Can You Beat NFS Heat As A Ricer?

"RICE" is a common term amongst the car community used to describe massively overdone cosmetic customization. The Need for Speed series is known for having the ability to apply Rice to player cars, and today we're back in NFS Heat to roleplay as a Ricer!

"rice" stands for "race inspired cosmetic enhancement" it doesnt mean you cant upgrade the cars performance, just that the people who normally make ricers dont

21:48 That face is so meme-worthy

[@terrazicaio]

As someone who finished HEAT with only RX-7 for street racing, a miata for drifting and a impreza for Off-road, i can safely say: Yes, its completely possible. Heck, even with the pumped up cops from UNITE you can still play and win with a max out RX-7 (altough high heat races get really dificult to get first place, but i was playing on a framerate lower than 30 fps)

[@rxzxqx6982]

what's your pc spec? i want to try heat but idk if my pc can handle it or not

[@mageyannik2731]

I used E30 for road, 370z for drift and WRX for offroad and only started buying other cars after finishing the story an it worked just fine.

[@some_dude2209]

James' german showcasing And his honest to god reaction to Eden's Miata, plus the fact he managed to throw his phone backwards instead of forward is the cherry on top of this video

[@f1fan3000]

I think that 180sx actually looks pretty good. Got that 2000s D1GP style. I mean that yellow livery without chrome rims.

[@cofeerios]

Kinda reminds me of herts rx7 livery

Im not sure how accurate bro’s definition of rice is

[@nedb204]

Ok i take it back💀

[@CyanRooper]

I do think it's possible for the Need for Speed series to have a good progression system that caters to fans of all (or most) car types. The closest we got to that kind of progression system was in Most Wanted 2005 and that game had the benefit of pink slips to help with the progression (yes, I do think abusing the reward card pattern is a gameplay mechanic). Underground 1 is the only other game I can think of with a similarly good progression and that's entirely because of the fact that players could only use one car so they would simply trade cars and carry over the upgrades from the previous car with little money spent (or money received as rebates) and that helped keep the races interesting since you were basically driving over the same tracks over and over again (expecting shit to change. Now that is crazy). Carbon could have had a good progression similar to Most Wanted 2005 if the game had more opportunities for pink slips and the money awarded for completing races on repeats stayed the same instead of being reduced to just $500. Carbon would have benefitted from having mini bosses in the form of other crew members from different crews. They definitely should have let players race against other members of each crew in canyon duels and then give players the chance to win that crew member's car through a pink slip.

[@fineblanket]

IRL its a 100% possible to dominate with a ricer because everyone knows that flame decals make you go faster. Also Japanese trash? Y'all use to be so close.

Holy damn Eden, the editing on this is top-notch! Also, got me popping on having Dudley's theme in SF3 Third Strike at the start (hell, the SF3 Third Strike OST). Good shit! Also, honestly while I haven't finished neither Heat nor Unbound yet, your approach to it in this video was what I felt like going for when I was playing it. Down to actually picking a Civic for the stereotyping jokes (but I like the Civics in Heat at least lol). EDIT: YESSSSSSSSSSS YOU GOT THE CIVIC HAHAHAHA

[@SaintzGB]

Considering the story of NFS heat, i don't think anyone would have to worry about the cops taking that civic

[@demon-x3250]

Ah i remember finishing this game using only 3 cars. I started with the e30 (i remember making it in the app first then shared the livery when the game came out, last i checked a long time ago it had about 150 downloads which i was proud of) until i unlocked the r34. The r34 was my main car for the entire game, i converted the e30 into a drift car and bought the classic mustang for offroad, which i spent maybe 30 minutes making a police livery on it then proceeded to spend nearly as much time vandalizing it with dirt, rust, and grafitti, probably my proudest work for some reason.

Very funny video, awesome editing :) Heat has a nice car collection, I try to pick unusual cars sometimes, keep the 180SX competitive, but a Porsche GT3 RS is also a solid choice for harder races :)

[@montyshxlygrail]

to say that i have BEEN waiting for this video is an understatement

[@zeron3699]

"Ricer" is more of a meme instead of an actual insult now. Some ricer mods are coming back and holy might some pull it off really good, and in countries where rice is basically the main recipe of local car culture, there is no avoidance, you can only accept and appreciate the work and effort put into them.

[@beat-man5167]

the rx7 is my favorite car and out of the 3 ghost games it was actually enjoyable to race in NFS Heat. Even gave it the forged rotary for the lategame. Too bad Ghost never gave it new body options.

You can smoke the game with the starting 180sx. It's also super effective endgame.
