- Why is Need for Speed 2015 STILL Loved today in 2024? Why do I still find myself playing Need for Speed 2015 nearly 8 years later in 2024?
🔴 I beat Need for Speed Underground in 2024 with the WORST CAR! • I beat Need for Speed ...
In this retrospective video, I will be looking back at the aspects that people will remember about Need for Speed 2015. Either good or bad. And need for Speed 2015 had plenty of both!
When the Need for Speed 2015 teaser trailer dropped in May 2015, It felt like a dream. It had been so long since we got an Underground style Need for Speed Game. Need for Speed 2015 is unbeaten in terms of atmosphere. Especially when it comes to later games in the NFS series. Even Need for Speed Unbound doesn't hold a candle to the atmosphere that Ghost Games built in Need for Speed 2015. Ventura bay is also a near perfect map! With Canyon roads to inner city tight streets, there's a lot to like in Need for Speed 2015's Map!
When it came to AI and physics, Need for Speed 2015 def lacked. However other aspects of the game were controversial! Such as the Customization and Car list, where many felt there should or could of been more variety. And while later games in the Need for Speed Franchise would improve on all of these aspects, the nostalgia, along with the unrivaled atmosphere and fantastic open world, as well as community projects such as Project Unit, Keep me coming back to Ventura Bay and Need for Speed 2015. Even in 2023. #needforspeed #nfs

🔴 I beat Need for Speed Underground in 2024 with the WORST CAR! ruclips.net/video/OKwrJu5YmWI/видео.html
i still dont understand why the graphics in 2015 are more photo realistic than the last 3 games on console
Same
Unbound has insane photo realistic graphics
Because they use alot of noise in the graphics
@@10MinutesofGameplayin my opinion they were quite clever with the art style to make the game look good
It ain't photorealistic. It's nicely crafted to look cinematic and it delivers.
Really wish this game had an offline mode. When I first learned it was always-online, I was absolutely furious, and thus refused to buy or play it, and this still remains the case, always-online=no buy, no exceptions. We already have plenty of examples of games that can't be played anymore because they required an always-online connection, and another is joining the list soon, Battlefield 1943. Shame they probably won't ever patch this, the only hope is the community cracks the DRM like they did Need for Speed World. It looks fun, but the always-online DRM is a dealbreaker, and decades from now videos like this will be all there is, while people will still be able to play Underground no matter how much time passes.
I thought the same but the deluxe version was 3 euros on steam so I bought it anyway and I don't regret it
I love this game! Its not perfect, I know, but man driving at night while raining and watching those high quality (graphically) live action cutscenes (even if they're cringy) were such a vibe!
Now THIS is a marvelous video. I agree 100% I love NFS 2015. The vibe, cutscenes, customization, map, wrap editor, all were spectacular. I didn't like the cop AI, or the vehicle physics, but at the end of the day, I see this game as definitely good with sooo much untapped potential. It just sucks that the servers will one day shut down, and I would never play it on my PS4.
Thanks for the kind words! :)
I dont think they will shut it down. They will probably stay with this or they will give nfs 2015 a update so you dont need online! And if it would be shut down then it would probably take 10 years
@@VyltaxI still go back to underground 2 sometimes 19 years later, I really hope 2015 remains playable
@@bobmarley6306 me to man!
Yeah, the cops AI is not that good unlike in NFS most wanted 1st version. But still the game is just AMAZING!!!
I had so many fond memories of this game and the people I discovered when everyone was excited for it. It has it's problems, but I still enjoy. Granted the Unite mod has made the game what it should've been and honestly it's made the game feel more and more replayable imo. 2015 holds a special place in my heart.
Looking at Payback, Heat, and Unbound one thing that makes 2015 enjoyable for me is the map, but more importantly, Ghost did a really good job with the course layouts making the events feel more replayable. I really wished that we got a solid AI to complete the package.
Though I love Unite. But latest version really messed up drifting
My favorite part of 15 is how alive it feels. I like seeing the characters from the story driving around the city as if they have a life outside of me
I think that the community had a lot of optimism at that time so maybe thats why that period is remembered kinda fondly but everything got back to trolldespair when payback released.
That is true. Ghost was new and this was their first game so there was a lot of goodwill within the community at the time.
