Oh shit! That's like a joke!
@@taner873 believe it or not more than one people can come up with the same joke.
"This VIDEO contains spoilers"
Carbon is the only game to do "boss battles" in a racing game well. I remember the final boss of Underground 2 being one of the most boring things ever: an overly-long circuit race against a guy who isn't any faster than your average racer. Canyon battles are not long, they are intense and feel climactic, everything a boss should be.
NFS most wanted
@@MRsmilingSHARK debatable, the canyon races crush Most Wanted's boss battles any day
@@etam8099 agreed
@@MRsmilingSHARKmost wanted boss battles were the same circuit, sprint, and drag combos. On carbon, the canyon duel has a different thrill where it's just you and the boss. No traffic, risk of falling off, and tight corners.
@@saiftama And the music omg, I remember being terrified for the races in the canyon as a kid, the darkness, the risk, the music, the points, the face of the boss and the lack of speed breaker and NO2. I think Carbon is the only race game that can be considered as a suspense game too.
Most Wanted bosses were good, but they are not even close to the bosses on Carbon.
I remember playing multiplayer so much that I once had a race where this guy was like “oh shit, you’re #3 in the leaderboard” and I didn’t know what he meant until I checked the leaderboard a few days later to see that I was #3 in the leaderboard in the entire world! I was in awe as I was just a kid 😂 This is my unintentional claim to fame.
It has different leaderboards for different tracks. Most top 3 in the world was cheaters with 00.00.05 like results 🤣🤣🤣
@@everyday_andrey I see! I did play a very specific track very very well. Also at the time, the leaderboard chart I was looking at didn't have incredibly unrealistic results like that. Perhaps it's before the exploits.
I remember going to a gaming store where somz of friends are making a chalange of who can get most drift point and the one that was wininng got like 300k and i was like wtf i went in i got like 27million or something 😂😂 i know i had to go out more often
Too bad that I only started doing multiplayer a few months before the servers were shut down... Only me and a couple people I knew still played
Niiice. I was in the top 10 in a drift races i loved when i was 11. Carbon is a masterpiece
playing this as a child, nothing annoyed me more than finally completing a canyon drift and *not* winning the boss's car afterwards
That and the unique vinyls.
Haha autosave off go brr
@@boris001000 Yet it wasn't enough with only two markers, I wanted the car, the vinyl and the special aftermarket part haha, and you never get the R8 or the Evo, Murcielago and Challenger ;-; F
I got the murcialago super quick in carbon and cheese the game, literally just get ahead and slam brakes around the 3rd corner and pin him
Lmfao I remember this.
Tonight: James commits arson. Richard gets kidnapped by the Martian Mafia. And Raycevick blows my mind with his intros again.

Whitelight when are you going to do far cry 4 years later?
I love bo’om gear too
Can I just say I LOVE how you are a RUclipsr, that actively watching and comments on other folks videos!! I dunno why, but I just love it and I don't see it much!! Maybe it's just me!!
It's so weird seeing footage of this game now...I remember being so positive when it came out that this was clearly the peak of photorealistic graphics and nothing could EVER possibly top it
Same
then crysis came out 1 year later
@@WhatsY0UTUB3 yes.
I felt the same way. It was the most realistic racing game I'd ever played. The Gamecube version doesn't hold a candle to the Xbox version
I think Test Drive Unlimited is the better evidence
I finished this game AT LEAST 15 times, I roleplayed hard with the crew and car types, I made many crews with its own distinct colors and vinyls, each using different car types and companions. To be honest, I think the game was meant to play like this, with all those elements going together to make each playthrough somewhat unique. I think I'll reinstall, haha.
_Greetings_
need for speed double drop :)
A pleasure to have you here!
Man i just watched your video
Two need for speed reviews in one day this is a miracle
What’s duke nukem doing here?
Omg this Friday couldn't have been better. NFS II SE and NFS Carbon.
Need for Speed: Carbon was my first Need for Speed, definitely holds a special spot in my heart.
Are you guys 15 or something
Same, it taught me drifting
@@Kazikox Nope, I'm in my mid 20s, just never played NFS, was more of a burnout guy myself!
For me it's NFSU2. I even heard and saw great things from the first one (my cousins used to play it at their home but didn't let me) so I can greatly recommend both of them lol. All of my 3 dream cars are playable at least in the second one (RX7, 200SX, R34).
