I can't believe the old NFS had this... 

can't believe 2015 nfs is now considered as old nfs...oh man time flies so fast

"You really think you're gonna get away with stunting out here?" _Proceeds to take a wrong turn_

Man, you know a game is old when people are starting to appreciate it.

The graphics in this game are insane. NFS Heat tried to reproduce them in night mode, but it never looked the same. When the hud is removed, the image looks like it was taken in real life at night.

what I really liked about the police in this game(despite them being really slow) and MC LA is that they don't chase you right away. It goes into a "pull over" phase and if you continue evading arrest then they initiate a pursuit.

This game has the most realistic graphics across all NFS games 😍😍

Man, even the cop's chatter is so realistic! I love the old Need For Speed games, not "Old is Gold", it's "Old is DIAMOND"!

If this is raw footage, then they were really clever with the slight green tint on the coloring. This is what our eyes also feel in real life. Green is the most received color in the spectrum of the human eye and adds more realism to a game. So many games go with 100% RGB in all spectrums, giving us a more "vibrant" feeling of the virtual world, but it doesn't feel realistic. Edit: No, i'm not saying that you can add a green tint to anything and it becomes realistic... It works really well in this clip at most of the places. Some other spots it becomes a bit too much, but the whole clip generally gives a very natural color feeling because of the color grading choice, which happens to be a slight green towards blue tint in this case. This goes mostly for concrete cities with fluorescing lights and street lights with certain types of bulbs (which is pretty much the scenario in this clip). If you did the same to a forest scenario, it wouldn't be the same. But for street lights and nighttime in a city, this color grading looks excellent. Is it done perfect? Nope. Certain things should not be affected, like the sky (obviously), so you can't just "add green" to the whole picture. Lighting has been the biggest challenge in PC gaming for decades, just look how happy people are with ray tracing that basically does the work for them, and reason being that doing it manually takes a LOT of effort and work.

8 years later and this game still looks amazing

It's so cool to see how they stop you for speeding

Its insane how good this game still looks, it must be because of the filters used on the player camera`s. New games look way to "clear" to be photorealistic. Imperfections is the secret behind photorealism is what ive experienced during my 3D modelling and 3D animation classes in college.

"The OLD Need For Speed" 🤣🤣🤣

For those wondering why the cop went on the opposite direction, it's because he paid the fine. Just incase you didn't notice.

For me, THE BEST graphics to date. Simply photo realistic!

8 years old and it still looks better than the ones that came after it, Ghost cooked with the visuals in this game

Cops: "you really thing you're gonna get away with stunting out here?"

There's a reason I still come back to it, ghost absolutely nailed the graphics using the frostbite engine, released in 2015 and it looked this good 💙

This game looks way better than many recent modern titles if you told me this game came out this year I’d believe you those reflections looked really good

i vividly remember playing this game on launch day like it was a couple years ago

they really perfected the looks by completely focusing on night lighting. it took until Unbound to get back to nearly the same level as 2015 while maintaining daytime. The handling was...interesting, but I personally liked how there were distinct characters each with their own storylines, which converged into one big racing party

This looks amazing for an "old" game. Btw, 1999 Driver also had this feature.

"Think you'll get away with stunting out here" just did 💀

Yup ...there is another feature like whenever you're in a chase, try to keep a distance from the cop then hide somewhere in dark and turn off the engine. They will hardly find your car or even detect it. It was really effective back then. Recently found it in NFS Unbound.

You could even stop and pay the 50$ ticket for doing burnouts

I see you've gotten into this game lately

In Most Wanted, if you're actually doing the speed limit and have a low heat level, the cops basically don't mind you at all, until you start speeding.

Wow this game had so much visual style.

In NFS Heat, during the day, if you honk and burnout in front of an officer, he'll give you a few warnings by turning on his lights and sirens for a second

It still looks like a masterpiece. The last ones have pro's and cons.

This nfs was amazing, so much effort went into it. It seems that after 2016 the quality of games when down a lot, just money making projects now.

I can't believe it had such great lighting and reflection quality

I still remember playing this with my friend at his place, so nostalgic, damn, time flies fast, can't believe it came out all the way back in 2015 and it's already 2023 now, it feels like it was just yesterday..

Most realistic nfs series

This game has very detailed realistic engine and exhaust sounds, this was the first thing that impressed me when i first play it. Many people maybe didn't noticed this important detail but is an important detail to notice in this game. If you play this game again and carefully listen the engine sounds in all rpm levels maybe brings you back in this game for a while and give more honor to this gem game.

actually so sick, from underground 2 to this the timeline needs to blend

Game still looks good, those reflections in the wet road look awesome

I just wish this game was longer, it was so gorgeous, and out of the newer ones it was the one that gave more ps2 nostalgia

Man this was one of the best NFS games. They did many things right but also ruined the experience at the same time with shitty mechanics and bugs like always online bs, crap servers, random player spawning etc.

bro the visuals of this game are still stunning

time flies guys, he called us dino

I find it funny sometimes how people never noticed stuff like this. The cops also had a real bad habit of literally spawning out of nowhere during chases. It had its good details and was the mpst down to earth ghost made NFS, but there were so many other things that I didn't like about it despite it being one of the few games I decided to get Platinum on

This climate in night vibes with fast drifting and good story this NFS was one of best in NFS series

Forza might be ahead of time But OG gamers knows Nfs was their Childhood dream simulator.