The moment I fell in love with this game was when I bought a Huracan, put elite upgrades and the GT3 body kit on it, and heard that beautiful V10 roar as it left the garage.
The Car sounds were also grreat!
For me i think the best thing about nfs 2015 is the night setting blending up with the graphics it looks realistic and the driver protagonist gets a cool conclusion to his story
Aye bruh I been obsessed with 2015 recently and you helped me make that obsession even worse with that permadeath play through idea 😂, keep up the good work with the content man
My Fav NFS Games
High Stakes PS1
Underground 2
MW 2005
CARBON
AND This Game
Def top 5 for me
It was technically underground for a new age however for some reason the fan base don't want to recognize it as the next underground.
Dammit I miss this, I always really liked the whole handheld, on the ground feel this game had, it really made it feel in tune with car culture, I kinda just want this again.. but better, a bigger map, better AI, ya know, map wise, I think they did great, it really nailed the LA at night vibe, I just think they should've had a downtown and some more suburbs, there's some nice fan made concept maps out there that would've been cool, they should've just stuck with this for a while longer imo. Oh also, I always liked the UI and guages in 2015 a lot, really adds to the immersion, and the map menu style, just throwing that in there.
Hopefully we get a good, proper successor to this someday, I'm glad that this game was and is around though, since my dad died around the start of 2015, so games like this helped a ton, I think he would've loved it.
I wonder if this game will die on consoles when they shut down the servers, or maybe they'll update it with an offline mode patch when that time comes.
I really enjoyed this! Would love to see one of these for MW 2012? Also would love to see an update of your NFS collection?
Love your video bro keep up the good work my dude and your always be the best
Thx man! 😊
I love how you can still interact with pther players online. Love it. The customisation as well it lacks them underground 2 but still extremely creative the stickers too ahaha ❤
I'll never forget the lead up to this game being released. Great video!
Thanks man!
I love nfs 2015 it has been my fav out of the bunch since it came out
I've played all four Ghost NFS games back-to-back with my EA Play subscribtion, there's really nothing that could leave a stronger impression than 2015's soothing LA street lights and silly but realistic cutscenes. There's really no nostalgia goggles speaking here when I've missed out two console generations until recently when I had a new PC to play these games
I still love this game so much, this and forza motorsport 4, horizon 1 as well. I was a huge forza guy and a work friend recommended this game to me, played it for like an hour and hated it then i picked it back up in 2019 and realized how amazing the game really is, the car roster couldve been a bit better but each car feels quote unique and the engine/turbo sounds are unmatched
having Toyota in this game sure does give this game some justification it deserves, which is hardly surpising considering Toyota's attitude towards racing games that's isn't Gran Turismo these days
Wish newer nfs games had Toyota :(
I like the live action cut scenes of 2015 and the it seemed more realistic it reminded me a little bit of most wanted and carbon
Things 2015 did wrong: Always online requirement, drift physics, Cop AI.
Things 2015 did right: Everything else.
Drift physics weren't bad. Skill issue indeed fucker.
Love what you said about adding immersion too. Ive never done the perma death but i always forfeit a race and usually move onto a different car - if i get crash camera'd. Ill also change up paint and vinyl side graphic if i get into a long heated police chase. Definiely adds tension when you up the stakes like that. I so wish there were pink slip races in this game
i have put over 400 hours into NFS 2015 and that is for one reason and one reason only. all i have ever wanted in all these years was underground 3 and this is as good as im going to get so i will play and replay this game more then likely for years to come its just that good
haha you're not alone brother. underground and most wanted is all we want and tbh its just a matter of time. they're releasing the new pimped out mw this year , so the real underground games should come back too
I've never played it, but underground 1 was my favourite NFS. Out if the new ones, which is worth playing most?
They're all on sale atm, wondering which I should get.
@@snoweh1 Well my opinion is pretty obvious but it would depend on what you want from the game if police chases are what you are looking for get NFS heat. if like me casual street racing hanging out with your group of friends and customizing your car is your thing NFS 2015 is your jam
if having multiple cars each built for different surface's a story that takes itself seriously is your thing then pay back is your game at least that is my call on it
@@BackoftheL Don't care about police chases, story, or different surfaces, so sounds like 2015 might be for me. Thanks.
Where does Unbound fit into all of this?
