The GTO Le Mans is actually quite scary to drive even as someone who can full send a Pagani Zonda F at 520 km/h and keep it on the track.....no, I'm not saying this lightly; Speed King's car is more prone to sliding than a drift car at extremely high speeds.

@@AhmadWahelsa No that's more of a Venom game. As far as running really fast goes check out Saints Row 4, at max sprint level you're basically faster than bullets.
This is why I absolutely LOVE Pro Street. The ONLY game that gives you a real feeling that you are going really fast and makes you scared. Any mistakes while going fast and you car is gone. I've heard that Unleashed series gives you that feeling too but I haven't played.
6:53 Almost had a heart attack and I'm not even the one playing! Those blind up-hills followed by a slight curve on Nevada Highway were the bane of my existence back in the day. Nice save. And that one really long S curve between the mountains at the halfway point, super iconic. Nice driving man.
Playing NFS Pro Street with console are the most terrifying racing game ever. Back then I don't know how many times I totaled my car doing Speed Challange
Correction PS2 Era Namco had great music. Bandai Namco music is generic trash. Been like that for a while. Namco was legit top tier, Bandai Namco is like bottom tier wtf happened... somebody must have got lost with the Bandai merge.
Need for speed pro street is underrated for sure but the series as a whole has some real amazing games. Underground, carbon, and nitrous as well as most wanted are probably my faves. Also you could get even crazier speeds with the elusive Porsche cause in Need for Speed Porsche is king.

I remember playing this game on Xbox360 online. Nevada was one of the hardest tracks and I remember running with the top guys on the leaderboards for that track. I was one of, if not the only, non-porsche on the boards for that track. I ran a WRX that I also built for grip, I actually have video's of it from 14 years ago on my YT messing with people online for fun. If your car couldn't maintain speed cap around 95% of the track, you weren't touching the top dogs.
Criterion doesn't need to take notes 😅 Burnout had an incredible sense of speed too. I just think that they're now just forced to please nowadays casuals (which aren't the same casuals as from back then aha)
Yes i agree NFS heat was good in only a particular way. but just look at the video of prostreet the car is making noises and moving in ways that sounds like it’s breaking apart and barely holding together. Acceleration felt so earned with good driving amd upgraded parts . Heat just doesn’t have that same impact maybe it has the same speed with all ultimate parts unlocked but the characteristics of dangerous high speed I don’t think it has as well as prostreet did
@Victor_2000s but only one is visceral in how failure ends the entire race day by flipping the car. And thats where the true fear comes in. Undeniably they have the same soul. But to say that the chief series competes on the same level of fears in prostreet is gratuitous.
@@caleguenther8947 Doesn't need to have the same weird camera zoom from Prostreet to be Good, Shift 1 & 2 did a better job using the realism to represents the great sense of speed of a vehicle.
This is one of my fav games in the series , also a very underrated one , i remember it wasnt as liked compared to previous games back in the day. But i found it sick and a very enjoyable game , i didnt mind it being legal races this time.
Playing this game as i got older made me really appreciate it. it's up there with the Underground series and Most Wanted, all games being really unique in different aspects while being great
I just love the fact that it's as realistic as it can get, while keeping the customizations AND damage system, god. No wonder this will always be my favorite racing game, next to GT4 and MW 05.
Bro I remember about 10 months ago I first installed prostreet on my laptop (which would make my 1st time playing in 7-8 years), and back then and still to this day whenever I do speed challenges I actually move my entire body left and right depending on where I turn 😂I haven't done that for racing games since when I last played DriveClub VR, thats how much I feel like I'm in the game, the sense of speed is amazing
The Nissan Skyline was able to hit terminal speed even faster than that, and it had the habit of locking the steering when it's at terminal. Crazy stuff
Yes. The speed challenge races in this game are seriously in a league of their own. Only people that have played this game know it. And it's facilitated by absolutely JANKED physics in every department. You've got the fact that 1) for some reason the aero packages DECREASE drag??????? 2) they decrease it to an ABSURD degree like I think it multiplies the whole drag calculation by zero and completely eliminates it 3) engine power curves are calculated by TOTAL FUCKING SPEED INSTEAD OF RPM SO THE FASTER YOU GO THE MORE POWER THE FUCKING ENGINE MAKES. 4) combine this with setting all the engine tuning options to max peak power which gives you like double the horsepower once you hit 200+ and you have a literal supersonic car if the game would let you make the gearing long enough which creates one of the most batshit fucking insane racing experiences ever made and it was completely unintentional and it's SO fun. I'm almost 100% sure they realized this like a week before launch and that's why the game has the 250MPH global speed limit. Because without it you are going 500+ MPH easy.
