www.dashlane.com/whitelight for swerving those nerds trying to watch you through your webcam. So this Need For Speed review was a very experimental project, like many of my recent videos, tell me what you think. If it's received well, I might go on to do the same for as many recent releases as I can, including DOOM Eternal.
His writing is one of the reasons why I keep watching his videos. It's cheeky and genius at the same time. References might fly past you without even realizing.
I actually love the cruises to the races in this game. A big part of the car community is cruises like those along the streets, showing off cars and hooning a bit. I think it adds a nice bit of humanity to the game.
Oh my Godspeed! The word play, the editing, the...EVERYTHING!! I didn't expect to be this entertained by a Need For Spleen review. Congrats, sir, you've created a masterpiece :hyperclap:
Speaking as someone, who has no interest in racing games, I can tell you, that you succeeded in your endeavour to make the video interesting even for people who have no interest in the game itself. Cheers, mate.
I have no idea why with this aesthetic they didn’t give it a synthwave/vapor wave/outrun soundtrack. That would have seriously elevated the game for me, luckily I can just use TH-cam to do that and some eurobeat too.
Exactly! NFS HP had an AMAZING soundtrack compared to this game I was blown away by the amount of tracks they had in the game and I’d argue there were a few songs for everyone in that game!
@Spider-Venom it just felt like a desperate attempt to bring up Epstein and capitalize on a recent joke. Not trying to take away from the severity of the actual case, clearly this writer didnt care about that, shoe horning it into his freaking need for speed review it just felt so out of place and random in an annoying way
You get to choose between being a thot or a thot patrol officer Thot's main goal to be the biggest thot ever and they become more popular by how much simps they have. While thot patrol officers stop thots from achieving their main goal by arresting them for the greater good. *NFS Thot Pursuit* Which side will you choose?
This game introduced me to racing games and turned me into a gearhead. The story is cliche but good enough to keep you playing. The day/night cycle made you choose if you'll play it safe or take a risk. Cop chases were thrilling and fun, even though it may be too challenging for new players. NFS Heat wasn't a masterpiece, but it was good enough, which is why I'll always remember it fondly.
The Run did something completely different, and people either loved it or hated it. It's crazy to see such a divide in players' opinions. Even though the gameplay was linear as fuck, it felt almost like you were playing a movie. There would probably only be like 12 people buying it, but I'd love them to make a sequel, with more of an open-world feel. It'd be cool if they could do something like The Crew, with a very scaled down version of the US.
Night racing is the backbone of this game, that and customization are the only reasons why my friends and I still play NFS Heat 3 years later. Hoping that Criterion doesn't take away this experience from us in their upcoming release.
“Need for Speed: Yeet” killed me Edit: yeah the joke/minute rate was incredible. I resisted the urge to quote each and every one of them. Your recent release format will definitely hook people not interested in the actual games.
What I like about Midnight Club and Tokyo Xtreme Racer series is that they give the opponents some sense of a character. They have backstories, personalities and their own reasons for street racing. They're all pretty simple, but when there's so many of these, together they end up forming this overall idea of what street racing, the main setting of the game, can mean to different people. That's how you portray the social aspect of street racing, how you give an impression of the overall setting to the player. It's a great way to show different sides of the culture, showing the different mindsets, age groups and backgrounds the people have and how this one interest of theirs brings them all together to create this interestingly varied whole.
God all I want ALL I want is a game that plays like the old Underground games, where your car becomes basically your avatar how people will know you, with it having the graphics of modern racers.
This is the first video I saw on your channel and i just watched all 4 part of prototype that you have done. You really have a great channel and I will be waiting for more vids.
Overall my only real problem with the game (Meh Story Aside) is rather subjective, the music. There are some alright tunes but personally there was only about two that i liked to speed to. Hell, Payback (the mess it was) had some that made cruising the open world worthwhile. Again, a subjective issue but seems they went for what would compliment the setting which i guess i understand. Beside that Good Game Ghost.
