- Well, all I can really say here is that NFS Heat really surprised me! This was a fun review and there will definitely be more content on Heat coming in the future, this game will definitely be getting a lot more playtime, and I really hope Ghost puts some support behind it. Join my crew "HotLine" if you want to hang, and let me know what you think of Need for Speed Heat!!

Why can't we have a mix? Customization of NFS Heat and the Handling of Forza 4. I would love it soooo much!
That's the dream right there!
I thought I was the only one that thought this, I never see anyone make the link.
That would be amazing. Especially if they balance the game out instead of a Tractor dominating B class lol.
@Aku Better than payback but that's still not saying much. The handling/physics is still pretty bad. Need for speeds handling/physics is horribly outdated. Kinda like customization in forza lol
No because then we would have the perfect Street Racing game. And then there will never be a better one :(
I really wish they add a magazine cover races, like in NFS Underground 2 did to progress the game..
Those were always so cool!
That would include more work and investment. Now EA wants low investment and high returns at any cost.
Idk man back in the day it made sense because everyone would buy them. Now it's of an obsolete medium.
@@TheBoostedDoge people do buy them now too. But your point is right too maybe EA thought about that. But still having them would have been great. But doing that would have increased the cost too. Damn I have to play UG again.
@@virtualtraveller8676 Come to think of it. They could probably do something similar to the magazines but with sites like CarThrottle, Jalopnik or DriveTribe
This game feels like nfsu2 and nfsmw I love this game so much I’m gonna get comments saying “you’re wrong” but that’s what this game is reminding me of
Nighttime definitely feels like UG2 or Carbon and daytime seems like a Prostreet vibe to me. As for a Most Wanted vibe it's just the lack of "illegal" racing or cops in the daytime.
@@subieasunayuuki you little shit
@@baunc lol
How the hell does this game feel anything like those they are all completely different please explain this sht 😑
@@EPIKGamess let the person think whatever he wants....he is entitled to his opinion...and quite frankly I agree with him...
Glad you took the time To put A lot of hours in this Game to give us this review i Seriously needed this
Edit: I also believe This Game can improve and be 10x Better then before if Ghost puts enough effort
You bet! I always want to make sure I get a good feel of the game if I'm going to be reviewing it...and it was time well spent anyway 😅
Its still an incredible game! I bet you you'll love it
Dude. Amazing review. Thank you for this! you do a lot for the community! nice video, and nice driving too!
8:33 "...thought's of Underground II". Well, that's it. I'm getting this NFS game. Anything that brings back those fond memories can't be all bad.
Thanks for the excellent review! One can see when a reviewer has put a lot of efforts and play time into a game, before delivering the verdict.
@Ridiculed Victor You didn't see "worth a buy's" review... I imediatedly unsubscribed after that huge hate on the game
I love the aesthetics of the the game, i loved both underground/MW & Prostreet. So im really considering buying this, they catched me with the mix. but the handling still looks really bad. There is something off about having the game look "realistic" and the cars reacting the way they do. The bad cameras for the last 3 games dont help. Its a shame, the series is actually not far off from being good again. As many i always wonder what would happen if they go for a horizon "realistic, but no sim" drivingstyle. I personally would love that.
I personally think doing that would be just what the game needs and would take it to a this game is excellent feeling when your in a cop chase and can drifting round corners the way you can in horizon 4
Yeah the driving seems a little fake arcade like ....i don't like it
I hated 2015 and payback's handling but I am a big fan of it in this game. A full track setup car like my civic type R absolutely chews up circuits and time trials you really need to play the game to feel the difference. This game is a love letter to my childhood and most wanted/underground/carbon despite little nitpicks.
Honestly if i haven't seen HokiHoshi playing this game i wouldn't even consider installing it. Now i'm glad i did. Try it out and see for your self.
The game is beautiful. Drifting on the other hand, that’s something else.