Sometimes I even hop into quick games to do some downhill drifting. It's got better drifting mechanics than 99% of car games out right now.
@@Doomeiner I remember playing underground on an arcade cabinet, that was a good time. Definitely felt like I missed out by not playing underground properly on a playstation or something.
May have to pick it up and do a bit of catch up!
NFS Carbon was the Closest thing to a Dark and Japanese based Need For Speed , That's why i prefer this over Underground and Most Wanted, Hell they even had the Hachi-Roku.
Underground 2 also has the HachiRoku tho
you couldn't contain it, you had to say Hachi-Roku, instead of being a normal human being and just calling it ae86.
@@sebastian89312 (regular car reviews voice) WEEABO! WEEABO WEEABOO WEEABOO! YOU JUST LIKE THIS CAR BECAUSE ITS FROM A CARTOON! A BOOOOORING CARTOON!!
Agreed
@@sebastian89312 there's two types of ae86 you idiot! a levin and a trueno! both are called the 86
Searched NFS Carbon on RUclips on a whim.
Was greeted with a spectacular hour long deep dive into the game I spent my childhood playing on my brothers and I’s crappy GameCube.
Seeing these cutscenes again gave me a hit of nostalgia I didn’t know I had in me. So thank you sir. Thank you for making a internet rando’s night.
"[...]firing on all cylinders"
*shows a Mazda RX8*
lol
🥚
Its LS swapped
firing on all triangles^^
Very good 👏
The soundtrack also changes depending on what type of car you have: Tuner, Muscle or Exotic. They all have their own versions of the base tracks
Id consider Carbon to be my favorite nfs and i had no idea, thats awesome
Well I never noticed because I prefer having 🔥🔥Eurobeat🔥🔥 blast my ear drums
Such a cool detail! I've used the muscle car theme as ringtone for a while at least twice
i loves tha fact that in UNDERGROUND2 you had to find the shops, it was actually fun and interactive as well as finding money or information icons
Yes! We should explore the open world, in the new series we start with a map full with icons, even fast travel is enable from the start, really boring
i don't mind not being able to jump into races outright, but fuck man going up n down jackson heights and navigating the industry section just to find a race turns the fun into a chore and makes me not want to play UG2
it wasn't fun at all
and still its the thing u remember, better than new era NFS, you finish storyline and its boring af in NFSU2 u had to grind etc to not fuck up the progress and thats just one of many things that made the game memorable@@piscessoedroen
I played nfs carbon after watching initial D. Can't tell you how much difference in my enjoyment this made. Heck I even learned drifting and started enjoying canyons, which I hated back when I was a kid. After finishing the career mode I spent many hours tuning and testing different cars in the drifting and canyon stages. Absolutely changed my opinion about the game!!!
Played it recently with a mod pack that included a corolla initial d decal and another mod that allows you to enable/disable drift physics on the fly and it's so fucking fun dude highly recommend you to back to experience this, the mod pack I used was called redux
Watch Fast Furious 3 (Tokyo one). That movie and Carbon mix is like modern day EA and laziness: you can't have one without the other.
Tokyo Extreme Racer Drift 2 on PS2 is Touge racing. With mapped out Japanese mountain passes.Its not an easy game to pick up and play if You want to drift but, with practice it becomes a lot of fun. You also don't have to drift, it's optional for the most part, despite the name. And the car selection is awesome if your into older Japanese cars.

F for your Father😢😢😢
may your father rest in peace.
@@rolexflex thanks homie
Bro buy a second memorycard copy the saves and put it in a Safe Place so eben when something Happens to the Card u will Never loose his saves .
Maybe do it 2 times then u can put the Original Card and the Backup in 2 different Save Places and the third Card u can use it to Drive against Ur Dads Ghost car (times he drove on Tracks) so u can still Play with him ♥️
I Kno how u feel, my pops loves nfs it's about the only driving game he can play. Can't really anymore. Screw cancer
"Who would have the motivation to... Darius.", liked that bit :D As a kid I always felt that the storylines of MW and Carbon were criminally underdeveloped, because I liked them. I was 9 when Carbon released and characters like Darius and Niki were THE definition of coolness to me and it was frustrating that so little about a story is actually said. Always wished for something like a comic/book to elaborate on the story :/
From what I can tell, you replayed this on PC and yes, the drift events on there are the easiest thing ever. I don't know whether it's intentional or a bug, but you rack up score way higher in this version than on the others (at a guess I think it's probably bound to your framerate)
True, I play the PC and PS2 version back to back and the PS2 version is a lot more challenging
You know for a game that's *15 years old* it looks astonishing.
