A remastered version of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit is coming to the Nintendo Switch, and fans are wondering when Underground will get the same treatment.
We got nothing against Hot Pursuit--it’s a fine game with fine racing and fine car chases between cops and illegal street racers. A remastered Hot Pursuit seems like a great idea. But what about Need for Speed: Underground and Underground 2? These two juggernauts of the Need for Speed series have been c🧸ompletely ignored for so long that we’re wondering if EA even cares about them anymore.
The latest report from reveals that EA is working on seven new games for the Nintendo Switch. One of them is the aforementioned NSF: Hot Pursuit, a surprise, but a welcome one. Hot Pursuit is an extremely well-reviewed game that put 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Need for Speed back on the radar of many gamers back in 2010. It returned the series to the sort of high-speed police chasing that the original Hot Pursuit games were known for, and it eventually went on to sell over 5 m🌞illion copieไs across PC and consoles.
But Hot Pursuit has nothing on Underground. When Underground released way back in 2003, it just managed to catch the tail-end of the tuner car craze of the late ‘90s and early 2000s, which translated into huge attention. Great timing aside, Underground and Underground 2 were just fantastic racing games that combine𝐆d cutting-edge graphics and great music to creat🃏e an experience that was unmatched at the time.
They also massively out-sold Hot Pursuit. Underground went on to sell, while Underground 2 .
Timing is even on Underground’s side today. Hot Pursuit is only 10 years old, so 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:nostalgia really hasn’t set in for fans of the game yet, but it’s definitely there for Underground fans. Those that played Underground in their 20s are now entering middle-age, .
Plus, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:given the current political climate, who would want to play a game where you’re a cop chasing down street racers? Now is the time to make a game where you’re the rebel running away from the cops, exactly as what happened in Underground and Underground 2.
People want Need for Speed: Underground so bad that there are even fan-made mods that are remastering without EA's help. Just check out the video below and see how good this game still looks even today, and imagine how m🦄uch better it'll look wit꧙h a professional team working on it.
EA is really missing a golden opportunity. Sure, it might be hard getting the licenses for all the stuff that was in Underground, b🎀ut surely it’s still possible and it would be well worth the effort.
Listen to your fans, EA. Give us Need for Speed: Underground. Thಞere's no better time to start thi🎐s engine than right now.
