Ranking Every Modern Need For Speed Game!

Need for Speed Tier List! HOT PURSUIT REMAKE HYPE! Modern Need For Speed Games have taken up more of my time than I would like to admit, and still remains as one of the most memorable Arcade Racers, even if it's not always the most enjoyable from title to title. NEED FOR SPEED EDGE IS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO IT NOT BEING RELEASED WHERE I LIVE. SORRY!!
From the beautiful perspectives of Racer or Cop in Hot Pursuit, from the snowy winter of Rivals, to the thrilling chase of the run, to the sprawling city of Most Wanted, the rainy nights of 2015, or the endless desert of Payback. Modern NFS games have been everywhere, and strangely enough, with each release after Hot Pursuit in 2010, something was always lacking. It's almost as if the games were purposely being crappy in one department to retain the nostalgia of previous titles. That is until of course...we cranked up the heat :)

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@neilnair5388 I never really cared about painting cars. Heat consentrates on car painting too much. Its true that Most Wanted didnt have story or progression system, but atleast bad story didnt ruin the game as it did with Need for Speed 2015 with their cringe ass diverse charchters. To complete Most Wanted you need to get first place in every single kind of race, when only certain cars are accepted for certain races and so it was fun to go looking after to try find all the cars in the map. Some races were more difficult, so you needed to restart it multiple times before getting that 1st place. Polices also were preatty good and intense overall with how they tried to get you and you get a lot of money, if you survived police chase with six stars. Yes I know that progression system might be better, but you got to finish races in your own pace with you being able to choose the race you want personally. I didnt personally stumble upon Lamborghini at start or even know it was there, but that might be then one of the worst aspects of the game being able to get super car so early in the game itself.

I actually enjoyed playing Rivals, especially the progression.

[@TigerChamp99]

NFS Rivals had potential to be the best NFS since Carbon. But broken B2D physics, 30fps cap on PC, the inability to pause, and the cops chasing you on sight as if you were an outlaw in the wild west made it kinda disappointing. But I enjoyed this game more than any NFS that came after it. Rivals pursuit OST by Vanessa Lorena is one of the best in the franchise. As a fan of Black Box NFS games, NFS Rivals has a special place in my heart (Rivals was developed by Ghost and Criterion Games). Also the open world of NFS Rivals is underappreciated. Ghost Games and Criterion nailed the snow in this game in my opinion. 30fps cap can be unlocked, but the fps is tied to the gameplay, so every time the game drops fps below your desired fps limit, the game will be slowed down. You will need a really strong PC if you want to play this game at 60+ fps. FYI, weapons like EMP will take half the time (or even less) to hit opponents or you if you choose to unlock 30fps cap.

[@adedhuman9582]

I also would like to applaud the former ghost games for making it in like 6 months

[@TigerChamp99]

@@adedhuman9582 I love how Ghost games made a decent but buggy game within a year, then took 2 years to make Payback and we all know how that turned out. However, Payback's pursuit OST by Joseph Trapanese is one of the best in the franchise and deserves more love. 6 month development time for NFS Rivals is a rumour, but it's possible to make an AAA game with over 200 developers and recycled content within 6-12 months, anyone who played MW2012 will recognize the character models of racer and cop drivers in NFS Rivals.

This is a very controversial take but Most Wanted 2012 is my favorite NFS of all time if I'm being honest. I played the game so much when it came out and I love the soundtrack. Also one of the first games I played that had the Agera R. Most Wanted 2012's visuals were also phenomenal, the way the game looked felt so fitting for the game and the cut scenes when you started races were so mesmerizing. It felt like you were on drugs, especially with the black, white, and red color scheme. The police chases in the game were also really fun for me. Building up the highest score I could, making cops follow me into a jump, or smashing into road blocks was a blast for me. I know people thought unlocking cars by finding them was really bad but I really enjoyed it. I have a short attention span when it comes to singleplayer games and having to search for cars gave me an incentive to explore the map, nothing was more fun for me than accidentally stumbling upon a super car. The game will stay a top five NFS in my heart at least :)

NFS most wanted was the game that got me into racing games , i was really young when i played it so it was really cool to me getting to drive all these cool cars and as a 8 year old kid the progression was pretty fun, you got to race someone in a better car than you and if you won, you kept it. so for that it will always be S tier

@@JinYo265 I really don't see how most wanted is worse than 2015 or payback. At least it wasn't a buggy mess, tuning card crap or something like that. And Heat A+???

@@Brandon0406 As much as I am a Forza fan, I can't help but feel like the quality of the horizon series went downhill from the legendary horizon 1. FH4 is stupidly repetitive and I got burnt out of it really quickly. About NFS heat, It has the same system for the night sessions as NFS rivals, and it gets me really excited (mainly because I know that if I die to cops, it's my fault for either not being good enough, or I made a stupid desicion). In FH4, you get everything handed to you, and that's why I got burnt out. In NFS heat, you don't need to fast travel anywhere (the map really isn't that big, btw), and I discovered most of the map (and most of it's charm) travelling between races. The story is kinda cringe but it got it's appeal and I liked it quite a bit. There's pretty much no sign of EA in this game, aside from the story being a little to short.