never felt like it was that old, did it?
still the best nfs game, at least miles better than Most Overrated
They really focused on the graphics of the car, but the surroundings did lack visual quality, though still good for the time. I think it was a great choice to do this as you're just blurring past the surroundings anyway and anyone playing a NFS game at that time was very interested in car customization. All that said, its still my favorite NFS
@@Jeyeyeyey I will forever take Carbon over mostwanted
Seriously, I remember being a kid and playing this game for the first time and thinking there was NO WAY graphics could ever improve. Amazing menu music too
"Are you a murderer on the Game Boy Advance?
Yes. Yes you are."
This line was so beautiful god damn
And it hit me more because I grew up with that port, and I remember that scene.
Pointing out NFS’s approach to tuning is completely spot on, I almost never touch tuning in most games besides a couple values here and there, whereas in NFS I easily change every value in a car to fit my play style
I just realised that the video is shadow banned. I legit copied the title and it wasnt showing up in search results. Is it just me or others have that problem?
Huh, I got that too. Super weird. Im going to look it up later when I get home
Yup it doesn't show up for me either unless I connect to a VPN
@@Raycevick doing it for me too
Yep it's a problem
"Are you a murderer also in Game Boy Advance?" "YES. YES YOU ARE"
Fucking ded. And they thought Rivals' edgelord storyline was bad.
God Rivals story makes me cringe
Newton's third law states for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Now race boi
Blah blah stockholm syndrome blah blah riots and shit blah blah now go out and race
There's even a Story? I only see bad recycled Most Wanted 2012 with HP2010 features.
I want to be devil's advocate and say Rivals cop story is one of the best in the franchise.
*SPOILER*
You have a cop, bit of an edgelord yeah, but it shows that taking down streetracer is not just a duty for him, its' an ideal. All the time he play for the side of the law, he didn't realize his hypocrisy. Dangerous takedown in middle of traffic, even taking a racer car just to have a disguise to do more clubbing (some even argue that he did so just to get Vehicle Response Team to come, so that he can join their rank for better cars and recognition - which ngl would make a pretty good arc if this is a movie series). But in the final race with Zephyr, it broke all his limits, his hypocrisy. Only in his near death experience, that he realised without his badge, he isn't much more than a speed freak with violent temper. So in the end he only focus on what really matters: the need for speed. If it takes the best ex-streetracer to be cop, then it would take the best cop to be streetracer.
When you compare it with the run-of-the-mill 'I want to be the very best' formula of majority of other NFSs, it is something different. It's just the way it was presented might felt lacking, and if you don't have an imaginative mind to really delve into it what amounted to a slideshow of monologs, it just felt flat. The lacklusting gameplay didn't help either. If this is made into a 1-season tv series though, with all the details fleshed out, probably more people can get behind the story.

*that dead stare*
Carbons soundtrack is straight fire honestly
Carbon was my first NFS and I love it
Same. No other NFS has done it for me.
I have a soft spot for the rock and rap mix that was in Most Wanted since it all meshed so well, but Carbon has so many great tracks and the vibe fits the game perfectly. In my opinion both game soundtracks fit thematically, and both go hard as fuck lol
@@ds90seph yes mate I agree. Carbons soundtrack is pure vibes and full of bangers. NFS needs to take a page from them in the future
carbon had an extremely distinct soundtrack, prob because it was alot of genres most ppl didnt listen to in the mid 00s, like trip hop, real electronica not "edm" but actual synthy electronica, uk punk and rock, very very different songs youd normally hear at that point
speaking of the game feeling shorter than it is. This video is so incredibly well paced and structured that it only feels 10 minutes long
I can remember playing that game with my older sister when I was in second grade, she was used to pimp my cars and I drove them haha awesome memories. Now we are in our 20s. It's so sad that such awesome games don't publish anymore.
When i was a kid, the canyon duel theme scares the heck out of me
Same
I quite enjoyed it when i was a kid, it's strange what scares some kids while it doesn't scare others
The OG music in the Canyon's is fucking terrifying to even listening to when going over 160KM/H... You never will know that you might slip and fall to your death!
I liked it
Your parents raised you gay
EA doesn't understand anymore that the music sets the mood of the game.
