One of that makes these games so good is indeed the soundtrack, just having 1 option/genre of songs can and WILL get bland and repetitive fast, having more options like rock, pop, electronic, etc, makes the game more enjoyable for more people with different song tastes and gives more options for people, 2 games I always love the soundtracks are GTA 5 and Burnout, GTA has so many Radios in game with each one having a different style, making it really diverse (Radio Rock Los Santos, West Coast Classics, The Lab, Non-stop pop), and Burnout goes even deeper, it sure has I great amount of rock songs, but it also included pop ones and SURPRISINGLY Classic Musics.
alright tbf, hp2 also has a pretty same-y ost, though i guess some of the original non-licensed songs make up for it a little, still a great soundtrack to me
kinda reminds me of how Saints Row did the radio music, although by the 4th game they've had the same 6 stations with most of the songs being kinda meh compared to GTA V where you get some really good music that actual human beings have listened to.
@@donfunado2241 Neither game being very well known. Compared to... Burnout Paradise Forza Horizon Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) Midnight Club 3 rock brings adrenaline which enhances that feeling of "fast".
That’s because Every song in HP2 honestly sounded like it belonged in the game. Every other game would at least have a few random Lofi songs that would randomly start playing in the middle of the race, lofi just doesn’t fit racing game imo.
There are few Songs that i dont like even in older NFS but the difference is: Its only few songs not half of the playlist like in Unbound and in older NFS games you could at least adjust the playlist to your likings. Some songs in Unbound will even haunt me in my nightmares or in hell.
It really made the scene and atmosphere like it's an actual public event, like a festival or a concert, except with cars. It's great. We need to legalize street racing now.
The sad part about this is that people today will call you a boomer for liking the old nfs ost and make some excuses like (oh you weren't born when they made these songs you just like it because you're an old head) but in reality you're just glad you listened to them and appreciated it
@@hendrxsome of us like to listen to adrenaline inducing music in our racing games, it doesn't have to be 2000's metal, it can be the current stuff. What sucks is when soundtracks are boring af.

Car sounds and echoes play big fator too. It has best camera work, sounds in the series. In terms of intesity only NFS The Run and MW2012 come close(the run is just batshit crazy with how loud cars are, and MW2012 has amazing engine sounds and way it plays them plus excellent tunnel echoes).

It's not worth your time. If you go through it too fast, your car will either flip over from the jump or slam into the wall once you leave the shortcut.
If you're going downhill, just make sure your steering is centered before you go over the jump.

Always take the inside part, the outside part of the shortcut has walls that you will hit and trigger the AI's rubberbanding.
Everything from 2012 + feels like a job and not a something to escape from reallity. I still remember UG2, MW, Carbon soundtracks while i was doing high speeds with 350Z + other cars and singing along
MW 2012 had a great soundtrack. Icona Pop, Muse, Chemical Brothers, Band of Skulls or even the Baba O'Rilley remix were all perfect picks. The game was also overhated looking at what we got after it

out of all of the modern ones, Heat i remember had a decent soundtrack. but the whole 2000s era was just too consistent, almost every song hit different. its no wonder why we're stuck in nostalgia
Let’s not forget about 90s era NFS which had not only awesome original music courtesy of Saki Kaskas and Rom Di Prisco but even had a few licensed songs by Junkie XL, The Experiment, and Lunatic Calm. Hell, Undercover which was considered by many to be the weakest entry had one of series’ best soundtracks as a redeeming quality. I’d play Undercover over Unbound just for the music.
Always interested me that there was an option in NFS Carbon that only played electronic music when you drove Japanese cars, rock and metal when you drove American cars, and rap when you drove European cars
Based on class not where it was from. Ford gt. American car. Classed as exotic. Vauxhall Monaro. British car. Classes as muscle. Etc Also the exotic music was mostly a subgenre called grime. Which was predominantly from the UK
Going Down On It is engraved into my brain because of that intro with the Police Lambo But I have tons of nostalgia for the original Most Wanted soundtrack.
Alright, I laughed quietly out loud when you showed Most Wasted. _Of course_ it is Decadence. hahaha I mean I do love that song, but I do agree the memes make too much use of it, despite MW having many, many other incredible songs.
Not gonna lie to this day I'm willing to openly claim that Underground 2 and Most Wanted was the peak of the NSF series. Don't get me wrong there were good entries after these two but to this day not a single one of them was as fun as those two. I said it for years give me an NFS with the driving of Most Wanted, the car tuning options of Underground 2 with modern graphics and I might the first time in my life consider pre-ordering a game.
You know i never got when people said stuff like "Yea so they make you feel speed by adding a shit load of effects and camera shake to it, bad game" Like that's literally what made it feel great. I don't know why it's a bad thing now to make people feel like they are going fast in a literal racing game.
