Need For Speed Cinematic Intros (1994 - 2020)

It is Need for Speed's 27 year now with the release of Hot Pursuit Remastered, and let's have a nostalgia trip by looking back at its Cinematic Intros whereby you will skip 99% of the time.
Timeline:

Need For Speed II - 1:23
NFS III Hot Pursuit - 3:25
NFS IV High Stakes - 5:04
NFS 5 Porsche Unleashed - 6:44

NFS Shift 1 - 19:22
NFS World - 20:29
NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 - 20:53
NFS Shift 2 Unleashed - 22:22
NFS The Run - 23:53
NFS Most Wanted 2012 - 24:36
NFS Rivals - 24:56
Need For Speed 2015 - 26:45
Need For Speed Edge - 27:37
NFS Payback - 29:32
NFS Heat - 31:04
NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered - 32:00
Unfortunately, still need to mute Hot Pursuit 2 for a few seconds due copyright, otherwise a few countries will be blocked from viewing. Need For Speed Edge has changed its cinematic in which one scene is inspired by Payback. As for NFS Nitro, unfortunately recording it on an Emulator gives it ugly vertical lines. Hope someone is kind enough to send Nitro's cinematic for next years celebration! As for those who said Hot Pursuit 2010 is using the wrong soundtrack. The E3 version is specifically made to go along with the soundtrack. The in-game version was made specifically to follow the flow of Bombshock.

Are you from Indonesia? If so, we are probably in the same generation. What I missed the most is the current feelings. I remember the first time I played NFSU2 and it feel so advanced. Now when I see it again, it still is. But then I realized it was over 10 years ago. Damn... Back in those days a '10 years gap' feels so old but this doesn't. It feels like yesterday. And yes I'm not a kid anymore... Good old days

3:25 This is where it all started for me. The Countach rocketing off still gives me chills. I love the more underground racing vibe the series went for after that, but for me this is what NFS was all about. Fast, exotic and dangerous cars, concept cars, prototype cars, but also the thrill of riding these vehicles you can only dream about owning.

Man the first Underground and 2010 Hot Pursuit are my favorites!

[@Marco-sv5zx]

Best intro ever, NFS Hot Pursuit (with 30 seconds to mars song maybe)

[@iammituraj]

NFS Porsche was the one which transformed the CGIs. Beautiful lens flare effects and country tracks. Underrated game. It was exotic to ride through generations of Porsche in career mode until the possession of latest GT version.

[@Local_Dictator]

13:13 makes me wanna spam the enter button

[@roastedhd2852]

I love the 2010 Hot Pursuit intro vs the remastered one. And the first underground intro was so ahead of its time!

Because now majority people within NFS community want MW/Underground game.

[@HeroManNick132]

Even if mods exist they still won't be happy no matter what. They are waiting for consoles because they can't afford a damn basic PC. Even if it comes officially there still be people who will complain for the smallest detail that got messed up by mistake.

Okay guys anyone not gonna talk about SHİFT 2 UNLEASHEAD's intro?

Played nfs 1 as a 11 year old dreaming of owning a sports car as an adult. This game motivated me to work hard in my life... Fast forward here I am, I have owned some Porsches and M cars. Now driving a Gt4 with Callista playing from the speakers.

1- High Stakes 2-Hot Pursuit 2010 (with Edge of the Earth) 3-Hot Pursuit 2 4-Most Wanted 5-Porsche Unleashed

[@shadowknight9395]

Agreed with the list but you’re missing Underground 1

[@sir_will_iam]

High stakes was my first one and also first introduction to racing games. Underground 2 was the one that made me a fan of the franchise and street racing as a whole. Most Wanted changed my life forever. Carbon enhanced what most wanted did. Undercover (The PS2 version that is), was really cool to me. ProStreet was a new one, but it grew on me after a few races. 2015 is still to this day the prettiest NFS game I've ever seen and Heat has my entire heart.♥️

[@04liverydesign7]

The Nfs shift 2 intro, showing you the nightmare experience before you actually experience it by yourself.

[@abusaeed22]

NFS high stakes was the most badass video ever, I remember just restarting my ps1 over and over just to see it again and I was like 9 or 10

[@LIQUIDGAMING7]

NFS 2 and NFS 3 Hot Pursuit. So much nostalgia right there.

[@JayBirdBlu_117]

I Love the NFS III: Hot Pursuit Intro, because it's a Classic and the First NFS I Started Playing on the Windows XP, the First Computer I grew up with!

[@AAA-jp7xb]

Need for Speed: High Stakes, first NFS i played i love this intro 😢

[@adknz1131]

Ugh the OST in NFS undercover was amazing. If only BB had enough time to finish and meet their ambition. 😔

[@HeroManNick132]

At least LegSolo exists. With his Project Reformatted mod fixes this broken mess from Black Box. I don't blame them, EA is of course the main threat.

[@adknz1131]

@@HeroManNick132 yep, legsolo really tryna make NFS undercover great again. And I really appreciate that. But EA loves to rush, and close down studios. It honeslty makes me so mad.

[@govinlock8568]

It was because EA wanted NFS to be released anually, despite got suggestion from Black Box that the Undercover need at least two years to be stable. But EA insists to split the NFS division of Black Box into two; half into Pro Street and the others into Undercover. After that failure, EA pointed to other studios to make their own version of franchise, until Ghost Games take over independently during development of NFS Rivals. Sadly, Sweden (which is the location of Ghost Games) don't have much talented racing games programmers as Canada (Black Box) and UK (Criterion Games).

[@govinlock8568]

Also, the failure of The Run is caused by difficulty port of First Person Shooter game engine to racing games.

[@HeroManNick132]

@@govinlock8568 Also, the reason why it was used it was mostly according to Black Box is to capture and put better animations for the cutscenes like the QTE. But another bad thing it is nod mod-friendly engine.

El shift 2 super infravalorado, y ademas el mas dificil de todos, correr mas de 20 vueltas en una carrera de resistencia de noche o completar una vuelta en Nürburgring Nordschleife el circuito mas dificil del mundo, en el GT1 era algo de otro nivel, la presión y los nervios de punta en cada curva, jamas lo olvidaré, de lejos para mi el mejor nfs en cuanto a dificultad

[@taleeftamsal1024]

NFSU2 still gives me chills to this day. Thanks ISAD.

[@MarshallXeno]

Most Wanted just hit different. Swapping between the cinematic perspective and eventually a split screen following two perspectives of the action of Mia and the Protagonist. The intense action almost makes you forget it's a racing game. This is how you know the main appeal is the cops. For real one of the best ones. Hot Pursuit 2 also felt right.
