Honestly to me NFS Heat is a A tier NFS, definetlly the best one of the modern nfs games, so disappointed with Unbound, it was alright, but heat just did it better imo. To me, heat is so close being at S, just fix the damage system (atleast make the damage more consistent or let us take more damage to ram cops back), better soundtrack, and a longer complete story, NFS would easily get that S tier spot.

IDK man, Unbound has better gameplay regarding the second to second racing. Grip/Drift with strategies in between depending on the physics of the individual car rather than e-braking every time like you did with NFS Heat. Burst NOS which allowed for further tactical use and sense of speed, more health to actually combat the cops, they aren't a joke in Online pursuit races. Though I wasn't enamored with the singleplayer, it started strong with that intro with actual stakes and narrative twists but it completely fumbled it as it dragged out far too long. And oh, it looks FANTASTIC day and night, I really love the style too. Though that's a subjective take.

As a Brazilian, I identify a lot with the soundtrack (the producer is Brazilian). Maybe the sounds didn't connect to you, but I bet they connected with latin community which is a big if not the biggest part of Miami culture. The saddest part to me is that the game is clearly half-baked. It had a lot of potential to beat MW2005 as the best game of thr franchise in my opinion, but there's something lacking in every single feature of the game.

I remember playing nfs heat on ps4 and i think its one of the few nfs games that was pretty good, the story was good and kinda made me feel for the characters and the fact that they mixed it with racers good and cops bad was the cherry on top, the car list was pretty decent and the ranking system between day and night races was great it's pretty much risk/ reward, however the first time i played it i wasn't a fan of having aggressive cops chasing me as if they're trying to destroy my car rather than chase me and try to box me like in nfs most wanted it was kinda rough, but after some practice on the escape routes and safe zones i got the hang of it, the music was lack luster i was surprised that there's no rock music.

i don't know what but there is something in Heat, that is missing in Unbound. i mean i can't describe it but i feel it when i play the games. Heat gave me more of NFS Carbon vibes, escpacially during night racing i felt major NFS Carbon vibes, and closed circuit racing in those dock yard with containers gave me nfs prostreet vibes. so in all i feel right at home when i play Heat, Unbound..... well not so much. Now this is my opinion (if you wanna disagree plz politely do so) but Heat is one of the better NFS of this franchise it is for me in the top 10. Handling was an issue for me at times, bcz of the handling model, but over all i like it more then Unbounds Grippy handling model. Graphically i think Unbound did it better in some areas, Map wise it's a tie, both of them can be equally confusing and fun at times. Cops are superior in Heat and give of vibes of NFS MW 2005 in this re guard. if we all remember that before we knew hiding spots were a thing in need for speed mw 2005, we made strategies to avoid cops or to evade, you have to do the same in Heat. High level cop chases are extremely fun and challenging. Unbounds cops were a pain in the ass and were annoying beyond comprehension , i didn't like cops in Unbound felt boring and lazy, kinda like the cops of NFS Undercover during the early stages of the career. However even in Undercover when cops switch to Sate Cruisers , Porsche 911 Turbo's and Nissan GTR's they can give you a tough time to evade them. As for the car list both have awesome car list and the choices are vey good. NFS never disappointed in this re guard. the car lists are always good or excellent. even Undercover which was heavily panned by players and critics alike mentioned the great car list of the game Sense of speed in Heat is very good, you actually feel the car is going fast and above 200 mph feels FAST! by all accounts. Unbounds sense of speed resembles Undercover in this re guard slow and feels slow, even going above 200 mph feels okay and not well good. Heat's sense of speed camera resembles NFS Prostreet and The Shift series. Remember how the camera used to shake voilently when accelerating at neck break speeds, heat camera feels pretty similar. Overall, i would rate Heat a 7/10, the three marks that are cut are bcz of the fact that the story is short and it nds fairly quickly.. Handling sometimes feel's out of place and sometimes feels to forced. sometimes the game get's confused as you wanna drift or grip. this game made find need for speed fun and engaging again. the most fun i ever had after The Black Box era games,

I mean, it's not up to Criterion to decide that. Whether they like it or not, EA owns them & acts as their publisher. Whether a game gets updates (& how much of it) or if a new game's development is being pushed, that all depends on EA's whims. Heat was developed by Ghost btw, which for some reason, EA dissolved & merged with Criterion (probably to cut operating cost due to EA's unrealistic expectations on expenses vs profits) For instance, EA is also moving Criterion to developing Battlefield despite them being a race game developer first & foremost. Leaving Unbound on as little life support as they possibly can. The same could be said for any other game that are made by other studios owned by EA. There is a reason why C&C died. The Sims is the way it currently is, and current Bioware.. Is the way it currently is lol.