"and there will definitely be more content on Heat coming in the future, this game will definitely be getting a lot more playtime, and I really hope Ghost puts some support behind it" EA: HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Don't get me wrong. This game is a ways away from perfect. And I'd like a few things to be tweaked like the camera. But the main appeal of this game for me is its very apparent improvement from Payback. A good story, fun gameplay, and a much more diverse map make this already better than the last few games. It's no problem to criticize this game because that's what we're supposed to do as consumers, but as a long time fan, I feel like this is a solid edition that they need to stick with. BTW thx for another great video HokiHoshi.
I agree! The camera in Heat didn't bother me as much as in 2015, but yeah, Heat is a solid addition to the franchise and I hope they keep up this trend with the next game!
@@HokiHoshi Glad we're on the same page bro. I'm a new sub and appreciate this channel so much.
You always have the content that I'm looking for when it comes to racing games. It's actually insane at this point. ily
Hoki, AAAAAAH, savior of the RUclips 🎵🎶
I had mixed feeling too about drifting until I realized that you constantly have to double tap the gaz to help you while drifting to adjust your direction.
Last game I bought was need for speed most wanted lmao after that I didn’t buy no other need for speed till heat , came out and I’m actually enjoying it and grinding it hopefully they do go the right direction 🔥🔥
Good review. In short I think Heat at least tried to become a good NFS game again. The car modification system is easy not complex like payback. Both day & night races are well balanced. The destructible environment is okay but destroying those large trees with a hit seems pretty unrealistic. The drifting is very easy in this game so people who are not much into racing will also like it.
Overall it maybe a good game but not as great as the underground series.
I don't think synthwave was quite the asthetic the game was going for. The blue and pink neon checkpoints is simply the classic Miami color pallet. And I believe outrun gas is simply a pun to the fact that it repairs your damage at night when you are in a cop pursuit.
yeah I actually quite enjoy the soundtrack & im 28 , though I do admit I mostly listen to hip hop and am a fan of edm. I didn’t mind his criticism of the soundtrack though since that is definitely subjective. This is probably the best review I’ve seen of need for speed heat. I’ve been playing this gem on Xbox Gamepass and I’m completely hooked. Definitely feels like a mix of underground, most wanted (2005) & some forza horizon thrown in. Loving it so far, can’t wait to play more
I hope we do see more cars and content added to the game, i've actually been enjoying it so much, just spend hours collecting cars that I want not even try-harding for the ultimate parts.
The game is pretty good! I have the last 5 NFS and this one is by far the best one!
Awesome review! Bought the game based on your feedback
Solid review!
Coming from Horizon 4, I was about to quit Heat after the first couple of races. But I stuck to it for the customization and with a good tune the cars are good fun
Very good review, I feel about same after my 30 hours. The problem with need for speed heats handling/physics for me, while better than payback. Is it feels outdated by about by about 12 years. Were forza to me is a up to date handling/physics model. I hope that makes sense.
30 hours? That's so much
@@draiverc7519 Not when you can't do anything else because you're sick.
Metal Neck NFS is arcade, it’s not meant to play like Forza
@@DescendingBlade Forza is also a arcade racer so. I also wasn't directly comparing the two and was not meant to be taken in a literal sense. It's just the best reference I had. I could also replace forza with grid or wreckfest.
I mean you can live tune your steering
We need a return of the Midnight Club series. This would force other developers to step up their game...
Great review, I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!
Midnight Club 3 is one of my all time classic favorites! I'd love to see a reboot of that to put the pressure on other devs.
THE CREW IS YOUR MIDNIGHT CLUB... GOT BIKES AN ALL THAT TRASH
@@AWretchedMan you right there bud? Seem a little upset, go have a little sit down and a breather.
@@GloveSlapnz Haha nah im good
If rockstar decides to midnight club series they will have more money
Ok that loading screen transition around 2:09 to night time was sick as fuck!!
Nice review Hoki
Great review, I'm buying today, thanks.
Wait for black Friday. Apparently it'll be $20 less
Predator how much will the 100$ edition be ?
