I understand all that but even today it still doesn't look 'bad',i used to play Test Drive 3..and at the time,it was great graphics but looking at it now,terrible
I'd drop some serious coin if EA would re-release this game and NFS High Stakes. Keep everything exactly the same (music, cars, etc) just update the graphics.
You know it would be really cool if just a group of people who really like this game and are able to make mods and textures'n stuff they could just make a remastered edition. I hope that's gonna happen some day.
Or just create the game from scratch from next-gen game engines like Unity or Unreal (I know that Unity cars are possible, but I don't know about Unreal). Edit: Cars in Unreal Engine 4 can be created.
Back then I had only a few games and because of the lack of choice, I played several of the tracks in this game over and over again, I had most of the tracks totally memorized. It helped that the European tracks were beautiful. I can't imagine doing that for any game now.
Best game of NFS series. Mega epic cars. Mega epic driving. Mega epic physics. Mega epic graphics. Mega epic sound. Mega epic history. NO BITCHES. NO BULLSHIT. PURE CLASSICS.
Well since NFS are revisiting Hot Pursuit and High Stakes with Rivals they should revisit this with a Porsche 2014 or Ferrari Unleased or even Chevy Unleashed.
Nostalgia! This game made my childhood, and made a forever porsche fanatic, I love Porsche,all porsche from 356 to a 919 lemans. Maybe one day i will own one.
can't believe this is already 16 yrs old. played it alot with my brother back in the days even though our pc couldn't handle the graphics so we had to play without textures ( yellow and pink tracks, no buildings and so on xD ) and a fps of 10 or so. still i want to buy it again :D
Played this since I was a little kid, spent so much time fixing up the used cars and farming cash, admiring the cars.... and now I have a 944 Turbo. Sent chills down my spine when I launched the game and saw my ingame 944T.
It was a amazing game with stunning graphics and great physics (i could really feel the weight of the car) at that time. But I guess what I love most was the atmosphere of the way the tracks blended to the surrounding nature. So relaxing!
Great game, I still play it from time to time (it works great on my Windows 8.1 PC, though I have a Windows 98 SE gaming PC on the way that I'm looking forward to playing it on). Oh yeah, out-of-the-box, you could play this game in 1280x1024 resolution if your PC supported it, which was like high definition back in my childhood lol It wouldn't be until the Xbox 360 when we'd start seeing high definition on consoles, like 5 years after this game was released. I play both, but when it comes to old multi-platform games, especially in the late 90's-mid 00's, PC gaming was far more advanced. Not to mention, PC gamers had 1600x1200 resolution available, which isn't too different pixel-count-wise from modern 1080p. My old Xbox and PS2 systems rarely offered any HD (720p+) games, with 480p provided at best (yes, there were a few exceptions like GT4). Back on-topic, I still think this game looks great today, especially in high-resolution. Thanks for sharing!
I remember playing this game with a keyboard and couldn't imagine it being any better. Just reloaded it on my computer yesterday and I'm using a Logitech Momo gaming wheel and it's on an entire different level!
This brings back so many memories. Specially of simpler times when the only thing I knew to do on a computer was play NFS and Captain claw 😂 and there was another game, COD, I guess the first one. It was 2d. No internet. Just these games and MS Paint. ♥️ Good 'ol days
The best I've played is NFS HS and PU (Porsche 2000).Those are the golden years Uve really handled that car perfectly.The most slippery car I've raced is 1975/78 911 Turbo
13 years ago I used up all my saved money to buy this game.. still 13 years later this is my favorite NFS ever.. Car handling/ damage and AI, awesome tracks and a lot of cars.. NFS team hit the peak with this version and been on the down side, ever since..
Best NFS ever, I played it when I was 15:). In my opinion it has the best menus, soundtracks and Porsche soul. I would pay a big money if they remake it with modern graphics.