Heat had a very good base. The Physics were okay, hampered by clipping problems on Highspeed Turns, but overall decent to drive. The Story was cringe and disappointing, but the brilliant Cop Chases made up for it. Sadly there's just nothing to do after you got your desired cars and upgrades, as races are always against the same opponents and feel too repetitive. If the AI would just adapt to your car's level, that would help a lot to switch up races. And there's online. My unpopular opinion is, and it's a very spicy one, this game's community is filled with cowards. Nobody ever tries a different race, just the usual 5 races with barely any technical sections, so the fastest car usually wins. Especially the Stadium. I know it's probably also because people need to grind, but still, nobody ever joins a race, and if they do, guess what, they pull up in the RSR or another of the OP cars at 400+. Even if I start with a 200 or 300 tier car. So the online racing sucks. In Nighttime I'm usually on my own. Sometimes I see someone, but they never join a race. And I checked if they had Cops chasing them, or if their cars are competitive! Really urging to say something about the bravery of the community, or lack of it.

To comment on the game’s physics: I understand that NFS is an arcade racing game, but modern NFS including Heat has problems with it’s physics, that aren’t directly related to realism. If I had to narrow it down to 1 thing, I’d say the game doesn’t let you carry enough momentum around corners. In racing games, arcade or otherwise, fast cornering is about conserving as much momentum as possible from the start to the end of the corner. In NFS heat, as well as unbound and others, Grip handling has way too much understeer, so you have to slow down a lot more than it feels like you should. On the other hand, drift handling gives you the turning angle to make it around corners, but unfortunately, when drifting the game cuts off a lot of your speed, even if you’re not braking, so even if you have a fast entry, and the angle to make the turn, you will lose a lot of speed anyway. Other less-than-realistic racing games, including games in the NFS franchise, have had better handling models, which give you a good sense of momentum through turns. Even in ‘realistic’ games, there is a better sense of speed going around corners, because you can hold on to more momentum.

Overall I really liked the game. It felt a bit old school which is great. But some of the biggest problems that I had with it is first: I don't like how every time when I want to play a different type of race, other than the regular ones, I have to go back to the garage to change all my parts in order to drift or race off-road. Then go back again and change them so I can race in the normal races. But even worse is that when I change everything for drifting and then during the drift the police start to chase me, then it's almost impossible to lose them with the drifting gear. You just swerve everywhere all the time. Unless you know the tricks of losing the cops there is no getting away from them. It would've been nice if before every race there is an option to choose a part loadout or pre-set instead of having to go to the garage everytime (which still doesn't help with losing the cops after the race). Especially at night when you can't fast travel. Second: I really don't like when games don't give you the option to start a new game. I've played a few games like that over the years and it sucks that I have to either delete all my saves or make a new account in order to start anew. But as I said, overall, these problems aren't that big of a deal and I mostly enjoyed the game and 100 percenting it.

You can change the parts you have equipped in the pause menu any time, just go to the garage tab and hit performance. You have to own the parts, but I own all sorts of different suspension and tires so that I can switch on the go.

So recently (as of 13th of September 2023) i bought NFS Heat at a discount for like 5 euros and well for that price its definitely worth it but i do have some opinions about it: Well first lets state the fact that i did beat the campaign as of today and my max lvl car that i bough is a honda nsx at lvl 330. So my opinions on the cops are that when you start the game the moment you accidently go above heat lvl 3 you´re dead but as you get higher in lvl the start to become challenging but reasonable although yeah fighting the cops is nearly just impossible. As for the driving physics i have to disagree having handbrake , normal brake and even accelerate being use for drifting is just annoying if you don´t want to drift literally every corner even if its a very lazy and wide corner you still have to drift it if you´re going at speed. But if you have to make multiple sharp turn in close succession it just wont let you. Speaking of speed i personally hate it, anything below 130mph feels way to slow which is a problem because the stupid drift mechanics kills you´re speed and the acceleration in this game also feels non existent. The Rain is also annoying i agree. I cant comment on the soundtrack because as soon as i heard the first song play on the first cutscene i think even before i entered the game i turned it off. The story is not bad in my opinion but its not really anything of note . As for the multiplayer well yeah i cant get anybody to participate in my races, in a racing game, nobody wants to race in racing game i just dont understand it because even if i lose i still get better rewards than getting first place in solo events most of the time to me its just a win win. Also minor gripe is that even if im not driving crazy my paint gets ruined. Also edit the car selection i think kinda sucked very heavy focus on super cars and german cars dominate the selection leading to nearly every dude i see online having a porshe.

