Road Rash was rather good also

Wouldn't mind trying to get hold of a 3DO in the new year.

just google for a 3do emulator or go here to for emulation software for virtually anything, you can get all the game roms here also

So to finish off the NFS series they need to work for the next couple of years on making NFS Most Wanted Underground

ULTIMATE Retro Thread!!

ignore this mistake

shames, but its their own faults for making them crapper and crapper, hopefully another company will get it and make a mw2 or underground3.

which is the best to get guys?

i think NFSU2 was the last one I bought

 

[Ogs]

Most Wanted was my all time favourite.

 

[MooMoo444]

Need for Speed: Hot Persuit on the PS1 was awesome

 

[peterattheboro]

Fantastic news.

NFSU/U2 were the daddies imo.

They won't be able to better them (It's very very possible though) so it's best they don't try.

I all nfs most wanted is a my favorite game.carbon is good one and latest need for speed game is undercover I have not plaid it..

 

[dirtydog]

I like NFS

+1

I am surprised they might be dropping the franchise. Surely the value of the name is too high for them to do that. I think if they make another *good* NFS game then it will sell well. If they make garbage like Undercover, and limit lifetime PC installations to five, what do they expect but poor reviews and sales.

Ill be very surprised if they just dont have a hiatus and come back in a couple of years with another NFS game - probably want to break the cycle of 'Is this years NFS as good as last years?' and I suspect quite a few people for curiositys sake would buy it solely to see what theyve done after the break.

Pretty much what happened to TR...

Burnout 4TW

 

[Skully]

Porsche 2000 is the best.

 

[Amnesia]

yeah with burnout coming to the pc...nfs would have had an even harder time.
nfs doesnt even really have any competition and its still failed....ea need to sack all those who didnt work on most wanted

Hot Pursuit 2 was the last one they released that I enjoyed but my favourite has to be Porsche Unleashed, the evolution mode was simply great.

 

[dirtydog]

Does anyone know if it's possible to get Porsche Unleashed working in XP on an nvidia card, without the ugly blocky textures?

 

[WesleyBurns]

Underground 2 was the best. they should just stick to that formula and loose the cheese storelines trying to carry the game.

I played through it again a few years back on XP, I don't remember the textures being especially poor (at least not the car textures). However I did have a problem whereby I couldn't select my chosen resolution, because the game only gives you a choice of something like 22 graphics modes, and because it lists the 16bit modes first, there wasn't enough room to fit in the high-res 32bit modes. Even so I still perservered and played in 800x600 or something silly, as IMO it's the best driving game ever.

Regarding the decision to can the NFS series (if that has indeed happened), I can't help but wonder if this is linked to the fact that the EA Blackbox studio is being scaled down and relocated (should be back up and running mid-2009). A few weeks ago EA announced a patch for Undercover was in the works, but I'm very sceptical about whether that will actually see the light of day now.

I sell you my one. Great condition with road rash and many other games if you make me a reasonable offer