Brings so many memories. My cousin used to play this and everytime I would get into his account he would go crazy and scream loud cause he didn't want his cars to get fucked and has them get repair
Good driving, it was nice to behold this game again. Baller soundtrack. I played NFS Hot Pursuit and High Stakes the most, but I gotta admit, this might just be the best NFS they've ever churned out. The others, of course, have much more car variety, but this one accomplished something special in the series. Wish they'd make a sequel to this or, rather, a spiritual successor. Ferrari, maybe Mercedes. But not while they cater to kids and casuals. They'd make a sensationalist travesty of it.
"Schwarzwald" really got me curious as I've driven there many times IRL, but even the trees are wrong here, let alone the fairy tale buildings. With it's great roads the area should be rediscovered by racing games some time.
This was a real next-gen game if you compare it with other NFS games before. You have a 3D-cockpit which is lightening if it's in the sun. It has realistic driving physics. It looks really beautiful. The forest background is not worse than GT5 ^^ Yesterday I put NFS Shift, Undercover and Underground 2 (which I used to like very much) but those are disgusting. Nice cars, nice tracks, totally ugly driving physics, even Underground 2.
Best racing game ever. All stock multiplayer lobbies with no collision. Played for hours. If you got a good group of fair players, then you could turn on collision
thx, I'll look for it on steam. But alas, I'm a huge racing fan, and can't see any game that can satisfy my needs like cmr 2.0 or nfs porsche did back in the day. Anyway thx again
The graphics in this game at that time was amazing
agree
I understand all that but even today it still doesn't look 'bad',i used to play Test Drive 3..and at the time,it was great graphics but looking at it now,terrible
Yup
Have you ever heard of Gran Turismo 2000?
@@MrLawstorant What about it?
*Memories!* When I played this like 7 years old boy, I told myself *"One day I will own Porsche"* ... now I own _944S!_
life goals broo
goals :D
Ahoj Crafty :D
Ou Cz :3
Same, but still not own a Porsche :D
One of the best racing games! Childhood memory
i think you should go back to childhood and leave adulthood....
I'd drop some serious coin if EA would re-release this game and NFS High Stakes. Keep everything exactly the same (music, cars, etc) just update the graphics.
Thomas Anderson same here
Remake.
I think the graphics need to remain just as they are. It's part of the magic
This game has best tracks ever!
The best NFS ever, awesome music, good physics, and sooo many porsches. Good memories. :D
That moment when Need for Speed in 2000 has cockpit camera yet 15 years on it doesn't. Awesome.
This game must remastered
haha this game as old as me lol. played it when i was 3 :(
At least we have Forza 6.
You know it would be really cool if just a group of people who really like this game and are able to make mods and textures'n stuff they could just make a remastered edition. I hope that's gonna happen some day.

Remake its a better option.
The end - nailed it. Porsche Unleashed was the best one out of the NFS series.
Is the best so far. Let´s wait for the new one
when i was a child i played hours in the game cause i had no internet :D
+Christian “csh92” Schmidt those memories...back when Windows XP's blue theme was the shit
Back then I had only a few games and because of the lack of choice, I played several of the tracks in this game over and over again, I had most of the tracks totally memorized. It helped that the European tracks were beautiful.
I can't imagine doing that for any game now.
Best game of NFS series. Mega epic cars. Mega epic driving. Mega epic physics. Mega epic graphics. Mega epic sound. Mega epic history. NO BITCHES. NO BULLSHIT. PURE CLASSICS.
+zahardzhan ♥ War Thunder true dat. it would be great to see remake. "ferrari unleashed" or something similar and without fast&furious bullshit
True!
+zahardzhan ♥ War Thunder I liked the physics most. T'was like a simulation.
+Damon Adrian there was have a cheat to enable cops in AI traffic, it was so fun game :)
I think there were some missions with cops
Ahh, the nostalgia.... It's amazing to think that the handling/physics are STILL better than in most new games.
Best tracks ever made for a racing game,at his time amazing gameplay!
The only NFS I ever liked.
ShockD me to
+Bio logy I wouldn't agree with you on that, try out NFS Underground 2, traffic can screw you over very bad
***** what were the earlier releases, wasnt this the 4th NFS? if so, NFS 3 is the second good from that time :P
***** don't remember anything from the 2nd one, I remember police on the 3rd one and I liked the tuning and free-roam on Most Wanted and underground 2
+ShockD Same, I was an addict
BRING THIS GAME TO STEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you man, you've brought me a Wonderful and nostalgic feeling
This was such a good game for its time :)
Hopefully EA will someday make another NFS like this.