I'm going to defend the story mode. yeah, it's cheesy as fuck (Just like every NFS from the BlackBox era, except The Run) but at least the characters are bearable. I couldn't get myself to play through payback and NFS2015 because of how fucking annoying and dislikable the characters were
I agree with the music. I mean heres the thing, alot of those rappers I've listened to and they range from meh to me liking their shit. BUT this soundtrack seems much better for driving around flexing and showing off not speeding around. Again its subjective because NFS has always had hip hop and from artists popular at the time and this times no different, they didnt change much but the flavours of hip hop has. They should honestly just let you import your own soundtracks like GTA5 did since the music preference for NFS is so disjointed now or diversify the tracks more.
Since i discovered your content about 2 or 3 days ago, i have been NONSTOP binge watching you since! Your videos are amazing keep it the hell up my dude!
This is one of the most compelling, clever, and strongly structured reviews I’ve ever seen. Hats off to you, sir. You’ve knocked it out of the park once again.
I been saying this for a while-- Rockstar NEEDS to make a horror game again! A return to Manhunt would be fucking amazing! Some of my favorite bits of GTAV and RDR2 are the eerie secretive scary bits. The bad publicity from the first two Manhunts has surely died off now, so just make a scary game you cowards!
NFS Most Wanted 2005 was very much "speaking to the youth" of its time though, everything from the soundtrack selection to the cheesy antics of the blacklist racers was made with the "How do you do fellow kids?" vibe. It is about as tacky as the NFS Heat influencer / making bank attitude but Heat is not engaging enough without the build up and story that MFS MW 2005 had. Also kids in 2005 weren't distracted by multiple apps for entertainment. Playing something like NFS MW or watching someone play it or talking about it was the best distraction they had. It is tempting to look at NFS MW 2005 through its special sepia filter and laugh at the cut scenes (if you will) but I suppose an almost 30 year old would have played it with wonder in its time since it was a leap in graphics and 'storytelling' (for arcade racers) in its time. NFS Heat, is presented with all the same accompaniments as NFS MW 2005, only that it doesn't bring much that is new and definitely is not as engaging as the blacklist progression. After many iterations of NFS stories, NFS Heat is a victim of its own series fatigue.
I wish I could get your amazing content in audio form in spotify as I am always on the go and never have enough time connected to wifi to watch your videos but love everything you do and all that is you're passionate about
Regarding the music in the game, remember the GOOD o' days when the devs of a lot of racing games would add all sorts of different music genres into their games and give you the ability to customize the soundtrack's playlist? That way, you could actually CHOOSE what you wanted to listen to of all the songs that they provided? I sure do miss features like that. You'd think as technology and game quality gets better and better, more and more features such as that would be more prominent and refined, but now they're just nonexistent, it's a shame.
I don't replay yt videos often, but I keep coming back to this video. This script is just amazing, I don't think I ever memorised lines from a review before
I know it's been a while but you're actually not restricted to keep the speed limit in those "follow the npc" missions, if you go very fast you get a marker on your map where you need to go, so you can get there in 1min if you don't wanna hear the conversation
I would like to see Need for Speed go back and capitalize on some of their older ideas. For instance, the crew mechanic in Carbon. It gave your rivals more personality, and it made you feel like you were not doing everything on your own. The challenges for your territory was pretty fun too. I feel like there's already so many good ideas they could use if they just look back.
As a guy thats from Houston Texas were they street race every other day. I can confirm that either you have young people dressed like young people dress, or you have older guys that just bought a C8 corvette as a project to add to his 1k horsepower GTR/Lamborghini car collection.
need for speed: thot pursuit (good subtitle but imagine this) Need speed for women: thot pursuit (keeping the subtitle but changing the franchise name for this individual entry it goes from nfs to nsfw)
I love the format! Great editing, an amazing script (as always) that kept me entertained with some great laughs along the way. Now that I think about it I don't even know how I spent the last 10 years without a good nfs. Thie series defined my childhood. I am just sad not to hear you talk about nfs for the next 5 hours. Have you thought about making a video about the whole nfs series? Their roots, maybe innovations in the genre and a little context on each game? It could be 48 hours long I wouldn't mind.