@@anthonymolina7416 idk I just heard some RUclipsr saying it'll be $20 less. I couldn't wait I got the $100 one already 😂
man I love the songs and outfits ngl haha
Imo it's a step in the right direction but not enough to get excited about.
If you haven't tried it yet, turn on traction control in the live tuning menu. It improves grip tunes quite a bit. Here's some footage of how TCS looks.
Low-mid tier performance: ruclips.net/video/gksdVdMUHkE/видео.html
High performance: old.reddit.com/r/needforspeed/comments/dsuxjy/high_performance_grip_gameplay_for_anyone/
Interesting, I've actually been playing with TCS off my whole playthrough, will definitely check that out!
@@HokiHoshi I know it goes against every instinct you've built up from sim or simcade racing games, but it really does make the grip feel like "proper" grip handling, where racing lines become very important.
You'll want to lean as far as possible to grip upgrades, though. It helps alleviate understeering, which can be a problem when using TCS and a poor grip build.
I wanna know why we cant use the spoiler on the polestar 1on the cover😭😭 I love that spoiler lol
I think other players racing through your race without participating is actually really cool. Adds a new dimension
I definitely agree that its cool a lot of the time! It can shake up a race and give some life to the city, but I fear that griefing could become a serious issue and like that little clip showed it can definitely make things go south quick
Been burned so bad in the past but now im reconsidering and may buy Need for Speed Heat
If they had made the radio station mostly 80s music and some modern tunes it would be amazing, I mean come on, that whole aesthetic vibe is already there
This might be random but do you mind sharing the playlist you mentioned earlier? I would be down to hear the type of music you race to
dude, idk about you, but when denzel comes on, and the fact hes from florida gets me stupidly hype. the soundtrack to me is very fitting, because I'm thinking that I'm in Miami. that's personally me though.
No the music sucks
@@jorgecabrera7088 Denzel's or the playlist as a whole
@@ltsjoke5443 naw that song actually slaps im speaking in general
@@jorgecabrera7088 I can agree wit that
you did a very good job. thank you. :)
I want Black Box's HP2 with online and its oldschool handling and track design.
It’ll be on a good sale Black Friday so I’ll probably give it a shot then
NFS2015 is my favourite since Ghost. I havent played this one yet and my only complaint with 2015 was that there was not enough vehicles. I feel like this one takes the good from payback and good from 2015 and joins them together in their own original mix and now we have Heat.
So I just got this game because it was on sale and I want to know if I should use a controller or a steering wheel?
Great review. 100% agree with your point about the soundtrack, the night racing is crying out for some decent synthwave! Thankfully the PS4 Spotify app still makes that possible for me.
Maaan that bad music playlist really drives me crazy with so many Spanish songs which i couldn't understand and if i try to play Spotify along with the game in pc there will be major FPS loss and frame drops 😐
All heat needs is the level of customization that underground2 had!
Gotta pick this up
I put those same exact rims on my R34 too
I was cruising around I hit nothing looked at my car scratches was everywhere and it's the same scratches that appeared on every single car it's like some weird copy and paste graphic that appears on any car once you start driving fast it just fades in and all of a sudden your car looks horrible
That is because the air scratches your car when you go fast it works like that in real life to
@@lisserkc6000 shut up you idiot!!! not like that!!!today I realized you don't even have to drive for scratches to start appearing on your vehicle go outside the garage do a simple burn out for 10 seconds by holding down both triggers you will see the scratches start to fade in
I have no problems with the playlist at all. And they're intentions were for more of the arcade style. Driving in HEAT is considerably better
Thanks for the review, gave it a like because of your effort. I hate arcade racing games though. As someone else said, give us NFS Customization and Forza handling. Many are waiting for jesus to come down from the sky, but im waiting for that dream car game. NFS is half of that with the best customization and forza is much closer to the dream. None are there yet though, till then....I cri
Not being rude but you do know forza is a arcade racer. It's just a arcade racer with up to date handling/physics. Were need for speeds handling/physics, is well outdated to say the least.
