Addendums:
Although I maintain that NFS was largely responsible for popularizing the boost, examples can be seen far, far before.
Also, "you are the cop" also exists in the other version I think, woops.

I'd like to add that in Most Wanted's game files, there's police dialogue that has cops gargling in their own blood after you crush their cars, which is unused to keep the age rating down.
REALLY?
@@ElysiumGD Yes. It starts at 13:02 in a video called "Need for Speed Most Wanted Unused Police Dialogue by Sage Ages (Re-Upload)" .
thats brutal
Holy shit that's metal
wtf that's kinda dark, glad they didn't. Don't wanna feel bad about destroying them cars
I don't think i've ever seen a channel go from solo creator to animation collaboration team in the way that you've all pulled it off and it's a very unique style that's a great addition to an already unique video format. Amazing work Noodle Team™
I agree. Though personally, I prefer the more simplified animation from previous videos. This is a tad overdone for my taste but that's just me. Don't get me wrong, it still is super charming.
Loving the animation, the wiggly lines bring a more organic feel to it, honestly. Still loving the videos :D
@@lucasbarriosp His older videos were always in this style.
(PS: if u need any animators, I know a guy. Hint hint. Hint)
The animation is so smoot
I'm legitimately upset there isn't a part two. This ended just before Need for Speed Carbon, one of my favorite childhood games
I was thinking that! Carbon is so good!
@@spicynutmeg9743 bro i also played carbon as a kid but no way that shit wasnt mid. it was just most wanted at night and the few additions they put in were gimmicks at best. sad too since the canyon racing couldve been way cooler if it wasnt like just the boss battles.
I hope part 2 is coming soon :(
Man i loved most wanted. I never played it myself I was too dumb and girly. But my older brother used to play and essentially my job was to play the passenger seat and relay to him what the next move from the cops were. It was a super fun way to bond and get involved without being given a dummy controller. We'd go on *forever* him on the wheel and me listening in on whatever radio garble was goin on just to announce when and where the next tack strip was gonna be. Deadass felt we were The most badass bonnie and clyde sibling team on the run lol. I miss those afternoons so much.
I used to do exactly this with my little sister 🥰
Same with GTA too lol
You were a co-driver/spotter. That's cool.
That's so cool!
@@izperehoda”ISTEN TO MY INSTRUCTION- *MEDIUM RIIIIIGHT!”*
THAT INTRO WAS SO HYPE THOOOOO
Dude I pause and skipped back SOOO MANY TIMES, I literally couldn’t believe my eyesssssss!!!!!
IT IS! Also what the hell are you doing here csx? I was not expecting you here.
@@InvalidUser18 There are many a channel I visit that would surprise you :)
hey csx, didn't know you were here! :)
8:07 Might be the greatest moment in animation history
I like that he used the interpolation thing again
Every time I see the interpolation I cry tears of comedy. Not joy or sorrow.
He's got a whole team now, I assume someone used an AI to save time
Absolutely
Agreed
I love how he's describing the differences for each of the potential events during a chase while the gameplay is demonstrating it IN ONE CUT
This is legit one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in the last few years…and so insanely well put together! Animation, writing, sound, etc. are all excellent!
loud=funny
The absolute state of that disc at 10:23 made me scream in horror
Would you believe me if I told you that's how I got it from the store, or that depending on which Xbox you put it in it still reads fine
@@noodlefunny Only if you believe me when I say that rubbing toothpaste all over the disc gets the scratches out. I'm serious it does, fixed my burger king game
@@dizzydaisy909 The toothpaste trick is good for shallow scratches honestly, I think deeper stuff its a little less effective with but still very useful.
@@Azalealiketheflower how does it work tho? I've heard of it many many times but i've never questioned how
@@devthegoogleuser6198 my guess was always the paste fit into the small divots and hardened and the substance meshed decently well with cd roms and didnt corrode them or anything funky
Absolutely adored the Most Wanted section of this video, your detail and editing's fantastic!
