[@shavy9655]

The best thing about prostreet is the atmosphere it offers. The music in combination with the unique tracks, the little cutscenes, the "event character" of the races. I have been in amateur racing IRL for years, and as dumb as it sounds, yes, need for speed pro street isn't to far off in terms of realism of those events. Just listen to the guy talking on stage, while you are in your menu. Also: The Cars they selected are just SPOT ON. There has never been a racing game at the time, who had such a nice selection of all iconic cars.

[@Swattii]

"Unlike its immediate predecessors, which focused on the contemporary illegal street racing scene, ProStreet was conceived as an interpretation of where the culture was heading. After spending a lot of time familiarizing with the scene, Black Box came to the conclusion that the culture was moving away from the streets and getting more organized because the penalties for street racing were too harsh."

I remember going to the store and buying this game and the clerk giggled when he saw me put it on the counter. He called his buddy over and was like “Yo, look what this kid is buying.” Told me if I liked NFS this one might not be for me. Holy shit was he ever more wrong because this probably became one of my favorites in the series hands down. The vibe is absolutely unmatched. And the tuning was so fun to do. Idk i loved running the track a ton to dial in my car *super* tight. Used to spend HOURS just tuning. Made a 6sec drag ‘69 charger when I was a kid and was super proud of myself.

I must mention that the continue bug is fixed if you patch Pro Street to v1.1, and then run Xanvier's Multifix. The bug is because the game tries to phone home to EA's servers, which were shut down ages ago.

There's also other pretty important mods that help provide QoL enhancements like the DLC unlockers, Extra Options, HD Reflections, and Tank Unslapper (removes input delay). EDIT: Also the mods that fix DLC cars since several of them have broken body kits.

Playing it back more than a decade and a half later, now fully grown and more adapt to real life track events and culture, I realize how accurate ProStreet is in its ability to represent the track day culture, with time attack, sector shoot out, multiclass racing, etc. Even the burnout before the drag racing, is legit how you are supposed to properly drag race. It's become one of my favorite NFS games, Top 5 for sure

I also loved the game for introducing us the "new" Nissan GTR at the time with the GTR Proto reveal trailer which was pretty bad ass. Definitely one of the best NFS out there and bring modern games to shame.

[@Piketom1]

15:50 Even though the Forza Horizon games don’t have stories either, for some reason the developers and writers still put a bit of effort into the writing. Even when a game does not have a story, that little bit of effort goes quite a ways toward making the few NPCs feel like characters. The lack of such effort in NFS Pro Street is so jarring while watching this review. It’s been 15 years since I played the game so I’d forgotten how terrible the writing was.

[@mitchelldiedrich]

Honestly, I feel like I can *almost* see what they were going for - the characters in Most Wanted and Carbon were pretty over the top, and they wanted to continue that. The problem is that Ryo's only character trait to amplify is his insecurity, and his reaction is aloofness, which just comes off as shitty writing (which, really, it is). I agree, Forza does a much better job at this.

[@Piketom1]

@@mitchelldiedrich Agreed. The writing in Pro Street and Ryo in particular was both terrible and lazy. I really like the fact that the prior games didn't try to take themselves seriously and really leaned into the corniness of the characters. It was part of the charm.

[@uberschnilthegreat22]

I've actually figured out that for drift events, your score multiplier is based on your CURRENT GEAR more than your drift angle, so you want to have your gear as high as reasonably possible to increase your score multiplier in your drifts. However, you need to be considerate that using a higher gear makes the car handle more stiffly in turns, so you have to balance your current gear and car handling accordingly.

[@Aymanator99]

I reinstalled this game on pc last month after several years of wanting to play it again and God! This is the best racing game ever.

Together with NFSU2 it's my favourite game in the series. I still remember the day I went to a local game shop in march 2009, days before my birthday to buy some game. It was dirt cheap on discount, my friends already told me the game sucks - I had much more money to buy something new but I went with ProStreet. Didn't regret it.

My all time favourite game ever I keep replaying over and over and I will never forget and I will never stop playing this game

Ngl this game came out right when I finally picked up my Eclipse GSX, and was getting super into working on cars, going to the track and meets. I loved this game so much, it's usually what I was doing if I blew up my car lol

I grew up playing this game on the Wii 😅 This is definitely one of my favorite games I’ve played, I’m happy to see that it wasn’t just me 😂

a side note thats a year to late - the continue game bug can be worked around through a mod patch "widescreen fix" since it tackles more then just widescreen fixes. it also tackles this issue and nullifies it- the main reason why the bug exists is actually a Compatability issue rather then a game issue. the game was originally designed for W7 and if you play it on W10 or W11 this bug somehow comes into existence

Took me a while to get into this game. Once I did, I became hooked

[@brandongotsole]

This shows how obsessed I am w this game….watched it all to the end 😂😂😂

Your taste of dry humor is great. Keep doing what you're doing and you're gonna come out big.

Subscribed because the outro was well done

[@sideswipebl]

Holy shit the savagery of the intro is second to none. Instant sub.

[@RadioDemon10]

[@regalcatnetwork8068]