@@metalneck9825 forza did a Great job
@Toxic Potato Actually it is true, forza is a arcade racer. You can just jump in and throw the car. Fine tuning not needed. Literally put cars to gather in 5 min and place 1st in an online adventure. Don't know why some of you think is a sim. Just because you actually have to use a bit skill and actually tune a car does not make it a sim. Now if it had handing like real sim like assetto corsa. Yes forza would be a sim but it doesn't. Forza doesn't have realistic physics like a sim.
@Toxic Potato Yes they are all arcade racers. No they are not all the same lol but they are all arcade racers lol Some just have better more up to date handling/physics like grid or wreckfest. Just because something has good handling/physics model does not make it a sim.
@Toxic Potato Go out play some real sim racing games. You'll want a wheel, unlike forza. Then tell forza isn't a arcade racer. I don't personally now anyone who actually thinks forza is a sim. Even the friends that only play arcade racers. Hell even here, people consider forza an arcade. That's why it's used as a reference/comparison to other arcade racers lol
The classic muscle cars need the bug catcher hood scoops
Waar
I will buy it when it goes down to 20 dollars
Nfs underground 2 was the best control manual wide and handling wise these cars never kick out unless you make them
I've player it since worldwide launch, I LOVE IT, AND I HATE NFS SINCE CARBON! PLAY IT YA'LL!
Do cars still turn themselves, or try to auto correct themselves during turns, straights, mid drift....? Like in 2015?
Yeah that was definitely one of the worst things about 2015! It definitely doesn't happen near as much or near as bad in Heat but I do still sometimes notice the cars getting a mind of their own
I miss the hell out of NFSU2.
This games you FEEL like youre goku.
I've been playing heat for a bit (currently REP level 26), and the one thing that bugs me is the drifting. Every single corner I spin out into a wall and I have looked up tutorial after tutorial to no avail. The racing is fine once you live tune so it doesn't drift every turn. Car damage needs some reworking IMO. Other than that it is great. Best customization in a long time. Cool to see Ferrari back but I don't really like Ferrari so not a big deal to me.
Did you ever run into Drag racing? There are drag parts but I have yet to find drag racing.
Can we just stop with the foreplay and remake NFSU2? Update the cars, leave out any that cost 100K+ and expand the map.
WE NEED MORE MUSIC... I SWEAR I HEARD THE SAME SONG THREE TIMES IN ONE MINUTE... and yes i know they have like two songs in the game ugh (I'm over exaggerating on purpose) but seriously though at least have like i don't 75 songs... Let me correct that 75 GOOD SONGS👏
The music is perfectly fine... it’s actually bearable compared to the previous 2 games that i had to cut off because of how cringe they were.
There's actually one song in the game that's retrowave, and it's otro lugar by mnkybsnss
Definitely
Imagine they release Underground 3
Need Help How to get the Spoiler from Thumbnail?????
No Multiplayer Lobbies and no true Multiplayer are really making me want to wait for Black Friday, I have already seen this listed for $35. I have the itch to play this weekend but the crazy hard cops and no real MP are making me not want to pay full price.
I haven't played a Need for Speed game since Carbon and prostreet. I do play GTA 5 though. Safe to assume it's alot like that? Can't remember NFS handling
Need For Speed YEET
This game is soooo fun but honestly i wanted way more cars. Playing this with mods is insane. The amount of customization and being able to make a super car look like a crazy ricer amalgamation. They probably wont update this game with customizations or something other so im relying on modders to mod the game to make it more fun.
Can you redo races and events you already completed and get credits/rep again ?
Wikus Van Dyk yeah
Yes you can repeat races to make money
Thx
In other news, toothpaste is amazing.
agreed.
Jaylog halladayyyyyy
Let your children pay
Riders on the storm
Something something something
...there's a killer on the road...
Brain is squirming like a toad.
Could you share the playlist you mentioned?
