We need a NFS based in the 90s to 2000s era because that was the peak of automotive culture

EA never disappoints......... when it comes to disappointing us EDIT: Damn, 1K likes?? Let's go!!!!!!!

Remember, EA might screw it up. So don’t get too excited if it does happen. It would would be great to have it back but times have changed, I don’t think the vibe it had in the past will be the same today. Most wanted is truly loved. And if EA do bring it back, I believe it’ll be the most hated. Due to comparison, or missing items and features, not enough cars ect.

Test drive and NFSMW in 2024?! What a time to be alive

I think it would be smart if they did a Ryan Cooper collection, like they did with Crash for example, where you have a few games with a bunch of shared assets, engine and gameplay elements. It would be cheaper to produce, easier to sell and in general a super good look from the community.

Midnight club definitely needs to come back. It was, is and in my mind remains one of the best racing games i have played

The last line of what cross says got me “you’ll see us again” (you WILL see us again)

I hope the team is as passionate as the Dead Space Remake devs. One of my favorite childhood games done right. I remember asking for years for a DS remake on the Frostbite engine and was blown by it

Imagine a NFS where underground 2 is combined with most wanted 2005…

Sad fact : Blackbox actually worked with Criterion on MW 2012 Build 1, until they got removed

If they actually do this, I really hope they plan to bring NFS Carbon back too!

If they remake Most Wanted, they gotta remake Carbon

I got teary seeing them and how they’re thankful for being remembered Man, I hated his guts in the game but we do love y’all

I always loved playing Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005 back in the day. I can't wait for a potential remake to happen!

Thanks for the information theo have a great day

Loved the original nfs most wanted. I think a remake will be really awesome

Midnight club would be awesome to see back! But one thing I am definitely worried about is if any of these games like NFS MW, Underground 1, Underground 2, Midnight Club etc. will people enjoy it the same as when it originally came out? One thing that gives a game identity is the soundtrack and I’m worried that if any games I listed above were to come out, would they have the same soundtrack? Also as far as customization goes we have real body kits in modern racing games now. Would they go with a remake route and revamp the customization or keep it the same with the fictional body kits. Or maybe both? Don’t get me wrong here I would love to see any of these games remastered with a little bit extra. More missions, online play, cars etc. But I wanna see it done to the best of their abilities.

i feel like maybe can exist a chance of something like this being real, there are two factors that i can think about on why the game can or not be posible. As you said, if they are working on something that big for the community, its weird that she just post about it in the first place. With the contracts they sign, they arent allowed to talk about it. On the other hand, EA made a good work (surprisingly) with the remake of Dead Space, and that makes me have faith that they can make the same with NFS, so, its not that crazy that they just want to remake one of the most famous racing game in their history. But we'll see.

Very cool video black panthaa

⁠This is the only time I personally have felt this but I kinda hope your wrong Theo, cause MW would be an AMAZING remaster. If it isn’t though, Midnight club and TDUSC around the same time frame would be incredible.

EA just doesn't know what to do with NFS and I don't know why. They keep switching studios, delaying it, cancelling shit behind the scenes, releasing reskinned games, it's weird. Why is it so hard? And I buy em all. I always wanna give them a chance and Ghost went from the mess of Rivals to Heat. They got so good at it and then BAM, shut down. Right when they finally had gotten it right and were releasing DLC. I just hope MW Remake is legit and actually turns out good. Being a fan I've learned to keep my expectations in check every game. They go from amazing to dog ish every few years. No idea why.

I really wish with all my heart that this remake is true, and happens soon. I can't wait for it. Thanks for making videos on somewhat untouched topics bro ❤

I also think that KZfaq should do something about misleading trailers and information as well.

personally, i feel like it's best if it's never remade as there could still potentially be licensing issues at the moment, from the music to the manufacturers like toyota and the joint partnership between mclaren and mercedes

I actually would love to see ProStreet remake, loved detailed customization on that game

What i miss most about Most Wanted was the soundtrack!

I'm ready to relive my childhood. I've been playing the original on every single computer I've ever owned. I'm tearing up just thinking about how many lives that game has impacted.