The track list in old NFS games were the best. Metal, Hip Hop, and immersive/scary techno set one hell of a memorable mood. It makes the game way more enjoyable, you can feel the adrenaline with powerful songs.
The latest NFS games have very soft songs which makes the games way less enjoyable...
EDIT: If you guys played NFS Hot Pursuit REMASTERED recently, tell the truth. The music in that game makes the the game feel SO FAST and Captivating with the ever ending roar of the engines and that frigging.... (pause) TURBO 🚗💨 🚓even though the cars have no mods other than the paint, the game is SUPER enjoyable.
I really want to like Heat, but the lackluster soundtrack ruins it so bad.
@@Hoonters-goona-Hoont The sad part is that the game is actually great, but like you said, it lacks a soundtrack list that captivates the audience
@@Hoonters-goona-Hoont Couldn't agree more.
while i can understand that Ghost Games were going for songs that fit the vibe of Miami but at the same time they forgot the importance of having tracks that fit the action on screen. For example, Reggaeton and Trap would have been better for free roaming and during the downtime at the Garage instead of accompanying races at all times. The lack of variety is criminal. Hard Rock, Metal and Synthwave would have fit the action perfectly during the Night cycle as i try to escape the cops at Level 5.
On a side note, i made 2 separate playlists for my ''Alternative Soundtrack'' to NFS Heat featuring styles of music based from the time cycles. For instance, i added House, Synthpop and Indie Rock for the Day Cycle whereas for the Night Cycle i focused primarily on Post Hardcore, Synthwave, Electronic, Metal and Hard Rock.
Check them out and give me your thoughts.
Day cycle: open.spotify.com/playlist/3wUuIyMCEf0E2c6Jf9vojx?si=33fa6c8d603a469c
Night cycle: open.spotify.com/playlist/1i7G5fe4IyxiWchhce2hR6?si=a7aa1f68d94f4454
Forza does the same. Horizon 4's radio selection is horrendous
Racing game music is a lost art, I tell you
@@Hoonters-goona-Hoont it's stupid how EA has so much money to license music, and yet the entire heat soundtrack is made up of deep album cuts. not to mention it's so short, you hear the entire tracklist within the first hour of gameplay.
41:00 immediately gave me chills of nostalgia.. fond memories of playing this game for many many hours and i still play sometimes.. probably my most favorite childhood games
The amount of times I restarted the story mode in this game as a child was unbelievable. Still remember those days like yesterday. I would gladly pay for an remastered version of this game.
YESSSSSS YOU TALKED ABOUT NEED FOR SPEED CARBON PSP’S INSANE TWIST LMAOOOOO
This was my first PSP game and holy shit - I was about 12 and my dads name is Michael/mick, and he had a similar face/long hair as the game character so obviously being a kid I was like "I will avenge me fathers death!".
Let me tell you man I was not ready when I realized I'd murdered my father and stolen his his gf lmao
@@peterlawrence5114 I just read this. My god, I’m laughing so hard.
_"The quality of those hours... Is what matters"_
I remember in my hometown where I go to this Game cafe and everyone is an Underground 2 junkie, I get talked shit for being bad at drag race (or the game in general)... Then carbon came and after spending three hours of winning races and defending turfs with the Dodge charger I pinkslipped from Angie, I got Kenji to fall off the cliff. My timer was up and I got up to see the audience that piled up behind my seat...
Underground wasn't my game... Carbon is where I reign the streets.
Edit: and the canyons
Same thing happened to me with MW. Everyone was tuning their rides with Underground 2's massive options but then most struggled to evade a spike strip on MW. A game cafe that used to run on the basement of an old supermarket in my city actually set up a contest to beat the final 30-minute chase challenge in MW. I did it with overtime, 37 minutes and a few seconds. I got a weekend of free plays and about 10 bucks in cash for it, but it felt incredible. All the other competitors lasted between 10 and 15 minutes
I played Carbon as a kid on the Gamecube that my dad and I basically shared. I went back recently when I got a PC and played it again and it seems even better than I remember (granted it helps that I'm WAY better at racing games now.) I never even knew the AI _could_ fall off the canyons in those races until a couple of weeks ago when Kenji did the same for me. I just assumed they were scripted not to do that, but it's actually the opposite. They even have their own cutscene that plays before they... well, die, pretty much.
lmao you say that as if Carbon is difficult

I remember playing this game so much as a 7 or 8 year old kid. I still feel time stop and vision zoom to cops when I see them on the road, 15 years later as a 23 year old adult.
