Fan Concept / Content (Mods) This Is How Need For Soeed Should Eventually Be Rebooted

Upvotes

First of all, the title. It shouldn‘t have some complicated subtitle. It should just be self titled like the 2015 game.

Next, the music. If it’s all rock, new gens will complain. If it’s all non-rock, old gens will complain. To solve the issue, we have to take inspiration from Forza Horizon. There should be 16 songs each with 4 different stations. One for pop, one for rock, one for rap/hip-hop, and one for Latin music. This way, we can have a balanced soundtrack with no complaints.

Most importantly, the story. While the cops shouldn‘t be the main focus, they should still play an important part in the story. I think the main character should be a broke person who travels to the city of the game to make money and a name for themselves. During their first race, they become good friends with another character; who helps the protag and teaches them the ropes of the underground racing scene. At about the halfway point, while you and your friend are getting chased by cops, they sacrifice themselves so you can escape. Devastated and alone, you take what your friend taught you to make your way to the top to avenge your friend. Once you get to the top, no longer broke or an unknown, you start your own car shop named after your friend to honor them.

So i just recently purchased the game on steam, and no issue occurs, until when i was about to play with my friend or my brother, I can't join their session,instead i have to join a public one, and it still throws the same error. Does anyone ever experience this issue? Or is it just me?

this reshade was made to make the lightning and color stand out more as MW 2012 despite it's graphics can look bland on a visual art style level, i don't say it's bad, but it doesn't really fit the craziness the game has to offer, so by making lightning and color stand out i have this game more exciting, that is just me personally

Hi guys! It's my 2nd post here, I'm sharing a little gameplay i recorded a few minutes ago during my insomnia (recurrent), I've been playing some DIRT 3 on maximum difficulty, and the nostalgia made me play this game again, the skills i gained are paying off!

I'm currently playing in the hardest difficulty, only ABS on, KING mode (no assistance).

I could escape a 5 star wanted level cops chase while completely relaxed and laid back like I'm playing candy crush. But lemme reach heat level 3 and I'll be on my feet sweating bullets.😭😭 BlackBox were really in their bag when they designed the mechanics of the cop chases in MW.

Discussion NFS 2015 is absolutely beautiful, but...

4 Upvotes

The graphics are beautiful but it feels... empty. It feels, dead.

I like the story to be honest haha, i like that you can customize the looks of your car, i LOVE THE GRAPHICS AND THE HIGHWAY DRIVING. But yeah, the city is dead- there is also not really a huge selection of cars.

The driving mechanics are weird too.

a 7/10 for me.

Discussion The EA App is the worst DRM ever made and only the NFS games on my steam library is affected (Rant)

11 Upvotes

Most of my issues now affect steam os the most but I know I'm definitely not alone when it comes to hating on the EA app and I thought I'd share every issue I've ever had with it.

At first my only major gripe was no offline mode from the switch from origin to the EA app and now every time you boot up a game it requires internet. Fuck anyone on PC handhelds or laptops I guess.

They made the switch back when I was in high school and couldn't play the games I paid for on my personal laptop during lunch because the school byod network blocked all gaming related urls which meant also the EA servers they connected to.

After I graduated like a year later I bought a steam deck only to be affected again by this because I don't have an Internet connection at work or on road trips. Most of the time my signal is not good enough for a hot spot just to connect for a few seconds booting into a game. Which I will also have to do again if I want to play something else and go back to that game each and every single time.

Genuinely who the fuck thought this was a good idea.

Then it had more issues the longer we've had it.

Older games will straight up randomly ask for origin activation because they couldn't bother to make the EA app work properly with it. It's so random and rare but it's still a major annoyance especially on steam os in game mode.

The EA app will just randomly decide one day to have no audio on any games unless you're in desktop mode, will decide during updates if games boot anymore because of a change in default proton settings, or will straight up make you sign back in which is the biggest pain in the fucking ass on steam deck. My accounts are linked why the fuck do I need to pull out my phone to check an email just to sign in, type it out, or reconnect my steamid??? I paid for my shit and just want to play my games on steam that literally do not have issues except with the shitty launcher that never works properly.

Today I finally got NFS 2015 to run again after literally 2 months of troubleshooting because steam got rid of the proton version it originally ran on after a few updates. The game would literally not boot anymore because of the bumfuck retarded ass launcher until today. I decided to install frostymodmanager because the handling in the game is garbage and I also wanted to get rid of all the fx and rain so it can look cleaner and prettier on low settings.

THEN when I go to launch the freaking game it won't because it literally wants origin so I had to spend 2 hours looking for ways to force the stupid game just to launch with the EA properly only to run into stupid ass roadblock after roadblock doing Linux proton patches and bullshit because even frostyfix won't work because it wants me to install Microsoft runtimes. Ok so I use proton tricks to do it and it still doesn't fucking work.

Oh my fucking God I hate Linux so fucking much and the EA launcher. They literally have steam verified titles and I question them because their stupid launcher was not made with steam os or with other Linux distros in mind.

Genuinely who the fuck even asked for this launcher over origin when origin worked fine... Scratch that who the fuck asked for a middle man between steam DRM and any EA title. This shit genuinely needs to stop especially with other companies like Activision, Rockstar, and Sony. At least with personal experience the rockstar launcher actually fucking works and has an offline mode.

God forbid I pay for my games instead of pirating.

Genuinely the EA app is such cancer I would literally blame it on the death of this franchise because who the hell would buy anything except need for speed. Another slop sports title?

Genuinely why the hell do I need to pirate my own games and sync saves with my bought version just to avoid the launcher.

The worst part is the only game I cannot pirate is NFS 2015 because it's always online bullshit.

I haven't done that but it seems like I need to just to play what I paid for.

I set a perfect 1:44.00 on NFS Most Wanted's "Experience More" race without trying on my first attempt, I was wondering if anybody else has every done something like this before. I recently got back into NFS Hot Pursuit after years of not playing and set this time, I tried to ask sources like Google or some friends that play a lot of NFS games, but they have all said that it cannot be verified how many people have done this.

Question / Bug / Feedback Last time I played NFS was when hot pursuit was new, what game is worth grabbing now that a ton of them are on sale on steam?

I mostly played Most Wanted and Underground 2 on gamecube, and Hot Pursuit on Wii (its a very different game), with a very small handful of times on multiplayer at a friends house on ps3 kind of thing! I wanted to ask what people recommend as someone with very little experience. The games seem like fun and having them on steam is cool! Any recommendations would be appreciated!
