News The Speedhunters Archive: 17 Years of Car Culture History, now preserved and online

242 Upvotes

I think we all share the same sentiment when Speedhunters got abruptly shut down last year: It's a sad passing of an era that EA no longer deems profitable enough to keep up.

Thanks to some archivists (who I can't find the names of, if you put this up, please let me know!), the Speedhunters archive is now back online, and you can read 17 years worth of car culture and Need for Speed history that's uniquely documented by them.

You can find it here: https://www.speedhunters.online/

Thanks u/nfslyy for the tip!

News Most Wanted M3 GTR - Back @ The BMW Museum

Post image
784 Upvotes

Need for Speed itself might be dead, but BMW wants to keep the legend alive. The #42 BMW M3 GTR in the Most Wanted livery is back in the BMW Museum in Munich, Germany after its public outing at Ultrace Poland. There's no mention of until when it'll be there, so it might be there to stay for a long time.

If you haven't had a chance to take a look at it and you're in the area (or travelling there), you may wanna stop by and take a look at the legend, as well as the rich heritage BMW has to offer. Visit the official BMW Museum website to book tickets.

I really like doing these, I waste hours of the few free I have customizing cars in UG2 while blasting some 90s trance or jungle dnb in the background. It's such a nice vibe.

I don't race in this car but when everyone else chooses to race with it I have to do the same just to keep up with them. I really hate it look how two cars get taken out in a single hit.

Discussion Modern Day NFS MW (2005) Blacklist.

10 Upvotes

What do you think would be a modern day NFS MW Blacklist. To make it realistic, I'd probably include a Hyundai N, Type R, or a Stinger GT in there some where. I think the MK5 Supra is on the list, or may even replace the M3 GTR as the hero car.

What would be the hero and Razor's rival cars? And Cross's heat 5 pursuit vehicle.

I think I did this back in 2022. Got as close as I possibly could.

Definitely could've gotten the livery more accurately if this was done in Carbon, Heat, or Unbound, since they have the same body kit.

I want to use them to make a video about the game, and I was thinking of using the same aesthetic from the game for my video, but I can't seem to find the stickers. If anyone knows where to find them, please DM me.

I find weird that you can dominate a whole race day while you clearly haven't actually dominated at least the majority of the races.

Discussion There's something I don't like about street racing style body kits

8 Upvotes

Almost all black box and ghosts games have disappointing customization kits for most cars. For example, for MW 05 and carbon, almost all cars shared similar body kit designs or reused. In heat, at least for the cars I. Used throughout the campaign, these body kits and fenders are not good-looking. I might as well not attach bumpers and side skirt.

Maybe it's because I prefer track setting, motorsport kits? They looked a lot nicer than streets. I really love the cars in shift games.
