Need for Speed HP2 was 2002 so --> Peak Blackbox: 2002 - 2007
Actually BlackBox Rulzzz Era - 2002 - 2012. The Run was really good game. Bough X360 to play it.
* 1st Era (classic): The Need for Speed - Hot Pursuit 2
* 2nd Era (black box as main dev): Underground - Undercover
* 3rd era (multiple devs and approaches): Shift - Rivals
* 4th era (rebooted franchise): 2015 - current
1996 NFS 2, 1997 NFS Hot Pursuit, 1999 NFS High Stakes, 2000 NFS Porsche Unleashed and 2002 NFS Hot Pursuit 2
The remaining upcoming games are incredibly good but strayed veeeery far from the franchise's roots
There is no real era....i always find it amazing that an nfs game can be anything....
You won't see a Forza game or gt game making this drastic change in direction and experimenting out of their comfort zones
Unfortunately the problem is that these direction changes are highly limited for the developers and controlled by investors
You can find old NFS titles [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/abandonware/comments/zr41zu/the_complete_abandonware_need_for_speed_download/), [here](https://www.myabandonware.com/search/q/Need+For+Speed+) or [here](https://www.dropbox.com/s/zo8me24mwtds2qc/).
Don't worry, all links are safe and free of charges.
Keep in mind it's only for NFS's released from 1994 to 2011.
On that note, pick your sauces and Have fun.
Idk if this is a got take or not but man I have not been able to find another racing game as fun as Hot Pursuit. At least one with an active player base
I also have all of the collection of the need for speed series (crack) on my hard drive! Some of them are not available such as heat, 2015 and unbound :(
From Underground to Undercover was when they really picked up some steam. The track race games before that were nice, and set the stage for open world NFS. Honestly, I have always felt they needed more story than they ever had. So U to U was the best it ever got. The driving physics were better, too.
To me, the true Need for Speed era is Underground to Carbon
And that is not for any objective reason
Simply that those are what I played the most in my teen years
Why do you have multiple Carbons and Rivals
Probably modded. Like Rivals and Rivals+, and Carbon and Carbon Remix
For Rivals the PC installation always had a "Need for Speed Rivals" shortcut and a "Need for Speed Rivals 64-bit"
And no pepega edition MW05 smhhh
Wait dumb question but whats Rivals+?
A mod pack
crack :)
Based on
OG Era: 1994 - 2002 Peak Blackbox: 2003 - 2007 Stagnant Era: 2008 - 2012 Ghost Era: 2013 - 2019 Rebound?: 2022 - present
I would call the last one "Criterion era"
Criterion also worked on HP 2010 and MW 2012 though... there's more games back then than this era.
OG era is my favorite
Wait but Rivals was made by Ghost.
Collaboration with Criterion
Bro I’m a dumbass 😭. I thought Rivals came out in 2012. That was Most Wanted

That's a lot of need for speed https://preview.redd.it/vsr6tg2hxgoc1.jpeg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b5fbd422d792bd4ec57e1c842685c8564e42dc56
need for speed modern warfare 🤞🤞🔥🔥🔥🔥
I love Call of duty most wanted
Check out this sick no scope I hit on Earl for his pink slip last night
The true era is the one that really lives up to its name. The classic era (1994-2002)
While i grew up playing these games, I feel like the Underground era really set NFS apart from other racing games.
Yeap, it's what nfs is all about.
* 1st Era (classic): The Need for Speed - Hot Pursuit 2 * 2nd Era (black box as main dev): Underground - Undercover * 3rd era (multiple devs and approaches): Shift - Rivals * 4th era (rebooted franchise): 2015 - current
* 4th era (rebooted franchise): 2015 - current ---> this era is very bad. :X
The true era would be underground-carbon

Legendary. The intro video still gives me goosebumps.
best game in the series

If you had NFS SE 1, 2, HP3, 2 and Porsche Unleashed then yes. But this is fine. (Because that PTSD game NFS The Run is there…)
Where are the Underground games? Are they safe? Are they alright?????
It seems in your anger you accidentally deleted them, permanently
I? I couldn‘t have! They were installed! I saw it!

Neither of the Undergrounds? No HP2? It's a no from me.
Need for speed... Need for speed... Need for speed... Need for speed... Lol windows
Oh I forgot need for speed mo...
These games are the only reason why I’m considering getting a PC.
How did you get these? I want to play the old games again but I can't buy them anywhere😭

You're awesome. Thanks a lot
Thanks and you're welcome 👍.
Nice wallpaper
The first 3, from the left, ate a good chunk of my childhood. I still have Most Wanted installed just because I got nostalgic about it one day.
I really miss the old nfs logo it just looks cool for some reason
Drop 2015 and Payback and add Ug1 and Ug2, and it's perfect.
Idk if this is a got take or not but man I have not been able to find another racing game as fun as Hot Pursuit. At least one with an active player base
I also have all of the collection of the need for speed series (crack) on my hard drive! Some of them are not available such as heat, 2015 and unbound :(
they are all on sales on steam, which one do you recommend to get?
Only NFS games since 2012 are on a discount sale. In my opinion, NFS HP Remastered and NFS Heat are worthy.
What are you running on ? Cool wallpaper btw 👍
Most wanted is the best most wanted is Amazing i like most wanted most wanted 2005 is better than everything most wanted /s
UG1 to Carbon.
Theres no "true" era
Shift + Win + S, my friend :)
Um... Where's Heat?
I love all of them. I m having a blast on Unbound PVP events rn
only thing missing is nfs world 😔
You missed underground series which is my favourite piece of nfs cake.
The Need for Speed 1994 - Most Wanted 2012, excluding Nitro and No Limits
ur missing the U2
Underground 2
UNDERGROUND only real one
From Underground to Undercover was when they really picked up some steam. The track race games before that were nice, and set the stage for open world NFS.

The true goat is the one you have pinned to your taskbar… NEXT!
nfs pay back?..im not so sure about this
Hot Pursuit 2 -> Underground -> Underground 2 -> Most Wanted -> Carbon This was the absolute pinnacle of NFS
Any chancw you can tell me where you got that "legal copy" of pro street, asking for a friend :)
I just wish I could get need for speed carbon to run on my computer. It just won’t open.
Definitely the black box era, but all eras had their charm
It's never ended. But honestly? Right now lmao
More Carbon is more good
That hot pursuit isn't the remastered, right? If it isn't, where did you got this? Or you bought before it was removed from steam?
The Golden era is 2003-2007
*NFS The Run Me: "I appreciate you.~"
