Need for speed Rivals❎️ Need for speed Advanced Warfare ✅️

Hot Pursuit and Rivals are amazing. They’re not the worst NFS games, just your least favorite.

Unpopular opinion: you don't need customization to have a good NFS game you just need them to be fun .👍

The brutality of Rivals cops is honestly justified lol, especially when you look at the lore and what's happening during chases

Both have their own strengths, I myself love to switch between "Brake 2 Drift" and "Advanced Warfare on four wheels"

Rivals:Has a open world with racer + cops,you can buy cars,buy some tech pursuit,has garage,has upgrades,good cop ai and has a good map,Good Graphics Hot Pursuit:Has a open world but no racer + cops,has missions,has cars to unlock after each race or pursuit,has no upgrade,has a good map,Good Graphics

19:40 one thing to note is that Rivals has it's own chase themes which are absolutely insane

This is probably one of the worst takes in this community, just because it’s not your favorite doesn’t mean it’s bad. Hot Pursuit is one of the best games in the series, while Rivals is also a really fun game.

Real men know hot pursuit 2010 is a stand alone classic every game has something they do better than the other but imo hot pursuit takes the win. I played 7000+hrs on hot pursuit and like 50 on rivals 😂

Rivals all the way.

Pants the type of guy to need flashing lights and subway surfers gameplay to enjoy a game

you have to be lame af to not like these nfs just bc there is no customization options, the origins of the saga is games like hot pursuit

Rivals has an option to play it offline so it's not an always online game. As far as i remember the option is a bit tucked away

Pants the type of guy to prioritize customization over fun gameplay

Rivals is the open world Hot Pursuit

Just because they aren’t your favorite doesn’t mean they’re the worst NFS games. What kind of bias do you have?

Career in Hot Pursuit is just practice/training for the mayhem that is online. Online is a different animal if you're going up against skilled maniacs. The thing about Hot Pursuit Online is that there was never a dull moment. Edit: In Hot Pursuit the opponents racers NEVER used their weapons against you if you were the racer and if you take them down, it's only temporary they do come back just like Burnout. Rivals on the other wheel, the racers are not friends and they will attack you (it's Arms Race 24/7) and if you take them down here, they're out of the race event which kind of contradicts what Zephyr said in the story about teaming up.

The best you mean? Both entertained me more than the "modern" rice your fucking car NFS games.

Rivals is just a legendary game,

Just cuz nfs hot pursuit doesnt feature your favourite jdm sh*tboxes doesnt mean its a bad nfs game bruv

You have to be delusional to call HP 2010 one of "the worst Need for Speed"

Worst take in existence

Hot Pursuit is my absolute favorite NFS. The memories of opening the game on Christmas Day back then is unmatched by any other racer

Ah yes, brainrot. It's obvious you burned all your braincells on tiktok when you call the two best NFS games ever bad

Nfs rivals was my 1st PS3 NFS game, its cops are the most insane thing, love entering the game just to create chaos and carnage just for the sake of it

Not the worst nfs games, just YOUR least favorites.

NFS HP is definitely on the higher Tier, bro is tripping.

Worst NFS? Objectively speaking, they're better than 2015, Payback, Undercover and Nitro

Calling rivals a bad game is a sin to all NFS players

I will never ever hate NFS Hot Pursuit. The insanity of the cops, the sense of speed. I can live without customization of the cars when the insanity of the races are that fun.

Rivals could have been a successor to the Hot Pursuit series, but the amount of bugs and glitches really killed the game's potential, and the pvp system on paper looks good, but hot pursuit pvp is much better. Freeroam Cops vs Racers is really difficult to do imo.

NFS Rivals no questions!

NFS Hot Pursuit 2010 is a classic. Great car list, game play, had the nostalgic Classic NFS era feel to it. The Pre Underground series. NFS Rivals is similar. If you grew up with the classic era of NFS from 1994-2003, than you would appreciate the two games. Hot Pursuit and Rivals had the classic NFS Feel to them. They were the furthest thing from the worst games tbh.

*This isn't Payback.*

Worst?! How very dare you pants! Undercover, Payback, ProStreet and ‘15 are all worse games than these two. Hot Pursuit is one of the best ones! Madness, utter madness this one.

You are my target. You are my Rival.

Hey now... These games were what I played in late high school. Some of my best years timing the NOS to 'Edge of the Earth' and just being immersed in casual gameplay and seemingly endless open highways.

Rivals is goated. Try convincing me otherwise

They're the worst to your ass. While the huge majority or us love these games.

