@TenaciousGoat need for speed heat, arcade racer with cop chases. haven't played too much of it yet but so far i like nfs unbound better. nfs hot pursuit remastered is the best nfs for gameplay period imo, but it doesn't have any of this customization.

@TenaciousGoat @rosey ^

@TenaciousGoat @rosey that's not to say it's bad, btw. i'm def enjoying it.

@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club @TenaciousGoat@merovingian.club for 10 dollarydoos i'll give it a try
i used to love the customization in the underground games, nothing i've played since has scratched that itch very well

@rosey @TenaciousGoat yeah it'll scratch that customization itch for sure. unbound is better with it but they are pretty similar.

underground isn't open world while this one is, and there are cop chases unlike underground. if you find them annoying you can always install a mod to get rid of em or make them easier.

one thing that's not as great about the newer nfs games is the soundtracks. i always end up turning them off and playing my own music instead.

@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club @TenaciousGoat@merovingian.club my favourite nfs game was probably most wanted and if i remember right (it's been a long time) that didn't have much in the way of customization
the more i hear about this the more interested i am, just too bad i won't be able to try it before bed tonight since it's downloading so slowly

@rosey @TenaciousGoat yeah think most wanted with more customization, better handling (imo), better graphics, and a much worse soundtrack lol.

@beardalaxy Man, I hope the sound track is good.

@beardalaxy Watching the video now, the 3D race track is a cool idea. HUD is rather crowded. The HUD on the left showing the car’s position is completely unnecessary.

The good stuff

(Burnout 3 Takedown gameplay)

@beardalaxy Loved burnout 3 takedown.

@TenaciousGoat oh yeah burnout was always really fun. paradise was an AMAZING game.

@TenaciousGoat i prefer the way the burnout games handle to the nfs games, generally speaking. it's just that paradise is the only modern one and i've definitely played 200+ hours of that.

i'm usually more of a zero G racer, stuff like wipeout and f-zero, but these more realistic arcade racers are fun every now and then.

one thing i can't really get into is racing sims. i think if i had a wheel and stuff i would get more into it but it's always felt really weird with a controller.

@beardalaxy There’s another arcade racer called Screamer in development it comes out 2026.

@TenaciousGoat yeah i saw that, it looks intriguing! it's on my wishlist.

apparently, it is a reboot of an older PC game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Er9ecGTA7lw

looks way different now but i am super stoked for it.

@beardalaxy I am too, I just saw that it is based on an older game.
