I Played AND Ranked EVERY Need For Speed Game

[@garylai363]

22:27 Thanks for mentioning this, and not many people know or realize that we had to ship a game every year. I worked at Blackbox from Underground 2 until Undercover, when I left. Honestly the team always put a ton of effort into each game, and the scope was always more than what we released, but things would come up like technical issues or time constraints. Our actual production time was more like 9-10 months out of the year as things did not ramp up right away after one game finished.

[@Micholex]

Underground 2 is a legendary piece of media, so sad to see blackbox gone

I actually love nfs 2015, the shift back to the underground type street scene was such a welcome change and I honestly loved the story. Something about the simplicity of being part of a friend group that loves cars created such a chill experience. ... that they completely ruined with the garbage of payback.

[@ADrug]

This guy gets it. Yes, the driving model ain't the best, the cops are 600 fucking miles below abysmal, but the vibe, music and graphics are great. Only in Underground 2 it was as pleasant to just chill in the garage and tune cars. And even if the selection of those cars wasn't huge, everything that is there is so tempting to get and mod the shit out of. Replaying it once every two or three years ever since release.

[@daithefluxxx]

​@@ADrug The vibe and also icl the nostalgia of nfs 2015 are so great it just wipes every other need for speed since just because of that, the music is insane, the lighting, the rain, the always night time, the underground street racing vibe, its just so immaculate.

Yes! I'm not the only one! I love NFS 2015, it just reminds me a lot of Underground 2, also the almost not existing cops are one of the reasons that reminds me of U2.

Most wanted 2012 is the best game ever for like 2 hours. You drive around, find an r8 or something in a ditch, you get an endorphine rush, you're pumped to explore the map then about 2 hours later you find a dup and you realize there's multiple locations for every car and you'll probably find all of them eventually. This could have been the best progression system in any racing game if there were no duplicate cars. It also gives you a chance to try some random Ford Focus that you wouldn't have bought in a classic NFS. I mean yeah there's 200 cars you can buy but you only have so much money so you'll start the game in a Dacia Logan then buy a Subaru then a Mustang then a Porsche then a Ferrari then you'll finish the campaign and uninstall the game.

[@gdottothegamer1001]

Agree. I absolutely love Carbon because of the Canyon Duel, we have drift and not drag, gameplay feels a lot better (probably my brain tricked me but that's how I feel), and Palmont looks 10x better than Rockport. The structures in Palmont look bigger which makes it feel like I'm in an actual city, while in Rockport it feels like I'm in a miniature city because of the size of the structures. I'm guessing the reason for that is because of the use of night time in Carbon which masks the real size of the structures. Speaking of night time, it's also the reason why I love it. Seeing the neon and other light illuminate the city is just gorgeous. The canyons are also really beautiful and scary at the same time for how dark it is. On the other hand, I never really liked the piss filter in MW05. It just looks so ugly, and I've been playing that game since 2008-ish. I just wish that the game was longer and had more bosses. It's kinda weird seeing a story that went from big (15 blacklist) in the first instalment to small (4 bosses) in the sequel.

Exactly read my list my comment is on here somewhere by itself haha anyways I totally agree the best most complete feeling for its time NFS is NFSHP2 and he didn't play the PS2 version so like he's completely clueless and doesn't even deserve the give a list since he didn't play the essential NFS haha he put it in B its easily S tier and #1 for me

[@zanetaylor9001]

Most wanted is the obvious GOAT, Heat was a surprising banger that's still by far the best modern version of NFS, and I won't even look at or try unbound because I'm not a fucking five year old, why the fuck is it a cartoon? F-

[@Vegeto-bluee]

I have that game in my laptop that nfs unbound that game sucks for sure . But heat was way more fun to play at night time man that rhino cop car was a real deal it would send my Koenigsegg flying 😂

[@tk300693]

Pro Street is severely underrated imo. It has both street and track influence making it very unique. From the design of the cars and the game's handling, its like a combination of MW and shift.

