The only way to play NFSU, on a console, is to have an original Xbox, which I wouldn’t mind having anyway. It was never even ported to the 360. I just want o modify a Neon damnit!

The. I can also play Phantom Dust. A very underrated game that is absolutely amazing. It’s like an FPS and a card game had a baby. A magical baby.

Let’s not forget NFSU’s playlist.

Um...

Also, I’m pretty sure that Lean Back was on NFSU2... but I have you covered on that:

NFSU had some great music:

They added phantom dust to the backwards compatibility list.  You can play it on a one x now!

Um, you can modify a Neon in real life for not much more money than an Xbox costs. Don’t let your dreams be dreams.

Also, fun fact; I’m pretty sure that Underground was one of the only video games that featured an NA flat 4 Subaru ( Gran Turismo 4,5,and 6 featured the Legacy 3.0R ) :

Mechassault and crimson skies were my jam

As much as I want to I can’t love any NFS that isn’t hot pursuit. Something about the cop chases just made that exciting. I’d kill for a new one that was more like HP2 than the re-make one we got for the 360 which just kind and felt strung together and I can’t even play it on my X1.

And also PS2 and GameCube? (And systems that can play their games?)

But why wouldn’t you just play the Windows version?

For Phantom Dust, you can play the XBox One rerelease, or again play on Windows.

Probably the only one to feature a non-turbo post-2000s Lancer as well!

NFSU2 is the far superior game, anyhow. The only part I didn’t like was when it forced you to have a certain amount of fugly visual mods installed to progress.

“What’s that? You’ve won every race and want to advance to the next part of the game? Sorry, you haven’t riced out your car enough yet!”

A high school classmate of mine had a yellow one (O.Z. Rally?) with a real carbon fiber hood and deck lid around 2011 . I never really fully understood it...

I played a lot of Crimson Skies on PC...was never a fan of MechAssault though, it lost a lot of character and feel of the original Mechwarrior games in my opinion....too arcade-y and not sim-y like the originals sortof were. Mechwarrior 2, it s Ghost Bear’s Legacy expansion, and Mechwarrior 3 were my jam growing up! Played a lot of Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries online in university and play Mechwarrior Online now! :)

IIRC the EVO wasn’t in the US yet. Which could explain that

I could  be like that one kid in my home town with a Neon that was modified like the Skyline from 2 Fast 2 Furious

Most Wanted was a good marriage of the underground and Hot Pursuit games.

I think with a few tweaks that formula could be the best NFS game ever.

Lots of customization, a flimsy story  with only a few cut scenes, a manual trans option, and good cop chases. That’s what o want

You know I originally played these games on PS2, so I don’t know why I didn’t think of that option. After the first time I played Forza I turned my back on Sony and became an Xbox loyalist. Bought my own ASAP and never considered buying a PS3,4,5  When I came time to upgrade

True but we got a R34 GT-R in the game and that’s still mostly-illegal to import into the US.

Crimson skies was great too.


Dam it, now I have to hunt down all of the cabling, my controllers and do a binge over the winter

i thought about buying an old xbox on ebay (i turned mine into a science project in high school after the xbox 360 came out) but prices for ones in decent condition are insane lol

My first console was a PS2. I bought an early model PS3, and later picked up an original PS1. I’m definitely in the PlayStation ecosystem, though I never made the jump to PS4.

The trick is to build a fugly “show car” to advance the game but keep a cleaner -looking car to race in.

Did it allow you to be the cop? That was kinda my personal thing about hot pursuit

I’m not sure. I think on multiplayer there was a chase mode where you could fit that