😂I totally forgot they disable the pause but in a pursuit! They should bring that back and have it Multiplayer 😨☠️
The section of the video was made well because game is so good as well
Everyone just talks about most wanted and shit. Why no one cares about carbon? It's my favorite one( even tho it's short as fuck)
@@capperbuns imo carbon has a much better story, it's just overshadowed by mw
@@capperbuns Ray made a 1 hour video on it (with one of the best intros I've ever seen)
bruh just discovered your channel.. how did i miss that?? I've probably never seen a UA-camr put this much effort into videos the way you do! Absolutely loved everything about it, from the drawings to the humour!
I absolutely ADORE your animation style
My haters throw rocks at me and IT hurts. I hope they don't throw The Rock at me because I like him as an actor. GAGAGAGAGA!!! I am funny!!! I am the funniest UA-camr EVAH! Please agree, dear red

“man I wonder what noodle’s up to, probably just taking a break”
noodle: *makes entire animation team and makes an incredibly technically and artistically impressive review of need for speed*
Also Noodle: "Good Catching up, see you in 8 months"
Man knows what he's about
tru
@@AirtailAcceleration i simply made the perfect comment.
Most Wanted was peak gaming in my youth, the racing, the city and the best OST of any racing game I've ever played ❤
I love how much effort you put into animating this. I'm blown away. History is actually fun to learn, sometimes!
Fun fact: EA had an exclusivity contract with Porsche that lasted 16 YEARS. This forced the other racing franchises to use relatively unknown brands/tuning shops that were famous for modifying Porsches, like RUF and Gemballa, to fill the Porsche gap without getting in trouble.
Yup in Gran Turismo 3 it was RUF
them sneaky bastards oy vey
I guess this ironically created more competition for Porsche
@@milktar2182 yeah. Ruf became a really big deal for the mainstream because of that.
Gemballa on MC3
now i just wanna know if you actually put the ad break on a VHS tape because the video and audio distortion was perfect
It really was
This video was scary because I bought NFS on my switch less than a week ago
na he didn’t, it’s very much possible to do however so i’m sure they’ll do it at some point
Yakkosemen
Okay can someone tell me what that I can be anywhere is a reference too
You really did put a lot of effort into the animation on this. I even appreciate the atmosphere that you created or since I previously watched the video wherein you specifically drove my attention to how you can affect the atmosphere for like a solid 20
8:03 I didn't see this coming, like instantly dying from laughing 🤣 more of these if there's a 2nd part of the NFS history video I hope😌
It's an absolute gift to see this much passion in one video
yet the view count is so low sad to see
I recently revealed the genders of my two girlfriends. It got a lot of hate and now has 30 times more dislikes than likes. I am really sad that people can be so mean. Sorry for using your comment to talk about my problems, dear bro
@@AxxLAfriku tf kinda tiktok blue haired girl 21st society bullshit is this
Car go fast 💨
@@redpz it's just AxxL, he's been trolling in yt comments for ages now
That intro alone bought my entire attention span.
"Am I really going to watch an entire 27 minute video about Need for Speed? I played it a little when I was younger but--"
*Car Crash*
"Well there goes 27 minutes. I'm in for the long haul now."
Same here mate.
About 5 seconds in I had liked and favorited so I can watch again later.
I didnt even notice it was 27 minutes long! omg I didnt realise how right you are!
@@jaxondabac8808 I swear the one he did on animation interpolation was longer than I remember it, but then I looked back and it was actually 14 minutes.
"Long haul" -- like a car?
I love the way you animate speech. It's hypnotic. Simple shapes but such deliberate exaggerations. Wonderful.
8:03 This is why I keep coming back.
This is one of those videos that are just perfect, i do not think anyone can top the quality. Every now and then i return to watch this one more time.
Omg, I'm astonished by the quality of this video. Part #2 please 🙏🙏🙏
22:19
If the chase goes on long enough, some of the cops will literally say "OK I've had enough, I'm running this guy off the road."
It's great.
thats pretty much like real life
PIT maneuvers are the shit
And their excitement when you crash or get trapped too
Noodle seems like the kind of guy who has a lot of good memories playing Need for Speed: Underground 2 and Burnout 3 when he was younger.
🤚
👌
burnout 3 was my jam
Nfsu2 was the best
blur
I Haven't subbed to anyone in years, but the quality of that intro, and just that so far, has me completely hooked in under 45 seconds, that animation was super well done and funny as hell.
