. If you push too hard car will go into rev limiter but if you let go off the gas lil bit. It will slowly climb up to higher speed.

[@25Dzone]

My biggest problem with Unbound is how similar the events feel - there's not many unique race start points on the map and the map looks big but feels smaller than Heat at times. It's so strange - I think I much prefer NFS Heat the more I play Unbound - it's a shame but at least we get NFS games with some sort of support from the Devs.

[@WaryTM]

Ya know, I was thinking the same thing as I was playing yesterday. The races all have similar or the same routes. It would be nice to see a larger variety. I'm interested to see in future DLCs if they decide to add new locations. I would love that instead of only additional cars/events.

[@25Dzone]

@@WaryTM Yeah there's huge potential with like new areas of the map or something - there's a lot they could do with DLC / extra support, so I am hopeful Unbound just keeps getting better. But so far, I wasn't a huge fan of the story & I'm kinda not enjoying the race / gameplay loop post-game since everything feels so same-y.

[@spookyreaper1702]

Glad other people think the same.. everyone’s just saying how good it is… if you’ve played nfs a lot you see all the flaws

[@WaryTM]

@@25Dzone I’m also not a huge fan of how separate the story and multiplayer are. Makes the story seem kind of “pointless” once completed. All you get are the free cars that carry over. Once they add cops to multiplayer that’ll make it much more fun. Even if they only appear during races

[@25Dzone]

@@WaryTM Completely agree - I honestly think they should've just made it so you can do freeroam Single player or Multi-player as soon as the story is over and just reflect it in the Race winnings or something. My favourite thing to do in Heat was just driving around and enjoying the cars I was building.

[@augosyx]

Seen this car in Online lobbies and despite all their crashes, they can still somehow go back up and very fast too.

[@Blurgamer17]

In S Class, the car usually has a Top Speed of 207 MpH and Spins the front wheels all the way to 100-120MpH (that's with a 4th gear start and shifting onwards). Once the wheels get traction, its Acceleration is 2nd to the Regera. The fastest it can corner is 177MpH, and it can drift as well as grip very frequently (good for Burst Nos gains).

[@vapor404]

Haha funny small car go vroom

[@augosyx]

@@Blurgamer17 no shit. Literally caved in and decided to buy the Golf and went up to S+ and this car is mental especially with full grip!

[@tylerabreo1610]

S+ class this car is unreal with the high power v8. It wheelspins through every gear except 6th but once it gets going it blazes past literally everything. The only limiting factor is the top speed but given you have enough corners this thing will not lose.

Using the gti and it's an absolute joy to drive. Not tailwhips, easy steering correction, and so quick in the corners. Top speed is insane as well

[@Kerm_ST1]

this game would have been so much fun with a co-op story mode, i mean think about it, crew racing and a game built around crews kinda like carbon but your crew is your friends and you compete for territory like carbon but a longer story. that would be a great nfs idea tbh. they are kinda missing out on some good ideas for these games

[@rightbehindyou9398]

Well what you're describing sounds similar to the conveniently named The Crew (1)

[@Kerm_ST1]

@@rightbehindyou9398 nah it should play like nfs carbon but only your friends can join your world, and that’s your crew. Not always online with random people. And your friends compete with you not against you kinda like how the crew system worked in carbon

[@XILPIX]

Speaking from personal experience Example a 1.2l Clio and a 6speed 1.8l mx5... 60mph in the Clio feels a fair bit faster than going 100mph in the mx5, so I think NFS did well making smaller older cars feel faster at lower high speeds

[@YogurtRashadain]

Hey Theo, just watched your video on Regera - some people are discovering the way to use Burst Nitrous in a completely bonkers way which allows for 100x faster cornering. You can take 90 degree turns going over 220 mph - there's for example this guy called The Goliath and he does a Big City Life race in 2:16:54, some of his moves are insane - maybe you could do a video on proper usage of burst nitrous?

[@Josh_Quillan]

I love how the more desperate Theo gets, the more he turns into Jeremy Clarkson Also, pretty sure he put the off-road suspension on while building the S+ version. Not sure if that was on purpose or not.

[@Enpatsu393]

There is some stuff that need balance in this game.. I was racing in S class max build in a Ferrari testarossa.. no crash and the golf finished 25 second ahead..

Theo 4 speed transmission is the best transmission for this golf it goes 0 to 223mph in 9 seconds it’s the second best accelerating cars in the game the regera beats it but that’s it in S+ you need to try it

[@McLovin-rp5od]

I've noticed the numbers are off on some of the upgrades and you can go above the "potential" that they show

That’s because potential HP doesn’t take into account the forced induction.

This volkswagen is 100% better in S class with an unorthodox build: Same 4.9L V8 as in the video Elite Induction Elite ECU Sport Fuel System Sport Exhaust Elite SINGLE Turbo Elite Nitrous Basic Suspension Basic Brakes Sport GRIP Tires Basic Clutch Pro 6speed Elite Differential Super Grip Nitrous Super Drift Nitrous (45% Grip should bring you down to S class) With this setup it's just as overpowered as the Regera is in S+, you wheel spin 1st-5th gear and then you take off in 6th gear.

[@PLAYER_42069]

"The moment you turn, this thing looses speed". Hmm. Just like real life, eh? I say this jokingly because it's interesting how NFS models some cars' handling closer to their real life counter-parts compared to others' where it's completely fictional in terms of arcade handling, speed, etc. BTW, a girl I had a crush on in high school, her first car was a Golf GTI. It's perfect for teen (inexperienced) drivers because it easy to drive, fuel efficient and very safe being a VW. Keep up the great content, Theo!

I’d suggest giving the Ferrari testarossa a try, I had a very good experience with it in s class with everything maxed except stock clutch, nos and no turbo or supercharger. It’s also ridiculously stable at high speed in s+, it could probably be a better s+ car but I have only tried with the stock engine. With full grip it handles insane

It seems no new driving games come close to the customisation of old games...it's really annoying, u basically end up with one decent looking option and one wacky one. I remember (I don't know which one) NFS having even sliders for each body part to scale and hight position! I'm always so disappointed with new games, after a couple of cars it just becomes so boring to tune most of them, like Forza I love the game but I just can't stomach going through the same motions with 100s of cars, I do understand there's way to many cars to have tons of options, but atleast have a bunch of classic street racing cars with loads of modding potential. I think games like unbound have no excuse at all every car should have heaps of customisations