Nfs pro street is probably my favourite soundtrack in a nfs games there are so many songs I love in it. I never listen to it and play driving games though because I'm way too tense. The music is like a memory of great times but also huge stress from those speed events.
i dunno why, but Underground 1 and Most Wanted are only 2 NFS games where you can feel speed. Maybe its tracks with sharp turns, maybe its effects, maybe its camera shake and lense. But in other NFS games there are 300km/h on speedometer and it feels and loosks like driving speed limit
Dude NFS 1 to Porsche Unleashed had some badass Metal and Trance soundtracks that fit the races very well I won so many races listening to Celtus 808 in NFS 3.
EA should use older songs or make some spotify integration shit cause the songs they pick now is fucking awful. Not everybody likes to listen to trap or rap music only. I love Carbon cause theres so much variety.
the only good song in unbound in my opinion is Kalush Orchestra - Gory SCH - Autobahn A$AP Rocky - Shittin Me this took so long oh my days we need EA Trax
I’m playing unbound again just because it’s still the new one and I’m hearing a LOT of n words dropping in the music. Now I played underground 2 at age 7 or 8 and would sing/rap whatever songs I could remember when I was in school. I can imagine that starting problems. I know it’s rated T but what does that actually mean in practice? “It’s not M so it can’t be that bad” it’s the video game version of PG-13
Going from Payback to Unbound (I skipped Heat) was a bit of a musical shock. The soundtrack of Payback was absolutely perfect and while I wouldn’t put all of them on a playlist, none of the songs were impossible to listen to. Unbound has one, maybe two songs that I like. Only one of them is actually good, and the rest is only worth skipping.
I love that it's essentially every Black Box NFS game (except Undercover and The Run, which is weird because while the games themselves are... yeah, they had absolute bangers on their soundtracks) (Edited to clarify that I think the soundtracks of those two are awesome, independently of how good the games themselves might be.)
Nfs the run soundtrack it gave you adrenaline in its purest form, you have to have a lot of concentration for the adrenaline not to end up disturbing you, that is to say very good 10/10
All I really want is an option to uncheck certain songs from playing. To me, most of the music in Unbound is fine but there are some really obnoxious tracks that I don’t ever want to hear. Kinda wish they leaned harder into hard trap and maybe drift phonk as I feel that those are more representative of current tastes in the car scene
YESSSS THATS WHAT I WAS SEARCHING FOR WE GIVE IT AAAAAAAAAAAUAAAAAALL AND THERES THE REASON WHY I SING SO GIVE IT AAAAAAAUAAAAAAUAAAALL AND ITS THESE REASONS THAT BELONG TO MEEEEEEE
If you only like rock music then unbounds soundtrack is awful. There are still a lot of bad and forgettable songs, but if you're open to music then there are some decent bangers I find myself jamming out to. Also, heat and unbound are the only recent nfs games that have little to no rock music.
@@rodracer4567 thats the problem, it went too leaned on to specific genre which at first was fine but then became irritating hot take: latin pop is not a right genre for racing, its party music and should stay as is
I almost don't listen to rock at all anymore but some times it's not just about whether or not the music is good, it's about how well it works for a racing game. a lot of what older NFS games have are perfect for the style of gameplay they offer but almost all of (emphasis on almost) what's in unbound and heat just simply doesn't belong in a racing game
Nah phonk is good and all but, it can never beat "The Prodigy - You'll be under my wheels". That will forever be my favourite racing music, that and Eurobeats too.
Honestly I think it’s a bit of a shame that Carbon’s song wasn’t “Joker and the Thief” by Wolfmother. And NFSU2 could’ve been Riders but we al know that

Feel the Rush (Junkie XL Remix) during a checkpoint race would have been a better clip for carbon
or sounding streets in a regular race
Going Down On It is engraved into my brain because of that intro with the Police Lambo
But I have tons of nostalgia for the original Most Wanted soundtrack.
Original? Did they remake it at some point?
NFS hot pursuit 2010 and most wanted 2012 also had great soundtracks, definitely worth checking out. I never see these two games in these videos
Because they're not the most beloved NFS out there.
2:50 "fuckbois" lol
Alright, I laughed quietly out loud when you showed Most Wasted.
_Of course_ it is Decadence.
hahaha
I mean I do love that song, but I do agree the memes make too much use of it, despite MW having many, many other incredible songs.
agreed. Just once i want SOMEONE to play *_Mastodon_* in these vids.
I am proud that I found those wonderful days The need for speed. RIP 2001-2015..
*1994
@galaxycl151 the series started in 1994.
Wait, I never knew that there is someone who liked NFS 2015.