@@snoweh1 its a different beast all unto itself made by a different developer in my opinion cheesy story crappy visual affects i personally dont think its worth your time
I was in mid school when 2015 came out and it’s how I learned that there was a ps4 because I had been playing ps3 games for a long time
I played this game at the beggining of the year and absolutely loved It. I have to agree that the gameplay is not the most sophisticated, but the immersion in the underground street racing scene was unmatched by any other racing game
oh yeah i remember the first time when i watched it , i was super excited , also i think there was a post of them saying the new era and new reboot was about to begin , this one is the 5th era if I'm right
I wanna play this again SO badly but my PS5 says the servers are down??? I can play it on my Xbox One for some reason but I really really wanna play on PS5 cause I'm so close to the platinum trophy. Has anyone been able to figure out how to play this game on Playstation in 2023????
My only gripe with 2015 is only two things.
Always online and everysingle car shifting like they have dual clutch gearbox. The game itself is rock solid, though.
I forgot that on launch there wasn't any manual transmission either.
Simple just let off throttle then shift? It's not hard to make it feel Manuall w clutch
This game needs more cars ngl
hey, i just bought nfs 2015 cuz it looked cool, is it too late to get grinding?
I really wish it wasn't online only because it always disconnects this is the only game that does that
Agreed. This actually happened to me last night lol.
This is my Dream nfs game because of graphics
Game still looks better than Unbound
agree, NFS 2015 I guess has the best graphic among all NFS series including Unbound. Also the physics just rocks especially the driftin gpart when camera shows the side tires. This feature just killing, no any other nfs has that joy ) @@CraptasticJack
I recently saw a guy rank this game as one of the worst and I keep thinking about it like every other day lmao. I loved this game.
I agree this NFS is the staple in the entire series. It gave NFS Underground, Mosted Wanted, and Carbon vibes all at once. I think if they fix the things like you mentioned your video and then bring back the storylines from previous titles before this back into the next one would be super cool. Honestly I feel they should bring back the racing styles from Underground, MW, Carbon, and Pro Street for one last time just for us 25+ year old crowd just to see where the community sits.
The atmosphere and graphics are simply amazing
I just like it because the atmosphere reminds me of underground 2
I remember the hype for this game was crazy
Does this game have online trophies? Do you need other players to obtain the platinum?
I want to play this game , but I have to purchase this , and if my parents will see me gaming I am dead especially when I spent money on games 😭😭
I never understood why they didnt call it NFS Underground 3. That way it would have sold a lot more
Buddy i want to play this game in 2023 but can i race co-op?
First! W video. Gg.
its almost been 10 years
I bought the game way back when in 2015 and here I am back in 2024 buying the game again. This time im buying it for nostalgia and because Ken Block has a Cameo
This game is turning 10 and still passing the car culture vibes!
Bro i found many Bugs on it .. I installed it today, It has controller bugs, Texture dissappearing Bugs..etc
If only the drift detection/automation was fixed, it would have been a very enjoyable arcade experiencie all around.
I loved this game idk why but its just one of those games i feel comfort playing
I still feel sad to this day on the lost potential of this game.
I think EA should definitely do an anniversary update of the series on this game even if it's not the current one. It deserves that.
I really enjoyed this game even if cops were ridiculous, but douing burnout in front of cop to get their attention was really cool detail. I haven't spend so much time in any newer NFS game tho. If HEat would focus on night mode then I'd probably call it best NFS
2015 games were just amazing.
Batman Arkham Knight
Need For Speed 2015
What else? I don't know any other 2015 games since these were the only two I have played from that time.
Oh yeah also Call of Duty Black Ops III was pretty alright plus visually some of the maps looked amazing in both zombies and multiplayer.
The Witcher 3.
Just Cause 3
A lot of threes here
If Valve counts to three then Portal 3 would be the best Portal game ever made
Sliding through the canyons, hitting max speed on the freeway and playing with cops (although they suck, at least they indestructible, also more damage = more money after escaping).
good times.
I literally replayed the game already 2 times just THIS year 😂 and I’m probably gonna start the third playthrough in 2023 in a couple of days 😂
If the handling and the cops were better i would agree it's the best new gen NFS
I like the story and graphics, and I also like that its in my city.
I still have this game installed on my Xbox
Same! Never Uninstalling it
@@CraptasticJack I’m not because I go back sometimes for a little nostalgia run.
