I really liked those early games. I think driving stuff became too realistic and boring as a result of the pursuit of realism- which people previously played video games to get away from

my dad really liked the challenge mode and when it transitioned to open world racing he was disapointed.

Open world gaming kills another fan

I loved nfs underground I and II. Although the first was better, because the second forced the players to make their cars ugly.

I think realism in games is a good thing. Not that unrealistic games cannot be good as well, it depends on the kind of game.

I played NFS when I was a kid and it's okay but I liked Forza more, but then racing games are not very interesting for me and I don't play them now, I think they are simple and Forza can't really change much since the one I played on Xbox 360. Driving is still just driving. In this case you might need to add unrealistic elements to a game to change it form what is actually something very simple.

Yes, in fact I am such an NfS otaku that I'm in the process of making my own mod for Most Wanted (2005) for PC at the moment.

A car or something else?

Ah it's going to be a total overhaul of the difficulty, cops, events and retooling all vehicles so they feel less samey. It has been smooth sailing but changing the vehicle handling is quite hard because I don't want to go full sim like other mods.

Changing heat values has been really something... before I toned down from my first test build it took me around 1hr 48mins to lose the cops on the third highest difficulty. I think that might be overkill.
