Comment on Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit for PC Video Review
bilgamesch@feddit.org 1 month agoNFS 4 was the last one I thoroughly enjoyed. Porsche Unleashed was nice too but way different. But the series from NFSII-SE to PU was what I played with friends from elementary school after we got home so it’s a key memory for me and I might be biased.
Gaming back then was just different. The games from that era are the only ones I regularly come back to even after it’s been almost 30 years.

NFS PU was the first ever racing game I encountered with a career mode. It was brutal in that I couldn’t drive with the same skill using just a keyboard like I did with prior titles, and that kind of dead locked my progression until I figured how to use an analog controller on PC. It felt like driving on ice.
Split screen racing was so fun back in the day! Can’t remember the most recent racing title I’ve seen that supported that. I’d take a local LAN multiplayer or self hosted server option as a substitute.
