I miss the days of growing up and watching video games, like NFS, evolve. I miss chasing that feeling. New games don't do it anymore. They're built different. I miss the old days and that's what this song reminds me of. I'm glad I grew up when I did and feel sad that kids these days have missed what in my mind was the golden age for gaming.
It was indeed the golden age of gaming. I don't think its the quality that has dropped, its the target audience that has changed, this is the issue in my opinion. Everything is handed over at the ready, and target markets create situations of "what is popular as a mechanic or monetizing strategy and will make the most cash and/or have the largest audiences" as a result being the leading mentality behind development these days. Used to be a niche target audience. Back in the day smaller demands made it possible for more teams to head out with making games for fun or a challenge for people to have fun and be challenged because they too would want to play that same game and have fun and be challenged. Today budgets alone do not make this possible. Now games have evolved so much they have to be successful first to make back the budget they spent, and they need to follow trends to do this, or die in the waters as some indie game that something like 1000 people only happened to come across and enjoy. I think the success of gaming was its own undoing and brought in the audiences and "fast food" gaming we see today for the most part. Some exceptions here and there, but yeah, its a sad sideffect of the progress of success and the new demand in place :( Maybe its just me, but I blame the gaming audience itself today. I see straight up day in day out the things they focus on and are interested in. No large developer that is throwing millions of dollars on a product ignores this unfortunately.
im right with u, i am 33 and man the music , the cars , the cops the feeling of being completely submerged into the game! Time stopped when playing video games back then. When NFS started going the fast and furious route back in early 2000’s i started to lose interest. The exotic cars with this style of EDM was amazing and will never ever be forgotten! The music enhanced the racing experience. What a great feeling.
Yes, this feelings were amazing - Teenager feelings🎉. As an adult, its harder to find that kind of feelings again - i think it depends more of our age neither of the modern Games.
The top reasons these times were so perfect: It was finished, nothing was added. Negative critics didn't exist. No one told you what to think about it, you just loved it. And we all appreciated playing video games next to one another.
availability is also an aspect. how many games did we own back then? we appreciated the very few we had. and now we scroll through our steam library and don't know what to play.
Nothing wrong with adding things to a game. Back in the day expansions made us go nuts. "You are telling me that this game I love I can buy this extra stuff and enjoy more of it?" The problem is the audience itself. Availability indeed, and fast food gratification. What was a niche target audience that played games to escape has now become this brawling mass with demands that shape the games we see. And when you keep reaching higher and higher and the budget demands keep rising, more and more people that do it for the love of it cannot make it into the scene and large studios keep getting larger. Budgets keep rising. And what the mass wants keeps becoming more important as losing money on such large budgets can be very dangerous. In some cases for smaller studios, there is also nothing wrong with un-finished work. They are usually the developers trying to make a difference and make something they love with small budgets and development costs make it hard without gaining interest to raise a proper budget to work on your title. The problem is some large developers have also piggy backed this strategy to again, make more money. They have become corporate and not gamers and geeks making games. Aside from the teams working on those games. Its a circle that feeds into itself, unfortunately. And I think the success of gaming is what started it, to bring in such large audiences which I blame much more for the state of games than the developers themselves. They are just responding to the demand. And I have been seeing the direction things have been going for years now. Franchise after franchise, mass audiences hoarding in and giving backward feedback or allowing certain things to happen in their games over and over again. And then one day you wake up and see a new generation of younger gamers addicted to lootboxes. Its no wonder large money hungry studios cater to those needs, its easy sure cash. And they are just responding to the demand and direction the audience wants. When a game that has amazing content is bashed because it has little end game...... you know, the way all games were back in the day. One should not wonder why the next games will focus on a grindy end game with zero quality content leading up to it. People are just going to rush over it anyway. And those of us that seek quality in games are left wanting more. We play a great game and want to share our joy over it, and every haphazard wanker jumps on to complain about something so irrelevant that was never intended or never belonged in the game and complain the game is "lacking X".... At which point, I say these audiences are getting exactly what they deserve. They complain over quality of games. Then do not support smaller games with quality that are built with passion. They are getting exactly what they asked for.
It was my beloved song always. Imagine my joy when one day my son was playing NFS 2015 on PS4 and was in the garage choosing cars, and suddenly I heard this music. It gave me the chills....................... Since then, I have had it as my main ringtone. And also as a musician, I was influenced by that generation of games. The music was great and this is a classic.