Honestly the reason why I think Heat is great is because it follows the phrase IF IT AIN'T BROKE, DON'T FIX IT But hopefully Citierion will follow this games example by building on what worked While removing the shit that didn't
Jesus Christ, I don't know if I have dementia but I don't remember Whitelight spewing this amount of maymays and jokes in older videos. The density of humorous stuff is high. Not that I am complaining.
"I'm trying to get t a point where people would enjoy watching the review even if they didn't care about the game" you totally got there, this is great
Great video, but seeing Criterion coming back to NFS doesn't really make me happy. They were EA's shiny star in the 2000's with Burnout. Even to the point that they had enough agency to make a game like 'Black'. But over the years they became a not-so-important asset for EA that took care of an NFS game/the driving mechanics of a DICE game once in a while. And I know that they're good at it. Hot Pursuit 2010 is an absolute gem to me. But I remember one of their leads saying that they were done making NFS games after Most Wanted 2012... I might be wrong, but seeing them getting the franchise back after years without officially working on a project of their own tells me that they pretty much have the same level of agency than Visceral before their shutdown.
It feels more like merger/reorganization to me. EA says that "Despite our best efforts to establish an independent development group in Gothenburg over several years, it's become clear that the breadth of talent we need to maintain a full AAA studio is just not available to us there". Most likely anyone from ghost who are willing to move will be offered position at criterion and continue to work on NFS. Also criterion now isn't the same people who made burnout, they were de facto closed in 2013 with developers moving to ghost and founders leaving shortly - they are now making some indie stuff(Three Fields Entertainment). Therefore I would expect the current trajectory to prevail with maybe some graphical advancements since criterion worked with dice and clearly understands frostbite well.
The good news is that they have something they can build upon. It took ghost YEARS to make a well received NFS, just work with that formula. Please, no more butter on pan handling
My main issue with this game is how short the story is and once you’ve done that it doesn’t take long to collect everything unless you want all the cars . I bought an NSX pretty early on and been steamrolling got ultimate plus on everything .
This is my favorite video in your channel (This and CONTROL) , I always come back to it and watch it whole whenever I feel I wanna have a laugh, and then it compelled me to play the game and now it's even funnier than before after I know the game's short comings xD And every joke hits x10 better. I don't know if you're going to do NFS Unbound - But it would be interesting to see your take on it it's like the developers watched your video and then proceeded to improve the game based on your critique ! It's amazing to see that most of the points you made here are adressed in NFS Unbound. Please check the new NFS and if you feel it needs an analysis with the "whitelight" touch - That would be great - Looking forward to see how kinky cell shaded whitelight-chan can be xD Have a great day :D
I loved that you stated your interest in Quantum physics and also loved every moment of this Review being upfront, brutally honest and unapologetically truthful about what happening within the NFS community as a whole. excellent job sir!!
anyone else get the feeling that ghost played a bunch of black box's need for speed games then midnight club los angeles and took inspiration from both? it's not exactly the same, but this game's environment does give me midnight club vibes
I REALLY love how you did this video. I was entertained throughout the video. You presented the information I wanted, while making me laugh at HOW you presented it.
The reducing music vol part is pretty much how i deal with most games. I find it's a very effective way to make a game more immersive and a fine too if the music sucks 😆.
oh my god what happened to you man, i started watching your video since your Prototype reviews and you used to be pretty calm and serious about the script but this time it is just fire lmao great work i loved it
I'm a bit late but if you get impatient and drive ahead of the NPC they'll just say something like "oh you're leaving me behind" and just set a way point on the map for you, so you don't need to stick to the speed limit, personally I don't mind this because some people are new to need for speed and the options are both there.

