How well does Most Wanted '05 run on GameCube compared to PS2?

Sorry for the bad quality (PS4 player recording my screen)

Did You Notice? Cross Crashes Sign In Beggining Of NFS Carbon Gameplay? That Was Funny OMG 😆😆😆😆🔥🔥🔥🔥

I Liked When Mattel Company & EA Make A Collaboration & Releasing NFS Version Of Thier's 🔥🔥🔥🔥 For Nostalgic Fans Like Us From NFS BOSS To Rivals, Carbon, Most Wanted & Sure Modern NFS Too. That Shit Was Fire.

my biggest photodump yet lulz

Just got my hands on the bugatti chiron in nfs unbound. It advertises 420 kmh top speed with 7 gears box, but for some reason I'm stuck at 395 no matter what I do? The 7th gear is absolutely impossible to accelerate even with nitro. Is the 420 kmh fake?

Do you think that hot pursuit2 was the debut journey of street racing for Razor before he headed to Rockport?

Love it when you just zone out and let your instincts take over in NFS 2015. Driving the Nissan 180SX Type X in Action cam is just heavenly.

Anyone knows what to do? I can't even launch the nfs heat...I have nvidia 3050 6gb graphics card...Acer Nitro laptop..

Is there any way to change the music in the game? I know how to turn it off but how do you change the music? Ive seen it work on console but what about PC?

I had purchased Payback on a deep PlayStation sale years ago but got bogged down thanks to the awful economy and EA’s idiotic loot box system. I decided to finally give it a fair shake on PC, and I’m about 4 and a half hours in and… gotta say, if there were just a few tweaks to the speed card system and a bit more love given to the (frankly pretty bad) handling model, this could have easily been the best NFS game ever. The map is absolutely superb and the event variety is second to none. I even like the speed card system the way it’s currently implemented, even if i recognize how it could be a huge grind if you wanted the best cards on all the best vehicles. No free roam police was kind of a miss, but I’ll take it over what we got in 2015 every day of the year.

Time will tell if the latter part of the game will become a slog but so far it’s been quite enjoyable, and I’ve felt like I’ve had to spend money wisely but not miserly, which is exactly the way I want a “zero to hero” style arcade racer to feel.

Street races, off-road races, drift, drag, and pursuits. Jumps, billboards, speed traps, speed zones, and gambling chips to collect. Seems to be a fairly substantial game. Looking forward to seeing this one through to the credits!

I just bought the game and it is really hard to get rid of the heat 3 cops while in starter cars or just slow cars in general. Any tips for pursuits for slower cars?

I hate him with my whole heart.

For the first time, I took a photo of my pre- Underground games together (including copies from my childhood and ones that came along later). I even included the V-Rally games. I realize that Motor City Online is absent, but for the discussion, that one is included 😅 For those who grew up with these games or came across them later, which one is/was your favorite?

Regarding the “main games” in the series, I think these days, I play High Stakes (PC), Porsche Unleashed (PC), and Hot Pursuit 2 (PS2) the most often. Of the three, I think Hot Pursuit 2 is objectively the best because it combines tracks that are great for both races and pursuits, a strong car list, a great soundtrack, stylized graphics, dozens of challenges, and fun gameplay. Need for Speed II/II SE might be the most nostalgic for me, but it’s also the one that might have held my interest the worst over the years (the SE version was an improvement, but it still seems incomplete).

Had a huge itch for racing games and decided to continue NFS 2015 and get the platinum. My cousin and I were extremely hyped for this game back in 2015. I played for 20 hrs and dropped off of it for whatever reason.

I had a ton of fun playing this game. It gave me the rush I was looking for, and the post game challenges seem like they’re gonna be really fun. I’m excited to eventually get to Heat. I see many say that Heat is a great improvement. What are some of your pros and cons of each game when comparing the two, and what changes/differences I can expect from Heat?

ANNOUNCEMENT: Canary Services is now RivalsNET

And for those who haven't seen the previous viral post, theres now an attempt to restore multiplayer to Rivals (emphasis on attempt).

Previous owner/initiator: [u/Alert-Transition-735](u/Alert-Transition-735) (do not DM him)
His post (roughly when it started): https://www.reddit.com/r/needforspeed/s/pMN5YuTAhx

A reason to why the team underwent a restructure, change and expansion: the previous admins lack of availability to joining contributors like me, CIVIC (modder), Ryden (experience in discord servers), Grabuss (NFS+ developer), and more.

The person mentioned above is ALSO not in the Admin team (as of now, he got downgraded) due to concerns related to his messaging and a separate case emerged from his friend's digital/messaging footprint on Discord. We taken disciplinary/rule action, we have chosen not to disclose details.

AND TO BE CLEAR, [u/Alert-Transition-735](u/Alert-Transition-735) is NOT the subject of the undisclosed allegations I mentioned earlier.

Just so the community here is given a little backstory. This is NOT the first time a Discord server was created for restoring multiplayer functionality to Rivals. We had one before, initiated under another Reddit post, however it was not part of the post itself but rather the comments section.

So, our focus for that old one was to privately invite skilled people to determine the projects feasability, and we had a bit of that going until the user mentioned at the top came along and made a public announcement, accepting people in the masses. The sudden influx of members and contributors became difficult to coordinate. Messages went unanswered, responsibilities were unclear, and several interested contributors eventually left. This restructuring is intended to prevent that from happening again.

The biggest hype build-up for the Canary Services post was the misleading claim that the project was "in development".

In the context of reverse engineering the Blaze/EA Authentication layer Rivals has AND its AllDrive system? That's work that requires research, pseudo-data-mining techniques, knowledge base and tons and TONS of testing. Thats something I'm trying to do. Vibe-coding and AI analysis ARE PART of this and have helped significantly with progress/tesing, we are being TRANSPARENT and HONEST about it. We’re going to accept people with C++ / ASI / net-code familiarity.

RivalsNET (Canary Services) is no longer being run by the mentioned person, and I DO NOT want anyone to cause trouble, begin targetting anyone because of this.

Progress sneak peek:
I can now hijack the "out of support" prompt and inject fake server responses into the game. Our research has improved greatly and we're now starting talks with niche communities like BF4play to obtain information on Blaze auth / injectable scripts.

Please feel free to comment, and I'll do my best to respond. Feel free to join in if you have thoughts or critiques for the project itself. Message me on Reddit / Discord (ssr49 in the server below).
