Need For Speed Heat Could Have Been Great

Heat is top 5. Butttt Hear me out lol Story way to short - unlock the tires n nitro colors for the m3 - bring back pursuit breakers ! Like with graphics now that donut ! Would be funny af ! I actually like chrome rear lights on some cars lol …the way to wrap a car is …wow idk the word….but dam lol it’s ALOT ! All my cars Simple af lol. Slow motion should have been added as a perk I think. N that game coulda been 100$ I would buy it lol if it had all this smh 🤦🏾‍♂️ well not to mention the cars …let’s keep nfs street ! All the top crazy cars ain’t necessary…still no Supra ..but we got a regra idk how to spell or say it ..these cars don’t be at no meets lol. We got Ai when games gonna say our name instead of “player” “driver” yea ok ok I’m done. W vid ! Oh the type R well nvm ..I ain’t neva seen that bruh lol dam no 2018 Si lol jkjk whaaaa !

Honestly, my main problem with the cops is how you cant actually fight them, you hit them, then they take no damage and youve lost half of your car health.

Heat to me felt like an apology for 2015 and Payback.

how has it been 5 years I swear this shit came out like a week ago

One of my biggest issues with NFS Heat is the treatment of the cover car. They deadass signed a 1 year exlcusivity deal with Polestar for it to be in the game only for 5 minutes in, the car is in the water lol. It would've made 100000x more sense if Mercer popped out with the Polestar instead of the BMW. Would've made the Polestar more memorable too. On top of that, it wasn't even in the game as a buyable car Day 1. They added it in a patch, and then it might just be one of the slowest cars ever.

What I think is strange in the newer versions of NFS is them desperately wanting to tell an elaborate story when older games like NFS:MW or Burnout Paradise have shown that just having a goal to reach at the end is enough. Most Want was literally just “here is a list, get to the top and your car back”.

Loved Heat in spite of it being fairly soulless. It was the best offering of the Ghost era, didn't have any funky DLC plan, and had a unique mechanic with the day/night thing.

20:00 "Anna has her car impounded after posting her very illegal racing on the internet in her very distinctive 350z. I mean girl, there is no way you did not see this coming, no one is that stupid" meanwhile tiktok street takeover events XD

Ah yes, my favorite NFS:H character; the Nintendo Gamecube.

I miss the days of your car not having a health bar. Cops were challenging in MW and Carbon because they would simply try and overwhelm you. You could battle them, ram them and take them out one at a time or use the various pursuit breakers to take out multiple cops at a time. Now if you try and trade paint with a crown Vic, they take no damage and you lose a quarter of your health bar. It just makes you want to not engage with them not because they’re scary, but more because it’s just a chore

Heat is probably in my top 5 NFS games Its like Dying Light but with Cars

i remember making a reddit headcannon (if thats the right term). ahem, as from what i've said... "what if mercer was sending the cars and parts off to the collector in payback?" To me, makes sense as the collector wants as much cars, fairly or very unfairly. so unfairly he'd have people on a payroll. this could be something, or i have a fuel leak in the house. probably both

Heat was a hit and miss. +Progression +Customization +Vibe +Races +Cop chases -Short story -Updates -Support Overall, I had a lot of fun with Heat

Sigh, Heat really wanted me to get back into NFS after having fun with the Studio app, but it never got beyond that sadly.

Like it’s still crazy to me how much potential Heat had. Daytime could’ve more events like Speedtraps, Lap Knockout, Sector Shootout and for nighttime a hard difficulty with more roadblocks, spikestrips, Heat levels per vehicle, and impound strikes. Also the Polestar 1 should’ve been Lucas secret car or the car Mercer’s was driving out the container.

The NFS fandom is one of those “impossible” to please IPs. So often they get compared to Most Wanted and underground. People just end up no realizing the good in these new releases until it’s years later. I enjoy every entry that comes out. I’ve been playing NFS since the late 90s.

I always felt that the new Need For Speed (reboot) games should've gone more for a midnight club LA aesthetic and story with the driving of a simcade, such as Gran Turismo. NFS always could've been the customizable car Simcade. Like maybe less cars, with more customization, like maybe you can buy a silvia/180sx, and turn it into multiple variations or somewhat different body-styles like Sil-80s or S15.5s, giving more reasons to acquire multiple of the same cars. Imagine a NFS where it has the driving physics of a Codemasters game, I think it could be amazing.

Heat had great potential but failed because EA is delusional and greedy for money. Developer ghost games HAD plans for nfsheat but couldn’t due to EA’s sorry obnoxious way of always putting the dollar over the customers

In another video I heard someone saying that "Need for Speed Heat was a love letter from the series" and it is so true. Aside from the soundtrack the lighting during the night time is crazy good and the loading menus are just immaculate. It is really one of the best addition in the series. Love your video man, keep up the good work !

The best need for speed has been since 2010. They were so close to a perfect game too, it's a shame they couldn't perfect it in time