I just played this nfs for the first time this year. Legit one of the best ones.

I want a NFS underground remake with these graphics

This game has 2 thing that we can't have anymore: the supra and Ken Block Rip Ken Block

Here I am thinking I was gonna see MW '05 only to find out the Need For Speed revamp was considered old. I still feel like it was released last year

WOAH! That was dope, i didn't know any of the NFS had this

Nfs2015 was just real life footage

What's the song in the background? Tried to Shazam this, but it didn't work

Is it me or this game looks too good

This game was poorly recieved mostly due to EA practices such as among other things always having to be online to play it (on release, not sure about it now) and not offering a manual option (later it got patched). Nobody argued that the gameplay would be bad. Same with payback. That got ruined by microtransactions. Heat got so well recieved because it had the gameplay of NFS15 and Payback without the bullshit practices from EA.

Man, NFS 2015 is so underrated... In my opinion this is THE NFS of the last decade, everything in the game is like a rework of the old NFS games but with incredible graphics and gameplay. Still do not understand why people didn´t like it. For me felt like the old NFS games but better.

I was there for the original NFS hot pursuit. Back when you play splitscreen with your friend, one as the cop, the other as the racer.

This is the most immersive NFS game, if not the most immersive game I have ever played.

This was the best era for video games

Man this looks real life

when i saw the title i though it would be a nfs underground/undercover video, damn

Why does this game look so good. I honestly thought it was a newly released game

This was and still is a beautiful looking game using the frostbite engine

When I read 'old nfs' i was really thinking like underground 2, and then I saw the thumbnail 😂

This game would've been the perfect NFS by ghost imo, had the physics not been actual butt cheeks :(

This is still such a good game. my favorite of the new generation series, even with the wonky handling.

Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit on the PC was my first NFS game. Classic.

old nfs in your mind : hp2, u, u2, mw 05' old nfs irl:

The Ending is a portrait of what the NFS devs did instead of creating a good new NFS game.

bro baited the cop by putting his blinkers to the left and turning right

visuals is still stunning

2015 is one of my favorites in the franchise, such a unique atmosphere and style, absolutely love it. Unbound has been incredible too

nfs 2015 is one of the best in my opinion have fun man

I was playing this exact game with the same car and color as it was also my car in real life and if I looked out my window I could see it parked, miss those days.

It is crazy how insanely good looking older titles were

For me this was the last good NFS that I actually played and completed the campaign. The rest has weird graphics or is mechanically so unreal that it was meant for young kids.

If this was in Unbound, I don’t think I’d have a ton of fun. I think it’s good the way it is. I want to race but have cops sometimes. Not constantly worrying about them.

That burnout 🔥

This game is insanely underrated. Playing this with an offline mod was the best NFS experience EVER. Even better then Underground 2

Apply the UNITE mod for better experience.

9 years old and still the best looking NFS game till today. 9years old and series was already shallow in content

This was one the best to date

The cops actually made sense in this game. In Payback they’re rigged, in Heat they’re forced, and in Unbound they’re just downright annoying and cringe

I feel like every NFS had a potential but EA ruined it with something. This game may have the most potential

Omg it's been 9 years since this came out!

Most old games were focusing on the smaller details while modern ones just focus on the microtransaction. I know nfs 2015 physics was bad but it was ahead of it's time and this is Ghost's first indipendent game. Comparing to modern ones, surely it was better than what we get today. At least NFS Unbound fix on what Ghost games were trying to do before.

why does this look 100x more atmospheric than the new games?

i got this game brand new for christmas and now its 8 years old god i feel so old

"Old NFS". Dude is living in 2045.

NFS 2015 is an underrated game, well worth the playthrough, even enjoyed the cheese cutscenes (with the girl from Game of Thrones as a bonus!)

NFS 2015 had surprisingly realistic graphics for that time.

*Proceeds to see driver go right* *_GOES LEFT_*

Yes I remember nfs2, looked great on my 3dfx card 👌

O melhor nfs dos atuais

I remember back in college I wanted to play this then I forgot about it entirely, is this game worth playing right now?

*ngl but those burnouts look clean*

we not gonna talk about how the cop went in the complete opposite direction🤣. somebody need to give that man a map😂

you can see how every game's physics get worse and goofier wich each game. these physics are much better than heat or unbound.

Most wanted 2012 also had this.

This game looks way ahead of it's time

Ghost made a farewell love letter to the entire Need for Speed series

thumb nail so fresh and so clean clean

Meanwhile the cop turns the other way like wHeRe DiD hE gOoOoOo?? 🗿