Ah yeah good thinking! I'll update the description with a playlist link when I'm back at my PC
HokiHoshi synthwave would have been a amazing fit for need for speed heat I love synthwave is very popular but I don’t think game developers know that.
@@Toniolmclain19 i wouldn't call synthwave extremely popular.
Daniel Hillegus what would you call it retrowave ?
I haven't played an nfs game in 6 years. This may be the one that I play.
Joshua Velasquez ok
NFS UNDERGROUND 2 has the best sound track EVER. I downloaded the iso file and still enjoyed nfs underground 2
100%. I listened to NFSU2's soundtrack a lot while writing this review and it's just so good.
@@HokiHoshi I illegally downloaded nfs underground 2 iso file on my PC and I enjoy so much
I hate how Midnight Club still had a better decal editor
Finally a proper review! Did you watch WorthABuy's review? Good Lord...
@Toxic Potato what pisses me off the most is that he downplayed the repetition of GRID but then had the nerve to bash NFS Heat saying it's repetitive.
I bought GRID based on his review what a scam it was
Please go to japan after this ghost game
Game seems great with a few things that need to be addressed. Chiefly the damage model is ridiculous cops take no damage while you take a ton.
From the gameplay I've seen you're right
@@lamarkuscalvert6773 I bought the game and I liked it however the cops are way too hard and they don't take any damage whereas you take a lot
@@mattmanley7118 Hopefully they will balance it out in an update and add exotic cop cars it should be harder as the levels go up but I still think that it should be balanced for you to take damage and the cops take none at all is not cool
@@lamarkuscalvert6773 the other thing I don't like is how they're purposely locked some of the most coveted cars behind completing the activities some of which are ridiculous for example the 488 pista you must complete all activities and you must 3 * all of them
@@mattmanley7118 that's crazy they need to fix a lot of things in the game How are the physics in your opinion
you should review carbon, i still view it as a game that COULD have been incredible and that i want to like, but a few things about it kind of ruin it for me
How do you switch like that? 2:12
It's an option in your map screen. You can only use it to go from day to night, not vice versa.
If this game has a synth wave playlist I’d be livid
I kinda like synthwave tho
SiestaFace yeah I do too
Yes big car list but some car are the same with different version. Dont get me wrong i love heat but wish all the car are unique not same car with different version
I will just put on the Need for Speed Most Wanted Soundtrack while playing, instead of hearing the OST.
Yeah the garage music is the best out of them all
Give me your playlist please and thankyou
hand it over and noone gets hurt 🔫😷
edit: after hearing your conclusion and as far as I have played it's just making me more excited to see Unbound, style being the big key word here and from what I've seen of Unbound so far it's dripping in style so I'm drooling to see if it carries into the game proper or it's just blown up for marketing fluff, if it can stick to the vibe properly and play as good as Heat then I think it could be just what I've wanted 🤞
I don't really agree about the soundtrack. It doesn't fit an 80's aesthetic, but it definitely fits modern day Miami.
Same here, It's a really hard hitting and fast paced playlist which suits the nature of the game perfectly
Just mute the soundtrack, and put on some outrun
Cmon cyber-monday😩😩
How's the monetization?
Surprisingly absent from the game so far!
@@HokiHoshi let's see if it's yet another 'patch it in' scheme...
it says ur channel is down?
Good vid. How hard can it be to just make a re-make? I feel like i just wanna knock on Ghost Games door and show them hows it done xd
The music is dope i dont know what are u talking about
its a matter of opinon, but there's not a ton of variety. if you dont like rap, then this soundtrack is straight up bad
MrHello1 I like rap but the sound track is just cringe
The r34 is a sexy beast
I played the game for 2 hours since I had a 10 hour trial from Origin Access. It may be better than the last Need for Speed games, but apart from engine sound tuning and underglow, there is literally nothing about this game that would make me want to spend time in it over playing Forza or even The Crew.
