EA should understand that NFS was always about beautiful dream-like locations, sexy cars and fast driving . No city gang races, speedcameras and other crap which made the series far from the roots.

[@metallicarabbit]

too bad that era sold better than what you are on about. Most Wanted 2005 alone sold 16 million copies while Nfs3 sold 1.7 million. most wanted sold more than the entire classic NFS series combined.

[@Poodz_]

Personally I loved both. Hot Pursuit was an incredible arcade racer, but Most Wanted and all that were incredible games for exploration, street racing, car customisation, game progression etc. There is room for both.

[@Blood-PawWerewolf]

That’s because we know that NFS 2022 would suck (because EA’s last like 2 games have been so bad, that it pretty much killed any hype that NFS 2022 will be at least as good as NFS Heat, as well as the recent leaks possibly hinting at microtransactions/in game credit are going to be in NFS 2022). Of course the NFS community would be going back to the best games in the series and making fan remakes of them.

People seem to hate on 1990's and 2000's games because of their graphics. Whee NFS III: Hot Pursuit released in 1998, people thought the graphics looked better then NFS II. Now people hate the original game graphics because they wish Unreal Engine 5 existed back then? I swear when Epic Games first showcased Unreal Engine 5, people start hating older games from the 1990's and 2000's. People seem hate all games when they age. People in 1998: "Wow look at those graphics! Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit look better than the previous game" People in 2022: "God those graphics are outdated, I can't believe Unreal Engine 5 didn't existed back then"

[@desireless4092]

While the novelty of a big city hyped people with the tuner era, what was lost was the personality of each map, that IMHO were as much as one of the "characters" in the game, much like the cars. Each map with a distinctive look, feel and atmosphere to the point where you knew them like the back of your hand as mastering them like the cars was part of the gameplay and each felt different from the other. I miss those touches.

I've been playing NFS III HP since I was 8 yrs old in 2003 , I have played both the PS1 and PC versions extensively and still fire up the PC version every two months or so .IMO this is how a remaster should be done . You have not messed with the models or the textures but simply made everything look smoother and overhauled the lighting and made everything modernish and I don't think you messed with the original physics system as well because the cars do spin in the air like that when you crash into walls at certain angles and speed like in 1:29. Hometown and Atlantica both look amazing. . Good on you and this really made my day as I know that there are many people out there who love this game .