NFS MW legit had me hooked for hours and hours. The cop chases were a thrill for sure
I always love it when Noodle wrecks his house, and instead of it being fixed by the next scene thanks to "cartoon-magic", the house just stays demolished for the rest of the video.
The hole doesn’t just stay for the video, it’s there f o r e v e r
It's gradually been acquiring more and more damage overtime. XD
had to go back and watch those videos again.
This room is going to turn into a pile of like six bricks four videos in the future
Makes you wonder what he is doing with his channel's revenue if he refuses to even start repairing his house. I can see him eventually squatting someone else's house in a video or two.
8:09 The “Kubrick Stare" is one of Stanley Kubrick's most recognizable directorial techniques, a method of shot composition where a character stares at the camera with a forward tilt, to convey to the audience that the character in question is at the peak of their derangement.
What is deranged about this man? This is a muted reaction to need for speed music compared to the average reaction.
How do I keep seeing this lol
Dude that one shot had me wheezing for like 5 minutes it’s so goofy and stupid and amazing I love it
I think it’s funny that he continues to purposely interpolate his work as a funny gag.
If that wasn’t interpolated then whoops.
If I see one more comment talking about this perspective shot in any video with a single frame of it again, i’m going to be perfectly fine with it but slightly annoyed.
noodle please make a part 2. it's been a year and we all love it.
I loved that transition after the ad insert. Clapping back into a modern clear sound and slight change in the animation was really cool.
it has been 8 months and this video has done really well. you are legally obligated to give us a part two
I co-sign this statement.
I third this motion
Ford
I endorse this message.
I agree with the above.
The stress to not lose your damn car to those cops were real😭 the love I have for this game is unparalled. And yes, they do get angrier, to the point where they become more unhinged then I am
Reset button go burrr. Lol
@@yamaha94O what that do
@@LL-rc2ol If you reset it before the game saves, you don't lose your car.
they did good
@@yamaha94O sadly in newer games (NFS Heat specifically) you aren't allowed to restart in a cop chase
I don’t think I have ever seen an AD with this much fascination 😭
23:24 "do you have the slightest idea how little that narrows it down?"
this man could make a video about any topic and I'll watch
hello big meme guy
Like, for example, about the differences between Presta valves and Schrader valves :D
Just like NakeyJakey xD
I love how the cops dialogue in Most Wanted, it's so well made. The getting more and more intense vocally over time, the one other game I know actually does that, is Pay Day, the longer the heist has been going and the more they are in active combat, the angrier and more pannicked the player characters voiceline become, like, reloading, if it's stealth and all the player's going to quitely say something like "changing map" in a calm, focused tone, if the civilians are starting to disobey and roam around they'll sound a bit more frustrated, if the cops start ariving, when detected they'll start talking normally, saying things like "I'm dry, gotta reload" in a clear tone, as the fight keeps going the player will shout more, like if they're losing their manners, until they start screaming and swearing "SHIT'S FUCKING EMPTY GOTTA RELOAD!" until they just go nut and start complaining about shit, it's a pretty neat feature.
Well, hell. Now I gotta play Payday
Spec Ops: The Line did some similar stuff as the story progressed. As combat got more hectic and the characters got more stressed, their dialog would go from the standard and professional "Cover me, changing mags!" to a sentence using what I'm sure was every swear word the script writer could think of at the time.
Being chased by the High Speed Task Force in Need for Speed Heat at night has the same thing as your heat increases - the cops openly comment on you "returning for more" and insist that this time they are going to bust you unlike the last chase.
They also loudly blame their car for not being fast enough or their fellow task force members for being too slow to back them up should you escape, which is great.
Kind of reminds me of how GTA does it. And while it's hilarious how they do it, the seriousness of Most Wanted's police radio makes for a great tone shift and strong tension.
@@andrewduong2740 the best lines are in san andreas lol the cops on the choppers "hey! i can see my house from here!"
Where part 2
Where part 2😢
I'd love to see a part 2 to this. NFS and Burnout were some of my favorites growing up.
same, it hurts that they are not making games that are as good as the old ones.
burnout was great heh. good times
@@Lucid_Kitty still to this day I enjoy burnout paradise and revenge
@@Lucid_Kitty Burnout 3, killer soundtrack
I would sell half of my organs to get another Burnout game
WHY have I never seen this particular video, the editing is HILARIOUS! Awesome work from everyone involved!