Even the hip-hop back then (nfsu2 in particular) were bangers. Snoop Dogg, Terror Squad, Skindred, QOTSA, Killradio on the same playlist.
Then there's UG1 with controversial artists lol
You forgot about Rise Against❤
You have my respect for picking Born Too Slow from UG1
Hot pursuit 2 is such a dope game. All the race tracks are memorable, and the soundtrack is peak
Last good NFS soundtrack was Payback.
I can agree, I didn't believe it but found like a 10 of tracks I added to my plylist.
Nahh 2015 has the last good soundtrack.
You forgot Pendulum Granite from NFS Undercover
Not gonna lie to this day I'm willing to openly claim that Underground 2 and Most Wanted was the peak of the NSF series. Don't get me wrong there were good entries after these two but to this day not a single one of them was as fun as those two. I said it for years give me an NFS with the driving of Most Wanted, the car tuning options of Underground 2 with modern graphics and I might the first time in my life consider pre-ordering a game.
EA: WE WANT SOME MOOOONEEYYY!!!
Every gamers: please bro. We want a real decent games with decent music. The real ELECTRONIC ART
First, we want a great game. Then, you get some money.
Unbound except 90% of it's soundtrack was a decent game in my opinion
you could also add undercover and hot pursuit 2010. The music and atmosphere are there too, top class.
You know i never got when people said stuff like "Yea so they make you feel speed by adding a shit load of effects and camera shake to it, bad game"
Like that's literally what made it feel great. I don't know why it's a bad thing now to make people feel like they are going fast in a literal racing game.
Nfs hot pursuit 2 soundtracks are underrated and its really nostalgic to me
Thanks for putting the song ordinary in the video :)
NFS Hot Pursuit 2 is the best nfs ever, it's ost is pure gold too.
Payback was the last NFS game with good music.
Nfs pro street is probably my favourite soundtrack in a nfs games there are so many songs I love in it. I never listen to it and play driving games though because I'm way too tense. The music is like a memory of great times but also huge stress from those speed events.
I would've loved to hear Joker and the Thief from Wolfmother when Carbon came up but this is also acceptable.
Ngl Heat also has a decent soundtrack, it fit the theme of the game.
i dunno why, but Underground 1 and Most Wanted are only 2 NFS games where you can feel speed.
Maybe its tracks with sharp turns, maybe its effects, maybe its camera shake and lense. But in other NFS games there are 300km/h on speedometer and it feels and loosks like driving speed limit
Let's not forget NFS High Stakes. A lot of bangers on that one too.
I like how he picked the worst song in nfsu2 and it was still better
Most wanted 2012 has nice songs!
Agreed
I had no idea they remade the game. Or is just a remaster?
@@hisaceinthehole3426 It's a new game. But with the same name.
@@ericc2326 oh, so its a sequel? How is it?
@@hisaceinthehole3426 no. It's a different game. With the idea of become the number one in the list.
Dude NFS 1 to Porsche Unleashed had some badass Metal and Trance soundtracks that fit the races very well I won so many races listening to Celtus 808 in NFS 3.
Funny how people shit on Unbound music but doesn't even know that MS-DOS NFS music was better than the Black Box era
@@Aether776 I agree
Need For speed undercover had some good ass songs asw
Still made by the good old Blackbox 😎👊🏻🔝
No need for Speed carbon was supposed to put "hard drivers"
well idk about you but some song of payback and 2015 are pretty good give them a chance 205 AND PAYBACK FORGET HEAT AND UNBOUND
The thing I Love about the NFS payback is that it fits very well. Mac is British and in Drift events plays UK drill and it fits perfect to his style
Most Wanted 2012 was the last NFS game with a solid soundtrack. Honestly i dont get how people still buy NFS these days, Unbound is just garbage.
Undercover. Shift. Hot pursuit 2010. The run. Most wanted 2012. Rivals. 2015. And payback also has the best soundtrack
Fax
@@yusufffff What are you talking about?
@@Turk8249 he said that you are right
@@giuseppenasca2091 Oh.
Payback to me was average tho.
EA should use older songs or make some spotify integration shit cause the songs they pick now is fucking awful. Not everybody likes to listen to trap or rap music only. I love Carbon cause theres so much variety.
OH MY GOD IT'S SO NOSTALGIC!
@@donfunado2241 I meant that old soundtracks are nostalgic
the only good song in unbound in my opinion is
Kalush Orchestra - Gory
SCH - Autobahn
A$AP Rocky - Shittin Me
this took so long oh my days
we need EA Trax
litsening Decadence, is the song that i meet Disturbed and is a cool band that i may be a fan
says alot about most wanted from 2005 when its the most reproduced part of the video
And all NFS games from PS1 had better soundtracks than NFS Unbound.
