Now THIS is a marvelous video. I agree 100% I love NFS 2015. The vibe, cutscenes, customization, map, wrap editor, all were spectacular. I didn't like the cop AI, or the vehicle physics, but at the end of the day, I see this game as definitely good with sooo much untapped potential. It just sucks that the servers will one day shut down, and I would never play it on my PS4.
I dont think they will shut it down. They will probably stay with this or they will give nfs 2015 a update so you dont need online! And if it would be shut down then it would probably take 10 years
Really wish this game had an offline mode. When I first learned it was always-online, I was absolutely furious, and thus refused to buy or play it, and this still remains the case, always-online=no buy, no exceptions. We already have plenty of examples of games that can't be played anymore because they required an always-online connection, and another is joining the list soon, Battlefield 1943. Shame they probably won't ever patch this, the only hope is the community cracks the DRM like they did Need for Speed World. It looks fun, but the always-online DRM is a dealbreaker, and decades from now videos like this will be all there is, while people will still be able to play Underground no matter how much time passes.
I love this game! Its not perfect, I know, but man driving at night while raining and watching those high quality (graphically) live action cutscenes (even if they're cringy) were such a vibe!
I had so many fond memories of this game and the people I discovered when everyone was excited for it. It has it's problems, but I still enjoy. Granted the Unite mod has made the game what it should've been and honestly it's made the game feel more and more replayable imo. 2015 holds a special place in my heart. Looking at Payback, Heat, and Unbound one thing that makes 2015 enjoyable for me is the map, but more importantly, Ghost did a really good job with the course layouts making the events feel more replayable. I really wished that we got a solid AI to complete the package.
I think that the community had a lot of optimism at that time so maybe thats why that period is remembered kinda fondly but everything got back to trolldespair when payback released.
Dammit I miss this, I always really liked the whole handheld, on the ground feel this game had, it really made it feel in tune with car culture, I kinda just want this again.. but better, a bigger map, better AI, ya know, map wise, I think they did great, it really nailed the LA at night vibe, I just think they should've had a downtown and some more suburbs, there's some nice fan made concept maps out there that would've been cool, they should've just stuck with this for a while longer imo. Oh also, I always liked the UI and guages in 2015 a lot, really adds to the immersion, and the map menu style, just throwing that in there. Hopefully we get a good, proper successor to this someday, I'm glad that this game was and is around though, since my dad died around the start of 2015, so games like this helped a ton, I think he would've loved it.
Aye bruh I been obsessed with 2015 recently and you helped me make that obsession even worse with that permadeath play through idea 😂, keep up the good work with the content man
I wonder if this game will die on consoles when they shut down the servers, or maybe they'll update it with an offline mode patch when that time comes.
The moment I fell in love with this game was when I bought a Huracan, put elite upgrades and the GT3 body kit on it, and heard that beautiful V10 roar as it left the garage.
I still love this game so much, this and forza motorsport 4, horizon 1 as well. I was a huge forza guy and a work friend recommended this game to me, played it for like an hour and hated it then i picked it back up in 2019 and realized how amazing the game really is, the car roster couldve been a bit better but each car feels quote unique and the engine/turbo sounds are unmatched
having Toyota in this game sure does give this game some justification it deserves, which is hardly surpising considering Toyota's attitude towards racing games that's isn't Gran Turismo these days
i have put over 400 hours into NFS 2015 and that is for one reason and one reason only. all i have ever wanted in all these years was underground 3 and this is as good as im going to get so i will play and replay this game more then likely for years to come its just that good
haha you're not alone brother. underground and most wanted is all we want and tbh its just a matter of time. they're releasing the new pimped out mw this year , so the real underground games should come back too
I've never played it, but underground 1 was my favourite NFS. Out if the new ones, which is worth playing most? They're all on sale atm, wondering which I should get.
@@snoweh1 Well my opinion is pretty obvious but it would depend on what you want from the game if police chases are what you are looking for get NFS heat. if like me casual street racing hanging out with your group of friends and customizing your car is your thing NFS 2015 is your jam if having multiple cars each built for different surface's a story that takes itself seriously is your thing then pay back is your game at least that is my call on it
@@BackoftheL Don't care about police chases, story, or different surfaces, so sounds like 2015 might be for me. Thanks. Where does Unbound fit into all of this?
