Thanks everyone for tuning in to the 100th episode of Direct Comparison! Really appreciate all of your support, and here's to the next 100 episodes! For those asking - yes there will be a RDR2 PC v XboxX comparison. There's a ton of projects I'm working on, including a Death Stranding video, GRID comparison, and plenty more. I haven't even gotten a chance to start "Outer Worlds" yet. Stay tuned and bare with me, October and November are some of the busiest months for Game Coverage. Also, I have been working on a new website to host written content along with more screenshots that didn't make it into the video. There's probably some kinks that need to be worked out on the site itself - but here's the full written article of today's comparison! www.930gaming.com/post/need-for-speed-heat-vs-payback (Mobile version of the website is really buggy, still working on it)

There's no one in the streets because they're self isolating lol

1:50 "need for speed heat feels almost lifeless" Truck: so anyways i started "flying"

New gamers: Payback vs Heat Old gamers: Most wanted vs Carbon

4:09 actual example of realism

at 1:50, nobody's gonna talk about why there's a floating truck in the mid-air?

I just need nfs most wanted remastered

1:50 *“Need For Speed Heat feels almost lifeless”* Every race I enter roads are packed with cars always spawning and I crash into a lot. Lifeless huh.

7:05 Dodge charger does a burnout Auto-captions: *APPLAUSE*

1:50 when Isaac Newton hasn't discover gravity

1:50 “feels almost lifeless” Truck: I’ll show him!

You can actually hear the clutch plate kicking in NFS Heat. It's kind of great.

"Textures improved a great deal" Sees minecraft bushes

I think the developers should make optional heavy or mild traffic in the settings

1:50 It's a bird! No, it's a plane! No! It's a truck floating in mid air!

NFS is heading in the right direction. A few more improvements and we are back to how it all was .

2:26 Wow the lighting looks great. 2:58 EXCUSE ME WHAT THE F*CK

80%: the flying truck at 1:50 20%: something about the topic of the video

Lifeless as I hit 54 cars on a mountain road at 1am

I think Heat is an improvement,visually and technically. Tho it would have been cool to have a day/night cycle like in Payback and have a silent transition between between legal and illegal races in the dawn and dusk times of day.

“There is fewer civilian vehicles on the road” Me: *litterally crashing into 25 different civilian cars in under 30 seconds*

The day time looks striaght up dead. There needs to be something other than my riced car in the world.

Happy 100th Episode 🎂🥳

“Lifeless” yeah. Until you’re running from the OP cops

2:03 bro what are those shadowss?? XD

KID - Trucks can't fly TRUCK DRIVER - They can KID - No TRUCK DRIVER - 1:50

Now for the REAL question: does Riders On The Storm with Snoop Dogg & The Doors plays when you ride?

The effect when you turn on the nitrous in payback, it's absolutely sick!!! About heat it's not the same feeling, but I like the new graphics of the nitrous!❤

thing i just noticed in heat: on some cars in day and night races, they have vinyls of crews in payback

Congratulations for releasing the 100th episode of Direct Comparison, hope you keep doing these in future.

1:50 Harry Potter became an ups driver

7:28 looks like Burnout Paradise remastered 😂

"Old gamer" : "Most Wanted is better" "Old gamer 2": " Underground is BETTER" Me: Hot pursuit 2

It isn't lifeless, cars are just floating and u can't see them.

Man, all these beautiful graphics makes me want a remastered Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition.

Your videos are always great were the ones to thank you

I honestly never noticed that there were peds on Payback.. wew.

Gravity was discovered in 1660 Trucks in 1659 : 1:50

NFS Carbon was my favorite back in the day, but Heat looks pretty good. Hopefully it will run on my laptop.

We need another NFS like Carbon.

"Feels lifeless" ... you are just not on their level bro, I mean literally. 1:50

NFS: Yeet

7:27 Sounds Amazing

1:50 "Need For Speed Heat is almost lifeless" So lifeless that trucks can fly..

1:37 isnt that vice city

Lets be honest. When HEAT released... Payback died.

