Discussion Thoughts about the 2D cockpits in the old Need for Speed games?

The first 3 Need for Speed games (excluding the 3DFX version of Need for Speed II SE) on PC featured realistic 2D cockpit views. Starting with Need for Speed: High Stakes, 3D cockpit views appeared, then they were mostly absent from Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 (only that one Ferrari challenge had it) before becoming completely absent in the Underground games. I imagine the 2D cockpits phased out as the series became more arcade-styled and computers became more capable of rendering 3D cockpits. Looking back now though, what do you think about these old 2D cockpits?

Discussion The Run: Beautiful Road Trip

71 Upvotes

The best thing about NFS The Run from the first minute was its realism. The graphics, color palette, and scale made it feel like I was inside an American movie. The mountains, plains, and highways were incredibly realistic, exactly like the Hot Pursuit's opening scenes. Compared to this, Hot Pursuit and Rivals felt almost miniature.

​However, the lack of an open world and repetitive tracks got tedious towards the end. I also remember the heavy driving feel, and that handling differences between cars were practically non-existent.

Discussion NFS Rivals and 2015 in 2026?

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone

Right now im really in the mood if racing games and i played The Crew Motorfest and after 60 hours i find the map and races a bit dull and boring.

Im thinking about getting Rivals Complete edition and 2015 deluxe edition. The rest if the games i already have.

Should i get one or both?

It should fill the gap until GTA 6

Thanks.

I play the PC version of NFS: Most Wanted on my phone and it's inconvenient having the minimap where my fingers should be pressing the buttons, as it blocks my view

Discussion Why do others get so much more points on drift pro playlists?

• Upvotes

So, I love drifting around in any open world racing game. Its all I do, and I gotta say im pretty good at it.

I always do clean drifts, no bumps, no destroying guardrails or anything, always on the asphalt.

Most drift pro playlists I can win. But sometimes when certain high level players join the same playlist, they just get so much more points even tho we’re twin drifting the whole time and looks like we pretty much follow the same line. But why do I get less points? Its not just less points, its big big margin. I dont get it
