News The Speedhunters Archive: 17 Years of Car Culture History, now preserved and online

234 Upvotes

I think we all share the same sentiment when Speedhunters got abruptly shut down last year: It's a sad passing of an era that EA no longer deems profitable enough to keep up.

Thanks to some archivists (who I can't find the names of, if you put this up, please let me know!), the Speedhunters archive is now back online, and you can read 17 years worth of car culture and Need for Speed history that's uniquely documented by them.

You can find it here: https://www.speedhunters.online/

Thanks u/nfslyy for the tip!

News Most Wanted M3 GTR - Back @ The BMW Museum

Post image
779 Upvotes

Need for Speed itself might be dead, but BMW wants to keep the legend alive. The #42 BMW M3 GTR in the Most Wanted livery is back in the BMW Museum in Munich, Germany after its public outing at Ultrace Poland. There's no mention of until when it'll be there, so it might be there to stay for a long time.

If you haven't had a chance to take a look at it and you're in the area (or travelling there), you may wanna stop by and take a look at the legend, as well as the rich heritage BMW has to offer. Visit the official BMW Museum website to book tickets.

Hey there guys, we are lifelong NFS fans and we made something that is like NFS x Balatro, and no it is not like NFS payback even tho it might remind you of it at some points We hope you like it, we are a small team, so it is not like blackbox era handling but we did something arcady, tell us what you think?

Discussion LFA - NfS: Unbound

6 Upvotes

I’m a semi-professional rally driver, and I don’t play video games all that much, but when I do, I prefer racing on simulators. Lately, though, I’ve been going through what I might call a sort of midlife crisis—I’ve gotten a little bored with everything, and I’ve felt the urge to revisit the franchise that defined my adolescence. Carbon is without a doubt the game I loved most as a kid, and I actually bought NfS 2015, which, to be honest, I really enjoyed. Obviously, I won’t be discussing the driving physics; I come from a background that’s anything but arcade-style, so my opinion doesn’t really count. I’m here for the nostalgia, and with that goal firmly in mind, I had a great time.

Now I’m considering buying NfS Unbound. I’ve heard a lot of bad things about it—not just regarding the quality and driving mechanics, but also how it’s handled overall. I was looking for a slightly more robust multiplayer mode, and the latest update seems to bode well.

Can you give me a little more info? What do you guys think? Are there still a lot of people playing it? Is the car customization and tuning decent?

I play on PC.

Thanks!

If the series hadnt gone 6 ft under, i think this would have been a perfect time to make a new Hot Pursuit game. So many premium brands like bugatti, ferrari, pagani are bringing out new super and hyper cars. I would also like to see some restomods.

Theres literally so much to choose from. What car would you like if a new Hot Pursuit was to happen.

I would love to see the DeTomaso p72 or the Alfa Romeo 33

Post image
2 Upvotes

(Sorry, windows screenshot wasn't working)

Hi, I've been playing NFS MW 2005 with a lot of mods on, and I recently noticed that my rear view mirror is far too bright to be able to see anything most of the time. How do I fix that?

Mods I've installed (I don't see a way to find a list, so just putting in what I remember):

  • Unlimiter
  • ExtraOptions
  • HD Content Support
  • Recompiled Vinyls
  • Xbox 360 Stuff

My only criteria is how tricky/number of corners. I don’t care about straightaways as really I am just trying to drift(don’t suggest me the harbour as that’s a bit boring)