Now I realize why Noodle hasn't released a video like this for a while. He's busy rebuilding his house
I've literally just watched the intro on repeat for probably 2 hours. It's just so good
Eurobeat sells (also great animation)
Lol yeah
Sometimes you just need to forget about responsibilities and watch a history on Need for Speed.
Because Need For Speed is better than taking speed
Literally delayed work I had to do to watch this so you're absolutely right
Yeah man this is like my seventh time watching it
@@SamTheTaco same
NFS3 was so much of my childhood, and the 2 Undergrounds were such a product of the time. The music is singed into my brain
i literally can’t stop watching this video over and over again. it’s just so amazing and i love how it plays into me. I think i have adhd and autism and this is like the therapist staring at me going “you didn’t know this?”
I can’t believe that a video this well-written and researched and with animation this freaking good is given to us for free. I’m not a need for speed fan but damn i was completely invested. God bless you, Noodle.
I mean c'mon for FUCK! "the anicipation is second to one..." A mic drop!
6:28 this is actually something called "Pink Slip Racing", where the bets are the cars being driven. The loser hands the keys over to the winner. It's not stealing; It's gambling. This was more common around the early 2000s.
Gambling? In an EA game? That NEVER happens!
@@mousermind that sounds like some dystopian alternate timeline. Im So GlAd weRe nOT in That time liNe
Sleepers where at there peak in this era
this is also a mechanic in most wanted where if you win a race against one of the main rivals in the campaign, you get a chance to with their car. it's exclusive to single player though
@@redpanda4102 the game Juiced was the first to make it legit tho (in racing games) cuz if you lost the race you’d really lose your car lol I broke a LOT of controllers because of that game
Would have loved to see Carbon included in this but man, beautiful vid man, describing every nfs here to the T, maybe hoping to see more of these kind of vids from ya
You are probably one of the best content creators I've ever seen your work is so clean. please keep it up.
I love the Y2k era of gaming. Every game tried to do something new, and had their own unique style to make them stand out from the crowd. No one knew the word "cringe" and no would would care if they did, it was a time where giving a hedgehog a gun was the height of coolness and it was _glorious._
Nah people made fun of Shadow the Hedgehog then
@@thefreelancequeen 2005. It was 2005.
That was the time of “dark looking character cool 😎” and I wish I was alive at that time
@@thefreelancequeen Shadow might be a bad game and all but it was 2005 and it does have some charm (albeit the awful story and acting lol)
@@SantiagoMonroy5 I can agree that the story is not too hot, but the real-time fandub and other playthroughs I've seen where the players just go ham with the whole premise makes it so I can't have a bad time with the game any more.
Can we just appreciate the continuity in noodle's videos when it comes to his house? Like, first we were all so impressed with the fact he kept the carpet damaged and then a whole fucking wall is destroyed, and now pretty much the entire thing is completely DECIMATED because of all the crazy shit that goes on in the videos, and I was watching and thinking "wow haha he should make reconstructing the house part of the videos too" and later that's *exacly* the excuse he gives to end it?
Yep, lots of detail to continuity. Like how at 8:25 he crashes through a wall, then at 9:00 the wall is back, then at 9:18 it's destroyed again, and then the wall comes back again at 9:36, sticks around until 11:46, before mysteriously being mysteriously destroyed again one second later at 11:47. It then comes back at 12:22, and gets redestroyed at 12:47.
@@imveryangryitsnotbutter oh wow i did not notice any of that lmao i was too focused on how the style of the little guy changed constantly, and honestly i love it,, it kept me interested the whole time and even got me to completely ignore the lack of consistency in the walls
I keep coming back to this video and it continues to amaze me how much need for speed influenced later car games
Thanks for The high quality videos and awesome animation dude. Keep keeping it real.
Dude, hats off to the animators this time around. The lipsyncing throughout the video was spot on. Any chance there's a list of who animated which parts?
Not the times, but they are sourced in the description!