I lost all the respect for Theo because he just want's modificaton feature in nfs not gameplay. That's why he likes nfs 2015 more. Because it has horrible gameplay but ok customization.

This guy never plays the original Need For Speed games before Underground. Hot Pursuit is still Awesome!

There are worst NFS games more than Rivals.

Hot Pursuit is a much better game than Rivals, Undercover and Payback. Not even close to one of the worst NFS games.

Knowing blackpanthaa there's gonna be bias

I remember playing Rivals offline all the time because we didn’t have WiFi for a while

Hot Pursuit 3 was what ignited my love of fast cars when I was 6. I didn’t care about customizations because just getting to drive a Lamborghini Countach at high speed was all I wanted. So when these “hot pursuit styled” games come out, I’m on board.

imma be honest, I loved Rivals, not because of story or customisation, but because of the cops. One of my favourite NFS games because unlike most recent NFS games you literally ''NEED THE SPEED'' and for that Rivals is a great ''escape the cops'' game rather than whatever NFS 2015, payback and unbound do

As someone that constantly have litle things to do, i just cant play straight for an hour so i prefer Hot pursuit cause the Rivals sometimes just have endless pursuits

NFS Rivals essentially builds on Criterion’s Hot Pursuit formula and added free roam which definitely added to the multiplayer experience. It’s Burnout Paradise but with cops, licensed cars, and weapons. I would prefer the classic Hot Pursuit formula with no weapons and no brake to drift, but since the old Hot Pursuit format would probably not draw as much interest with the current player base and customization is not the point with Hot Pursuit and Rivals, it makes sense the developers would need to try something different to draw more players to the game.

Nope, Hot Pursuit is the better game (also it's my favourite non-Black Box NFS so it's not even close to "the worst" NFS imo) A couple of minor corrections: - Interceptor mode in Hot Pursuit is not on a set path. The racer can take any path at junctions and can even do a 180 (I found it very irritating when they did that x3) - NFS Rivals is not always online

I can't say NFS rivals or HP are the worst or anywhere near bad, when Undercover exists. That game, is honestly awful, the only slightly redeeming factor is it's carlist and alright story, compared to the games that came before it, its handling, physics and graphics are awful, the customization feels less than previous games like carbon, prostreet. And the open world couldn't feel any deader, atleast with carbon's open world theres music while you drive and the map is small enough to not feel like you're just endlessly driving and is actually fun, undercover freeroam is jusy boring and frustrating at times due to the handling and AI drivers. Rivals and HP are good, while they do have flaws, they don't feel as drastic as undercover.

Yes, yes it is. Also I legitimately can’t believe how much people still enjoy this game. I love making content on it and connecting with people who also love it. This game is the reason why I’m a KZfaq partner to begin with.

I was literally playing NFS Rivals as this video was uploaded XD.

deadass giving Theo hate just cuz of his opinions is crazy. yall mfs gotta get off the internet for a bit and understand that not everyone has the same likes or dislikes. and on the point of NFS and its current state. handling is something they’re still struggling with lowkey, understandable, sure good point. but yall CANNOT be serious if you think customization is a license plate and 5 Colors.😭😭 NFS is about self expression, you want your car to be YOURS. it doesn’t ruin the game completely, right. but it definitely is a big mark to miss considering the game is about turning a nothing car into something. the real cope is yall dawg.😭😭

Unpopular opinion: I really enjoyed NFS Rivals, I mean the chance to have players playing cops trying to take you down is so competitively exciting! I wish to bring such gameplay back, I'd say RIVALS was my favorite NFS.

I will never look at the videos Black Panthaa uploads of him not being a fan of Hot Pursuit, and not think that its his most dog water take ever. Still watchin though lol

Rivals cops test: *starts the race on a McLaren P1, which one is like one of the fastest cars in the game*. Hot pursuit test: *starts the freaking second or third race of the whole game*. RiVaLs DeFiNeTeLy TaKeS tHiS rOuNd. And that's the whole comparision. I personally think, that Rivals is just a boring game - the dark atmosphere is more like a minus rather than plus, the graphics are absolute monstrosity with useless unrealistic billions of effects. The hot pursuit instead has vibes of flying through the most beautiful seaside landscapes at very high speeds - pretty simple altitude, but it really works for me.

hot pursuit is for men rivals for the boys btw i played both so much, hot pursuit is a polished games with old mechanics and modern graphics, rivals on the other hand is a broken mess full of glitch, bug and internet problems, and the game in general in not balanced, hot pursuit its easy to play for non-fan people, while rivals its so ultra complicated to learn. imo if u want just to play and have some fun after a work day just play hot pursuit man, and if u really are mad with yourself play rivals, the game with the most amount of bugs i ever seen.

