      I'd love for NfS to come back in a spectacular fashion, but there's no way EA will let that happen. It's kinda like Sonic in a way. I mean that as no matter what the developers want to do, SEGA doesn't care, which is why '06 and Boom exist. So while I'd love the series to come back in a meaningful way, I don't have much hope. Well, there was NfS Heat, which apparently isn't half bad, but it's not there yet.

      I've actually heard it was the other way around. The PC/XBox/GC version was developed first, with the PS2, being less powerful, handed off to Black Box to make a port. Then they went above and beyond, working their asses off to remake most the game in only a few months.
      IDK what is true that, we will probably never know.

      No, the thing is before Hot Pursuit 2 was developed EA Seattle was developing and mantaining Motor City Online (originally planned as Need for Speed Motor City, 1999 - 2003). When Hot Pursuit 2 was planned to be developed portion of EA Seattle was still on Motor City Online, obviously it being the world's first massive multiplayer Online racing game it needed constant support during its live time.
      Being from the MCO community we had alot of talk about MCO and NFS and I don't exactly remember what they said how HP2 was affected, however it probably couldn't have full attention because EA Seattle was co-working on other games, for example at least MCO. However, HP2 for the PC/GC/Xbox doesn't play bad and doesn't look bad for its time, in fact the visuals are fairly compareable how the EA Sports titles from 2002 - 2006 looked for the PC). What really couldn't push the PC Version, Xbox and GC was that the PC's at the time were not the most powerful saying that 95% of the people who had a computer was just poweful enough to run games like HP2 as it is, the GC wasn't a wonder neither so the Xbox had to follow the line to be able having multiple systems product. The PS2 luckily got the chance for its exclusive treatment using all its capability for Hot Pursuit 2 with a second devlopment team that was already familar with the console.

    This was my first NFS game and I still love it and play it at least once a year. I have a ton of hours into my PS2 version from when I was a kid and it personally got me into racing games. Still holds up to this day, at least for me. All the tracks had something I liked in them and I only played in Hot Pursuit mode. It almost felt like simulation racing with Arcade police thrown in and it was amazing. Bombs, Spike Strips, Missiles, and roadblocks in a race made it amazing. I wish all the NFS games had aggressive helicopters like HP2 had. Awesome game worth playing even to this day.

    The last true NFS in my opinion. My cousin bought it back in early 2003 and installed his copy on my PC too; the graphics felt so top-notch back in the day! The gameplay was equally fun, especially after migrating directly from 2 SE and seeing some of the same cars on this game too. I mostly got busted back in the day so I mostly just used the Multiplayer feature to 'host' a game and then just test drove any of the cars on the tracks. Fun times, man! Really miss them now.

    The newer Hot Pursuit was okay, but didn't even come close to this one. I thought they did a damn near perfect job here. Great selection of cars, tracks with beautiful scenery, and the AI for both cops & opponents was spot on. I miss driving the Ferrari F-50. PS2 good memories. Appreciate the review!

  • @carbonracer1432
    @carbonracer1432 3 года назад +2

    I have GameCube version and PS2 version.
    Other things that were never mentioned in this video:
    Horns- you can honk in all versions but when you look behind you, your headlights flash in PS2 version.
    McLaren F1 LM- in GameCube and the other 2, the car is only 1 color, the beautiful iconic orange that idk the name of, but PS2 allows you to change the color, orange, red, blue, silver, and black.
    Points- in PS2 he mentioned you get points over time from racing, in GameCube and the other 2, it’s “bank”, you buy the cars so you can race them in free run or buy better police cars.
    Coastal Parklands race- They are the same tracks but the scenery is completely different as well as some short cuts. When you start the race, your first short cut is dirt, as in PS2, it’s tarmac, and same with the light house. Before the tunnel, you have a big cliff with some grass and trees maybe, that is basically just a wall, unlike PS2, it’s the beautiful sea/ocean. The chief cut to the left of the tunnel is the same until you reach the bridge. GameCube has a little concrete bridge while PS2 has a broken sewer pipe with a nice little stream going through it for you to splash through.
    Driving style- GameCube and the other 2 you can go straight into the race and it asked you if you want to use auto or manual. As for PS2, it asked for transmission and handling style. Auto, semi-auto, and manual, handling styles are classic or extreme, which is a more simulation feel if you choose extreme. When you do free run(I’ve never done anything else other that free run outside of career mode as I’ll call it), there’s traffic settings, GameCube and the other 2 offer “on” and “off” while PS2 has off, minimum, moderate, and maximum.
    Car modeling- GameCube and the other 2 have a different version of the Mercedes CLK GTR than PS2 does. The license plates in GameCube are yellow, while PS2 has actual Europe license plates.
    **This comment WILL be updated if I have more to add.**

  • @NO_MCCXXII
    @NO_MCCXXII 3 года назад +6

    Man, this game hits me hard with nostalgia. Looking back at this time, one of the things I absolutely loved was the soundtrack. My favorites were the two songs by Hot action cop (Feva for the flava, Goin' Down On It
    ). For me, those two songs really give the game its own personality.
    I also find it ironic that the two songs in the game are censored versions of the original songs. Which made finding out/listening to the uncensored songs many years later to be really damm funny. But you gotta hand it to them, turning a song about wanting to eat a girl's p***y to a song talking about how badass your car is. Or a song about having sex to a song about outrunning the cops in a fast car.