I'm glad people starting to see why I enjoy Pro Street. And the added tekken music was the best choice. This game sense of speed is unlike any other nfs. And making it through the course with no damage it the challenge everytime.
This game was part of my childhood. I think it's the extremely rigid shaking that adds on so much more to the sense of speed Also you driving at 300+ and maintaining control is crazy. I'd be worried even after 200 cuz it just takes one mistake and you're totaled!
Not the cleanest driving, but that is precisely how you can tell this was driven all out, full send. Some of those were extremely close calls, barely a handful of pixels short of becoming certain death. Mad respect, lad/lass. Huge kudos. ;)
As someone who has some experience in karting and sim-racing and who (totally legal lmao yes) went up to almost 190 KPH irl, I can tell you that even irl speed doesn't feel so dangerous. Here you can tell that you're in danger all the time. Sometimes it feels scary to drive fast in these races even with my G29! A single slightest wrong move and you're a passenger - the next moment you're already dead. Insane. But that's what I adore about this game (one of many things, that is :v)
These events are the only thing I remember fondly about this game. Everything else was underwhelming, but every speed event was an unforgettable experience.
the nfs games were great at giving sense of speed. i remember playing nfs shift for ps3. it was my introduction to track racing games and sims. although handling was kinda shit, it was a fun game and the sounds and sense of speed gave a great feeling, making the races thrilling. after it i started playing the dirt series and gran turismo. dirt and gt was a lot of fun, but gt back then did not give the thrill and adrenaline that nfs and dirt gave you.
Speed Challenges are the coolest racing type I've ever seen on any racing game ever and it's a crime they're never been replicated and probably never will.
Hmm, as an old veteran of this game. The best car for Speed Challenge is a Porsche 911 turbo, Subaru Impreza WRX STi and Nissan GT-R BNR34 Skyline because they are very fast, stable and easy to control. Actually, big Nate Denver's GTO 65 isn't bad, it's actually good if you know how to drive it : D
Burnout 3 is unhinged, once you reach the last tournaments, the cars are so fast and the motion blur so strong, that you can't see shit ahead of you. You basically turn into a corner and pray you don't get obliterated by oncoming traffic
@@WMan37 Yes, it is fantastic, I love that game. But damn if it isn't frustrating sometimes. You get blasted by a traffic car which you had no way to avoid, get passed by everyone, and then you basically have 0 chance of catching up for the rest of the race, because traffic doesn't spawn for your opponents ahead of you.
@@IDyn4m1CI Personally I think that's part of the rush of playing Burnout 3, it has the "OHHHHH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT" factor that is lacking from quite a lot of racing games since, where the adrenaline of moving at a barely controllable speed with the threat of a single mistake screwing you over looming just around every corner, it makes it so that when you do complete the race, you feel like you just survived an actual trial.
the game not only has a good sense of speed but it's also ridiculously fast anyway (500kmh is easily achievable in speed challenges with the right tune)
I remember my favorite car for these events was the E46 M3. It didn't even top out at 250 but it didn't need to: It had such incredible downforce and stability that it was way easier to drive than most other cars and could sit at its top speed for the entire run.
Damn, that was tense. I wasn't even playing and in my mind I was yelling at the butt humper in race three to screw off. I used to really like games like this and the Burnout series as a kid/teen. It's been many years since I've played any.
As one who could play around with the cops chasing me at Max Heat for an hour straight in Most Wanted, I tried this game and I was struggling. So I pull in some cheat codes, get a ton of money to max a Lamborghini, then hit the speedway, and never in my life or since have I felt such an uncomfortable yet satisfying feeling of going this fast in any game. No other game can reach this feeling of speed. What Im saying is that, in this game, neither the cops or Watanabe are your enemy.. Pure unadulterated speed is. SOMEONE PLEASE REMAKE THIS GAME ALONG WITH CARBON & MOST WANTED

Hmm, as an old veteran of this game. The best car for Speed Challenge is a Porsche 911 turbo, Subaru Impreza WRX STi and Nissan GT-R BNR34 Skyline because they are very fast, stable and easy to control. Actually, big Nate Denver's GTO 65 isn't bad, it's actually good if you know how to drive it : D
Nah, the way you Brian O'Connor that subie was disrespectful.
