The menu music combined with the menu aesthetics made it feel like I'm entering an entirely different world. This mysterious, exotic feeling captured so perfectly, never replicated ever since. I just find myself coming back here, always dreaming to see a remake of the menu design.
Hey Men, I just find myself coming back here long years after for remember that exactly different world created for music (first theme over all) and menu aesthetics more of 20 years ago
Had no idea, RIP. Been with them since the first NFS. I love his song Aeyayayayayeya from it. It's the legit name that popped up on my PS1 whenever i played it lol
to this day i have not played a game with better menu music, and good menu music is music that you can listen on, and on, and it never gets annoying, you just stop noticing it.
It's not just him who composed music. Saki Kaskas also composed music providing guitar riffs for Rom and also composed great tunes by himself. Not fair not to mention him I think
Why don't they bring car games like this back again, with the cool techno music and everything :-( ...... Rom De Prisco should mix more techno music for todays car games... and for future car games as well. Todays games, and especially car games of today have stupid Hip Hop and R&B music in that we listen to everyday of our lives. Hip Hop and R&B music gets irritating and old after a while.. but techno music.. will never ever reach boundry coolness. THATS COZ TECHNO MUSIC IS THE BEST!!! and so is Rom De Prisco!!!
i always kept my Z3 for a lil money maker to use to make more money to buy add-ons for other cars. I'd always sell others but always keep the Z3 just for financing lmao
You remember when in police chase mode there was no CLK-GTR available ? I mean there was only Maclaren F1 to choose but not CLK-GTR , strange , I never found out why
@@pillopillo297 I tend to emulate a lot of the Gran Turismo games, they have a very similar money-making career progression. Gran Turismo 4 probably was the peak imo. There's also Super Woden GP 2 on the pc, it is top down but it has that sort of career money-making progression you see in High Stakes.
Back in those days I couldn't even afford a PC at home and still remember visiting a friends home just to play this game in 2 Player split mode the moment the menu music kicked in we would just forget about everything else. So Nostalgic and by far the best ever NFS game ever created in the history.
Yeah!!! This is probably the most awesome all in one collection in video gathering all the menu themes of this game!!! To me, this video was like getting in a time machine. Such memories from when I used to play this marvel on my PSX when I was between 14 and 16 years old... Apart from the music tracks, those menus too were awesome. It's just unbelievable how they managed to put those moving square frames in just the limited hardware of a PSX, a whole demonstration of programming skills.
Best NFS! They need to remaster this game now!! I was only 5 at the time, but I would know and be a hell of a lot better now; wrote it on the Xbox forums, but wouldn't mind it on the PS4 either!
still the best main menu music and theme ever, I feel so lucky to witness this first hand when I got this game on release instead of the rubbish EA is producing now.
It's a game with great music that has a special place in my heart that cannot be described in words. I remember everything down to the smallest detail. From switching from low beams to high beams while driving at night (such a detail was very nice for those times) to constantly turning on the Calista music and liking the yellow color of Porsche 911. This game has the most legendary music ever and I love it. Saki Kasksas will always have a place..Unfortunately, today's car games have never been able to achieve the quality of this game that made NFS into NFS. I think we should form a group and express this to the necessary places, maybe with our voices this game and its music can be adapted to today.
I just finished playing Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and I couldn't help but think through the whole of that game, that there wouldn't of been that game if it weren't for this one. This game, due to it being PS1 and people consider it as being crappy by Today's standards doesn't get a lot of credit but this game remains highly important in the life of Need for Speed, and I think all the Hot Pursuits owe themselves to this one in particular.
Well, actually the first Hot Pursuit started it. The pc version allowed you to play both as cops or racers unlike the ps1 version. High Stakes was kind of a sequel to it. The PC version of HS is basically a recycled HP with career system and damage, no wonder we didnt get another High Stakes
Getting a little teary eyed just remembering how I was nothing but an innocent little kid spending hours playing with cars in high stakes. Nothing else mattered, life was kind.
put in the game, get busy with something else for a bit while this runs in the background, then return and start it. Thats what this 20+ min vid feels like LMAO. Memories
I genuinely remember hogging the main menu just like this and either starting at it getting lost in the music and graphics or just leaving it as a background while I read car magazines - man those were the days, just pure nostalgia ❤️
Man, I have been forgetting the name of this game for a long time but I still remember Photon Rez and even the menu sounds I still remember playing the game as a kid
karelpipa the new game started to suck when they introduced this free driving experience. driveclub is the only modern racing game that use the same formula as nfs hot high stakes.
This was one of the best games of the Need For Speed saga. When they switched to the Underground series they just ruined the NFS brand, they destroyed its spirit. This NFS High Stakes (Road Challenge in my country) wasn't the best driving game for PSX (Gran Turismo 2 was), but it was probably the one that brought the greatest emotions and feelings to the player. In those times, there was kind of a fight between PSX and Nintendo 64. Well, only for this game PSX would be already 20 times better.
When you started the game up for the first time scrolling through looking at every car and then to see the McLaren locked and you thought to yourself it’s go time. 4:06

especially with the menu music from 8:19
Absolutely.
The 90s were the best era to grow up in..ever..hands down..end of story.
From 86 and can't stop listening, try it on RUclips Music while driving and enjoy by the way if u like and know this Music that means you're OLD 😅
Rest in peace Saki Kaskas, you left great music for us ❤

+karambiatos I agree. The soundtracks are amazing!!
I still have it and still play it
Ridge racer type 4 it's another one.
true. sometimes i just sit in menu and listen/watch this amazing stuff. pure gold :)
Recently I played Gran Turismo Sport and the OST Lenny Ibizarre - Horizons came up and It really reminded me of this music
aah sweet childhood,memories, good times.... im very sad want to get them back :(((
We all do my friend, we all do
+ST i yeah exactly...
"ქართველი ხარ ბიჯო?"
Yes we do
For sure we do
4:05 always gets me in the feels
Kesinlikle 👍
When I work, I listen this music. It helps me to concentrate. Just fantastic.
Rom Di Prisco is a BEAST! This and Hot Pursuit have the best OST.
It's not just him who composed music. Saki Kaskas also composed music providing guitar riffs for Rom and also composed great tunes by himself. Not fair not to mention him I think
gran turismo 3 and high stakes were the best games ever
Just by looking at this main menu with the screen showing random scene, my nostalgia is already overload and i'm crying due to the happiness.

It's a fucking shame car games will never be this good ever again. Right in the fucking feels. My CLK-GTR was unstoppable.

Do you know of any game like this? Idk if this game is compatible with todays system.

Thank you for uploading this, i always loved the main menu of this game.
the music the aesthetics.. lovely Ferrari F50 and the Porsche 911
The best supercars of the day were from this game McLaren F1 GTR longtail and Mercedes Benz CLK GTR
Is it me or is this music very relaxing
So, so many good memories.. I can remember every car and every car's three modify styles.. Aah. I still play this game with my ps1. Epic Game.

The song from 11:00 onwards has been stuck in my head for 20 years and i finally found it
God I miss this game.