@@CraptasticJackwe should organise a meet in the game
i really wish they release an offline patch for it's 10 year anniversary and add some fixes like the handling and AI i know this is a lot to ask but at least the offline patch to preserve the game would be nice.
The Vibe is right
Amazing is my favorite game for my PS5!!😊🎉❤
2015 is really divisive for me. Some of my first memories with this game were literally me being frustrated I couldn’t play the game. Just to make it clear I had very bad, very unstable internet connection back then. So bad I was literally arguing with my dad that we needed better internet and he was basically telling “it fine, stop being a brat”. Couple this with bad physics and me having a lack of understanding with tuning. It was probably one the worst experiences with a nfs I’ve had(not exaggerating).
Even then though it sort of revived my interest in the series. Like you said the immersion and atmosphere was good. It was cringy for sure but that’s the point right. You’re going to be uncomfortable if you were actually living out those moments. They did a good job as much as people shit on it.
Up till 2015 I wasn’t really heavy into customization. Since that wasn’t where the series was during the PS3 era and I was a big fan of hot pursuit. During the PS2 era I was more about it but nothing like now. Now I spend hundreds of hours just racing(making money) and customizing cars. So it tough saying 2015 is totally trash when it’s the soul reason the series is where it’s at and can spend my time how I do.
In more recent years I’ve gotten more jaded and frustrated with the series and apart of it is because of 2015. Just the amount of progress they made from rivals to 2015 while still trying to get there feet planted was crazy tbh. Compare that kind of progress to now and the series feels weirdly stagnant. Stagnant isn’t the right word it’s more like it’s always touch and go. We gain new content and features but we lose quite a bit too. I don’t know where I’m going with this…
I guess that despite the down sides I sort of respect 2015 because the series wouldn’t be what it is without it. Even if the series has kinda lost it’s way, the core is still there.
Agreed 2015s always online sucked back in the day
@@CraptasticJack Always online just sucks for games like nfs. Especially if you paid money for the game. Back then it especially sucked since 2015 was quite literally my only game when I got my PS4 initially.
Now it also lumes over me that 2015s servers will shut down one day making it unplayable(at least until someone decides to create an alternative to get the game running). Tbh that’s apart of the reason why I don’t play 2015 much. It just feels wasted if I continue playing it. Which isn’t right, I think it should be looked at more as being a friend you spend time with until they’re really gone. You know with a friend you don’t just cut them out your life bitter, you’re supposed make the most of it right?
Maybe I’m being pretty vague…
again 2015 is divisive. Some of my first memories with it were the worst but some my last have been some of the best.
bro awesome vid agree on all but a suggestion. dont put ur face so big on the screen and especially not all over the video. like zoom in when making a big point and zoom back out again for example. will look much better. show more footage.
The memories❤
Man, I remember pre ordering this game as a kid and loving it. However, coming back to it as much as the atmosphere feels like a Blackbox Era NFS game, it aged like milk thanks to the poor physics engine, AI, it being always online, no separate customization like My Cars, and a Challenge Series. I could deal with less features but the physics and it being always online mainly was this games achellis heel especially for the Drift and Touge races.
The few things I dislike about NFS 2015 is: the fact it's all supposed to take place in 1 night or a very short time period, the fact it's always raining _(which I guess if it's one night, that makes sense),_ zero steering wheel support (which was nice cause everyone was on the same playing field but with it's looks, steering wheel would've been much more entertaining).
The real life cutscenes were, like always, trash but they were a nice addition. The rubberbanding was horrendous though.
Tbh I thought the live action cutscenes were kinda cringe a lot of times but other than that and how Much the game favors drift builds I love it
NFS 2015 was cool and one of the first games i got for my PS4.
it looked cool, car selection was nice, handling was...weird but i got adjusted to it. i think it had the action cam on by default, which i hated, but you could at least change it.
i liked the online high scores, always seeing if you beat your friends after a race.
had a shitty internet connection at that time, which made the always online requirement very obvious and felt very unnessary.
it ran at 30 FPS which is a huge downside for racing games in my opinion.
i don't remember the story at all, but i remember i got the lamborghini aventador pretty early and after some upgrades, any race wasn't even a challenge. it was even great for the drift events.
nothing like what made me love underground 2, constantly trying different cars and upgrading multiple at a time for different race types.
this game was far from perfect, but looking back at it - it was a promising reboot and i didn't expect the following titles to keep the bad stuff and become even worse in other aspects, like gambling for upgrades in payback. didn't even bother to try heat or unbound and i don't feel like i missed anything
Heard black kray and had to like the video ☠️
😤😤
I play it right now just because of the prestige list. Never hated a game so much like this befor.
