Need for Speed 2015 Will Be Next...

We've had to say goodbye to The Crew after less than 10 years... the next always online game that comes to mind is Need for Speed. An iconic reboot that set the stage for the future of the series...

love how nfs 2015 has "offline" but it still requires server connection regardless

Ken block is forever immortalized in nfs 2015 that alone makes 2015 special for car enthusiasts

The art direction in 2015 is the reason the game's graphics hold up to this day. Newer games look great, dont get me wrong, but criterion should take a look at this and take notes for the next iteration of nfs, whenever that may happen

[icestray]

Remember watching him and matty c playing this game. Budget builds and stuff. So much memories

[tahkaimartin]

As flawed as it was, this game holds a special place for me.

The last NFS to feature the Toyota Supra 😢

The cost of maintaining the servers is probably covered every few hours by a player somewhere buying fifa packs

[conel]

Online only games should allow the players to host their own servers after the online is shut down officially. There is no reason we should not be able to play a game that we paid for

You know, Accursed Farms's stopkillinggames initiative actually is using The Crew for its goal to prevent developers from being able to kill games like this.
I think it would be worth discussing since I imagine a lot of the people who watch you own The Crew and can participate.

[TheFatFox]

I will NOT purchase a game that cannot be played offline, ever again.

When I purchased The Crew and NFS 2015, I did not ever consider the fact, that one day the games would be unplayable. If I had known, I doubt I would have ever purchased them. It just never crossed my mind, seing as this had never been an issue for me in the past.

As one who frequently played/plays both games from time to time, it saddens me that I won't be able to now/in the future. It kinda seems like theft.

I sincerely hope that Accursed Farms's - stopkillinggames initiative - actually will make a difference.

And I really do respect BlackPanthaa for bringing the issue some much needed attention.

wait a second... nfs 2015 is almost 10 years old.. what the actual fuck?! it aged so well

[I_O]

2015 looked more realistic and gritty than the previous titles before it. It revived the NFS franchise to what it’s strong at. Customization and car culture. NFS is one of my fave games of all time because of this and the the pure nostalgia of 2015. BO3 came out during that time and it was awesome as well. The PS4 was having an incredible library of games and 2015 was an amazing start to a revival in a new generation.

*2015 was LITERALLY made for Theo.*
*Go back and watch that old video with Theo in the audience asking for a return to progression and customization.*

It looks perfect because of the vibes that the night and light rain give it with all the reflections and even the music. It's the PERFECT car culture ambiance.

7:20 the visuals are a perfect example of baked hand crafted lighting designed for a fixed time of day, high quality color grading, and e3 wet roads desease.

The smaller map also helps as I wouldn't be surprised if the lighting is baked into large textures instead of probes like a big map would require. These days raytracing could help replicate this with less restrictions but you're still left with barebones colorgrading and less inspired map design.

[blackmario]

The day 2015 goes offline, it’ll be a sad day….for now I’ll prepare myself by keeping on playing it as much as I can!

[Enra]

holy shit this game is almost 10 years old, i remember seeing the teaser and thinking that need for speed finally going back to its root. it's still a really beautiful game.

[icantthinkausername]

This game holds a special place in my heart because in 2015 i bought the ps4 and this was the second game that i bought for the console and i loved it because i also loved cars, i was even skipping school to play it. I also discovered this channel around that time

[LuisCruz-yl]

I was just playing this game last night again all over again. And it takes me back to when the game released. Its honestly so beautiful. Remains one of my favorites along side most wanted and underground

[Camothor]

It is still crazy how playing this game now you will still find players often