Nfs 2015 worked as a series reboot (at least is what they intended) and putting some old school nfs ST was on point! From there nfs music went downhills. Nfs unbound and heat must have the worst OST ever on a nfs game. They have lost it
BannedIP guess what contemporary game he composed the soundtrack for... Fortnite. I shit you not. Rom di Prisco was hired for composing the soundtrack for the most overrated mediocre game of modern times...
I will forever live with this music as part of my life. I was 12 years old when I played NFS 3 Hot Pursuit the first time and I am 34 now. To this day this music gives me goosebumps and nostalgia like none other. Rom Di Prisco is a god of trance/DnB and this track goes to show that after 20+ years there is no other sound like this!
Same boat aas you. I'm 34 and this was the FIRST NFS I've ever played. I can't believe that NFS Heat is getting nominated to an award on its "soundtrack"...but what about these tracks of the golden era of NFS? Where is the recognition to Saki Kaskas or Rom di Prisco??? It's a shame...a real shame...
This track just screams "late '90s /very early 2000s". Many electronic tracks from other games (e.g. FIFAs, Unreal Tournament '99) had similar vibes in that era.
I played it when I was 6 years old. Now, 10 years later, I built a retro gaming machine, based on our family computer and play it again with racing wheel like the old days! My father also always want's to play when I am playing it, it's just quality time! :') hope you can do it too.
@@real_Fabiot that makes me happy for you. :) my father turns 60 next year, he is a car mechanic and uses computers since the 80s. I am sure and hope he will teach me many things. Spending time with family is important. :)
I likem them both. I feel like NFS should make a seperate side project returning to its roots. Like a mix of modern game development with enough nostalgia thrown in from the first 4 games for original players and new comers.
@@itzybp1985 We won't get that bcs all the attention is pointed to make a shit ton of street racing, and even then nowadays people aren't as interested in supercars and GT's as in the 90's, they just want normal cars and JDM because "nostalgia"
This is where my love story for cars and games began. Need For Speed! Whenever I listen to this song it feels like I've travelled back in time when I was 3 years old and this was one of the very first games I ever bought and played while staying on the menu only to listen to this song. On a side note, as much as people hate EA for what it is today, I think the same people forget that EA literally is our childhood as it gave us the best and the most iconic games to play. Us 90s kids are truly blessed to have been born in the time that we did and makes me feel kinda bad for the new generation kids who will never get to have a childhood as fun as ours.
+BannedIP Yes they did. Just go to the official nfs site and find "under the hood 3" update and there you can see all the songs they added. You can hear it in the garage.
Abel reis carvalho They were added to the newest Need for speed. It doesn't have its own name like "most wanted" or "carbon" its just called "Need for speed".
Oh my God....I want to cry! It a definite heartbreaker! What memories you brought back in my mind!... is there a sweater thing than memories to human?....oh..... NFS 4 ever.... still a daydreamer, yes, that I am!
I used to play this game after school for hours in my first computer and i remember thinking "when i grow big I'm gonna drive my car with this songs everywhere", I'm 38 now and guess what i listen while driving? :D
OMG!! I knew this sounded familiar when I heard it yesterday. Back at work now, started it back up, then just realized this was from NFS. Which was it??? NFS3??? God, i use to play the hell out of this on PC back in the day! :O Getting in tune with my childhood just hearing this!
KowalDW Don't want to be pedantic, but both Dubstep and Trance originated in Europe. UK and Germany respectively. But I agree with the feeling that Trance had much more feeling than Dubstep.
There is so much soul in these games, in all these soundtracks…I am so happy I was born in the 90s (92) and had the chance to grow up with all these. I miss the time, I miss the people I lost. No money of this world can buy these menories…
Gänsehaut!...immer wenn ich diese NFS3 Musik höre, oder die aus Gran Turismo 1, bin ich wieder 17 Jahre alt.....lang ist's her...kann mir mal einer sagen warum mal eben so über 20 Jahre weg gerannt sind?...nur wahnsinn, ..und zack, schon ist man 41.
More often nowadays in this global chaos i find balance in me through music, i hope light shines through and blasts all darkness and one day they can coexist in harmony
Escuchar este soundtrack de NFS III me genera tanta nostalgia; sin dudarlo diría que Rom Di Prisco fue mi primer influencia para escuchar música electrónica; gracias a él conocí este tipo de música, jugar y escuchar estas rolas era de lo mejor. Nunca habré de olvidar esto, nunca dejara de atraerme esta música; que gratos recuerdos, pareciera que esta rola esta hecha para eso, para ser nostalgia pura, para recordar... ¡¡ Gracias Rom Di Prisco !!.