Uh go look into noodle’s Twitter where he credits several people for the production of this video
The part with him saying you don’t read I can tell it’s mayde I love his animation look it up it’s crazy good
Used to play A LOT of most wanted as a kid, loved that game. Also, the production quality for this video is just 👌 10/10
I would recommend NFS Heat. The career mode is pretty whatever, but the racing, customization and the cop chases are top tier.
how was it, grinding up the blacklist lmao
yo, my first need for speed was need for speed 3 hot pursuit in a sony vaio laptop windows xp
Allo stanley
Noodle, ive been feeling really down and your video make me laugh, thank you so much for this awesome peace of art that you made.
Bro I bow before your passion in making these videos. Seriously Hats off to you man!!
This is genuinly one of the best youtube videos made in 2022 hands down. Everything is amazing, the animation, comedy, topic, explanations, and music. It's clear a ton of hard work was put into it and I hope every person that was involved in the making of it realises how great of a job they did. I normally don't rewatch youtube videos especially when they are this long but I've already rewatched this video 3 times.
you can't say best of 2022 already dude, we're not even in march!
@@gizmoduuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu2773 Best so far atleast !
Maybe a little early in the year to be saying that :)

i love this video
It’s interpolated

Activator is when shit gets real
What song is it?
@@walidhammadou4605 it makes it even more absurd and adds to the funny yeah
This was really well done and so accurate in its analysis. I would very much welcome part 2.
Dude, your videos have easily some of the best production quality on UA-cam. I fantasize about having mine as well put together as yours. Absolutely epic.
Never knew that chase music on NFS MW was adaptive to the situation in the chase. But I always had the feeling that it fits too perfectly every time. I was too dumb or too involved in the chase.
Isn't entierely true, it's mostly relative to the position of the cops being closer to you or not. ( And a few other parameters like the player's speed and such ).
He wasn't lying about the game having 4 themes in total though, but the 360 version sometimes shifts themes from time to time.
@@ScarLeRenard That's still cool though, because the game's...let's just call it "The Director" AI, is recognizing what's happening in the game, _in real time,_ and adjusting the score accordingly. _In 20-fucking-05._
I don't think that properly happened again until Mick Gordon did it with Doom (2016). No, I do not count games that change from ambient overtures to combat music, because the tracks aren't adaptive - they're static.
@@NaruSanavai " In 2005 " isn't that much of a big deal, it's not because the industry standards have gone to shit that it's a billion dollar feature.
Even the second Need For Speed had dynamic music, i mean it was simpler, but still.
@@NaruSanavai NFS 3: HP had something close to MW. The music changed from parts of the tracks and there was a different music for cop chases, but the didn't change based on intensity.
And when you're in cooldown, the music change for something calm but, also, thriller
Holy fuck, that animation of the car coming down through the roof was beyond beautiful! Animation in general and coherency of the script was amazing!
UA-cam homepage recommendations strike gold sometimes, huh?
I think it was interpolated
@@youtubeaccountlol4942 Scrubbing through reveals it's still only 30fps. my guess it that it's rotoscoped, but I don't want to say that with confidence just in case I'm wrong
It looks like a 3d render
I wasn’t expecting this when I randomly found this video. I love it so much. Please make part 2
A hallmark of a good video is knowing when to end. Yours ended on the best NFS ever. Kudos!!
My favorite part of this whole thing is the fact that the wall magically repairs and breaks itself throughout it. A true inspiration to pissing off everyone who watches his content. Much respc 12/10 would vroom again.
he shot some of the dialogue before the car accident and some of it afterwards :)
I noticed this as well and wanted to check the comments to see if anyone else said anything
A minor mistake that happens due to outsourcing work to multiple animators. It's understandable
"Pushing 200 can genuinely, be frightning."
And that's where speedrunners and 90's kids come in with the will to go 250
from 300 and beyond!
I went to 300
NOT FAST ENOUGH
I MUST GO
EVEN FURTHER *BEYOND*
The fastest I went in the game was like almost 400 but it was just so fucking stupid that my PS2 literally stopped the game for a moment just to load the textures lol
@@rafaelconstanzovicens9094 in a need for speed game? You sure about that? Cos out of any racing game (not just need4spd) the highest speed attainable was in Star Wars Pod Racer from 1999. 500 km/h was doable at the beginning of this game, while the end (with best parts and best podracers) you could hit 1000 km/h. Now that's speed. It remains my favorite racing game ever made. Even though race 4-2 (The Abyss) is complete bullshit.