Good video, though I respectfully disagree and think you’re super wrong in regards to MW2012. 2015 was NOT a better and more fun experience than MW2012. I just think 2012 was a great Burnout Paradise sequel, especially with the way the multiplayer was set up, and the physics were on par with HP2010 imo. The progression sucked, but the game was still way more enjoyable than 2015 to me. Also the city definitely isn’t “reused from The Run” lol, that point made zero sense. If anything the map is just Paradise City version 2.0. Based take regarding Rivals though, that game is overhated and definitely better than 2015 but totally not a better version of HP2010, it had a ton of bugs and the physics were extremely glitchy at times. HP2010 was perfect and super polished!

Yeah, and although I am sure nostalgia and Hype played into factor in regards to my opinion, NFSMW2012 was really interesting, and overall a good time.

Although the progression overall made the game worse, it was a really interesting idea and made me more appreciate the cars for their uniqueness and less so performance, because you could get some of the best cars right away. Although it was less traditional as a NFS game, it was pretty bold in its ideas and had a really fun and positive vibe, with the occasional artistic twist.

NFS Rivals is one of my favourites. I just really enjoyed it, being able to choose which side of the law you wanted to be on was unique and I just enjoyed the game itself. Maybe I’m biased due to nostalgia since I was 11 when I got it and it was a fun part of my gaming childhood.

Me too but I was 9

I'm nostalgic about it too; it was one of my first PS4 games.

didn't nfs undercover let you do the cop or racer choice first?

@@Bandit74100 yes it did. That’s what made it so fun for me, being able to pick which side you wanted to play on

[@oakguard]

I remember playing Most wanted 2012 at a friends and at the time it was an alright game but then i got it again a couple years ago and as you said getting the cars like you do really ruined it for me it's one of the things that makes car games like this enjoyable you play x amount of races work on the mediocre car you start off with and then after hrs, days of wins and losses you go to the dealer or whatever and slap down the dough and unlock one of those shiny new hypercars and listen to that new engine and it feels amazing

[@puertoricanthundergod876]

My first experience with NFS was NFS Nitro on the Wii and still to this day was one of my favorite racing games and it was the first NFS game that got me into NFS

[@TheUnlocker_]

He sounds so happy when it got to nfs heat, it made me think about getting the game

[@lilquincy6292]

Good game but ea cut the support so fast

[@RJtheREBEL21]

Bro get it. I gave it a chance and now I'm addicted. I can't stop playing it. It made me want to get every single car and customize them how I want. I have 60+ cars and they're all carefully crafted. It's so much fun man, especially once you get really good at it and start smoking everyone online lol.

[@copaxan]

dude i downloaded it and was addicted from start to finish. literally my only issue with it was the cringy cheesey lines the characters would say. everything else was perfect. especially the customization. the customization is fucking crazy

[@DurkinDurks]

Best need for speed since black box hands down. I set every car to grip and they handled perfectly, was completely blown away about finally being able to turn and not super drift everywhere lol sadly it'll probably go down hill since EA gave the game back to Criterion (the studio that almost killed the franchise). Only hope is that some of the devs from Heat can help make more racing games going forward. Heat is the Underground 2 of these days.

[@TheUnlocker_]

@@DurkinDurks its that good! Wow i never knew people liked the game so much, thanks for the stories and tips!

[@shadz8397]

I had kinda the same experience, but with a PS3 and the run

[@josephdegarmo]

NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 was hands-down the best overall game in the series since NFS Most Wanted 2005. It kept the gameplay simple by not pushing out too many features, but was still enjoyable for an arcade racer experience. The graphics were ahead of its time and the gameplay was very smooth with the PC version having amazing performance optimization. NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 was well-deserving of a remastered release for modern consoles in 2020. A masterpiece I fell in love with on my first gaming PC back in the day.

[@Alberts_Kviesis]

NFS stands out for its variations with city maps and open maps. So far I have not seen an NFS with a good balance between night, day, country estates, canyons and city. Another speed track could be added to compete with the V8, at least there would be something to choose from

[@ralcolfwolfcoon8207]

The Run's a good one though. Big car selection, a good soundtrack, and pretty good graphics

[@coledraper5694]

Dude when it came out I played nothing but it for a straight year. And I’ve grown up with NFS since Hot Pursuit 2 on the windows computer lol. But yeah I played the shit out of it I think I got to know Fairhaven better than my own city XD and I have no idea why I loved that game so so much

[@Rainlink]

i loved it too haha

[@hydrophant]

Nope I'm with you. It was hella fun

[@reflex_scopes419]

Heat was my first nfs game, honestly loved everything about it, from how the cars handled to the scenery.

[@sabersz]

I picked up Heat on launch as a curious Forza player wanting to check out NFS. I loved it for the most part and the only shocking thing was how they quite literally cut support for the game after less than a year. EA's whole game practices feel so alien to me at times. But other than that it was a solid game. I can still remember being up at 6am one morning and avoiding the cops at Heat Level 5. My heart was pounding when I finished that night, which is something you rarely get from racing games.

[@reflex_scopes419]

@@sabersz Thats because Ghost didn't want to do microtransactions into Heat, so EA was like yeah, no.

[@sabersz]

@@reflex_scopes419 yep, utterly alien to me. I've never been a big EA fan anyway