Road Rash and NFS HP3 were two of my first arcade racing pc games as a kid. The jukebox of both these games hold a special place in my heart. Seems like ages ago when you think of it yet when you listen to the tracks, the memories (not exactly, but a crude essence of the aura of the time) are somehow freshened up.
Please EA, hire Di Prisco back to making NFS soundtracks! Rom Di Prisco is a BIG influence behind NFS series... ...without him, PS1 era NFS games wouldn't be so legendary. Of course, those games were awesome by itself but Rom's music made those games classics with big C!
Brushstroke unless the movie has this type of atmosphere which I don't think so it will. It is very weird a race game has this type of soul with nfs II, nfs Iv, and nfs Porsche on the other hand.
@MightyX1337 - I played this game when it first came out in 1998, I was 8 years old and I used to play 2 players aswel and I still play this game even today and I am 20 now. I wouldn't mind playing 2 players with you, the only problem is it doesn't have online play.
This game was the definition of my childhood and this soundtrack summed up all the fantastic memories I had with this game. Ah... those were the days man, those were the days *tear runs down cheek* :'(
The good old games are being forgotten. Now everything is about online multiplaying, nobody calls a friend to play games anymore, now u just sign in MSN and send a message "sign in at X game" then you put a headset on and chat... damn NFS High Stakes brings me gr8 memories
@ardaeksi Hi, I was actually on the Production Team for this version of NFS and based the Hometown track on where I grew up on Vancouver Island, in BC, Canada.
my brother and I loved this game back in the 90's. he showed me this game when i was 4 and he was only 8. and I kept running into walls. As time went by, we got really good and played Hot Pursuit mode together.
remember the 90's guys. the 90's were a good time. but other times like the 80's n 70's and now overshadow the 90's genius. the 90's were a KEY turning point in music. a lot of new genres were made. and classics like this were shoveled out in arcade games that barely anyone played. only the lucky few survived... need for speed gran turismo and the like. i wont forget. im 24 years old and i remember those days.
I'm glad that you and few others here also share those thoughts bro. It's something amazing that only someone else who experienced at that time would get you. It would be fun to grab drinks with some ppl on here and reminisce :D
welcome to real video gaming where u can escape into a screen with beautiful original ambiance and great music!!!! This is my childhood im falling into that same trance of a feeling i did when i was 10 i am now 33!! Thank you NFS!!
@Mick's Budget Rigs you are sadly right, i loved Gran Turismo 6, then they disbandoned it and turned the servers off, now we dont have a proper gran turismo to play in multiplayer. Sports is not a bad game, its just not a gran turismo game.
Legendary track, that i have lost for so many years. It's so great to have it back. What a beautiful piece of art.. Brings back a lot of memories. Thank you SweetyHeaven!!
@extracredit100 - nice description!! There was something about the countach I really liked. Maybe the rough handling, the raw feel, not sure what it was, but I really liked it
OMG, this song call me to back in 2000's, in time, where i've played unreal tournament 2000 and need for speed series games with their awesome ingame electro music... thats simply nostlagic =\
Incredible good old days ! This was one of the finest NFS Tracks ever, perfectly in the main menu when the speaker the course explained and this track ran in the background, great ROM for this outstanding work :)
Not even HD and online playing can create the same feeling as old games did... I feel nostalgia when I hear songs from the Gran Turismo and Need for Speed games from the PS1.
WOW, the nostalgic feeling that this song (and others of the early NFS Series) evokes in me is powerful. It reminds me of my childhood days of playing NFS 2, for hours on end with no other concern in life. Listening to this is truly musical therapy.
@Fulcrum14 i know what u feel and mean about this song i have it on my mp3 player i listen to it when i have deep thoughts and i love the changing of melody and tone .... at 2:54 - 2:27 was the start to working to a transition 2:27 -2:52 was the build up to the transition 2:52 was the transformation then 2:52 - 3:20 was the saying of " THE........ TRANSFORMATION....... IS......... FINALLY........ DONE"....... that how i perceive this song..... i love it
This was the first racing game I ever played. Then it was NFS4, then HP2. Fell in love with videogames from them and learned a tiny bit about modding. I remember my dad helping me download cars for NFS3 and 4, then in HP2 I figured out how to play around with police settings... oh the sheer number of police cars my poor PC had to endure xD

Sad that masterpieces like this are not on Spotify.