@@alewis514 in any f zero after the first you go at an AVERAGE of 1000 kmh, but usually it's more like 1500-2000 if you know how to play
So no, pod racer DOESNT have the highest racing game speed
I have never played this game, nor did I grow up with even the console(s) that it was on. But hearing someone who is obviously passionate about something that they like was what made this video very enjoyable to watch!
My first time playing this was from the magazine insert in Road&Track. It came as a CD in the actual magazine, which was the style at the time.
"Boost. That thing every arcade racer had in the mid-2000s. Need for Speed popularized it." Way to make me feel old remembering the rush of hitting the Nitro button on Super Off-Road arcade in the early 90s. :)
Can't think of anything but Super Off Road whenever I hear nitro in relation to cars, that and Pro Am were my racing childhood.
I'm playing Horizon Chase Turbo (got it for free last year on epic store). It is completely inspired by 80s/90s games. Nitro is there. =)
@@JolgeableHorizon's biggest stylistic influence was Top Gear for the snes which also had nitro
Animation is still improving? Impossible the quality couldn’t possibly go any higher!!!
Love your video’s man keep it up
Cardboard was the peak
@@flyn9851 facts
“The city is gamers, and a f****** menace.” That is the best way to describe this game
NF3 also had a soundtrack that adapted to the gameplay, as well as cops plotting road blocks on the radio, and they got angrier and angrier as time passed, and accents that changed depending on the track. When NFS4 introduced tracks in different countries, they also changed the cops' language depending on where the track is, as well as the speedometer (km/h or mph).
Noodle, you're really good at grabbing a viewers attention. Even when it starts to die down a bit you hit us with another goddamn car crash that reels us back in and I love it.
10/10 creator
i love this guy's sense of humour and i never get bored watching his videos he manages to keep me interested
It's always been a fun thing to watch a vehicular carnage rolls out in motions
4:55 i'm not gonna overlook how you put that filter on your animation. That really gave me a 2001 Cartoon Network nostalgia rush of some kind.
Lol A Nice touch!
I love how much you spent on Most Wanted. That game was incredible.
I consistently come back to this video like every 2 months because it is such a vibe
8:03 the animation and the editing is getting so good on this channel, definitely worth the long wait for a new video
That part is one of the best things I have ever seen on this video sharing platform
@@sk8erbyern i love the face zoom in
It’s so beautiful.
Great vido noodler
I played underground and then got into burnout for the funny crashy
Hi ross.

I didn't know words "need" and "speed" could bring so much joy to a man 😂
9:03 The song from this bit is 'Theme from Harry's game' by Clannad for those who were suddenly put into a craving for a Gaelic dirge like I was.
Thanks!
Thanks
what is happening
i honestly didnt get the bit really. what the fuck is it supposed to reference?
Thank you!
Man please please PLEASE do a part 2 I grew up on NFS and would love to hear about the turf wars in carbon and the whole "overarching story" of that Ryan Cooper dood. Love the video!
Forreal I'm coming back to this video every couple of months because it's so damn well made. Normally with videos of this quality the commentary is more serious but this is both high quality and comedic
I was really disappointed when he didn't mention NFS the run, imo the best NFS and its highly slept on n' overshadowed by most wanted
@@papaspoon1550 I played through it, decent story but eh gameplay was lacking imo
Dude yes Carbon was amazing I loved the turf war aspect as well as the gameplay shift to canyon duels and I loved all the in depth customization it had! I grew up on the PS2 version of Hot persuit 2 then carbon and the chases we're just as bat shit insane. It was really fun! Would love to see a video covering that.
100%, especially with the release of unbound!!
I'm hopelessly in love with the intro animation
I've never laughed so much during a game retrospective, this channel is one of a kind
8:10 I wonder how many people are going to say "dam that's some good animation"
Slap stick made that animation hit different too!
Yeah fr, it's gonna be like in his video on that Hackers movie with the ai shit during the dancing scene lmao
that whole scene is soo good
That entire edit is something that's seemingly so unnecessary and easy to cut out but makes the whole video 1000X cooler
Noodle interpolating random stuff in his videos has by far become my favourite running gag.
