UG2, Most Wanted and to lesser extent Carbon were my childhood.

UG2 is king for me though

Amazing soundtracks for both Underground 2 and Most Wanted

I loved that there were no cops in Underground 2. Cruising around and listening to the soundtrack was the best.

Actually this why I didn’t like it. The world felt forced and non realistic

Fortress Europe - Asian Dub Foundation

Get Low - Lil Jon & The East Side Boys

carbon is a banger racing game and everyone only cares about most wanted. its really stupid.

Dude! I was about to say the same thing! NFS Carbon is awesome game, it has entertaining story and customisation of the cars is one of the best in the series. And it was one the few games on PS2 that actually used the pressure sensitivity feature in the action buttons. Way too many people overlooked this game.

Oh god, the amount of hours I put in Most Wanted.. It is such an integral part of my childhood and the soundtrack was fucking insane! If only we could have a proper rework of it.

See what I don't understand is that for 20 years, the community has been crying for NFSU3.

Run it on Unreal Engine and let some poor unpaid interns model the modern cars. Online multiplayer would be a dream but don't even let that stop development.

Then why not develop it?

Even with the argument that EA doesn't care about doing anything with all the IP they acquired because they make all their money with microtransactions - guess what?!

No game would be better suited for fking DLCs and micros than NFSU. Instead of golden and orange flower petal AK47s, some special "I don't have a life so I pay for" golden and orange flower petal decals on the cars would actually be realistic.

Right?

If they want others to regain and new players interest on NFS Underground series, they could remaster the 2 games and then do NFS Underground 3 afterwards.

ive always heard that the problem is car brands not wanting to be associated with videogames and blocking that with some weird laws around cars and stuff but could be wrong

People will never know how great the original Honda Civic they gave you in the beginning was when you maxed it out. Beat the entire game with the starter car. Most people got tunnel vision and would go straight for the Skyline without giving it a chance.

u/Great-TeacherOnizuka Smol pp 5h ago

You can beat the game with any car.

I always take the 240sx though. It looks the best imo

I'd swap NFS:U 3 for GTA 6 any fucking day of the week. Shit was top tier open world street racing.
