      I had Rosen's line of "I could kill you in 5 seconds with my bare hands" in mind originally for Carbon: OTC, but passed on it because I feel not everyone would've gotten what I would've been sneakily referencing.

    What makes the 90s NFS so special:
    1. The game series first entrance was thanks to the publication of the car magazine Road & Track. Pretty unique for it's time that a magazine got involved with games.
    2. NFS II's car list is mostly centered around concept cars. So the developers could design them however they please.
    3. NFS III Hot Pursuit have a clever type of music composition. Instead of just playing the songs, they all change tone & depth throughout the stage. Carbon did this too.
    4. High Stakes damage model on PC leans heavily towards more realistic car behavior. Should you hurt your ride enough it will showcase different types of damage.

      I don't dislike Shift at all. I feel its aged poorly, though this is a fate I feel shared by most sim-racers due to time.
      Its also been years since I've gone through both Shift games properly, so that can always change with a re-playthrough.
      The Run to me has always stood as a great concept executed poorly. Its far too short for the sort of game its attempting to convey, and the handling physics feel very weighty and all over the place. I also felt its main protagonist (Jack Rourke) to be rather bland, nothing that really stood out imho. I wouldn't actually call it *horrible* like in this video, that was just left in there more for comedic purposes, but I wouldn't call it a good game either.
      Ultimately as I mentioned in the description, this is just a video meant to be for fun, nothing to be taken seriously.

      -Graphics that are imo, still better than any NFS that has ever came out.
      -Car sounds are weirdly better sometimes!
      -The ambience and story is awesome!
      -Having real car culture icons in the game is so cool!
      -I like the side characters, I even like the fact that Spike is annoying my ass often because of how cocky he is... X)
      And I know the physics are horrible (maybe not that much) but I was expecting it when buying it so... It's no surprise, it doesn't ruin my fun tough! And I know the overall AI is garbage, the map is pretty small but I can get over these things.

    “Given enough time and attention, an artist can turn any pile of scrap into a supercar” - Rav
    “Say you pull up next to a real sweet ride. What do you think? How much does it cost? How fast it can hit a hundred?

    dude agree with everything but heat even undercover was better than heat imo. Heat was just a worse wannabe burnout paradise and the story was really boring not the worst but still meh

      i think youre somehow confusing the gameplay of heat with most wanted 2012, either that or you have a very strange memory of burnout paradise