Awesome video! I personally think Ekstrak’s soundtrack and menu music deserved more praise though. Stuff like “Limited Slip” or “Induction Kit” (the exotic theme menu version in particular) is legitimately on the same level as the old NFS soundtracks from Rom Di Prisco for me, just creates such an incredible vibe and atmosphere.
my man roman
Look for his track called "Porsches" here on youtube. It became the base for NFSC main theme.
Couldn't agree more. The soundtrack is one of the best, still.

I don't know why but carbon was one of my favorite nfs games mainly because of its crew system and the idea of taking over districts from other crews was just satisfying, but if there's anything that got me almost everytime I played it,was that when you crash there's always that one racer that puts a big screen of him taunting you
As a child, I somehow admired Sal, as he could do 320+ km/h easily even with Tier 1 RX-8. Most rubberbanding AI ever. Sal was the most OP wingman IMO
So… I played Carbon as a kid. But I played Own the City on the DS. I’ve never seen gameplay from the actual console version. However, it appears the DS version is a surprisingly faithful port to a handheld console.
DS version of NFS Carbon - Own the City runs at 60fps unlike the PSP's 30fps.
@@TigerChamp99 that explains a lot, actually.
@@TigerChamp99 To be fair when the PSP was actually current, 30fps on a handheld was fine especially for kids. I played the PSP version as well as the PS2 version, and since have gone back to the 360 version which is the ideal way to play.
Funnily enough though, I kind of prefer Own the City conceptually, since it had health bars and some really cool race/mission variety that wasn't present in the console versions. That said, nostalgia plays a big part in it, and driving around a (at the time, beautiful) reasonably sized open world on a handheld device was such a novel concept especially back then.
God I love the blackbox games
i.. feel old. when i played it, i was 22
@@dharkbizkit lol I'm 22 now
31:39 holy shit, he's talking about "pretty fly (for a white guy)" by the offspring. That makes so much sense when you compare the music video to Ronny.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who first thought about that song when Ronnie's actor commented about it. Indeed it makes too much sense.
I'm mad the actor didn't say the actual song title because, man, he's literally paraphrasing the lyrics!
I was like "Oh my god, is he talking about" and then he talked about the 13/31 line and I was like "OH MY GOD HE IS"
So many fond memories with this game. The canyon duels always had you right on the edge of your seat. Awesome stuff
This isn't the quality of a standard RUclips review I was expecting. Over an hour of information, compliments and criticisms. Very very well done.
Bro The music "Trevor Morris - Sounding Streets" Hit so hard as a 10 year old kid, the breakdown of the music started when you were close to the finish and since kids make more mistakes while playing, the adrenaline rush was very real, as I could easily bin it at 95% and have to start the race all over.
Need for Speed Carbon is one of the games of my childhood, I'd like to experience it again so I'm totally for a remaster (as long as it's not a lazy one)
I pull up the menu music on RUclips to listen on repeat sometimes when I'm working.
EA would probably fill it up with microtransactions.
I had a cracked version of NFS MW 2012 and liked it back then
I recently bought it again, only to find out absolutely all the cars I encountered were dlc
If it ends up in a similar way, I'll be pissed
I would kill for a remaster
@@nielsmichiels1939 It already had paid DLC on the 360 and PS3.
Amazing soundtrack too let’s not forget. That techno night life sound, classic indie, rock n roll, dark synth. Fit the games atmosphere perfectly. Trevor Moore and ekstrak are legendary.
Absolutely love these videos packed with great n beneficial info
Ray is like the Internet Historian. Silently posts a video, blows up internet.
He posted a couple of days ago too
But Ray doesn't have NordVPN man or R-AIDS

"When are we getting a video on Driver San Francisco?"
"Now THAT sounds more up my alley."
The wait for new videos is excruciating already, but this? You got me hoping and hyped for something years out on the Raycevick timeline
@@NLmitchieNL same, thanks for the reminder
Thank You for the time and effort put in making this awesome video.
I grew up in West Van, and that whole park royal part absolutely gave me such a throwback to when I used to always go there with my dad....
So crazy this game is also based on the Vancouver area.
Thank you so much for this video man.
Might be my favourite NFS of all time, this game is what I think about when it comes to car culture. Heavy bass, loud engines, nighttime through a nice looking city, and the soundtrack just all complimented each so well man.