I would like to experience what made the original 2005 Most Wanted so cool and nostalgic

While it's getting more and more unlikely as the days pass I'm still holding out hope for a Underground 1 remaster/remake to come out this year for the 20th anniversary of Underground

I just want another nfs undercover 😭

What I understand from this(I am probably wrong) - You could tell by their body language that they wanted to say more and especially Dean with the smirk and stuck on Uhhh for a minute and Simmone also with how she kept smirking as well - If the above is correct I’m willing to bet this project is definitely on the creative table but everyone is hesitant on how to go about it, hell they may even have reached out to their agents letting them know of a possible return and whatever else but hammering the point that the project is in no way finalized or put into action at this point - Sus as heck that tweet was put up then disappeared fake or not

Just looking at Dean mckenzie's face reminded me of the final cutscene of NFS MW, When he shouted everyone but in pepega mod I love how They are recognized so well

Theres no way... its too good to be true

I think Simone heard that Need For Speed is making a remaster of Most Wanted thinking about the original Most Wanted. I think she didn't knew that Most Wanted 2012 exist and the potential leaks meant that MW 2012 and not the 2005. Then she realised the misconseption a bit later and deleted all those posts from twitter etc. If she knew about the remaster before the potential release, she's not allowed to talk about it yet, which also lead to the deleted tweets/posts. I'm just guessing at this point, but in my head it makes perfect sense.

I want a carbon remake too. Easily my fav NFS. Don't know why but always loved it more than most wanted.

"I want every single unit after the guy."

*Why not in 2025? 20th anniversary.*

I think i would prefer if they made new games that are INSPIRED by previous titles. Need for Speed is known for always trying something new, but in the Black Box era there was the problem that those ideas never reached their full potential due to not having enough time because of the yearly releases.

Look at you, making sense again! Kudos! 🎉

I'd love to see carbon as an extension to nfs mw, to have both locations and stories

But Theo don't get too excited Take-Two's remaster/remake could be bully or even manhunt

You make sense when mentioning the people of now not wanting/interested in the replica of that game. I mean, people do move on and like other things. The thing that I believe worked best in NFSMW was the storyline. That's what made people hooked on the game. I mean, the different kinds of race events that connected to the storyline was superb. I think NFS should know that majority of fans care about storyline and race events, and should be working around those lines in their creations

Need for speed underground 1 & 2, most wanted and carbon from that era, unrivalled

8:50 You said some things about licensing all the cars. But i've read some time ago on reddit that the reason why EA wouldn't remaster the is that there is problem with licensing one car, and that car is the Mercedes McLaren SLR, but i've watched some video like 3 days ago that said that the SLR could be potentionaly coming to FH5. So if that's true then I think there's a big chance we are getting Most Wanted remaster

She's probably just putting it out there to be like, NFS MW Remake let's make it happen! I don't know if she leaked anything. I'm gonna say it's not happening. Definitely not official. I just think many actors have seen how some have become big and have a cult following and maybe they want that too (like the GTA actors). They'd love to see them return and maybe stay in the NFS world. Imagine having characters continue over multiple games like they did back then. I know I'd definitely want them to return and even become characters that stay with us throughout another trilogy or something.

I don't see this happening but i would love for EA to let the Evolution team within Codemasters to make a spiritual successor to Driveclub as a new NFS, that would be a dream come true.

It hit different when Razor said “First I’m gonna take your ride then I’m gonna take your girl”

To be fair to XXII, they did say in the description of that 'reveal trailer' that it was a fan concept, and not official

I mean, it is an exciting prospect. BUT, if it's true, we'll have to set some realistic expectations for this potential game. I think it's going to be very difficult for EA to make a game that lives up to the hype and nostalgia of MW05. With the direction NFS has gone in recent years, EA could very likely be setting us up for some serious disappointment. Maybe I'm being too harsh, but I guess we'll just have to see.

hopefully they're able to replicate that grimy and early 2000s feel somehow it'd suck if they used the same stuff from the recent games

