Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed Pc Cheats
Consuelo Dular
When I was 7, my dad brought home a copy of Need for Speed 2:SE. The first real connection I ever had with cars was through bouncing a black McLaren F1 off the Proving Grounds track walls. Eventually I moved on to the incredibly moddable NFS 4: High Stakes, which introduced me to the import scene via the community over at nfscars.net. I blame those early games for every ounce of my addiction to cars. They had the best music, too.
I think it was one of the first racing games I ever played. I think I started with NFS II and went from there. Although anything after Underground kinda went downhill and I stopped after that. But all the NFS games before that were epic, and consumed most of my childhood. Whenever I think of NFS, I think way back to what I think was Hot Pursuit 1 and there was a secret car. I can't remember the name, but it was some type of tropical storm. That is always the first thing to pop into my head.NFS also taught me how to pronounce Aston right.
Now I can't even find that secret car, so maybe it's a different game altogether? I don't know, but still, all NFS games from Underground on down were awesome.
Need for Speed Porche Unleashed was the first N4S game that i had a really proper rig to play. I was finally able to turn effects up all the way and I even went so far as to buy a PC steering wheel and pedals. I really thought I was learning to drive high end cars since nothing had ever looked that good. God save Canary Yellow 911
EricSeanDelaney My man, exactly. My top choice has to be NFS Underground 2 with the crazy neon lights, tacky sound systems or even the nitrous purge that came in multiple colours... It was a really good investment back in the day and I spent many hours on this game.
On the other hand, the most recent NFS products were abysmal especially for PC users who kept getting badly optimised ports with a few or no innovations. Let's be realistic though. It is not easy to get a decent product when u get a new title every single year. It has been unanimous for years that people want NFS Underground 3, but we are deprived from the privilege of getting a well developed game and not another Hot Pursuit title.
I was always addicted to car racing games (Stunts, Test Drive, Car and Driver were some of the early titles). I must admit though, the NFS games kept the arcade feel fun (except for Shift... that style of gameplay was better performed by the Grid titles from codemasters).
I played my 1st NFS when I was 4, my dad bought it for me. I can clearly remember the McLaren F1, and the videos who made me so crazy about cars, that made me study what I study today, and what I'll be doing in the future. I think all the Need for Speed games were very good, the worst ones like Undercover were at least better then any other one at the moment. I will never forget NFS III Hot Pursuit, NFS Hot Pursuit 2, Underground and U2, Pro Street and more recently Shift 2 Unleashed. I love Need for Speed, because it introduced me to car culture.
The old ones were cool but they're too arcadey to play for long. Take Gran Turismo's JDM heavy car list, visuals and handling, add Forza's sounds and modifications and DON'T charge a crazy amount for DLC. Perfect car game.
Started with NFS II SE, but it was the new-and-exciting NFS Hot Persuit that got me hooked. Anyone remember the great jump on the alpine course (if driven backwards)? Loved the cheater cars..... the cardboard box, x-wing, ice-cream truck, etc.
Definitely not the first game to feature real cars, Test Drive had been doing that since the 80s. It was the killer graphics, video descriptions of the cars of which there were a lot for the time and physics that enabled cars to actually drive like real cars (ie lock up brakes, slide around on corners) that made it so revolutionary!
That wasn't even the first version. The original came out for a system few remember today, the Panasonic 3D0. It was one of the first gaming systems to use optical discs, and cost a whopping $399.99 in 1993/4 dollars. I saved my birthday cash, xmas cash, and everything I earned an entire summer mowing lawns, doing other chores, and helping old people with crap. I walked into waldensoftware at the mall, pointed to the 3D0, and plunked down all the cash on the counter. I remember walking out of the mall, and other kids were pointing and in awe. It didn't have a lot of games, but then this game came out... oh my god.
There were only three courses, and if I remember correctly, three tracks on each. You had to beat this douchebag that just lent you all his supercars, the radar detector was borderline realistic, and my favorite quote was "Wow. Man and steel. Becoming one. You waxed my ass, congratulations".
I hated that guy... but I loved beating him. The newer games are fun, but I think they missed out on that guys personality; he was so annoying you really wanted to beat him. After that, the games largely went downhill and got arcadey... which sucks. Hence why I switchted to Gran Turismo, then Forza.
i feel strongly that the new NFS should be more tuner friendly whilst delivering the thrill of pursuits, more creativity to modify cars like Forza while being totally able to free roam in a beautiful city and have street races and circuits to race too...just spitballing as a avid gamer and mechanic...