50 Years of Lamborghini maybe?
That would Be awesome
+Racing Video Games BMW or Mersedes is my choice
Mercedes or Audi i hope. Did you seriously say bmw? lol
BMW is legendary
Tahbib Ahmed Bmw is shit lol. Mercedes and Audi are legendary, racing history and everything else.
I remember the game having very low score and being at the bottom of "best NFS games" lists at one point, idk why is that the game is awesome!
Ign and gaysprout, meta critic can't understand the classics
One of the reasons I ever got into cars. 💗 Thanks for helping me relive a childhood memory. 👍
i like NFS Porsche unleashed, than NFS MW, no cops chasing you! just race! that's why I like NFS Porsche unleashed ever;-)
damn, this game was fancy! played it with my bro several hours!
wow i used to play this game all day long as a kid :'D
btw that green car at 00:35 was my favorite.. xD
Neptune's Beard Yea same here dude...ah :')
Well since NFS are revisiting Hot Pursuit and High Stakes with Rivals they should revisit this with a Porsche 2014 or Ferrari Unleased or even Chevy Unleashed.
a chevy unleashed would be horrible. just horrible.
AHHH THE NOSTALGIA!WHEN I WAS 7 YEAR OLD I USED TO PLAY THIS GAME :')
This game was my childhood
Nostalgia! This game made my childhood, and made a forever porsche fanatic, I love Porsche,all porsche from 356 to a 919 lemans. Maybe one day i will own one.
Still better than any gt game
Best Need for Speed so far... such a good game.
can't believe this is already 16 yrs old. played it alot with my brother back in the days even though our pc couldn't handle the graphics so we had to play without textures ( yellow and pink tracks, no buildings and so on xD ) and a fps of 10 or so.
still i want to buy it again :D
Simply put, the best game ever
Played this since I was a little kid, spent so much time fixing up the used cars and farming cash, admiring the cars....
and now I have a 944 Turbo. Sent chills down my spine when I launched the game and saw my ingame 944T.
congrats!!
It was a amazing game with stunning graphics and great physics (i could really feel the weight of the car) at that time. But I guess what I love most was the atmosphere of the way the tracks blended to the surrounding nature. So relaxing!
Such a beautiful memories.. best game ever ! NFS Porsche ☝️
This video brings back many good memories. Thanks for uploading!

I love this game!
When i was 5, i couldn't stop playing it and the graphic at it time was like "HOLY SHIT!!! IT'S SO REALISTIC!!!".
IKR!!! I played this all the time
Holly cow this reminds me of how epic this game was, with all the skid pad stuff, car delivery, chases, lush forest tracks.
BEST NFS ever
classiest NFS ever. can't believe the shit they churned out since. this game made me fall in love with Europe and the tracks are fking legendary
Man i couldnt stop plaing this game and it was at a friend.I never wanted to go home.
The best NFS ever!
I remember playing this game with a keyboard and couldn't imagine it being any better. Just reloaded it on my computer yesterday and I'm using a Logitech Momo gaming wheel and it's on an entire different level!
I played this as a kid, so much memories.
Nostalgia to past time ,simple .classic .So beautiful cars
This brings back so many memories. Specially of simpler times when the only thing I knew to do on a computer was play NFS and Captain claw 😂 and there was another game, COD, I guess the first one. It was 2d. No internet. Just these games and MS Paint. ♥️ Good 'ol days

Uve really handled that car perfectly.The most slippery car I've raced is 1975/78 911 Turbo
Oh the memories!!! :D I was smiling through the whole video!
wow last time I played this I was about 11 or 10 :D thanks for the upload .
i love need for speed, & asphalt, racing games ever! its for everyone;-)
Now THIS, is Need For Speed. Back in the good times. (:
This game was the pinnacle of the NFS series...so good, and well ahead of its time when it was released
I never liked the Dylan XD
Parise, you?
dude I have no idea what you saying :|
pierre Pabloz Look at the arrival of participants, Paris goes for Dylan ;)
let me check :)
Shurik006
oh I see, the thing was no matter what the Dylan was second and I was the first , AI was not really good those times
That's what Nakai-san's favorite Porsche, the 911.