Hot Pursuit is a timeless formula of the original NFS essence : Cops vs Racers. Rivals is basicaly Battlefield with cars, with a good map. No customization ? Dont care, these games are fun

nah, this comparison video felt biased af ngl

Both Rivals and Hot Pursuit 2010 has the best charm in the art of Supercars showcase dedicated for the real classy petrolhead that of course a Ricerground typical people that like to ruin the car by putting the inappropriate widebody and wing like spoiler plus blink blink neon won't understand

These two are Hypercars and Supercars ERA ,nowdays its all about customization dont get me wrong i like customization but the feel of hypercars going is on another level not like some puny RSR is beating P1 GTR or rgera that is not acceptable.

Watching this man get flamed in the comments for his terrible takes is more enjoyable than this video 😂 🍿

These are you least favorites my man, because Hot Pursuit 2010 is one of the best of sure

Hot pursuit is legit one of my favourites

Hot Pursuit is miles better than any NFS game in the last 10 years and Rivals only recently became playable on pc.

Rivals is just a modern NFS HP2. Change my mind

DUDE RIVALS LOOKS AMAZING, AND RUNS AMAZING. As long as you set it up took me a minute to get 60fps it was locked at like 720p 30fps for some reason. Customization hasn’t been the best however I haven’t had this much fun since I was a kid outside of drifting on unbound, I’m currently enjoying it more than payback by far I’m enjoying it more than unbound to be honest sometning about the tasks feel more like tasks that you can do vs unbound yes you can do them but ehhhhhhh.

Hot pursuits handling is way better

This is why NFS is in that state because of you Theo. You're the reason why the franchise pushed for more grinding and customization and we even got a worst one, and that's Unbound. This is why the tuning culture made most of the community so fucking delusional and close minded. NFS ruined because of these die hard MW 2005 fans but the toxicity alone has the same level that DOTA 2 had and also COD.

I’m saying in my own opinion if you wanted to win and complete rivals you had to be a very skilled player

I definitely thought Hot Pursuit was much better. I never enjoyed Rivals. We know Rivals was rushed, and you could feel it too. Hot Pursuit had "soul", it was a cohesive well put together package. From the small things like audio design in pursuit abilities, like turbo for example, to UI and map design. Rivals in comparison is like an engine tech demo. Hot Pursuit 2010 is one of my favorite racing games ever, I have played through it multiple times over the years. So I'm probably biased, but I love the game.

6:56 You can also play Rivals offline within the matchmaking settings. The only thing that requires internet is autolog when you first boot up the game.

14:31 IIRC, unlike 2015, Rivals can be played offline. It is even cracked on PC if I recall.

Rivals have unique cars on both sides and pursuit tech , HP has almost every car is currently available on both sides , Visual customisation is available in Rivals and HP Remastered in an update. I'll say both are best but Rivals is goated because the intense of the cop chases

"The best of the worst" is just clickbait. Undercover on PS3/XBox 360 objectively is the worst with it's many performance issues, bad storyline, a shotty revamp of Prostreet's handling model, and the unfortunate circumstances of BlackBox and how they not only had to keep pumping out yearly releases at the time, but also had their team split by EA with some assisting development on Skate 3 and one other project (I forgot what it was). Even Nitro despite being a weird Mario Kart like cartoon racer at least performs well enough on the Wii (inferior hardware to it's counterparts). Hot Pursuit and Rivals were Criterion's way of trying to bring a fresh take to the OG NFS games with a new version of Burnout's handling model (since that's what they knew how to implement). Now I like customization as much as the next Underground/Most Wanted fanboy, but frankly the lack of it is an anthill that fans blew up into a mountain as the supercars that make up the rosters of Hot Pursuit and Rivals are beautiful enough on their own, and the experience should always put the driving first (pretty much the reason there were complaints about too much avatar clothing in Unbound LOL). I think the problem people REALLY have with brake to drift in NFS is because its a constant reminder of the franchise EA abandoned (Burnout), and that because of this reminder it "just isn't NFS", yet when I play Hot Pursuit or Rivals it still feels like NFS to me.