You're talking NFS:Underground?
@@tydendurler9574 - That game is extremely limited and repetitive. Also, it's clear the physics engine wasn't made for the slower cars at the beginning!
I still cry when i hear kenji insulting my ride
It's a huge ego boost to go into that cutscene with a tier 3 car, yes you can get a tier 3 car early in the game legitimately
This is your last chance to face reality and back off!
@@Anxmaly666 how tho?
@@adamoutulny2345 sell all your cars except for one and then get it impounded, hit 'exit to main menu' and you should be able to start a new career on the same save file. This is pretty useful if you forgot to unlock cross corvette
@@Anxmaly666 okay thanks, i'll definitely try it out
NFSC is easily my favourite title in the whole franchise and probably my favourite racing game all-time. Even some of the things you criticized in the video are aspects of the game that I remember fondly. I used to get together with my friend almost every day after school to play the game, either doing challenges, split-screen races, building cars or playing the career mode. Once we finished the career, we'd always start over, and I've probably played through the career dozens of times by now. One of the very few games I've even bothered to complete multiple times in the first place. Might actually download it again one of these days for another playthrough.
Thank you for talking about the OST!!!
I feel like every new Raycevick video is his best to date.
And it still holds true
❤️
No pressure
@@Raycevick uwu
Giving more credit to the music, Ekstrak’s parts in the music were not only themed after the type of car you drove (tuner, muscle, exotic), but also when you were in last place. I was 7 when I realized this and loved when it happened every time.
I never liked the overabundance of pursuits in Most Wanted, so I spent a lot of time in Carbon as a kid. It's still my top entry in NFS series, together with Underground
22:46 Initial D's score is so magnificent, fitting for drift racing and unique, that even though I never heard that track before and Raycevick actually talked about Initial D, I could hear it completely out of context and go "Yeah, that's from Initial D without a shadow of a doubt."
Do you know the name of the song??
@@Adam-dm7lc Make My Day by Derreck Simons
Eurobeat is trash.
Your production quality has gotten insane man. Top notch writing with a ton of talent assisting you with visual has really elevated your channel.
I have to say that Kenji's line
"I heard you were back in town. Now I wanna hear your gone!"
Is so quotable that my friend and I say it far too often.
Great video 👌
“It’s your last chance to face reality, and back off!”
Honestly never expected to enjoy an hour worth of NFS carbon retrospective but here we are. Loved it!
Classic 👌🏽 I remember acquiring all the bosses cars both in Wanted & Carbon & restarting the whole race when I didn’t .
This is my most memorable NFS yet, the canyon missions are always exciting and you even get to drive the boss car.
NFS World music hits me hard, I never forget the high school days logging in everyday after school
Same, I'm so glad Soapbox Race World brought it back
I still remember being 12 years old discovering NFS word on my sisters laptop and playing on it in 2012. Game was a massive grind-fest without paying for those damn speedpoints! Still love it though :c
There is a project to bring back Carbon Online too, search on youtube and you can see some videos of the closed beta
World is live again.... From 2017
Damn, NFS world, what a game, i remember playing it and grinding for the Darius R8, and then the update that eliminated tiers came up and killed the game.
that intro ! thx for all the video is already a banger !
I literally just started replaying it a few days ago and this comes up in my recommended. Perfect
Played it as a kid, never could beat that R8. Rebought it a while ago, still can't.
Some things never change.
Use the Corvette
@@malcolmmayes6594 I could overtake him in first corner with a Vette but it took a lot of tries
Yeah, just use Vette or a Viper
@@renesisrx3069 I used a Cobalt SS to beat him. It wasn't easy but I did it
@@kirbyswarp I don't remember that car being in the game
I miss the days when racing games had storylines, nowadays racing games is just generic legal racing with only good physics and graphics that would probably bore you to death after 20 minutes, people also says all racing games are the same while in reality it's just GTA but without getting out of your car.
But racing games with cringeworthy stories are still there...just look at NFS Payback and Heat. There is no point on comparing legal track racing with good physics to arcade street racers with tunings and chases,it's comparing apples to oranges,totally different games for a totally different public.
@@Brenooliveira8989 I mean back then illegal racing are variated from FNF games to SRS or Midnight Club, nowadays the only one that had balls to bring that is EA and you know that they are not what they are used to be anymore.