I’m playing unbound again just because it’s still the new one and I’m hearing a LOT of n words dropping in the music. Now I played underground 2 at age 7 or 8 and would sing/rap whatever songs I could remember when I was in school. I can imagine that starting problems. I know it’s rated T but what does that actually mean in practice? “It’s not M so it can’t be that bad” it’s the video game version of PG-13
Ordinary From the Buzzhorn , the music , the lyrics , too good
Going from Payback to Unbound (I skipped Heat) was a bit of a musical shock.
The soundtrack of Payback was absolutely perfect and while I wouldn’t put all of them on a playlist, none of the songs were impossible to listen to.
Unbound has one, maybe two songs that I like. Only one of them is actually good, and the rest is only worth skipping.
I love that it's essentially every Black Box NFS game (except Undercover and The Run, which is weird because while the games themselves are... yeah, they had absolute bangers on their soundtracks)
(Edited to clarify that I think the soundtracks of those two are awesome, independently of how good the games themselves might be.)
Nfs the run soundtrack it gave you adrenaline in its purest form, you have to have a lot of concentration for the adrenaline not to end up disturbing you, that is to say very good 10/10
undercover is awesome
undercover has literally best ost ever.
When muscle memory kicks in for a shortcut from 20 years ago, just by watching this…
NFS isn't just rock though. Unbound soundtrack sucks but all I see in these comparisons is rock.
The Crystal Method and Gary Numan is Electronic music for a minute.
Exactly, his taste is just rock music 🤦
They do the same on every video. Metal or rock aren't the only great tracks of those games
@@aryanhellcat nah yall just hating on modern games for to fúcking much geez stop it or just play that mw2005 game yall kids.....
All I really want is an option to uncheck certain songs from playing. To me, most of the music in Unbound is fine but there are some really obnoxious tracks that I don’t ever want to hear. Kinda wish they leaned harder into hard trap and maybe drift phonk as I feel that those are more representative of current tastes in the car scene
I feel like nfs manchilds have no musical eq for new music, they just live in their own nostalgia
My man should've chosen "Give it all" for NFSU2 :c
YESSSS THATS WHAT I WAS SEARCHING FOR
WE GIVE IT AAAAAAAAAAAUAAAAAALL
AND THERES THE REASON WHY I SING
SO GIVE IT AAAAAAAUAAAAAAUAAAALL
AND ITS THESE REASONS THAT BELONG TO MEEEEEEE
rock and hip hop, there Is no need to reinvent anything. its really that hard?
"SLOWLY RECALL ON YOUR MIIIIIIIND!!!"
That song is burned into my brain
Really puts into perspective how far people's taste in music has fallen
"WE WANT SOME MOOOONEY"
oh my god so relatable
I'd prefer payback's soundtrack over unbound
No rom De Prisco though, from the real golden days of the franchise.
If you only like rock music then unbounds soundtrack is awful. There are still a lot of bad and forgettable songs, but if you're open to music then there are some decent bangers I find myself jamming out to. Also, heat and unbound are the only recent nfs games that have little to no rock music.
And with Heat, everyone kept saying it's soundtrack was completely garbage meanwhile my Dominican side was jamming to Gente de Zona.
@@rodracer4567 thats the problem, it went too leaned on to specific genre which at first was fine but then became irritating
hot take: latin pop is not a right genre for racing, its party music and should stay as is
I almost don't listen to rock at all anymore but some times it's not just about whether or not the music is good, it's about how well it works for a racing game. a lot of what older NFS games have are perfect for the style of gameplay they offer but almost all of (emphasis on almost) what's in unbound and heat just simply doesn't belong in a racing game
@@civicrider5556 you don't know nothing
@@bruhmoment802 what? did i really say something wrong
the only from underground still makes my car gain like 500 hp
MW 2012's also amazing.
NFS rivals : i have best cops 💀
Payback is the last NFS with a great soundtrack
Late 90s / Early 2000s Songs in PS1 and PS2 Games are Unbeatable
Pro Street really makes you pumped up for racing with its soundtrack. 💪
Nfs most wanted is always in my heart, so does the black edition.
God Damn Can ALL OF YOU PEOPLE STOP UPLOADING VIDEOS OF HOW BAD UNBOUNDS SOUNDTRACK IS ALREADY! We all get the message
Nah phonk is good and all but, it can never beat "The Prodigy - You'll be under my wheels". That will forever be my favourite racing music, that and Eurobeats too.
Why do you all paste only Disturbed? What about BFMV - Hand of Blood? I swear it's the best song from NFS.
Honestly I think it’s a bit of a shame that Carbon’s song wasn’t “Joker and the Thief” by Wolfmother. And NFSU2 could’ve been Riders but we al know that