@@snoweh1 its a different beast all unto itself made by a different developer in my opinion cheesy story crappy visual affects i personally dont think its worth your time
For me i think the best thing about nfs 2015 is the night setting blending up with the graphics it looks realistic and the driver protagonist gets a cool conclusion to his story
I wanna play this again SO badly but my PS5 says the servers are down??? I can play it on my Xbox One for some reason but I really really wanna play on PS5 cause I'm so close to the platinum trophy. Has anyone been able to figure out how to play this game on Playstation in 2023????
I've played all four Ghost NFS games back-to-back with my EA Play subscribtion, there's really nothing that could leave a stronger impression than 2015's soothing LA street lights and silly but realistic cutscenes. There's really no nostalgia goggles speaking here when I've missed out two console generations until recently when I had a new PC to play these games
My only gripe with 2015 is only two things. Always online and everysingle car shifting like they have dual clutch gearbox. The game itself is rock solid, though.
agree, NFS 2015 I guess has the best graphic among all NFS series including Unbound. Also the physics just rocks especially the driftin gpart when camera shows the side tires. This feature just killing, no any other nfs has that joy ) @@CraptasticJack
Hated it. Good graphics and vibe, but the intrusive gameplay with wieird physics and auto steering, boring City and boring sountrack and non sense difficulty spikes... bah... Had much more fun with Payback...
2015 games were just amazing. Batman Arkham Knight Need For Speed 2015 What else? I don't know any other 2015 games since these were the only two I have played from that time. Oh yeah also Call of Duty Black Ops III was pretty alright plus visually some of the maps looked amazing in both zombies and multiplayer.
Nobody talking about how this game needs more visual cues on the races, I keep getting off track and have to be constantly looking at the GPS, not fun. But I love the driving, wish the physics were like in the originals, cars flying 😂 that was fun
The only thing I don't like is the AI cops. I hoped they would release an update to improve the AI intelligence. If the cops were like Rivals or Heat, omg 2015 would be a 11/10 for me. I still play 2015, and Heat alongside Crew Motorfest👍
Sliding through the canyons, hitting max speed on the freeway and playing with cops (although they suck, at least they indestructible, also more damage = more money after escaping). good times.
2015 is really divisive for me. Some of my first memories with this game were literally me being frustrated I couldn’t play the game. Just to make it clear I had very bad, very unstable internet connection back then. So bad I was literally arguing with my dad that we needed better internet and he was basically telling “it fine, stop being a brat”. Couple this with bad physics and me having a lack of understanding with tuning. It was probably one the worst experiences with a nfs I’ve had(not exaggerating). Even then though it sort of revived my interest in the series. Like you said the immersion and atmosphere was good. It was cringy for sure but that’s the point right. You’re going to be uncomfortable if you were actually living out those moments. They did a good job as much as people shit on it. Up till 2015 I wasn’t really heavy into customization. Since that wasn’t where the series was during the PS3 era and I was a big fan of hot pursuit. During the PS2 era I was more about it but nothing like now. Now I spend hundreds of hours just racing(making money) and customizing cars. So it tough saying 2015 is totally trash when it’s the soul reason the series is where it’s at and can spend my time how I do. In more recent years I’ve gotten more jaded and frustrated with the series and apart of it is because of 2015. Just the amount of progress they made from rivals to 2015 while still trying to get there feet planted was crazy tbh. Compare that kind of progress to now and the series feels weirdly stagnant. Stagnant isn’t the right word it’s more like it’s always touch and go. We gain new content and features but we lose quite a bit too. I don’t know where I’m going with this… I guess that despite the down sides I sort of respect 2015 because the series wouldn’t be what it is without it. Even if the series has kinda lost it’s way, the core is still there.