Dylan and Paris were always kicking ass! :D and i always wanted that Targa porsche from Paris :D
13 years ago I used up all my saved money to buy this game.. still 13 years later this is my favorite NFS ever.. Car handling/ damage and AI, awesome tracks and a lot of cars.. NFS team hit the peak with this version and been on the down side, ever since..
To była gra z pomysłem,najlepsza część.
Best NFS ever, I played it when I was 15:). In my opinion it has the best menus, soundtracks and Porsche soul. I would pay a big money if they remake it with modern graphics.
I find your comparison an absolutely awesome observation :)
Brings so many memories. My cousin used to play this and everytime I would get into his account he would go crazy and scream loud cause he didn't want his cars to get fucked and has them get repair
5:08 nicely managed
Good driving, it was nice to behold this game again. Baller soundtrack.

But not while they cater to kids and casuals. They'd make a sensationalist travesty of it.
Brings tears to my eyes.
Yes, they should, as I recall, he was playing for windows 7 x64 beta.
I remember it...differently. To me, when I played 10 years ago, these graphics were on par to what today would be GTA V or Project Cars.
Ah I so remember the fun times. Always doing my best to accomplish a spectacular crash as soon as I reach the goal.
"Schwarzwald" really got me curious as I've driven there many times IRL, but even the trees are wrong here, let alone the fairy tale buildings. With it's great roads the area should be rediscovered by racing games some time.
This was a real next-gen game if you compare it with other NFS games before. You have a 3D-cockpit which is lightening if it's in the sun. It has realistic driving physics. It looks really beautiful. The forest background is not worse than GT5 ^^
Yesterday I put NFS Shift, Undercover and Underground 2 (which I used to like very much) but those are disgusting. Nice cars, nice tracks, totally ugly driving physics, even Underground 2.
Thanks for the encouragement :)
my favorite best racing game, NFS, Porsche unleashed, & my favorite Drift car, Porsche Boxter, that's all!!;-)
Wegen diesem Spiel, habe ich mich in die Marke Porsche verliebt.
I love this game^^
Best racing game ever. All stock multiplayer lobbies with no collision. Played for hours. If you got a good group of fair players, then you could turn on collision
Where did you get the locked cars like the Porsche Spyder? I can't find them anywhere.
THE BEST NFS EVER! My old love!
or where i can find the music archive
haha it runs so good too. Doesn't it crash randomly like for me? Best vid I've seen yet.
oh yeah best driving game ever
i remember buying heaps of used cars, repairing them and then selling
earning mad cash
@willleon1984 yes, the game run without problems
Felt the most realistic of all nfs games. The cars weren't that easy to control
I remember that map having a bug. In the village I was going between the houses and you fall down under the ground...
too bad it doesnt work for me tried everything but it crashes on loading screen or when i press race
This is the best racing game I have come across. I wish it would be remastered. same game updated graphics. and available on steam.
The best part in all line NFS.
I didn't know the graphics was this good back then.
How to change camera angel in this?
good control of the car
Oh my god, the memories ...
That's a really epic game ! :D
nice driving brah ^^
Thank you very much
how to get the BMG? sounds awesome
one of the best racing games yes i love it
Do you have a download link foe this game? .I love it ❤❤
thx, I'll look for it on steam. But alas, I'm a huge racing fan, and can't see any game that can satisfy my needs like cmr 2.0 or nfs porsche did back in the day. Anyway thx again
Damn dude... I used to do the same thing, nostalgia...
In 2000, these graphics were pretty boss
Just a wonderful game... It's a pity that nowadays EA don't make smth like that...
my favourite game of all time
does that song in the first race say BURP, EXCUSE ME?
The best game ever, at least among NFS!
