Gotta find a place to mount it somewhere but either way, finally gonna get some 1080p racing in on my 100 inch “screen” (projector on a wall). More importantly I got it for Amazon prime watching but having this game and gta v will definitely be an added bonus. Any oppo ps3 owners out there, feel free to add Duncantor5678 to your list and we can play GT6 some time.

I bought one several years ago from a guy getting out of the Corps he threw in like 20 games, but I’ve never been a PS guy, didn’t own a game system until the xbox 360 came out, lol. I still have a ps3 but i have no games for it, maybe I will make a trip to a game store to see if I can swipe some super cheap games, because free online playing

Definitely, it’s in the mail and should be here by next week. I shoulda just bought it on prime but I found it cheaper elsewhere and am forced to wait. 1st world problems.

Been wanting to play NFS: shift (sequel not sure if it was unleashed or just shift 2) lately loved the way that once you upgraded the chassis for lightness it would take away parts of the interior for lightness.

I just can’t stand the way cars drive in need for speed. The only entertainment value I get out of it is the drifting events lol. Those are pretty fun. And making ludicrous ricer Escalades and shit.

That’s Underground 2, it’s a very different game.

If you’re interested, once you get it and get going, I’ll add you and we can mayhem online if/when we’re on at the same time

Haha might as well at least have grand turismo. I am not much of a video game player but it was definitely the cheapest way to set up an Amazon prime box. Having games is just an extra bonus.

Sounds good, I won’t be playing a whole lot but I’ll definitely be on when it’s raining out! Thankfully I’m in the northeast so we get enough rain to give me plenty of play time lol.

Haha I didn’t realize there was more than one need for speed game, had only played underground 2 at a friend’s once. I’m not much of a gamer lol. What’s different about it? Do the brakes actually serve a purpose?

I can’t honestly say I play a whole lot either, but I’m sure we’ll occasionally cross paths. We can help you out with GTA online doing higher level missions you wouldn’t be able to play yet and whatnot.

I didn’t know I could use it for that. Well I guess I have reason to set it up at the house now.

\doesn’t game much anymore either

Yup these new consoles (I’ve had a ps2 only since that came out) are pretty useful to the non-hardcore gamers too. Any true game enthusiast will build a high end gaming pc instead anyways.

I have the R&T NFS game, it was pretty fun.

I’ve got 10 of those listed games. IMHO the pinnacle was High Stakes. Although I did enjoy the Shift series, one of the few AAA simulation games left.

And the best of the bunch is Hot Pursuit 2.

I prefer the second Hot Pursuit game. I love it.

Never played it. I also played/owned both under grounds and the newer most wanted

should be enough of explanation here:

A friend and I always play this when I go to his place, even though it’s about 13 years old now.

I have several hundred hours of playing Hot Pursuit 2 with my dad. Usually he’d take the Murcielago, and I’d take the CVPI, and I’d run him down. I remember one race where no matter what I did, I couldn’t get him stopped. Tire spikes, helicopters, NOS abuse... he beat me. He earned that one. I heard about it for 6 months.

I quite enjoyed High Stakes but keeping up on repairs to the long-tail McLaren was wallet-crushingly expensive.

Used to play Rumble Racing with my dad. Good times indeed.

There’s only three racing games I’ve been able to get Dad to play with me:

Driver (PS1)

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 (PS2)

FlatOut (PS2)

I liked it mainly for the third party mods. Custom cars and tracks. Took ages before Porsche Unleashed was modable.

Wow there is quite a variety of games there. Although a heavier focus on the arcade style and police chase stuff, i do see the simulation style ones as well. I also didn't know so many of these were on pc, I had figured they were console only. Thanks for the info!

Need for Speed is one of the few series that have almost always had PC versions.