"NFS Thot Pursuit" lol. Excellent review, as always.
You get to choose between being a thot or a thot patrol officer
Thot's main goal to be the biggest thot ever and they become more popular by how much simps they have.
While thot patrol officers stop thots from achieving their main goal by arresting them for the greater good.
*NFS Thot Pursuit*
Which side will you choose?
Need for seed twat pursuit
I didn’t remember it had a soundtrack. It was so bad I turned the music volume down in the first 5 minutes of playing.
night music was bearable, but the day music was like a playlist from a 10 year old Latino kid’s birthday party playlist
7:52 WTF right mirror doin
Holding on for dear life.

Finally someone who noticed it

Yeah i really don't want that to be a thing good god. It happened more than once in this video too.
When you get to heat five, take some jumps. The cop AI just cannot handle jumps. It’s like an instant escape as long as you don’t screw it up.
I feel like whitelight is slowly being overwhelmed by madness
Aren't we all? :-)
@@igorthelight subtly
Perfect
This game introduced me to racing games and turned me into a gearhead. The story is cliche but good enough to keep you playing. The day/night cycle made you choose if you'll play it safe or take a risk. Cop chases were thrilling and fun, even though it may be too challenging for new players. NFS Heat wasn't a masterpiece, but it was good enough, which is why I'll always remember it fondly.
I'm interested to hear your thoughts on NFS The Run.
That was one hell of a NFS game for me. The best to this day.
The Run did something completely different, and people either loved it or hated it. It's crazy to see such a divide in players' opinions. Even though the gameplay was linear as fuck, it felt almost like you were playing a movie. There would probably only be like 12 people buying it, but I'd love them to make a sequel, with more of an open-world feel. It'd be cool if they could do something like The Crew, with a very scaled down version of the US.
@@exlibrisas Amen brother. Black Box got it so right with The Run
@@EminentLine it's better than heat imo
I never had more fun online in nfs then in the run. The game is hated far more than it deserves to be
Night racing is the backbone of this game, that and customization are the only reasons why my friends and I still play NFS Heat 3 years later. Hoping that Criterion doesn't take away this experience from us in their upcoming release.
'NEED FOR SPEED: YEET ' XD

Edit: yeah the joke/minute rate was incredible. I resisted the urge to quote each and every one of them. Your recent release format will definitely hook people not interested in the actual games.

Great video, but seeing Criterion coming back to NFS doesn't really make me happy. They were EA's shiny star in the 2000's with Burnout. Even to the point that they had enough agency to make a game like 'Black'. But over the years they became a not-so-important asset for EA that took care of an NFS game/the driving mechanics of a DICE game once in a while.
And I know that they're good at it. Hot Pursuit 2010 is an absolute gem to me. But I remember one of their leads saying that they were done making NFS games after Most Wanted 2012...
I might be wrong, but seeing them getting the franchise back after years without officially working on a project of their own tells me that they pretty much have the same level of agency than Visceral before their shutdown.
It feels more like merger/reorganization to me. EA says that "Despite our best efforts to establish an independent development group in Gothenburg over several years, it's become clear that the breadth of talent we need to maintain a full AAA studio is just not available to us there". Most likely anyone from ghost who are willing to move will be offered position at criterion and continue to work on NFS.
Also criterion now isn't the same people who made burnout, they were de facto closed in 2013 with developers moving to ghost and founders leaving shortly - they are now making some indie stuff(Three Fields Entertainment). Therefore I would expect the current trajectory to prevail with maybe some graphical advancements since criterion worked with dice and clearly understands frostbite well.