That's a tough one man. I'd say it's a draw. They both have their advantages and disadvantages. But are about equal. even with the lifeless layout of heat it's got some pretty impressive visuals. Though I just picked up payback. So I hope it don't disappoint. Thanks for the video! Definitely going to subscribe 😎

1:50 the truck dude be vibin doe 😳

0:04 Wait what THIS IS THE HUNDREDTH EPISODE It was an amazing journey with you and I hope we will continue to be your viewers. And Congrats.

2015’s graphics were the most realistic graphics need for speed ever had

I still play Nfs payback, he give me a lot of vibes about racing

@Nick930 THANKS man for clearly explaining both nfs payback and heat , After seeing this video iam much more ready and satisfied to play NFS HEAT.

As much as Heat, could feel lifeless, dont forget its up to 16 players online now, and online behaves like single player, so seeing other players with a battalion of cops, makes it more lively.

Me: I think graphics in nfs payback look better Me: hears the sound of the engines Also me: who cares about graphics anyways

I personally like payback my self though I feel the direct comparison is not really all that fair considering that payback came out around 2017 and nfs heat came out more recently developers tech has evolved alot more rapidly especially when you compare the texture, graphics, rendering, and story line in nfs undercover back when the ps2 was in its heyday. I did enjoy the comparison. Though it is nice to see just how far these games have came hope the graphics become better and hopefully if theres another nfs I hope it offers more cars and a more driven story line I feel that some of the nfs story lines are not all that connected to the game its self that's just my opinion. Anyways loved the video

1:37 "with bright bxtches" 😂🔆

Something I think you should've have added to the video, which may be in another video you have done, is the "customization scale" featured in heat. If customizing your car is what you like most, they have a 1-10 customization scale assigned to each vehicle, allowing a little insight as to what you can do before you drop hard earned cash on a car you can't tinker with.

Heat: MASSIVE improvement.

Carbon, heat, most wanted (on console) were my favorite but I might be missing one because forgot about it like underground which I barely remember

I love both games, but i love heat even more as its the closest EA has become to nfsmw 2005. Only problems is it allows me to cook bacon on my computer. For such a new generation game, NFS Heat has a lot of problems concerning graphics and resource management. Other than that, the game is amazing

NFS heat sound is just way more crisper.

100% prefer Heat. It is absolutely stunning to look and listen to. Definitely my new favourite game for cruising around in

When you're driving at +330km/h at night, sometimes a street truck will pop up in front of you as a result of you being so fast the game can't handle with rendering, at least for me, when i crash into these street trucks at such speed, it damages me as hard as a Rhino van, it's hilarious... and sad. Also normal cops start to pop up late too, in the beginning i managed to evade those odd spawns by looking at the siren light, it's the first thing that appears of the whole model of the car, wich happens to load too late, when i already crashed into it.

Great comparison! But you should have changed the camera angle to see the sound difference.

2:57 that looks like ps2

A good note about Heats sound design is that not only can you tune your exhaust notes but the different upgrades from clutches, turbos, and engine swaps all make the cars sound different. And example would be the M3 GTR is supposed to have a V8 in it but regular doesn't. But you can engine swap it to it's highest tier which is the V8 swap.

My two favorite cities. Wow. I never knew.

1:51 What is that truck doing?¿

for everyone who notice 1:50 truck in the air, u have hawk eye 😉

Damn. I expected an rdr2 PC release vs console release.

U welcome man you just keep on doing you. Respect🤘😎

2:08 kinda looks like payback doesnt have pixelated images

Gotta say I'm really enjoying Heat. I had re-subbed to the EA Premier so i could play BFV with some friends and then noticed Heat was releasing the next day. I gave it a go and im really enjoying it. It's not quite the spiritual successor to Underground that i had hoped it was but feels like a successor to the NFS reboot of 2015. I was really hoping for drag races to make their return but sadly thats not the case. Even so you can play the full game for $15 bucks or $5 for a 10 hour trial though you are limited to lvl 10. Cheers!

When i listened to the Payback sound effects i was like "God damn how can someone make this better?!" Then the heat one came in and i busted

7:17 who went crazy with the matte paint on the charger?

2:17 "a nice bump to their polygon count" *while showing the exact same traffic light model that uses the exact same amount of poly*

For me Heat's graphics feels little unfinished, but otherwise its perfect

"There's fewer pedestrian vehicles on the road" That must be nice, unfortunately for me i cannot say the same thing... pedestrian vehicles are always in my way in every singke night race, or if I'm just cruising during the day... 😕

1:50 lol the truck is flying

1:50 the truck is floating 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

1:50, gravity EXE has left the chat.