[@sttrsp9700]

thats why it was crap. People who played NFS wanted street racing, cops all that excitement. To takew that away and go to shitty track racing waspathetic. If you wanted a track racing game, there were plenty of better options.

[@anywhere_but_here]

@@sttrsp9700 sure, but they literally released 1-2 NFS games a year, so i dont get why it was controversial to put out a game that appealed to track racing instead at least ONCE. like god forbid they cater to a slightly different market once in a while.

[@P_D-px6iv]

​@sttrsp9700 prostreets main appeal for most people was the Drift and Drag events which no other game compared to at that time. Even today Prostreets drag racing remains one of the best

Honestly I always liked how close to a racing sim The Run was, after The Run I went from NFS to Gran Turismo, but every now and then after getting some medals in GT7, I go back to the run for a while. It's funny how proper sim racers make something as difficult as the run seem "arcade" like.

[@b.0.z.nightcore519]

The fact you're only asking for only 10 likes on this video is crazy. Although I don't really agree with the list, the effort you put into this truly deserves recognition. And got recognition. Good luck with your channel G

[@AJ6spd]

13:05 this tells why you ranked the games released before 2005 low because you didn't experienced them in their prime

[@cyananamation2466]

Exactly, people should take off their pink tinted glasses of nostalgia before doing reviews, for everyone, their best games are the one experienced in their time as a child but as you grow old you don't enjoy the next iterations as much, not because they are bad (sometimes they are lol) but because you grew up

[@pravnav]

Exactly lol, the 2000s games are so FKING overrated and yet the 30 year olds will defend it until the world ends

[@GripAttack777]

At the risk of sounding like a "boomer", I agree. I truly believe the older games (like Hot Pursuit 3, High Stakes, Porsche Unleashed , Hot Pursuit 2 as well) don't get enough of their flowers. THAT era was when you could really tell EA cared about their product and wanted you to enjoy every little detail within the game. Everything from the cars, to the soundtrack, to the ambiance of the tracks etc. Anyway, once I found out this dude was 19, the ranking made a lot more sense lol. Granted, I like the concept of his video, but this ideally needs to be done by someone who was actually around to experience the franchise from the very beginning to present.

[@Batman-yi6vc]

Finally someone said it. I felt that his rating on the older games was so plain and unfair.

[@siggistef192]

he didn't recognize it, he damaged its reputation if anything. People really like it. And not to mention he put Unbound over it?? terrible list in my opinion ( ik its just his experience and opinions and I respect that)

[@huckersholders9490]

heat was a good one

[@Sol_anum]

The thing about Prostreet is that back then when people think about NFS games, it's about street racing, neon lights and driving through police and traffic. I always think of Prostreet as "GT4 clone where you can modify your car".

[@xnotasweatx]

NFSII through Porsche Unleashed had incredible soundtracks. Modern NFS misses Rom di Prisco's music badly. Also, RIP to Saki Kaskas, Callista is an all-time great menu track for a videogame.

[@Yoshi6969]

Putting NFS Shift in C tier is a crime. You should try to play it again, such a fun game.

[@KindDmoN]

Shame you didn't play need for speed on the psp. Easily the best story and city and the driving was exceptional. Also regarding need for speed payback, the reason why you didnt get downgrade parts its because EA got such a huge backlash over the microtransactions that they had to patch the game so that it awarded you equal or better parts (the drops were so bad because they were trying to force you to buy microtransactions.)