@@CraptasticJack Always online just sucks for games like nfs. Especially if you paid money for the game. Back then it especially sucked since 2015 was quite literally my only game when I got my PS4 initially. Now it also lumes over me that 2015s servers will shut down one day making it unplayable(at least until someone decides to create an alternative to get the game running). Tbh that’s apart of the reason why I don’t play 2015 much. It just feels wasted if I continue playing it. Which isn’t right, I think it should be looked at more as being a friend you spend time with until they’re really gone. You know with a friend you don’t just cut them out your life bitter, you’re supposed make the most of it right? Maybe I’m being pretty vague… again 2015 is divisive. Some of my first memories with it were the worst but some my last have been some of the best.
i really wish they release an offline patch for it's 10 year anniversary and add some fixes like the handling and AI i know this is a lot to ask but at least the offline patch to preserve the game would be nice.
People love it because of nostalgia and the current nfs games are underwhelming for others but at the time nfs 2015 was released it is the most hated next gen need for speed because of bugs and goofy car handling
Need for speed 2015 was my first game not my favorite but heat is my favorite switching between night and day when you want too is just super nice payback was the worst in my opinion
I played this game at the beggining of the year and absolutely loved It. I have to agree that the gameplay is not the most sophisticated, but the immersion in the underground street racing scene was unmatched by any other racing game
oh yeah i remember the first time when i watched it , i was super excited , also i think there was a post of them saying the new era and new reboot was about to begin , this one is the 5th era if I'm right
The Best NFS in my opinion Nfs carbono Nfs 2015 Nfs Unbound I dont get why Unbound gets so much hate if its so fun to play ands looks damn good not like NFS 2015 but It looks great. I think the next NFS has to be a combination of 2015 and Unbound thatd be craaazy
I just unbond heat and NFS 2015 while on sale just of late. I played Heat for the mediocrity and it was nice. I really wanted to love unbound since im a asap rocky fan and i love anime. BUT THE GAME JUST PISSED ME OFF AT EVERY CORNER LITERALLY. i returned unbound after 2 hiurs of trying to love the game. And when i played NFS 2015 on PC i was so angry that i had to figure out the controls for a bad PC port but i rather deal with issue and the cringy cutscense than to play unbound. NFS has its own personality even with thr dumb AI and hard to master physics.
I love how you can still interact with pther players online. Love it. The customisation as well it lacks them underground 2 but still extremely creative the stickers too ahaha ❤
This game was oozing in style!!! I decided to redownload it for the nostalgia and the physics slapped me square in the face. Yuck. ( I am yet to try the brawltendo mod...I haven't given up on this game yet)
It looked awesome and it was pretty drift focused in my opinion. That's what made by far the most fun. And don't call that 2021 piece of trash " a new Most Wanted", because it was NOWHERE NEAR what people want or wanted. 😭
I bought the game way back when in 2015 and here I am back in 2024 buying the game again. This time im buying it for nostalgia and because Ken Block has a Cameo
Major respect, you said everything the way i was bro. This game was and is the best modern N4S. Unbound is a troll game, they used the same police sounds as 2015, the broken speedometer is the same as 2015. Criterion is a 🤡 they copy and pasted a lot from 2015 and degraded the graphics for cartoon bs. 2015>unbound
NFS 2015 was cool and one of the first games i got for my PS4. it looked cool, car selection was nice, handling was...weird but i got adjusted to it. i think it had the action cam on by default, which i hated, but you could at least change it. i liked the online high scores, always seeing if you beat your friends after a race. had a shitty internet connection at that time, which made the always online requirement very obvious and felt very unnessary. it ran at 30 FPS which is a huge downside for racing games in my opinion. i don't remember the story at all, but i remember i got the lamborghini aventador pretty early and after some upgrades, any race wasn't even a challenge. it was even great for the drift events. nothing like what made me love underground 2, constantly trying different cars and upgrading multiple at a time for different race types. this game was far from perfect, but looking back at it - it was a promising reboot and i didn't expect the following titles to keep the bad stuff and become even worse in other aspects, like gambling for upgrades in payback. didn't even bother to try heat or unbound and i don't feel like i missed anything
the graphics of the game when it was launched almost 8yrs ago was somewhat like not for that era and up until now the graphics of NFS 2015 is much better than NFS unbound (in my opinion). I am glad that I would still be able to play it on PS5.