The closest thing I found is "Gaia" by Rom Di Prisco himself!
I guess EA has the rights on this song, probably that‘s why R.D. didn‘t publish it on Spotify. Just a thought.
God, my first NfS game... and the best music of the game
OMG!! I knew this sounded familiar when I heard it yesterday. Back at work now, started it back up, then just realized this was from NFS. Which was it??? NFS3??? God, i use to play the hell out of this on PC back in the day! :O Getting in tune with my childhood just hearing this!

I can relate so well
Back when electronic music was still good... ...today it's all about some crappy dubstep. Trance FTW!
maybe in murica, trance set the standards in Europe, not some shitty woobadoobadooob crap. Greetz,
KowalDW Amen. I need to immigrate back to my homeland.
Shit here is no fun.
i am so with you on that! this was my favorite track in the game too
Right ! :)
KowalDW Don't want to be pedantic, but both Dubstep and Trance originated in Europe. UK and Germany respectively. But I agree with the feeling that Trance had much more feeling than Dubstep.
"Spoilt" was the top name in the game.
Rom's magic...
There is so much soul in these games, in all these soundtracks…I am so happy I was born in the 90s (92) and had the chance to grow up with all these. I miss the time, I miss the people I lost. No money of this world can buy these menories…
Congratulations for having an awesome start, one of the best years for humans in history.

Perfect! By far it's still Rom's best track he's ever made! Truly hooking melodies and awesome jungle beat!
Still one of the greatest pieces of sound out there... goosebumps everytime
On this track I was looking at photos of cars in (Need For Speed III) in 98 'as 9 years old. Memories and chills
NOLSTÁLGIA PURA!
It would be pretty cool if he did the soundtrack to the upcoming film.
Brushstroke unless the movie has this type of atmosphere which I don't think so it will. It is very weird a race game has this type of soul with nfs II, nfs Iv, and nfs Porsche on the other hand.

and NFS 3... which is what u are listening to now ;)
+DCF - HazardReborn ahahaha true :)
Memories we wish we could relive.
hearing this again with the Age of 31... can´t believe it´s already been 25 years since i first heard this melody, brings back many memories ✌
oh damn those feelings right now...
Holy Smokes.... you got it in a higher quality / bitrate! Thanks so much for sharing.
@MightyX1337 - I played this game when it first came out in 1998, I was 8 years old and I used to play 2 players aswel and I still play this game even today and I am 20 now. I wouldn't mind playing 2 players with you, the only problem is it doesn't have online play.
This game was the definition of my childhood and this soundtrack summed up all the fantastic memories I had with this game. Ah... those were the days man, those were the days *tear runs down cheek* :'(
best funky drummer sampled song and best theme ever rom not from earth
I miss the '90s. It seemed back then the era would never end.
The good old games are being forgotten. Now everything is about online multiplaying, nobody calls a friend to play games anymore, now u just sign in MSN and send a message "sign in at X game" then you put a headset on and chat... damn NFS High Stakes brings me gr8 memories
remember this so much from when i was 6 7 years old :)
Romulus 3 definition:
Need for Speed anthem.
Need for Speed anthem = *Perfection*
I Rememeber too when I was 5,6 years old.This song was the best from all of 1998 Hot Pursuit.
Search for "mellowsonic". Enjoy.
Instant Love.
thank you

Hi, I was actually on the Production Team for this version of NFS and based the Hometown track on where I grew up on Vancouver Island, in BC, Canada.
pimped my car in the garage today (nfs) and this song came up... just sat there and let it go through my feelings... oh lord, the good old times.
Rom's music has aged very well.
my brother and I loved this game back in the 90's. he showed me this game when i was 4 and he was only 8. and I kept running into walls. As time went by, we got really good and played Hot Pursuit mode together.
remember the 90's guys. the 90's were a good time. but other times like the 80's n 70's and now overshadow the 90's genius. the 90's were a KEY turning point in music. a lot of new genres were made. and classics like this were shoveled out in arcade games that barely anyone played. only the lucky few survived... need for speed gran turismo and the like. i wont forget. im 24 years old and i remember those days.