Hello,
Mike, You are not even close about the " first racing game to feature real cars".
You can find the PC Game "Stunts" from 1990 : _%28video_game%29
It was pretty cool back then, with the real dashboard and stuff ... plus name another game where you can drive the Lambo LM002 4x4 ?
Original Need for Speed was by far most enjoyable because it was unique. It had a perfect blend of realism and fun, which no other racing game at the time, and unfortunately no other NFS game since then could match. I congratulate the franchise with this anniversary, but I do this with hopes that the developers will deliver the game with depth and balance that all enthusiasts want.
One of my first racing games was Need for Speed II (Not the special edition!) on the PC. It was a blast! I never quite got the hang of braking before turning (I was that young lol) but you know. My favorite part of the game was actually the car, track, and manufacturer showcases with the man's voice giving us facts and telling stories. It made every car feel important and real, and much more satisfying to drive! The speech about the McLaren F1 still gives me the shivers.
"Need For Speed" was the very first game I played on PC. The cars on the cover design caught my eye (Porsche 993 Turbo and Ferrari 550 Maranello).
I've played every single NFS title, except for the latest 3 (The Run, Most Wanted 2012 and Rivals) because my PC's specs aren't up to par.
First NFS I played was NFSII with the Ford GT90 Concept.
But I have to agree with most here, Underground series was good, Carbon was GREAT! Shift, not amazing. Shift 2, Great.
Haven't even bothered to play another one since then!
Great memories from NFSU2 (imo the best entry in the series)
- learning about car tuning and driving by playing NFSU2 as a kid
- seeing the "Corolla" in there, thinking it probably sucks, watching Initial D, realizing it is an AE86, then trying it, only to find out it is actually the fastest cornering car in the game by far
- as long as you don't take 'blueprint the block' upgrade, engine sounds already better than those of GT6
Not so great memories from NFSU2:
- even though there are S2000 files in the game's folder, you can't actually play it in the game
- steering wheel driving physics are actually realistic, but someone forgot to program force feedback for losing grip by accelerating, it works for side forces though (weirdly)
Anyone else noticed that SH is becoming one infomercial? Look down the bottom of the main page and you will see the copyright information for the website - EA Games. The guys should at least take a nod to the fact that they are simply spruiking/advertising.
Love the site and SH content, could do without the amount of ads we're getting lately.
Need for Speed game I remember had a cockpit mode but I don't remember which one it was but I do recall driving the Lamborghini or Corvette quite a bit using the arrow keys on the keyboard and I was a terrible driver lol
The next NFS speed game I spent nearly 200 hours on was NFS Shift 2 Unleashed, I pretty much did every event in the game but my favorite car had to be Mad Mike's 3 Rotor FC3S that thing turned into a beast once you hit the 3rd/4th gear. I also spent a fair bit of time trying unofficial mods to change the way the cars handled but also dug into some of the files to see what gear ratios the cars were using, how much camber they used etc
I also raced on the Nordschleife quite a bit with every car but I'd always crash or wipe out near the Karrussel
Only other NFS game I played were NFS The Run, Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted these were pretty fun to play but I think I lost interest too fast. I drove like a mad man in Most Wanted literally taking the Egoist GT-R and smashing the Rhino units into walls or off a highway.
HolySteel I just remember making a Infiniti G35 sound like the meanest car ever in that game, with Yellow NOS jetting out of the hood.The game wasn't the most fun to play (I've honestly really enjoyed the mountain passes in the Run and Rivals), but it was the most memorable for the tuning. I agree that GT5 / GT6 never came close to the glory of engine and exhaust notes from that game!
Had every game since the original, being on different platforms. The first 3 games on P.C, the the next few on PS1-2. Now I'm an X-box fan boy. Being an aussie I can't help going past the first time playing 'High Stakes'. Having a Ford Falcon GT and a Holden HSV GTS I almost died in joy......and i was only 10ish and does anybody remember that hot rod cheat car with the "OH YEAH'' horn? lol Yes EA needs to make another 'Shift' and yes EA needs to make another 'Underground' but I'm also looking forward to seeing what they can do different as well. Just don't make another 'Cops vs Racers' game please!! The last few games have been getting boring.