While I would to see a propor remake of MW, I`m not convinced it`ll happen, though I would love nothing more than to see the blackbox games (underground 2, MW, Carbon, Pro Street and The Run, specificly). If they were to do propor remakes of these games, I`d imagine that the main story beats would broadly stay the same, but alot of the finer details would get teaked or remixed in soem way, and the maps would the same points of interest and design cues, while making insividual roads longer, and adding more roads and areas to drive though, in order to increase the map size. The basic game modes would all be there an accounted for, but with quality of life improvements, and maybe some extra event types lifter from later games. Finally, onto the car list an customisarion: I`d imagine that a modern remake of these games would likely feature mostly modern counterparts to the original games`s cars (for example a current gen mustang instead of an 05 mustang for Razer, the Punto would maybe be replaced with a 595 Abarth, the 300c would maybe be replaced with something like a modern charger, the DB9 would be replaced by the DB11, current gen Porsches and Lambos would replace the old ones, ect). I would imagine that they would also add more models that didn`t have a counterpart in MW (like old Volvos, the Polestar, ect), and they would probably keep some of the old fan favourite cars, as well as their current gen counterparts (Say the Murci, the 05 ford GT and the C6 'vette, as well as the Aventador, the latest GT, and a C7 or C8 'vette... The total car list would probably be somewhere between double and triple the initial size, and the customizarion would be on par woth Heat and Unbound. As for the cover car, I can see the replace the M3 GTR with the M4 GTS or something similar, and than make the M3 some kind on unlockable. In doing so they would more easily be able to go with a loose retelling of MW`S story while leaving it ambiguous whether you are playing as the same guy or not, with the M3 unlock being a reveal that you`re actualy an entirely different person who is following in the footsteps of the original guy... This is how I imagin a modern remake of MW playing out, with a similar formula being applicable to remakesl lof all the other blackbox games as well

Excellent Gameplay, Customization and Explanation Brother

Instead of a remake I think a continuation would be better imo. Showing some of the characters being older and what not.

We do need that Original NFS game -Most Wanted 🥵🔥🔥

If you ask me, I think they should bring in an outside studio to work with Criterion and remaster every Black Box game from Underground to ProStreet and call it the Gold Collection or the Nostalgia Collection.

There's one thing though: the news about NFS:MW was published by VGC. VGC has a great track record of only publishing rumors and leaks when they can verify it with one of their sources. Every single leak/rumor people didn't believe initially - Silent Hill's multiple new games, MGS 3 Remake, Persona 3 Remake and so on - was news broken or expanded by VGC when they did have solid sources to corroborate it. If I had to guess though, I'd say this is probably a remaster and not a remake. I don't know, I simply don't think EA will give the necessary budget for a full-on remake of any NFS when they can just give it the Burnout Paradise or Hot Pursuit treatment. People often confuse the two terms and maybe the actress did too. One final note: about Take-Two, there's also Bully. Rumors of a sequel have been floating about for years now. Then some said Bully 2 was cancelled, but as you point out, the same has been said about remasters of GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption. I wouldn't expect Midnight Club coming before any of these other three.

I think id die if this happened. Its been my fave ever since

if they don’t make a remake i atleast want to be able to buy the original version from a proper store

Cross returning as an Bounty Hunter for "one last job" to finish what he started years ago would be an awesome premise for a MW remake/sequel.

You know I think we might. We did deliver the bmw in unbound and there was dialog that said “the owner just got out and this was the first thing he wanted. Hopefully that’s the last we hear of him because he sounds like he means business” maybe, even if it’s not happening, maybe something

That would be brilliant, but more importantly the mechanics are what made Most Wanted aswell.

If NFS MW did a remake... AYE TOYOTA

In payback the drift king was also in there. Honestly one of my favorite games handling aside

When is the new M3 GTR video coming out? It's one of my favourite series. ❤

I was wondering if you got the news or not? Let's see what you think about this. I think it's interesting. Keep up the good work ❤️ Edit: OH IT'S SIMONE?! OOOH. All i heard was "An Actress"

If this becomes true I’d honestly I think it would be better to keep the same physics than to make it more simulated like today nfs I might just be my opinion but changing the physics completely would just make it feel less like wa it originally was like Yh adjust the physics but don’t completely change it it’s just gonna make it feel like an completely different game the best thing is better off remaster to make it more modern graphics that’s the best things for them to do cause once u make the physics feel completely different then the whole game is gonna feel completely different & if this happens then u not gone have the same joy as the original game. like the best route for them is to remaster Most Wanted make the graphics better & adjust the physics an little that’s all & probably try make an NFS game in the future that’ll connect the most to Most Wanted story & revolve the story around the M3 & probably one of the main characters or two from the actual original Most Wanted 2005 game. This is the best route for them to go cause the game is already very old it came out in 2005 completely changing the whole physics isn’t gone turn out right.

Hey does anyone know where I can download the OG mostwanted 2005 download link? I've been looking for this for a while

8:05 Cobalt SS was my main car in MW. Hopes it will come back again in franchise in the future.