[@Bakuru]

Every time I see a ranking like this for Need for Speed games, and its being done in this day and age, I feel like NFS Hot Pursuit II always get underrated because no one is able to play the original PS2 version, which is a very different game from any other version. NFS Hot Pursuit II for the PS2 is still, to this DAY, the most fun racing game I have ever played. And my favorite genre of games is racing, I've played ALOT of them LOL NFS Hot Pursuit II was originally supposed to be console exclusive for the PS2. I don't remember who or why they changed their minds and wanted it to be cross console, but Black Box refused to do thaf process AGAIN for the other consoles, so it was done by some other indie company using some of the Black Box coding, but it's very bare bones. It has almost none of the actual mechanics of the full game. So when you play it anywhere else, it looks stupid by comparison.....I feel like it needs a proper review on the ORIGINAL game so people can really appreciate this gem 💯 Also, this is the game that introduced most people of that time to the best car ever made, the McLaren F1 🔥

[@RogueVigilante]

You said it I left a review on here somewhere read it if you desire I am total agreance with you and put it @ #1 easily the best NFS title is NFSHP2 righteous and the cops were the best it had the best feeling and controls twas just incredible always will be the best because they haven't remade it and the quality of the PS2 version is unmatched since in the series ;')

[@BlagBlog-kl8dm]

So true i played it back in the days on the ps2 i could not stop playing the game i my opinion one of the best i played so far

[@BlagBlog-kl8dm]

And true it was made for the ps2 with the cpu from back in those days made for a controller it feld realy smooth no lag and steering in the corners was great and in hole the game it self

[@ericdevito1105]

Not playing Hot Pursuit 2 on ps2 or emulator is criminal. There’s so many changes, even a better handling option.

[@yveshku5583]

Honestly, to each their own opinion. You enjoy what you like, and that's okay. I loved Pro Street, for the most part. Most of the games I do at least like. And then there's Payback and Undercover. My personal top three in no particular order would be Rivals, The Run, and Underground 2. An honourable mention to Heat, I loved more than I expected.

[@320_allstar]

600 followers? How’s that even possible. You are mad underrated

[@BobbyCarillo]

For some reason even as a kid i loved Carbon more than Most Wanted.

[@SupplementalSense]

I haven't played every single title but I definitely agree on Most Wanted 2005 and Underground 2. I think The Run is very underrated by most people. You rated that one more accurately than most. My biggest disparity would be with ProStreet. I think I love it because it has elements of rpg to it. I prefer more of a racing sim that doesn't scale difficulty. This game isn't exactly that, but it is more than most NFS titles. It's like Underground 2 without roaming the streets for races. And honestly, that was my least favorite part of that game anyway.

[@ftheweebs6799]

pro street is basicly Forza Motorsport/Grand Turismo on crack...... And I love it, who would thought that combining NFS Arcade handling and putting in close track race would be so much fun. Plus the game has a style and interesting progressing system (unlike the Shift Series that take itself to seriously)

[@justinkidder6872]

You were born the year i graduated. Thanks for making me feel old.

[@XCougar85X]

First 10 minutes were a real nostalgia trip. Played NFS 2 & 3 so-so much. NFS2 had some other versions too with extra cars and tracks. And you could mod in so many thins. Raced in busses and what not. After the first Underground i haven't played a NFS since that. Tempted to try Heat and Unbound when i get some time.

[@ileutur6863]

Keep in mind you can't just view NFS games from a modern context. Yeah many of them are dated now, but they were insanely innovative back then. Pretty much every entry until undercover had something never tried in any other racing game.

So is unbound. unbound tried something new and what happend people hate it. they say it is sane as heat. so what like the whole fucking balck box era was so similar to each other.

NFS pro street is the best racing game ever. No other game comes close to replicating high speed feeling, danger of racing in such speeds and having a wide range of race types all well balanced and having different feeling - drift, drag, circuit, wheelie, top speed runs. Each car had unique feeling, muscle cars felt heavy but strong, lighter cars felt like they suppose to. Road bumps actually effected the ride and there was realistic damage. Endless modifications and great selection of cars. Great atmosphere. The game had everything it just went under appreciated.

[@ix-badsport-xix7433]

IMO Carbon was as good if not better than Most Wanted ‘05. I might be biased since I grew up playing it along side Underground 1 and 2, but when you think about it it’s really Most Wanted at night but refined. I’ll admit I prefer the metal and music track in Most Wanted, but I prefer the night atmosphere and beautiful lights of Silverton in Carbon.