I traded my Forza horizon 4 in for this and I say this no regrets at all, after playing this I can't play Forza horizon 4 Again, it's so shit in sounds and the seasons and the customisations, the added bonus of this game is the cops during the day are much more lenient and you have unlimited repairs so you can have a cop chase all day long, just like in NFS MW and undercover, the crew 2 is just a big empty world with shitty physics, they really weird physics in that game I traded that in 2 days of getting it.
1st off theres 50 fuckin tracks? I call super bullshit
2nd off why is there no private servers? Mutiplayer lobbies become unplayable after people start night races, I have sceenshots of the entire map and its streets being covering in 20+ cops in a straight line every lane, its ridiculously funny at times
Can't toy with the heat cops like the old most wanted cops. They are RUTHLESS. Still haven't been busted.
Can you add your own music to it? I will be adding the most wanted list, nice mix of different styles of music.
Sadly I don't believe there's any way to add/swap in music to the game, I would kill for a mod though that let that happen!! Being able to adjust your custom playlist for night or day would be rad.
I’m a little late, but please take the time to read this. While I agree with most of what you’ve said, there is one thing that sticks out in your review that must be put to rest: “Outrun Aesthetic” and NFS Heat’s failure to adhere to the 80’s techno visual styles and music.
You are entirely incorrect.
1. Outrun, in the case of NFS Heat, is a reference to the PvP mode called Outrun where you go head to head with another racer in free-roam within NFS Underground 2 and has nothing to do with the retro 80’s style you speak of. Developers of Need for Speed have always paid homage to facets of previous titles as fan service and continuation of the heritage.
2. The visual style is an embellished and exaggerated analog to Miami’s neon lights, rich urban art culture, and night life. This is also why the game is called heat. It’s both a reference to the conflict between the cops and racers and a reference, more importantly, to the city of Miami itself - Miami Heat - which coincidentally is also the name of their basketball team. Knowing this, NFS Heat’s art direction is actually very well executed and encompasses the look and feel of Miami really effectively.
3. The music... Again, this is another area where they have done really well. The music choices coincide with the overall Miami vibe. It’s Latin-centric hip-hop and EDM tunes. The music direction’s only flaw is the lack of titles included in the game and the repetitiveness of the music playlist.
4. The car choices have nothing to do with trying to accommodate 80’s retro. The cars are well known auto/gear head enthusiast hero vehicles - classics, if you will.
All in all, the direction of the game is actually very cohesive and well thought out if you can look past your own presumptions. Please be cautious of your personal biases before criticizing others’ works. That’s all. Good review otherwise.
I agree with your review except the part with the music. Synthwave is not something you play while driving in a high octane arcade racing game. It would put racers to sleep. Its just your taste in music and frankly thoughts like that should be kept out of reviews. The games sound track is terrible tho but Synthwave music does not fit it any more than the existing track list.
Dude...it's a game review...His opinion of the game. Henceforth, his personal tastes and opinions will be in the video. Lol obviously it's his "taste of music".
Also... synthwave would be totally perfect for this video. Duh. Oh shit...did I just include my personal opinion on the internet?!
Josette Eliza Hooker yes it’s exactly your taste. People have different music tastes. He says that synth wave would be better as we can all agree that the sound track isn’t the best. But synth wave does not make it better for everyone or even the majority of people playing this game. The point was for the sound track to be as diverse as possible but it failed. The issue is that he is saying synth wave is the remedy to that which is also just as wrong. Music is subjective so no particular genre is better than the other but suggesting synth wave is the best they could have done is just as wrong as the current soundtrack
There are a lot of synthwave artists with very fitting music, like Dance with the dead or d.notive. ruclips.net/video/NjsemNhze7U/видео.html
I hate how painfully slow every car is. Even after upgrades they are still slow
First
The Soundtrack is decent but needs more variety, Drifting is just ass and the carlist is okay at best. 127 cars but so many duplicates or special versions of the same cars.
The soundtrack was an absolute mess. And the ending of the story was the most abrupt and lacking ending since Kane and Lynch 2. The rest is awesome