I play it right now just because of the prestige list. Never hated a game so much like this befor. Ununderstantible drift phiscs with a great taste of magicle oversterring. Entering in to a drift by pressing gas + break is like flipping a coin.
The few things I dislike about NFS 2015 is: the fact it's all supposed to take place in 1 night or a very short time period, the fact it's always raining _(which I guess if it's one night, that makes sense),_ zero steering wheel support (which was nice cause everyone was on the same playing field but with it's looks, steering wheel would've been much more entertaining). The real life cutscenes were, like always, trash but they were a nice addition. The rubberbanding was horrendous though.
eyo u can tell me what u want what ever if u dont like payback ok buut payback definitely had the best map in a nfs ever the offroad was closed up in the mountains and canyons and the city oah i loved it u could drift sooo cool through some times up to 3 layers of roads. man i wished they would bring a map like this back
Man, I remember pre ordering this game as a kid and loving it. However, coming back to it as much as the atmosphere feels like a Blackbox Era NFS game, it aged like milk thanks to the poor physics engine, AI, it being always online, no separate customization like My Cars, and a Challenge Series. I could deal with less features but the physics and it being always online mainly was this games achellis heel especially for the Drift and Touge races.
Love what you said about adding immersion too. Ive never done the perma death but i always forfeit a race and usually move onto a different car - if i get crash camera'd. Ill also change up paint and vinyl side graphic if i get into a long heated police chase. Definiely adds tension when you up the stakes like that. I so wish there were pink slip races in this game
A new era that was already implemented way back just like the *New* cod game that was suppose to be a dlc OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED then reverts back and releases a full pledged game $70 FUCING DOLLARS??? Suuure, whatever you say physics in need for speed never was truly intended to be realistic however more of a believable physics " ARCADE " racing game... KEY WORD ARCADE, any nfs fan knows its not realistic, thats what other racing games called "SIM" are known for. fail on so many levels.
And what do u mean by benchmark? There were only rain and dark cop npc's are awful no cars from to choose from, small map. Whats good about the game is just the cringe cutscenes and that there is Ken Block
why loved 1 i own it on steam 2 i play it with a race wheel what makes drifting verry easy and fun 3 the drifting the action the story everything is good about this game
I agree this NFS is the staple in the entire series. It gave NFS Underground, Mosted Wanted, and Carbon vibes all at once. I think if they fix the things like you mentioned your video and then bring back the storylines from previous titles before this back into the next one would be super cool. Honestly I feel they should bring back the racing styles from Underground, MW, Carbon, and Pro Street for one last time just for us 25+ year old crowd just to see where the community sits.
I still feel sad to this day on the lost potential of this game. I think EA should definitely do an anniversary update of the series on this game even if it's not the current one. It deserves that.
🔴 I beat Need for Speed Underground in 2024 with the WORST CAR! th-cam.com/video/OKwrJu5YmWI/w-d-xo.html
i still dont understand why the graphics in 2015 are more photo realistic than the last 3 games on console
Same
Unbound has insane photo realistic graphics
Because they use alot of noise in the graphics
@@10MinutesofGameplayin my opinion they were quite clever with the art style to make the game look good
It ain't photorealistic. It's nicely crafted to look cinematic and it delivers.

You know with a friend you don’t just cut them out your life bitter, you’re supposed make the most of it right?
Maybe I’m being pretty vague…
again 2015 is divisive. Some of my first memories with it were the worst but some my last have been some of the best.
i really wish they release an offline patch for it's 10 year anniversary and add some fixes like the handling and AI i know this is a lot to ask but at least the offline patch to preserve the game would be nice.
People love it because of nostalgia and the current nfs games are underwhelming for others but at the time nfs 2015 was released it is the most hated next gen need for speed because of bugs and goofy car handling
Need for speed 2015 was my first game not my favorite but heat is my favorite switching between night and day when you want too is just super nice payback was the worst in my opinion
I still have this game installed on my Xbox
Same! Never Uninstalling it
@@CraptasticJack I’m not because I go back sometimes for a little nostalgia run.
