yeah still in second place... but since my postcount is very low these days, I doubt I will ever get back to first place.

I still follow the news about NFS and read other stuff here when I can, but other then that it's not like the Underground days :)

I dont know about on here, but on VitalBMX (BMX Forum) 5k posts means they will send you a 200 dollar wheel set for free. 10k was two wheels. 15k was your choice of and forks, frame and handlebars. and 20k was a completely custom bike, any parts you pleased. Lots of people made it past 20k.

Cant believe im saying this but, NFS Underground is still one of the most fun need for speed game I ever played since nfs porsche unleashed. Judging by the gameplay from the MW2, I still think Underground is way more fun.

I don't have high hopes for MW2

by what I read and seen it looks like there is no real single player as in a story or something.

I have to agree that I Underground is one of my favorites, U2 was nice but a bit to much focussed on visual tuning with spinners and that kind of stuff.
Most Wanted was also one of my favourite NFS games of the modern series, sure there where some less good things, but the city was nice and the carlist was good (might have been nicer with all the cars from U1/2 in it also) only things I didn't like as much where the fact that the cars of the random opponents where rather riced out even the super cars, the Blacklist racers wherent that bad, sure some where ricy but not as bad as the random cars (Carrera GT with huge bodykit and roofscoops and such)
Basically after Undercover I just gave up on NFS, even the revival of Hot Pursuit couldn't get me to buy it, tried the demo and was so disapointed in how it drove was really looking forward to a classic NFS but maybe that was the biggest mistake expecting to get something as it used to instead of something completely new.

Yea those random ricers were ballistic. Had me leaghing sometimes though.

I think the new MW will bring in more fans, looks promising and it also looks like Criterion spent more time on this then NFS HP. I feel that the new HP was a breath fresh air compared to the garbage before, that why it did so well. Evem if this is not a new NFS, it will at least be a new Burnout to me, which is still good regardless. But we will have to wait and judgement day is Oct. 30th.

From the looks of the newer gameplay videos, it reminds me of NFS The Run. Disappointing.

I came across the nfs 3 intro and it sent chills up my spine along with bringing back the great memories from my childhood.

I personally think the intro of NFS II is one of the best, NFS III is nice also.

But then I also have a weak spot for Underground... liked the intro, was a lot better then Underground 2.

To me, Porsche Unleashed's intro is the best one in the whole series. The music, the cars, the scenery, everything is just perfect. :)



I watched that everytime I played the game. I even used to mimic the intro with my wheel and pedals, including opening an imaginary door like the guy driving the blue Carrera RSR. :lol: Good times...

Hot Pursuit II is also great. That music fits so perfectly... god! :D The Murciélago flashing the headlights, the Diablo cop car showing up, the "blue barbie" sentence...

Do you mean the first line of cop chatter in the intro, "Copy 31.. Turning on a speeder that just BLEW BY ME" ???

What :shock:

I always though he says "blue barbie"... not "blew by me". True, the "blue barbie" never made much sense to me, but I liked it. I thought it was some kind of code to refer to a Ferrari running away from the cops. Barbie = Ferrari; blue = cops. :mrgreen:

I guess that's what happens when you are not a native speaker. :lol: I still hear it today as "blue barbie", not "blew by me". "Blue" and "blew" can be easily misunderstood, but that "by me" really sounds like "barbie" to me. Back in those days I knew very little of English, but today after what, 14 years learning English, I still hear "barbie".

Oh well, you ruined one of my memories. That's bad, and you should feel bad about it. :D

Mondegreen: a word or phrase that is misinterpreted as another word or phrase, usually with an amusing result.

Stands true! :mrgreen: Thanks for the info, I will probably feel less stupid if something like this happens again. At least, I will have a proper excuse then. :D

Actually, you didn't ruin anything. I still hear "blue barbie", and I will probably hear that until I die. :lol:
