0:48 not bad for an ECU, but still not exactly in the range that will allow you to take down a 911 Turbo in a drag race.

also, if you are interested, here's a playtest of my take on NFS style drag races. The game got shelved after the whole Unity incident. But, it's at the top of my list for games I think should make the leap to the Godot Engine. The play test is obviously very rough (it was a game jam game, and a lot went unfinished) But I think you'll get the gist of what I was going for. other than the "make it less broken" feedback, I'd be interested to know what you think. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mamXa9amrJ24oqc.html

23:16 I mean $100k is a $100k and while the car is nice, it would probably lose a drag race to a hybrid Camry now. As a result, for that amount of money, there's a lot of other things to spend that money on.

The dragdog is so nerfed that it's barely controllable but it's the fastest car in theory.

1:39 I was actually curious so I looked this one up. I could have swore on a stack of bibles that it was turbo charged, but no apparently. According to the AMG website, it is, In fact, naturally aspirated. So apparently there are versions of the AMG GT that have not yet been ruined.

To make matters worse for Jump on the Jam, there's two or three vehicles BEHIND the parking garage, in the tiny gap between the structure and the large ramp from Return of the Semi. It's only possible to get to them in the PS2 / Xbox releases by getting the slowest possible start. Those same cars also sit there in Return of the Semi. Earlier versions of Revenge allow for more physics tomfoolery, which let me hit the buses at Smackeroni and still make it all the way down. By extension, I managed to get all 84 cars in Drain Damage, perhaps the largest junction where this is possible.

Turns out you did hit every vehicle in Exploding Bay and Swiss Roll. Since the tally doesn't register checked traffic, you have to keep track of it yourself 🤔 Still curious about how Criterion overlooked that flaw. Probably another side-effect of crunch.

You did get 44 vehicles in Dangerous Swerves. The missing 2 are buses parked all the way at the other end of the tunnel ahead, not sure why.

I have tried finding the missing cars at Round the Bend, but even after going far into a different part of the map, I didn't find any, so I have no clue where they could be hidden. Perhaps the different physics for the Xbox / PS2 version helped me, but I managed to hit all vehicles in Drain Damage 😮

@roguedogx2 ай бұрын
for the drag races, early on, it should be do able because the difficultly ramps up as you go through the game. later on, a good tune is your best shot. you'll want to have a really low first gear (wheel spin isn't really a thing in NFSUG2 drag racing), and a tune specifically for as much top end power as possible. your gears will be set by whatever ratio allows you to fully use each RPM range, while staying in the powerband. if you have to fall out of the power band to get the needed top speed, put your "dead zones" in the lower half of the gears (first, second, or third). the great torque multiplier will mean the dead zone will be less pronounce.

Great review! I agree with you on the tracks in 2 vs 1. I still love the tracks in 2, but overall, 1 had the better tracks. I played through all of 2 and the first 3 expansions which I loved. Then decided to go back and play more of 1 and I was surprised that I have a slight preference for the tracks in 1. I still think 2 is overall the better game, but 1 has its advantages for sure. I also miss the basement from 1 and being able to design and customize this area. Having said all the above, I absolutely LOVE both games and both of these are the most fun games I've played in many years! Looking forward to the final alien expansion next week.

My thoughts on the cars: 15: Ah yes, the car most people use in online races. Despite not having the Nighthawk's acceleration, or the WTR's snappy turning, the Extreme Hotrod is almost always the fastest vehicle for any racing event. 14: Even excluding the Nighthawk, the GT's are a fun series of cars to drive. Just really solid. It's even viable in Road Rage events. 13: Cool to drive. Also, the toy version of the 88 special is an absolute beast at taking jumps and barrel rolls (that is, if you can LAND the barrel rolls, which I can't). 12: The Carbon Hydros is a car I've probably slept on. Could be a contender for stunt runs for me (I like cars that jump pretty well and don't slide around after landing a jump). Unfortunately, Showtime roadrules are such a grind :( 11: Fun set of cars for Road Rages. And maybe Marked Man events too (has some agility for the bobbing and weaving playstyle, or even using the brakes to let the opponents fly harmlessly in front of you, where you can tail them for once). 10: Yep, the upgraded Tempesta is crazy xD 8: Very fun to drive. Probably the only Aggression car I'd consider actually racing in. It's good for Road Rages (just watch out for traffic), and a contender for Marked Man. 7: The Hawker is a stunt car purely designed for racing (stunt boost means it can stay off incoming lanes longer and take off road shortcuts without losing as much boost). It's a joy to drive, and is generally great for freeburning in as well. Sadly not that great for actual stuntruns (way too slippery after landing, and doesn't barrelroll as much as I'd like it to). 6: One of the most agile Aggression cars, and can sometimes survive head on collisions. Somewhat struggles to catch upto endgame cars in Roadrage events, but holds it's own when it does catch up. 5: For an Aggression car, the Hotspur has nice acceleration, top speed, and even drifts fairly well (all things most Aggressions cars can't boast about). And it still hits like a truck. 3: Twitchy, very twitchy, for better or worse (ridiculously hard to control while accelerating from a stand still). The Carbon X12 is the fastest and most agile stunt boost car (not counting the Carbon Uberschall which can only be unlocked online). 2: Tap the EBrake while trying to drift, and that will persuade the stubborn 2400 around the corner no problem. A Carbon version of this car with Stunt Boost would have been really neat (but alas). Runner Up: I really wanted to love the Duststorm, and make that the car I always defaulted to when online freeburning. And yes it's pretty fast and very fun to drive, and jumps pretty well, and flatspins VERY well. But it loses control after landing tricky jumps, and is WAY TOO good at barrelrolls (too good in fact you'll never actually land them). If you can master it's impossible to land barrelrolls, you've got a monster for stunt runs. Sometimes it can produce barrelrolls in places most other cars wouldn't even dream about. Runner Up 2: The Fastback is like a early game GT Concept with Speed boost instead. Runner Up 3: The Hunter Civillian is my top pick for Marked Man events. It's just agile enough where bobbing and weaving (and slamming on the brakes) becomes viable enough. And just sturdy enough where it can tank some slams. Of course, nothing in the game is too sturdy vs the cheese the marked man opponents pull off (you'd be shocked at how easily they can take down the monstrous Olympus, clearly the tankiest vehicle in the game). So some strategy is required. Keeping the majority of your opponents in front of you (where they can't slam or shunt you, or randomly TBone you from an intersection) is key. Runner Up 4: I've never even so much as looked at the Cavalry Bootlegger. Maybe I should. I liked the original Cavalry, and this one looks faster and has stunt boost (and looks like it jumps a fair distance). 1: The Uberschall is pretty badass. It's just a pity endgame races in Paradise typically involve zipping through countless traffic at impossible to react speeds, and praying you don't crash. If Paradise had more straighter and longer racing events, the Uberschall would be GLORIOUS to race in.
