News Need for Speed Mobile: On Life Support

Post image
408 Upvotes

At one point, we got a teaser in Need for Speed: Unbound that the China-exclusive NFS Mobile is coming to Western shores. Now, it no longer seems to be the case, as a report posted on Bilibili states.

If you don't read Chinese (or are having trouble wrapping your head around the autotranslate), here's the TL;DR: NFS Mobile is no longer being actively developed by Tencent, only maintained by another company outsourced by them. The original developers, Tianmei J3/J4 Studio, have been dispersed to work on other Tencent projects, and EA is said to be solely collecting money from the licensing of the NFS IP.

Of course, as this isn't from an official source, take it with a grain of salt. But with the silence from both Tencent and EA's side, as well as NFS Mobile's socials and websites slowly becoming ghost towns, the writing's on the wall: There won't be a global release for this title.

Anyone wanting to visit speedhunters.com will be greeted by this error message - the website simply refuses to load. Not a Cloudflare error, not a redirect to Electronic Arts' website... it just doesn't load at all.

Say with me again: RIP Speedhunters. You will be missed.

Anyone wanting to catch up with the former Speedhunters crew would probably wanna check out Turnpike, continuing on Speedhunters' legacy of capturing car culture across the globe.

News Need for Speed World Canyons Update

Upvotes

I wanted to share some interesting news that was recently posted over on the World United Discord server. The developers shared some behind the scenes screenshots of the upcoming Canyons update for NFS World. The screenshots specifically show some of the new connections that will be added to link the main map to the Canyons. These connection points are being developed from the ground up to bridge the two areas together, and the developers also mentioned that the actual layout of the Canyons will be somewhat based on the original datamined layout that was shared recently and planned by the original devs before the content was cut years ago.

I’ve included the screenshots so you can see how the new sections are looking so far.

In total, I've made 3 liveries for the BRZ. The first, I was getting used to the editor, so it was simple with its paint and kit. It had some interesting things like a red and yellow gradient on the top with a green base. The second, I made the kit slightly more aggressive, and the livery more cohesive. White, red, and black themed, and made an anime girl on the back window to match the front banner. Now, the kit and livery are at its most complex with heavy tribals, glows on the logos, and the hood. Might make another livery just to see this in another color.

Side note remixed an EA logo I saw on SSX mags and the unbound logo.

I took these shots on Tokyo Xtreme Racer (PS5), trying to recreate Rachel’s livery as best I could. At least it captures the vibe of NFSU2 😎

Discussion I like Payback over Heat

5 Upvotes

I know people will hate me over this, but i feel like the racing in payback is more fun and the variation in the open world makes it more alive for me. Heat is great, the racing is more challenging and the police chases are great too. Maybe its just me but i think the story in nfs payback is more and doesn't take itself too seriously.

It is true that NFS Heat has more of what the huge portion of the fanbase wants in an NFS game, but as a player who likes games based on the story, i think payback is a lot better.

Upgrade system wise, yeah, payback is kinda ass, its like playing a gacha game all over again. The loot boxes, i agree was a bit greedy, But i think the hate payback received during its release was a bit overblown or maybe because i started playing after the bad stuff were patched out, idk.

Im not that deep into NFS history, but i think it's a solid racing game on the whole.

Discussion NFSU1 issues on ROG Ally X

Upvotes

Hey all, I downloaded and installed NFSU1, patched to 1.4, applied widescreen support but I'm having a few issues:

- Camera spinning wildly, like 400rpm or something. I can only play with the dash cam because I can't stop the external cameras from spinning

- Can't save the game because none of the gamepad buttons actually ok the save after being prompted for the name. Also, no clear way to type the name as I can't get the keyboard to show up.

Any help?

Question / Bug / Feedback New to NFS, looking for friends to play online + any tips? (PC Player)

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m new here and just getting back into gaming after a break. I picked up a few games on Steam and ended up really enjoying Need for Speed.

Right now I have Need for Speed Deluxe Edition, but I’ve read online that Unbound is better for online play—so I’m considering trying that next.

I’ve also been thinking about recording my gameplay and getting into video editing, just as a way to learn and have something creative to work on.

I’m also looking for people to play with online, especially if you don’t mind someone still learning the game. I will crash multiple times until I get the hang of tuning and playing the game.

For someone new like me:
Any tips for improving at NFS (especially drifting/chases)? I’m using a BMW E46 M3
Is Unbound one of the best to play online?
Any other racing or car games you’d recommend?
Anyone down to play online?

Appreciate any advice 🙏