I was a bit sad to see Carbon missing from the chapter list, but after hearing you talk about Most Wanted I realized Carbon is basically a nighttime Most Wanted.
true.
Carbon was my introduction to the series and that game slaps ass so hard
Sad that Carbon legacy got boil down to "nighttime Most Wanted" when is improve on so much thing that Most Wanted fail at
Calling it a nighttime most wanted isn’t accurate imo. Carbon more so focused on the story side of things and slapped in the cop system as a last minute thing since cops barely have any impact on the game
Yeah but the first underground and carbon are forever my 2 favorites
Coming back to that intro scene after getting my first car, felt like something more than euphoric
I get the style kinda changes a lot, but honesty, I like that. Each animator gets their own little twang to it and they feel like they deliver jokes in their own way.
I like that :D
18:37
The Cops in Most Wanted are the best thing in the game! The increasing difficulty, the strategic patterns, and the chase music really makes MW best in the NFS series.
At the same time it destroyes the open world feeling.
In U2 you would spend hours exploring or reaching new speed records on the ring highway.
In MW you can't enjoy 30 seconds of the world ... just use map and warp to next event.
with no vehicle damage??
And don't forget the glitches...finding the glitches on this game were hilarious. I mean doing kick-flips with Fiat Punto as you ride over a small piece of pavement is insane!
I like Carbon a little bit more, but that might have to do with the fact it was the first true game I ever got as a present.
Plus it's kinda basically MW 2005 but with more customization, a cooler city and touge/drifting over drag racing, which is objectively better.
Don t forget helicopter roadblock
Yeah man when he started saying Hot Pursuit 2 was “okay” I was like, “WTF is he talking about?” I was spoiled having a PS2 as a kid. I had no idea how good I had it. 🤣
Mann I played it on a gamecube
Absolutely, I loved that game so much, it was my first game ever to 100%!
fr, anyone who didn't have a PS2 didn't get the real HP2 experience
@@logiarhythm6285 I'm jello, I gave up on getting 100%
@@bobblueton hehe, I even remember my last challenge: win a race with 8 laps without hitting any wall to unlock the Mercedes CLR ;) funny thing you could select on your own to race only a single opponent, but quite a challenge for a 12-year-old! After that I really began to appreciate endurance races :D
I'm an old man who only played racing games in his younger years, and I have fond memories of Hot Pursuit and Higg Stakes. Those games were mind-blowing for widdle kid me.
Nowadays, the only racing game I play is FlatOut 2 on LAN parties, and there it's not reeeeeaally about good driving, but instead about who can smash the others into bits first.
I always loved that for most wanted it starts off as just one cop and after awhile the whole town is after you which creates a lot of funny moments
The fucking gesture animations are amazing, holy shit. They're so expressive with every little movement and crazy face. And I love you can see the tiny difference in styles with each animator doing different shots
This guy seriously has to make a part 2, if he still has any of his house left
part 2? Not needed. All the NFS games are there already. Everything after the Most Wanted is a crap.
@@EvzenEmanuel what about carbon? It ain't that bad tho. Also, the run for me is the last good/decent nfs game made by blackbox
I haven’t seen this channel in years the last time I saw your channel was “just buy a new one” and you honestly have gotten so far that it honestly makes me inspired to get better at drawing
ive never had an ad make me sub til now, great work
Little funny story here, My dad worked on Underground 2 and I told him about this video cause he was pretty proud of what that game turned out to be. When he learned that there was a part in this related to underground 2 he asked if i could show it to him and I gladly went to the segment to show him. He then verbally said "I wonder what this guy is gonna say about it" and when I hit play I just so happened to scroll riiiiight at 13:58 It was a good reaction.
that's so cool! which part did he work on?

Holy shit the “my favorite UA-camr” moment floored me.
I wonder who it was but also that’s just so heartbreaking and infuriating and just god awful.
Incredible video. Incredibly real moment.
Who was he talking about? Was it from the UA-cam recommendations video?
who is it?
im also curious. i have no idea what noodle was alluding to.
Maybe it was just a joke?
It was a joke he wasn't talking about any youtuber