Wow that looks almost as fast as Burnout 3's F1 racing.
Burnout 3 is unhinged, once you reach the last tournaments, the cars are so fast and the motion blur so strong, that you can't see shit ahead of you. You basically turn into a corner and pray you don't get obliterated by oncoming traffic
@@IDyn4m1CI I know, _isn't it great?_
@@WMan37 Yes, it is fantastic, I love that game. But damn if it isn't frustrating sometimes. You get blasted by a traffic car which you had no way to avoid, get passed by everyone, and then you basically have 0 chance of catching up for the rest of the race, because traffic doesn't spawn for your opponents ahead of you.
@@IDyn4m1CI Personally I think that's part of the rush of playing Burnout 3, it has the "OHHHHH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT" factor that is lacking from quite a lot of racing games since, where the adrenaline of moving at a barely controllable speed with the threat of a single mistake screwing you over looming just around every corner, it makes it so that when you do complete the race, you feel like you just survived an actual trial.
the game not only has a good sense of speed but it's also ridiculously fast anyway (500kmh is easily achievable in speed challenges with the right tune)
those speed runs were insane fast at end game, one of the few NFS that you could barely keep the car on the road while going full speed
4:37 Him: "oooOOO-"
You: "WHOOOOOOOHOHOOOOO!"
I remember my favorite car for these events was the E46 M3. It didn't even top out at 250 but it didn't need to: It had such incredible downforce and stability that it was way easier to drive than most other cars and could sit at its top speed for the entire run.
Probably the scariest racing game I've ever played
This is why Pro Street is one of my favorites bc the speed is actually insane
jimpachi's theme fits soooo goood with speed challenges man
This and Shift/Shift 2 is my absolute favorite NFS. I love sense of speed.
with tekken music is perfect :)
Pro Street loooovee woop woop 🔥🔥🔥🔥
4:37
Slapjack: “Ohhhhhh!”
Brian:”WOOOOOHOHOHOOHOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”
*NYEOOOOOOOOM*
Awesome control you got there!
Finally a game where going so insanely fast feels fast, and its mostly all camera work and good level design!
The equalizer theme song from tekken 5 i remember it
The first race and the ost 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Damn, that was tense. I wasn't even playing and in my mind I was yelling at the butt humper in race three to screw off. I used to really like games like this and the Burnout series as a kid/teen. It's been many years since I've played any.
Tekken 5 DR OST fits here surprisingly well!
The burnout series nailed this. Burnout takedown 2 used to scare me baaaddd
Easily my favorite NFS game. I spent so many hours with it back in 2008. Good memories.
They really said "fuck it, Quake but it's a racing game"
I still remember I'd tense my a** everytime I play a speed event in Pro Street. The sense of speed is so dangerous, yet so thrilling...
Even after finally completing this masterpiece of a game, the Nevada PTSD is real.
Ahhh, just the way I love it.
My shakey camera and my clenched cheeks.
The Viper's driver saw death was after him and switched to "I AM FUUUUUUCKED!!!" mode
As one who could play around with the cops chasing me at Max Heat for an hour straight in Most Wanted, I tried this game and I was struggling. So I pull in some cheat codes, get a ton of money to max a Lamborghini, then hit the speedway, and never in my life or since have I felt such an uncomfortable yet satisfying feeling of going this fast in any game. No other game can reach this feeling of speed.
What Im saying is that, in this game, neither the cops or Watanabe are your enemy.. Pure unadulterated speed is.
SOMEONE PLEASE REMAKE THIS GAME ALONG WITH CARBON & MOST WANTED
Ah the Fukushima challenge: in 2007 nobody thought about that name becoming haunted in 2011....
never thought Tekken music would be fit into a racing game.
tuning the car so it doesn't fly out is my favorite part of speed challenge on prostreet
NFS Pro street is genuinely my favourite NFS game
I used to ramp out the pavement in Nevada as a kid for fun, just to skyrocket and fuck up the car as most as possible. Peak car game 🔥
This game was the first one that made me realise how dangerous motorsport really is
If only they still made racing games like this.
This music to this game mean you had a pretty good childhood
even the hairpin turn felt quite straight crusing at 350 kmph...
That's wild! Traveling well over 220+ mph just for it to take that long to complete the first race.