My men, we are united by memories. !!
Well f...k I am old that's confirmed ...
I'm glad that you and few others here also share those thoughts bro. It's something amazing that only someone else who experienced at that time would get you. It would be fun to grab drinks with some ppl on here and reminisce :D
Man yeah.. so many memories, so many emotions.. listening to this in my car when driving till now, part of my favourite CD mix I must say!
welcome to real video gaming where u can escape into a screen with beautiful original ambiance and great music!!!! This is my childhood im falling into that same trance of a feeling i did when i was 10 i am now 33!! Thank you NFS!!
Once upon a time....when the Need for Speed Racing Game Series was still one of THE BEST Games ever! Today it´s nothing more than crap!
@Mick's Budget Rigs you are sadly right, i loved Gran Turismo 6, then they disbandoned it and turned the servers off, now we dont have a proper gran turismo to play in multiplayer. Sports is not a bad game, its just not a gran turismo game.
Masterpiece!!
Legendary track, that i have lost for so many years. It's so great to have it back. What a beautiful piece of art.. Brings back a lot of memories. Thank you SweetyHeaven!!
Congrats child, you love this.
@extracredit100 - nice description!! There was something about the countach I really liked. Maybe the rough handling, the raw feel, not sure what it was, but I really liked it
Fulcrum14 edgy... slick tank design. I would like to see a redesign of that in today's day :(
This song is the best expression of that Need for Speed!
OMG, this song call me to back in 2000's, in time, where i've played unreal tournament 2000 and need for speed series games with their awesome ingame electro music... thats simply nostlagic =\
I want to go back to childhood
This is the reason why I love songs made before 2010
Rumor has it, that roms dj skills were on par with his production quality. I woulda trade anything to go back and be apart of the Canadian night life
Incredible good old days ! This was one of the finest NFS Tracks ever, perfectly in the main menu when the speaker the course explained and this track ran in the background, great ROM for this outstanding work :)
Nostalgia hits harder than my shool grades.
I always enjoyed playing this game and hearing this music that keeps me going.
Not even HD and online playing can create the same feeling as old games did... I feel nostalgia when I hear songs from the Gran Turismo and Need for Speed games from the PS1.
thank you so much for this upload!
made me quite sad, that it just doesn't feel the same, when you pop that game in today... :(
WOW, the nostalgic feeling that this song (and others of the early NFS Series) evokes in me is powerful. It reminds me of my childhood days of playing NFS 2, for hours on end with no other concern in life. Listening to this is truly musical therapy.
Why is this track so appealing? I don't think it's just nostalgia, there is a timeless quality in this song
When you see the Main Menue like 1sec and you hear this.... GODLIKE Vibes ❤️💪 good Old Childhood
I just found the fact awesome, that a song originally made for NFS2 was so good, the developers just re-used it for Hot Pursuit.
Passed 12 years from my first touch on nfs. It was best moments in my life. I still listening that music when driving my car. Wanna roll back time :(
I sat at my computer for hours listeing to this sound track it gives me flash backs of racing....lots of memories......lots of memeries :')
If history runs in loop... there must be a time for new titles in game market. I'm sure. We desperately need new games with good vibes. Like this..
so much great memories...my generation was at the best upbringings
OH MY HAPPY SCHOOL DAYS....
@Fulcrum14 i know what u feel and mean about this song i have it on my mp3 player i listen to it when i have deep thoughts and i love the changing of melody and tone .... at 2:54 - 2:27 was the start to working to a transition 2:27 -2:52 was the build up to the transition 2:52 was the transformation then 2:52 - 3:20 was the saying of " THE........ TRANSFORMATION....... IS......... FINALLY........ DONE"....... that how i perceive this song..... i love it
The best track from the OST of one of the best games ever !!! This track is what comes to my mind when I hear the word "awesomeness" !!! Fucking epic
I'm so glad I was born in an era with this great music, we had a beautiful childhood buddy! =)
by far THE BEST MENU MUSIC there is
what else would be the first one for searching "rom di prisco" than this? :))) excellent!
This was the first racing game I ever played. Then it was NFS4, then HP2. Fell in love with videogames from them and learned a tiny bit about modding. I remember my dad helping me download cars for NFS3 and 4, then in HP2 I figured out how to play around with police settings... oh the sheer number of police cars my poor PC had to endure xD
this track changed my life