Ununderstantible drift phiscs with a great taste of magicle oversterring.
Entering in to a drift by pressing gas + break is like flipping a coin.
Bro the police charger is thrilled to kill me
This man is valid
Thx!
the graphics of the game when it was launched almost 8yrs ago was somewhat like not for that era and up until now the graphics of NFS 2015 is much better than NFS unbound (in my opinion).
I am glad that I would still be able to play it on PS5.
It looked awesome and it was pretty drift focused in my opinion. That's what made by far the most fun.
And don't call that 2021 piece of trash " a new Most Wanted", because it was NOWHERE NEAR what people want or wanted. 😭
High speed driving in 2015 is phenomenal
How do i play it i can't find it anywhere??????
It's on the PSN and Xbox Stores. Along with Steam.
@@CraptasticJack ok thanks
2:49 NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT, THINK ABOUT IT..... Rivals is a next gen HOT pursuit, 2015 IS a next gen underground , HEAT is a next gen Most wanted (the emphasis on cop chases and balancing that with racing is more in line with MW's design philosophy than a simple blacklist). in a lot of ways the biggest set back this franchise ever experienced the last gen was the INSANE expectations and constant dismissal from fans. Rivals 10 years later has only started to be appreciated more for what its doing VS how people viewed it back in 2013
Bleugh games just fucking suck now that's it. I don't think it's really that deep either the latter games just tried to mix too many ideas without having a theme and 2015 was probably the only game close to an identity.
why loved 1 i own it on steam
2 i play it with a race wheel what makes drifting verry easy and fun
3 the drifting the action the story everything is good about this game
Watched this video. Downloaded nfs2015 again. Fuuu i love this game
Why don't I know this NFS?
I agree that this game is rad
It's just unfortunate that it's not crossplay
best NFS since the goat era until now
i realy like the grafics in that game but i hated that i couln't use my G25 Steering wheel in that game
This game was oozing in style!!! I decided to redownload it for the nostalgia and the physics slapped me square in the face. Yuck. ( I am yet to try the brawltendo mod...I haven't given up on this game yet)
My favorite nfs but sadly I got a ps5 and it doesn't work that good on that so I got unbound..
black kray in the intro🔥🔥🔥
Yes Sirr!
Major respect, you said everything the way i was bro. This game was and is the best modern N4S. Unbound is a troll game, they used the same police sounds as 2015, the broken speedometer is the same as 2015. Criterion is a 🤡 they copy and pasted a lot from 2015 and degraded the graphics for cartoon bs. 2015>unbound
best need for speed after underground2 , they were on the right track but lack of real world racing. I loved it because this is what need for speed is ....awesome street racing with customs, good music and mad adrenaline.
Agreed! Just needed better AI and handling.
As somone who grew up with underground 1,2, carbon and the real most wanted (2005) i actully like this game, dont much like the newer ones.
Because they actually got the multi-player right, AT LAUNCH
Tbh the netcode was terrible lol.
NFS heat is probably the best one since most wanted
Get the Subaru. Very versatile at middle tuning.
Too bad the new EA launcher doesnt let me install mods :/
There is a workaround on the project unite discord
Bro, what the he|| is a "fever dream?"
I just wish this game had a campaign. . WTF The best NFS game since MW yet it's fucked up by not having a campaign!
People love it because of nostalgia and the current nfs games are underwhelming for others but at the time nfs 2015 was released it is the most hated next gen need for speed because of bugs and goofy car handling
eyo u can tell me what u want what ever if u dont like payback ok buut payback definitely had the best map in a nfs ever the offroad was closed up in the mountains and canyons and the city oah i loved it u could drift sooo cool through some times up to 3 layers of roads. man i wished they would bring a map like this back
I think it's a decent game the drifting is easy and makes my little lizard brain happy the music is decent background music and the alternative suck for reason like payback in general and heats progression is boring and tried to explain the levels and unbound make me feel like I did lsd and played heat and 2015s money system is set up for multiple cars unlike heat