I absolutely love the fact that they made it so the backfire happens sometimes only out of one side of the exhaust system sides like in real life, i really want this game

Honestly for the sound, nfs payback sounds like, well normal, and nfs heat sounds like they pic a microphone in the hood

2:12 the nfs heat tree picture looks like a real picture

I'm just curious, when will NFS make the driver shift his gears, small detail, but annoying in almost 2020 racing games

Can't wait to play heat. Was a little skeptical before this video but it looks like it has everything I like about a need for speed game. Beautiful cars, sounds and a plethora of customization options, all with silly physics. Perfect.

i really liked the charger's bass/reverb sound effect when you change gears in payback, i dont think it makes any sense but man hearing that as my runner car feels good, like an echo in the background as the car's revs changes

1:50 What's The Car Doing Up In The Air?

I picked up the 10-hour trial of Heat, and it's gone by so quickly such was my immersion. The survival elements for night racing make such a large impact to gameplay. The risk of losing all your hard-earned Rep in a chase gives the pursuits real consequences rather than just being an amusing aside. I really liked the differentiation of Rep and Cash, meaning if you're low on one or the other you know what events and conditions you're going to be taking part in and can tune your cars accordingly. Also, whilst the clear-cut classes of Payback might not appear in Heat, there are races that feature more heavy use of off-road sections and some collectables on the map are set away from the tarmac so you'll need to make use of the off-road specialized parts in the Garage to get them; in particular there are several Billboards with dirt run-ups and ramps, which will greatly decrease your chances of getting enough air to hit them if your car only has road-going or track parts. I don't know if it was in Payback, but Heat shows you - when buying cars - the rate to which you can customize your car from 1 to 10, 1 being limited to just wheels, tires and license plates - to 10 with every body panel, corner and fixture being changeable. It has been a deciding factor for me even with the limited range of cars available in the 10hr trial. In my trial, I hit the Rep cap (level 10) in about 5 hours, but i'm sure it would have been faster if I'd focused on one car and stuck to only Night races. As it was, before hitting the cap I'd bought the Infiniti Q60 and modified it to equal footing with my starting Mustang, fully customized them both and did a bunch of collectable-hunting. By the end of my time I had also bought the Range Rover Sport, fully customized the exterior of it and finished the Billboards in a handful of regions. If you look through the current car selection, you'll find some with purple stars in their selection card. These can be gained by completing tasks within races, freeroam and clubs. For instance, hitting every Billboard awards a Nismo R35 GTR, being in a level 50 club awards the Ferrari FXX, and finding all the graffiti designs gets you a 370Z. Whilst this and other elements of the game reminded me heavily of Burnout Paradise, I think that's a good thing; I spent hours in that game finding and doing all the jumps and billboards, so any driving game that makes me excited to do what's essentially busy-work must be doing things right. I will be buying NFS Heat as soon as funds allow, and to be honest this has been the most excited I've been for a racing game since moving to PlayStation after Forza Horizon 3.

Congratulations! Here’s to the next 100!

1:50 look at the sky

not yet played heat only played payback and from graphics point of view it was amazing. liked the video

Great video as always. I hope they give us an option to disable the aggressive sharpening filter and film grain in a later patch. At the moment, there's only a mod on reddit which removes it and it looks way better.

The newest” Need For Speed” was so amazing. I wish they did more like it. I hoped they make something so much like. I loved the spike amy the outlaw guy and the drift guy. It was sick like that. I personally loved how that game played out. It was a bit disappointing after you finish it because you dont have much to do after but overall i would rather want something like that then have a game like nfs heat with hardly any people. Car games should be hype and populated with people and cars.

Thx idk what to chose so u helped me alot i wanna buy heat

1:50 flying car, Check

Happy 100th Episode Anniversary Here's to 100 more!

We don't really need pedestrians in NFS Heat. I mean, we had no peds in old NFS games, like Underground 1, 2, Most Wanted, Carbon and more. (Excluding peds from the start line)

I like that you can hear the gears shifting and not some automatic dual clutch system

For lifeless city, I think they wanted to keep it that way to give out underground feeling