@@CraptasticJackwe should organise a meet in the game
What? No
I played this game at the beggining of the year and absolutely loved It. I have to agree that the gameplay is not the most sophisticated, but the immersion in the underground street racing scene was unmatched by any other racing game
oh yeah i remember the first time when i watched it , i was super excited , also i think there was a post of them saying the new era and new reboot was about to begin , this one is the 5th era if I'm right
Amazing is my favorite game for my PS5!!😊🎉❤
The game is all racing. Even after the campaign, there’s still things to do.
I loved this game idk why but its just one of those games i feel comfort playing
Because they actually got the multi-player right, AT LAUNCH
Tbh the netcode was terrible lol.
i was 13 at that time. I am now 22. Crazy how time goes by
This man is valid
Thx!
This game is turning 10 and still passing the car culture vibes!
My favorite nfs but sadly I got a ps5 and it doesn't work that good on that so I got unbound..
If only the drift detection/automation was fixed, it would have been a very enjoyable arcade experiencie all around.
I agree that this game is rad
It's just unfortunate that it's not crossplay
They should make a nfs that just expanded the map.
The Best NFS in my opinion
Nfs carbono
Nfs 2015
Nfs Unbound
I dont get why Unbound gets so much hate if its so fun to play ands looks damn good not like NFS 2015 but It looks great. I think the next NFS has to be a combination of 2015 and Unbound thatd be craaazy
Yeah Unbound gets too much undeserved hate.
Because the shamelessly cheesy story absolutely kicked ass is why. For me anyways
Get the Subaru. Very versatile at middle tuning.
NFS heat is probably the best one since most wanted
First! W video. Gg.
Because we have supra and Toyota in it
Why don't I know this NFS?
How many times is he gonna say 2015
To me some people cant accept change
Bro, what the he|| is a "fever dream?"
I just unbond heat and NFS 2015 while on sale just of late. I played Heat for the mediocrity and it was nice. I really wanted to love unbound since im a asap rocky fan and i love anime. BUT THE GAME JUST PISSED ME OFF AT EVERY CORNER LITERALLY. i returned unbound after 2 hiurs of trying to love the game. And when i played NFS 2015 on PC i was so angry that i had to figure out the controls for a bad PC port but i rather deal with issue and the cringy cutscense than to play unbound. NFS has its own personality even with thr dumb AI and hard to master physics.
I literally replayed the game already 2 times just THIS year 😂 and I’m probably gonna start the third playthrough in 2023 in a couple of days 😂
I love how you can still interact with pther players online. Love it. The customisation as well it lacks them underground 2 but still extremely creative the stickers too ahaha ❤
Bro i found many Bugs on it .. I installed it today, It has controller bugs, Texture dissappearing Bugs..etc
This game was oozing in style!!! I decided to redownload it for the nostalgia and the physics slapped me square in the face. Yuck. ( I am yet to try the brawltendo mod...I haven't given up on this game yet)
I just wish this game had a campaign. . WTF The best NFS game since MW yet it's fucked up by not having a campaign!
Payback was DOG SHIT
Heat is okay
2015 is definitely my game, just wish it was kinda like the crew where you have more open spaces.
It looked awesome and it was pretty drift focused in my opinion. That's what made by far the most fun.
And don't call that 2021 piece of trash " a new Most Wanted", because it was NOWHERE NEAR what people want or wanted. 😭
I bought the game way back when in 2015 and here I am back in 2024 buying the game again. This time im buying it for nostalgia and because Ken Block has a Cameo
Major respect, you said everything the way i was bro. This game was and is the best modern N4S. Unbound is a troll game, they used the same police sounds as 2015, the broken speedometer is the same as 2015. Criterion is a 🤡 they copy and pasted a lot from 2015 and degraded the graphics for cartoon bs. 2015>unbound
NFS 2015 was cool and one of the first games i got for my PS4.