If they are doing a remake, do carbon after most wanted.

A friend and I were talking last night about the Instagram post that Simone leaked and we were kinda skeptical, though when the story was posted we defo knew this is probably real. I mean why would Simone and Dean post a story together in the frame? Not taking into fact that what Dean said in it was more than obvious that he was talking about MW. I'm very hyped to see where this goes

I wanna actually be able to re race Razor for his Mustang! This bothered me so much as a kid

Panthaa you should invest into a tripod, cam's a bit very shaky

I’m still skeptical mainly because I just want Most Wanted to be left alone. I don’t want a remake of it. It came out at the right time but I want NFS to move forward not go back to the past. That said, I wouldn’t mind seeing Cross and Company come back and maybe play a role in an update and/or a new game, but I don’t necessarily want another Most Wanted.

This most definitely needs to be real I so want this to happen best nfs ever

As a Pokémon fan, after BD/SP I've never been so excited, yet so terrified at the same time of talking about a remake

MW '05 coming back would be huge. HOWEVER, I'd be more excited for a new Midnight Club game. That was my go to game all the time when I was a kid.

Barely anything gets me excited these days, but I would completely lose my sh*t if a new Midnight Club game is announced.

Better be the 01’ M3 instead of the 06’ like we had in Heat and Unbound

7:09 This is what I hate about modern racing games. You telling me the car is going 200+ km/h? I know this is a demo but this feeling of slow is present in all racing games these days. It was very present in Carbon but wasn't as present in Most Wanted 05

Crazy how NFSMW 2005 and NFSMW 2012 are close to eachother than we (2023) to NFSMW 2012. I hope hope NFSMW 2005 remake is real!

It’s a fake trailer no need to get your hops up guys because the company will not bring this game back

How need for speed underground 2 isn’t the first need for speed game that’s being remade is absolute madness.

Ma la vera domanda è, come fanno ha fare un remake sensa la licenza della Toyota per reintrodurre la supra? Aggiungeranno un'altro veicolo simile al posto di essa? O pure faranno un taglio nella trama?

I've collected a few bits and pieces to safely assume that criterion games had in fact been contracted to work on another nfs. There's like 18 listing on criterions website, more than half of them mentioning either nfs or racing genre. Considering unbound came out around November. Its safe to assume that they'll probably do another 2 or so qol updates and start ramping up on new project. But to have new lead engineer, level designers and rendering artists listed now makes more sense on a new title as opposed to an existing title that should be slowly scaling down to a skeleton crew.

If NFSMW (2005) got remake, I hope they make Palmont City and Rockport City in one universe because the story is link by each other

Ever since I saw that fake trailer that blew up, I’ve been hopeful. Please make it happen, EA.

But, as a community, what is everyone hoping? A remaster like same assets, menus etc but 120fps, or are we hoping for a full on remake? Personally hoping for a port/remaster, cause EA then cant put in their microtransactions and such

Will there be a time where we are able to re play the good old Underground series? Hope so

NFSMW ‘05 was my first and favourite Need For Speed ever. Ever since then I’ve been disappointed by NFS.. if this turns out to be true, I’ll be first in line to preorder!

Godd dam i check back on bro and he got a beard in the hair is crazy im rocking with it 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Ayooooo? This would be epic! Thanks Panthaa

Seeing the recent video of the guy selling the M3, That would be a perfect Easter egg to having us the player be the buyer of the M3 as to kickoff the next Most Wanted chapter.

I will love if the put the story complete from when he run away from Darius and he move to rockport and the after the jump when he return back ❤

Bigger maps, new races ,new blacklists ,more cars i hope yeah i hope

I hope that E.A do not destroy the cops from the original NFS MOST WANTED. While making the remake.

Midnight club? Now that's name i haven't heard in a long time

XXII has been doing that for years, originally started with GTA V content, but was only mods or unreal engine footage

I remember they leaked this during NFS unbound car pickup missions of you delivering the BMW m3 gtr to an unknown clients known as the blacklist.

Odonata uploaded a relatively new NFS MW "trailer" and bro... it's actually SO fire lol. Definitely react to it if you haven't already! I imagine based on his trailer that we hear about Razor tearing up the streets again and formed a new blacklist and we take it upon ourselves to take him down once again. Idk what the actual substance or story can be but as a vague idea lol.

Speaking of Most Wanted, when will we see updates to your M3 not M3?