@@AhmadWahelsa Most of these were just NFS imitations with nothing really special apart from MC wich Rockstar abandoned. These kind of games aren't that worth it these days because it's much harder to license real cars on them and the illegal street racing scene is no longer as strong as it used to be.
@@Brenooliveira8989 Yeah i know that, it's sad that Rockstar could just easily reuse GTA cars in Midnight Club and they are done.
@@AhmadWahelsa Thing is, GTA Online/VMP racing scene is so unbelievably strong, that they might as well focus on a single game with that. Buying cars is like the primary driver of GTA Online economy, and the cashiest of cash cows.
Great video, I loved it! I need to go revisit carbon and run now
The intro is fucking wild bro, good job to you or whoever made it, fucking awsome dude
I’m not even 3 minutes in, and my nostalgia is in overdrive
i'm 28 and watching this made me feel older than yoda
Good ol Carbon'
I swear this the best video about nfs carbon I have ever seen on youtube.
I wish the time would go back and ea would watch this video during the production of carbon. Carbon had and still has so much potential. Ea could simply remaster this game and ad all the deleted scenes to the remaster. If they do so they could safe the nfs franchise if they continue with the story from carbon. They could basically take some things from fast and furious 4 were letty gets in to crash and loses all her memory. This would be so good.
Bro this video just puts me into emotions and lets me think about how great need for speed back then was...
Oh my god, I never knew how much I needed this video. Bravo.
Amazing video, very well done.
The canyon race music is so good in this game
I remember when I played as a Kid with a PS2 and these races had me at the edge of the seat by how intense they were
oh god, it gave me so much anxiety maaaaaan
I'm re-living my anxiety just watching him play them hahahaha
I think one important thing that's being glossed over is, most wanted had that whole funky over the top thematics going on with wild cop chases being the selling point, but carbon distinctively went for a depressing, darker tone here that left you felt alien and alone in palmont city, the city itself was cold to you which unlike the warm colour palette of rockport had welcomed you as a newcomer, back in palmont - you're the one who left, the one who abandoned it.
The city remembers, the people remember, its why its so bleak and cold, its to signify this big change in tone that you're just an outcast here, no longer part of the city anymore. The cold ending with the villian just leaving like that, also makes you feel like you stayed an outsider, an outcast, you won but your victory wasn't even acknowledged. It's why the romantic drive off was cut. It's as if, to palmont city you were never welcome and you never mattered. This dark tone is especially felt in the canyon duels, where its just you alone and that cold unsettling chills are immediately felt, the fact that you are truly alone and no one would ever care if you were to die on that canyon by an accident. It's the lack of stakes that carbon has that makes it so different, yet good in its own way. You just cannot directly compare it to most wanted like this, afterall its not named Most Wanted 2, unlike something like underground 2. This is truly its own thing, and I personally think this review as amazing as your videos are kinda missed that point and that made me feel very sad.
You summarized the theme of the game perfectly
Valid take
I couldn't have put the words together on my own but that is actually how i feel about it. Very well written.
YES!!!!!! THANK U FOR THIS! NFS Carbon ambience it's pretty dark and kinda off putting
underrated comment
I grew up with this game at a time where I was struggling to understand how the world worked around me, least to say I was not able to develop social skills others at my age would do.
When I SEE footage of Carbon it reminds me of that time and it kind of depresses me, but for some realy inexplicable reason when I HEAR Carbons OST I simply cant help but to vibe into these amazing melodies it offered.
Forever in my heart, its good and its bad.
Thank you for making this video Ray.
hey bro this video is extremely well done i appreciate the watch you got a new subscriber one suggestion if possible for certain games and you wont get flagged videos of creators etc talking about development extremely nostalgic
That intro was god-like.
i disagree
@blood feast island man ur also gay
6:56 There was gonna be catgirls in repo man? now we know what happened to that game, it was to dangerous to be relased to the public
I remember playing this ten years after my last time, and I chose to play it on manual transmission. That really made the game so much more immersive!
Honestly, the intro to your video at 1:30 would actually make sense for a second story route like the player manages to reach Palmont city by throwing Cross off the cliff, but after reaching it he gets busted by the PPD. Some 3rd party person manages to free him and explains a bit what happened when he was gone. In this route:
- Player didn't talk to Darius or Nikki after his come back,
- Nikki still wants him dead (she's the main antagonist instead alongside Darius, up to a specific moment),
- Cross is dead - He doesn't appear at all,
- The first and last crew members to unlock are different (Not Neville and Nikki).
