Need for speed line : The beginning & the future.

SKYLINE 266 · Post by **SKYLINE 266** » 15 Nov 2005, 16:04

they remember when the first need for speed came out for sale?, me not, because i was very young.
The first need for speed that I knew was the NFS 4: Road challenge, or better acquaintance as
High Stakes.It was an entire novelty, because now there was model of damages and it could modify the car partly.
Tell us your first experience a Need For Speed and what you wait for the next to come out.

Im still in love with Hot Pursuit and Porsche Unleashed, but times are changing and we will all have to settle with Hollywood style NFS Games, so despite the qaulity and change in EA, I still like NFS.

The first NFS game I played was NFS 3: Hot Pursuit, and I loved it, so I also got all the others. I really liked Porsche Unleashed, it just was a refreshing formula and I also liked to see all Porsches ever built, and even drive them

Some people find every new NFS game less original than the last one before, but I still enjoy playing a new NFS game like I did playing Hot Pursuit

My 1st was Porsche Unleashed and to me it was a very realistic game, the handling the gameplay everything, the career mode was very well handled, owning almost all the porsches was cool too.

Then i got Hot Pursuit 2, which to me was just so-so.

Then BAM!, the new tuner line street racing nfs series, i loved nfsu1 that was a nice move by EA, to make a tuning racing game.

Then came NFSU2, to me the only thing i rathered was the handling and engine sound effects, in the end though i rathered this over nfs1.

And now Most Wanted, so far i love how the handling feels(sumone asked if drag will be in mw, yea it will, i think drift has been replace with sum sorta knock out racing though)Overall so far this game is a huge step up from NFSU2.

My first NfS was Hot Pursuit. Afterwards I also got to play NfS2 but I was sorta in love woh NfS HP. After that I had all NfS games and actually liked them as well. I was a bit disappointed by NfS U1 but in the end i played U2 quite long and had much fun with it.
Porsche Unleashed was also cool because you could buy-repair-sell cars and also have a really big garage wich I thought was cool!

I got addicted to NFS when I began playing the NFSHS Demo. I became an avid fan since then, and I skipped the PU and continue till now.

I started in 96 or 97, with the PC version of TNFS. Had to visit a friend to play it tho, because the computer at home didn't have CD-ROM

I've got it now tho, but somehow I've managed to lose it. Can't find it anywhere...

Anyway, I've played all NFS games since. My favorite (as I've said a few times) is without a doubt NFS Porsche.

TNFSSE was the first game I ever bought with my money, the year 1996 I beleive it was

Unfortunatly I sold it to a friend later (something I'll regret forever).

I remember getting the very first NFS when it came out, very cool game with realism at heart. I then got an N64 and didn't play the series again until 3 or 4 which I quickly fell in love with again. I really liked the music in them up to the 5th one and the music fell downhill from there is the feeling by many. I recently bought the original Need for Speed on PC from eBay so that will be cool to have since there's not that many copies of that first game still around.

I first played NFS 3: Hot Pursuit. I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

I think the first one i played was NFS2.
I first played a couple of times on my friends pc and later on borrowed it when i got my own pc.
It was nice but got a bit boring after a while.

I've been with NFS from the absolute beginning, just like Tekken, Gran Turismo, and a few others

Now the first NFS was absolutely great

I started with Hot Pursuit, but what really got me into this series is Porsche Unleashed. Hot Pursuit 2 was and still is my favorite (its been installed on my active pc since it came out). And then EA brought out Underground. I was blown away.. it was revolutionary for me. Underground2 was an experiment of many new things by EA and they got mixed reviews on them. I played that 4 times over and loved it. So yes, I'm a big fan of the series and can't wait to get my hands on MW.. I think if MW lives to its expectations, I'll finally be able to uninstall Hot Pursuit 2 from my pc!

StreekG · Post by **StreekG** » 18 Nov 2005, 05:48

My first was the very first Need for Speed, i had a huge addiction to Need for Speed 2 Special Edition when that was out, same with Hot Pursuit, i never really played Porsche Unleashed or Highstakes, when HP2 came out there was another addiction, so much so i bought it on both Gamecube and PC... Then the Underground series which i played both games countless times, and now awaiting Most Wanted, which could be the best yet

Cargozer · Post by **Cargozer** » 18 Nov 2005, 10:14

I started with NFS1, Then played NFS2 and the next NFS i played after 2 was Underground1 and then U2, (Now MW), so it was a huge step to my NFS experience.

God i remember it was such a fun at NFS1 to run off the cops and it had a cop radar with 5 squares, when all squares were full a cop were close and then it was time for chasedown! :O If you got busted it had a still picture of a police giving you a traffic ticket.