@@Brayzon Cant say before but yes cops are a defining factor of a nfs game and should be a threat at any level although i think it would be interesting if they ever brought back the old player police from nfs rivals especially if they had undercover cars and in the middle of the race one of you're opponents suddenly stars flashing those blue and red. Also just watched a review on juiced from back in the ps2 era and there are definitely some ideas worth considering like reputation and if you hit other peoples cars you lose reputation and lose access to sertain races and events or even parts and so on with different crews

@@Brayzon Also just remembered that there was a betting system that might be a good way to boost players income. Then maybe a matenance system that has you pay for repairs etc but also new NOS bottles (also from juiced) that would also create a second hand car market where playes could buy an sell cars (again also from juiced) Then just another 2 random ideas but semi conected would be to sell players custom skins for in game money and even be able to build and tune cars to sell them aswell Another idea of mine is to change the customisation options for the cars even more so it can take into account the size and weight of the vehicle but also its addons and mods, gor example: A McLaren F1 would have high performance due to its light weight and high power but very low healt and it cant install NOS or if it did would up the weight and drop a bit in other performance aspects but a land rover has a lot less performance but has a lot of auxiliary slots and high health that way they can balance out the diffrences between the clases of vehicles instead of having the super car dominate all. I think with a combination of diffrent gangs players can choose from kinda like nfs carbon ( including cops), a rep system, a noteriety system and really as many of the ideas from above i think it would be one of the most intense nfs to date and one of the best racing games ever. Also races for pink slips how could i forget those that was also a feature in juiced but expanding on this like in nfs carbon you could have those canyon races but if you crash your car its gone. And hopefully finally, sorry for the idea dump just realized how much of a wall of text i dropped on you

Just started the game a week ago here’s what I feel so far -Slightly repetitive gameplay -poor soundtrack -cops are Broken -Progression is okay -money system needs improvement -car control is fun -customization is great -drift cars suck -graphics still hold up -rep system could be better -cop AI is way too aggressive at low heat. (They’ll smash into you and increase your heat level. Wether you like it or not they’ll increase your heat and call stronger reinforcements) -setting is nice but feels a little caged in -physics are insanely unrealistic but that’s the point so W ig😅 -sound effects are amazing (I love running from cops and hearing my exhaust backfire as my character changes gears) -story mode is… meh honestly (only play is to get the yellow polestar and some money+rep -races are fun but if you’re too good you’ll be so far ahead it’s like you’re racing alone -gameplay is fun and exciting Score:8/10 great game. Just don’t take it too seriously and you’ll enjoy it through the whole ride

@Brayzon

7 ай бұрын

I like the way you say dont take it too seriously I think sometimes people do with games!

I absolutely loved the old NFS games, starting with NFS 2, but I absolutely dislike this one. Car controls are absolutely insensitive and unintuitive. If you see, you don't manage it to go through the curve at your current speed, and step off the gas, the car will instead go more straight than before (?!??). If you notice your 'mistake' (for me, this is only a mistake, since I knew it wouldn't work, but intuitively I did it again and again) and step back on the gas, the car will immediately start sliding and likely spinning. - The way to get to the race is longer then the race itself. The game's UI is strange. This game (from 2019) eats all the ressources of my brand new gaming PC! The story? I didn't buy a racing game for a story. - I won't recommend the game and I asked at Steam for refund.

They literally worried more about expressing GAY feelings in the story line than actually making the story line any good. 🤷

I loved this game when it came out, but i still have some gripes with it. I don’t like how the cop’s basically don’t exist once you reach 400+ on all your cars, even around 350 I only ever have one to two cops stay beside me then they pull back. There’s also the occasional cop who gets in front of me but he buggers off as well pretty quickly; in the beginning of the game’s life, even with a 380 car the cops stuck to me like glue and it was amazing because I actually felt scared of them converging on me like a pack of predators. But ever since the last ever update they’ve mainly been babies, and I can’t resist the urge of falling asleep with the controller in my hands, especially with how repetitive the map gets after awhile. Edit: like no joke, this game has cured my insomnia issues for all of the wrong reasons.