The cop mode is the reason these 2 are my favourites. If every NFS had a cop mode, these 2 might not be my favourite as chasing custom racers as the HSTF seems fun as opposed to vehiclrle warfare

NFS Rivals hasn't aged a day

Nfs 3 hotpursuit, high stakes, hotpursuit 2 were all of the same DNA. That was what nfs was. Influencers like this have given the wrong feedback and ruined nfs. Customisation is like a dessert, it's of no use without a full meal ( main core game). The state of nfs unbound speaks for itself.

14:33 Rivals is playable offline unlike 2015. It literally has a 'Singleplayer' option in the settings that the game will dump you into even without internet

I love rivals, but hot pursuit i also like a lot.

Rivals is not always online

for need for speed rival, if you just want to play alone offline without a risk of disconnect, you can go to all drive settings in the hideout and choose the mode there. (single player exist). but, the game will still not launch later when the server are 100% off since it always launch in online mode.

The fake camera shake or “handheld camera” effect when you go full cam is killing my OCD 💀

Bro cant handle colors darker than light grey

Rivals is the worst, i prefer Hot Pursuit

rivals is better then hot pursuit I would agree in all grounds the cops are more brutal however the handling in hot pursuit is by far better I have to use the cheat engine to hack the speed and the trials are insanely a pain in the butt in rivals its down to the nano seconds to get gold but other then that I love hot pursuit and rivals but the cops if you run straight pass a cop car they come after you no matter what you can't go under the speed limit and pretend you aint doing anything wrong so however the weapons are better in hot pursuit since you get four of them in rivals you can only choose two pursuit tech in rivals which I don't car for but I will revisit them every now again it's too bad that no one is playing online mode on rivals a whole lot anymore not since the next gen of need for speed came out if I were going to make another need for speed it would be a combination of rivals and hot pursuit. rivals cops large map hot pursuit handling and hot pursuit weapons that's gotta be in the next game and have a bunch of steam trophies to get that's what's need for speed games. if you agree please like

Hot pursuit has much better multiplayer gameplay balance(yes there is some op cars). Including map design. Every path and shortcut are well designed and have a reason. Not just randomly add many meaningless path and call it openworld. Handling in Rivals is really feel the same on all cars. When HP actually feel different depends on engine positon/weight. And I hate shockwave spam in rivals mp races. Also because there is no parts upgrade in HP. It is lot easier to get close racing / fair racing on mp. In Rivals it is always matchmaking with under power / low level new players in the room.

I’ve played rivals on the ps3 and it’s been pretty good for me. Only problem is with prob be the map glitch, where you get stuck or freeze, but those only happen when I’m in a long game session.

For me, I still love NFS Street Era (Underground 1 to Carbon) but I say NFS Supercar Era is the coolest era (Hot pursuit to Rivals).

my partner loves rivals but i love hot pursuit. id fight for some of those points back for hot pursuit. the cars do actually all feel a bit different based of weight. the overall handling is smoother than rivals. and the handbrake is awful in rivals but is useful in last second situations in hp. and the map and music for hp is better, because they fit so well together and in rivals you barely hear the music anyway do to always being in a pursuit.

14:24 I just opened NFS Rivals on PC with my internet turned off. It ran offline just fine 😅

I love the burnout paradise song that plays over n over again.

I honestly love both of these games what I find w Rivals is more of an Intense game itself & its story + Zephyr on who we play as is like some mysterious character in the lore of rivals itself & the cops are a lot more aggressive than any other nfs game besides heat I’d say rivals is my top favourite game in the franchise & its a proper nfs game & feels like I said “intense” nothing compared like hot pursuit. Especially with the cop side as well, & they’re a lot more car options to choose from, but I do love myself a bit of hot pursuit myself as well, I just don’t really appeal towards HP than Rivals but the only thing that doesn’t make sense w HP is its story there’s barely anything in that besides Rivals where it actually has something to pay attention to. That’s all of what I’ve got to say I still love HP obviously & the only thing I love about Pursuit is that they’re a lot more cars. Thing I forgot to mention w rivals compared to Pursuit is the pursuit tech u can actually use something against to defeat the cops unlike HP has ever done.

Honestly I only played hot pursuit remastered I have to say I like it more than rivals by just seeing the game play and in hot pursuit There is pendulum which I like 3 songs from pendulum

U better change that title or opps gonna pull up

Imagine :✨Rivals Unite✨

Rivals is top 5 for me. Just hit different in 2013

It’s a difficult decision to make. Rivals has the police Lexus LFA, but HPR has the Zonda Cinque. Hmmmm… Also, KZfaq didn’t ban you because you said please, lol

Hot pursuit is my favorite out of those two games that you just showed me 😂😂