The good news is that they have something they can build upon. It took ghost YEARS to make a well received NFS, just work with that formula. Please, no more butter on pan handling
Amazing video! Probably my favorite whitelight video ever
1:32 "this is where you select what drugs you are addicted to and how many ass bones you've got" really got me laughing badly. So much yeets 😂😂👍🏻
Morgan Taylor Oates thanks for the clarification 👍🏻
The soundtrack quick rant was pure satisfaction
2015's vibe was the shit. You really felt underground. You felt illegal. The best nfs game out there.
LOL
too bad the handling and physics were atrocious
@@Im__Andy-f6x Yeah it was dog doo doo
Dude I would watch anything you make a video about. Your writing is insane, both the hilarious parts as well as the purely passionate parts
My main issue with this game is how short the story is and once you’ve done that it doesn’t take long to collect everything unless you want all the cars . I bought an NSX pretty early on and been steamrolling got ultimate plus on everything .
This is my favorite video in your channel (This and CONTROL) , I always come back to it and watch it whole whenever I feel I wanna have a laugh, and then it compelled me to play the game and now it's even funnier than before after I know the game's short comings xD And every joke hits x10 better.
I don't know if you're going to do NFS Unbound - But it would be interesting to see your take on it
it's like the developers watched your video and then proceeded to improve the game based on your critique ! It's amazing to see that most of the points you made here are adressed in NFS Unbound.
Please check the new NFS and if you feel it needs an analysis with the "whitelight" touch - That would be great - Looking forward to see how kinky cell shaded whitelight-chan can be xD
Have a great day :D
6:25 "I Heard Jesus Used To Play It After He Got Done Turning Ball Sweat Into Dr. Pepper Or Whatever"
LMAO that really got a laugh outta me, good one.
I come back to this review once in a while to just appreciate the writing. Superb !
these character models look like they are out of some dysgenic mixer.
Forced devolution virus
THOMAS THE DANK ENGINE? CARDIGAN B? YOU'VE JUST GOTTEN A NEW SUB LMAO
7:30 - Must be hard for that right door mirror to sit still
I notched it too and was wondering if anybody else did.
Wish they hire Rom di Prisco again for the soundtracks. That was the golden OST era for NFS.
FACTS
I loved that you stated your interest in Quantum physics and also loved every moment of this Review being upfront, brutally honest and unapologetically truthful about what happening within the NFS community as a whole.
excellent job sir!!
anyone else get the feeling that ghost played a bunch of black box's need for speed games then midnight club los angeles and took inspiration from both? it's not exactly the same, but this game's environment does give me midnight club vibes
A note about the speed, you forgot to mention the main speed component, which is the increasing camera FOV.
It still makes it to the "best selling games on PS4" list every now and then
I REALLY love how you did this video. I was entertained throughout the video. You presented the information I wanted, while making me laugh at HOW you presented it.
you really stepped it up with this video, nice work man - looking forward to more
The reducing music vol part is pretty much how i deal with most games. I find it's a very effective way to make a game more immersive and a fine too if the music sucks 😆.
"moving slower than tectonic plates"
This script deserves a sculpture
Try the UNITE mod for this game, I think you might really like it. It brings back the 2015 vibe you were talking about.
oh my god what happened to you man, i started watching your video since your Prototype reviews and you used to be pretty calm and serious about the script but this time it is just fire lmao great work i loved it
I was just waiting for that Prototype reference when I read the subtitles for the murder cop-out scene.
I think I finally understand love... the perfect amount of sarcasm, nice editing....marry me
"Need For Speed: Thot Pursuit" I fucking love it 19:56
Good lord why have I missed this channel out for so long. Binge watching your videos mate, damn good job.
I like to play my Spotify music while playing.
I'm a bit late but if you get impatient and drive ahead of the NPC they'll just say something like "oh you're leaving me behind" and just set a way point on the map for you, so you don't need to stick to the speed limit, personally I don't mind this because some people are new to need for speed and the options are both there.
"Speed is tense, but much like Jeffrey Epstein, not suicidal." Amazing.
Given that marathon of Deathstand i'm supprised you could make another video so soon. Good work on you.