it looked cool, car selection was nice, handling was...weird but i got adjusted to it. i think it had the action cam on by default, which i hated, but you could at least change it.
i liked the online high scores, always seeing if you beat your friends after a race.
had a shitty internet connection at that time, which made the always online requirement very obvious and felt very unnessary.
it ran at 30 FPS which is a huge downside for racing games in my opinion.
i don't remember the story at all, but i remember i got the lamborghini aventador pretty early and after some upgrades, any race wasn't even a challenge. it was even great for the drift events.
nothing like what made me love underground 2, constantly trying different cars and upgrading multiple at a time for different race types.
this game was far from perfect, but looking back at it - it was a promising reboot and i didn't expect the following titles to keep the bad stuff and become even worse in other aspects, like gambling for upgrades in payback. didn't even bother to try heat or unbound and i don't feel like i missed anything
the graphics of the game when it was launched almost 8yrs ago was somewhat like not for that era and up until now the graphics of NFS 2015 is much better than NFS unbound (in my opinion).
I am glad that I would still be able to play it on PS5.
I play it right now just because of the prestige list. Never hated a game so much like this befor.
Ununderstantible drift phiscs with a great taste of magicle oversterring.
Entering in to a drift by pressing gas + break is like flipping a coin.
The few things I dislike about NFS 2015 is: the fact it's all supposed to take place in 1 night or a very short time period, the fact it's always raining _(which I guess if it's one night, that makes sense),_ zero steering wheel support (which was nice cause everyone was on the same playing field but with it's looks, steering wheel would've been much more entertaining).
The real life cutscenes were, like always, trash but they were a nice addition. The rubberbanding was horrendous though.
The Vibe is right
Watched this video. Downloaded nfs2015 again. Fuuu i love this game
eyo u can tell me what u want what ever if u dont like payback ok buut payback definitely had the best map in a nfs ever the offroad was closed up in the mountains and canyons and the city oah i loved it u could drift sooo cool through some times up to 3 layers of roads. man i wished they would bring a map like this back
Man, I remember pre ordering this game as a kid and loving it. However, coming back to it as much as the atmosphere feels like a Blackbox Era NFS game, it aged like milk thanks to the poor physics engine, AI, it being always online, no separate customization like My Cars, and a Challenge Series. I could deal with less features but the physics and it being always online mainly was this games achellis heel especially for the Drift and Touge races.
Love what you said about adding immersion too. Ive never done the perma death but i always forfeit a race and usually move onto a different car - if i get crash camera'd. Ill also change up paint and vinyl side graphic if i get into a long heated police chase. Definiely adds tension when you up the stakes like that. I so wish there were pink slip races in this game
As somone who grew up with underground 1,2, carbon and the real most wanted (2005) i actully like this game, dont much like the newer ones.
A new era that was already implemented way back just like the *New* cod game that was suppose to be a dlc OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED then reverts back and releases a full pledged game $70 FUCING DOLLARS???
Suuure, whatever you say
physics in need for speed never was truly intended to be realistic however more of a believable physics " ARCADE " racing game...
KEY WORD ARCADE, any nfs fan knows its not realistic, thats what other racing games called
"SIM" are known for. fail on so many levels.
And what do u mean by benchmark? There were only rain and dark cop npc's are awful no cars from to choose from, small map. Whats good about the game is just the cringe cutscenes and that there is Ken Block
i realy like the grafics in that game but i hated that i couln't use my G25 Steering wheel in that game
why loved 1 i own it on steam
2 i play it with a race wheel what makes drifting verry easy and fun
3 the drifting the action the story everything is good about this game
I agree this NFS is the staple in the entire series. It gave NFS Underground, Mosted Wanted, and Carbon vibes all at once. I think if they fix the things like you mentioned your video and then bring back the storylines from previous titles before this back into the next one would be super cool. Honestly I feel they should bring back the racing styles from Underground, MW, Carbon, and Pro Street for one last time just for us 25+ year old crowd just to see where the community sits.
I still feel sad to this day on the lost potential of this game.
I think EA should definitely do an anniversary update of the series on this game even if it's not the current one. It deserves that.
