THE GRAPHICS MAN, NO MODERN NFS CAN RIVAL THAT


Player121228

I have to agree with you bro, ghost COOKED that graphics


Muesli_F

To be honest, i think the game graphics were great in every game since 2012, but the style of this game made them even better


Andrededecraf

for some reason I still prefer the graphics of NFS Rivals


BentTire

I like both. In terms of graphics. Rivals is really pretty and moody with its nature setting. While 2015 has a great city atmosphere.


superfast598

Both are stunning


nickd009

At the time it was the best graphics I'd ever seen on console


bobby1712234

Not everyone hates this game But to answer your question: I love the graphics I love the preset wraps I love the ost I love the characters(it doesn’t matter if they’re cringe or goofy) I love the drifting I love the tuning I love the design of eddie’s skyline(not that I hate the original design) I love Ken block being in it(rest in peace) I love Eddie coming back And that’s it I think


Player121228

Same here. I love this game and don’t understand why people dont like it


Gerarghini

Because the driving physics are horrendous Literally the only thing from making this a perfect nfs aside from maybe more intimidating cops.


SukhdevR34

Yeah it's a shame that the one big thing this game doesn't have is the most important point of a racing game lol


bobby1712234

Probably because: it’s lacking things, the physics, the customization, crash screens and cops or atleast the majority of people


Player121228

Yeah maybe, i hate the crash screen of this game.


bobby1712234

Same


ImNotAnybodyShhhhhhh

It’s definitely not lacking crash screens


TheMarso

forced to be online might be a reason tbh


HungryManticore_88

Forced always online, which means that the game is dead once EA shuts the servers down (it's not a matter of if, but when) Garage limit (which fortunately can be bypassed) Weird driving physics Pathetic cops Players who prefer Hot Pursuit style games might not have liked the urban setting and perpetual night


Monkeywrench08

Also the last NFS that has Toyotas. 


King_Throned

Ken Block being in it. Rest in Peace


Player121228

I didnt knew he was dead Rest in peace


F34rl3ssPl

Just to let you know, he died at January 2nd 2023 at around 2pm riding his snowmobile(the scooter thing which u can drive in snow, idk if it's called snowmobile but I just type that), as I did read the posts, the snowmobile did fall on him, so it just crushed part of his upper body. He wasn't driving alone, he was riding with friends, but they didn't notice he was gone for a while. RIP Pioneer.


ImancovicH

Not to disrespect or anything, but this man drifted a loose car on the edge of the docs, died because of a snowmobile he passed away the worst way possible


fucksif

everyone keeps saying graphics but i haven’t heard anyone talk about the atmosphere. only modern nfs game that actually felt like a game about street racing, and not some game where you can race on the streets.


dhatereki

I loved the presentation. It was a brilliant mix of real life footage and cgi. It celebrated the car culture which many have missed out on afterwards.


Player121228

Yes


M4tth3w1A7E

Unofficial UG3 and cops aren't annoying, perfect cops for me.


ImancovicH

Anyone who says "iTs nOT aN uNDeRgRouNd gAmE BecaUse iT hAs COpS" is dumb. because Underground 2 was supposed to have cops based on the leaked data from the demo/betas and the early phases of development


Player121228

👌


SukhdevR34

The cops were awful though? It's so easy to escape. Cops are meant to be annoying and scary like in MW 05


Smilloww

The cops are basically non existent in this title. Understandable if cops aren't your thing but I thought that was unfortunate


Apprehensive-Lion-58

Graphics indeed & music .. was quite surprised to hear lots of Monstercat tracks ! Story maybe was not strong point but i had my fun for 60 hours or so


neon937

Trailer with aero chord music bought me. Driving model was ok as its best, graphics - still amazing and the tuning was nice. In general, this is the Underground 3 we have, but still not the one we deserve.


KkKtookmydogg

Hmmm I'still torn between the graphics and the overall vibe of the game. It just gave me that good feeling. Shame the gameplay was not that good.


ofdtv

The **a e s t h e t i c.** Other than that, I think it was an okay game. Driving physics were mid at best, the music was alright, the story was... a Need for Speed story. Don't hate the game by any means, it's not even remotely bad, but it's also far from my favorite in the series.


theguy153onreddit

Pretty stupid but it having toyota


ImancovicH

#this


s1tnom

I really love Graphics , the vibes that the game give you racing or just going around the city and the characters and their fit in the storyline


Mr-JDogg

Even to this day it looks so good. I mean they kind of cheated with it always being dark and wet but oh well. The story was cringe but in a good way. The driving mechanics take a bit to get used to but are fun when you figure it out.


FrankAdriel32

It's not that everyone hates the game, it's just a very loud group of people who hate it. But I gotta say, I love two things about it, art direction and soundtrack, they're so good.


Player121228

Fr


Pony42000

I played it only 50 hours but I liked it except the EA side of course ,the only thing is the drift when it is bugged but you can adapt to it


ToaGresh300

The handling


Player121228

Uhh you’re different


ToaGresh300

Traditional_Ice_4142

The rain effects lol


Dos_Potatoe5

I loved the driving, the atmosphere, the graphics, the weather. The vibes of this game are unmatched


FearEzzy

Graphics Customization Ken Block (Rip) and his Mustang Nakai San and his Porsche


Austin_Redfield

The graphics and the vibe. Immaculate.


Glum-Credit-4387

The story and the characters


BrilliantOk1779

Graphics, customisation


Doctor2Doctor

Diner waitress


ImancovicH

This guy is up to something


Siul19

Graphics, also the gameplay loop and how they made fun of Spike


F34rl3ssPl

The story and graphics are good, I mean, there are not many games where you're able to meet Motorsport Icons like Nakai Sam, Magnus Walker or Ken block


RunSilent6068

its simple feels like real street racing unlike these new titles


chubulousJR

I loved how nostalgic it made me feel from the Underground games.


Agitated_Occasion_52

This NFS felt like Most Wanted/Carbon. It was like a breath of fresh air. I go back and play though it every couple years. Its one of the best in my opinion.


ImNotAnybodyShhhhhhh

The neighborhoods where it’s raining. Ooof best night of my life.


DeltaCrest

Music, the vibes, photomode. the story (this is a time when nfs still treated street racing like an actual crime and not heroic like in nf payback and unbound) oh and the wheel selection


JustSmile2-255

I like the feeling of night driving, feeling that you can have when you are on the car meets, but you can build your own car, with your own style. I don't know how to describe it, but this is something like the JDM or car meets culture. You are cruising, and it's a deep night, and the lights are kinda everywhere...  Also, the optimisation for low PCs is very good, I remember same level of optimization from first Test Drive Unlimited. I'm playing on the graphics settings between mid and minimal, but game still looks good and has a stable FPS.  And also tuning and the car list are really good here.  But also I hate this game because of REALLY BAD story, "need for online" (I hope they will make the offline patch), and the physics. Also maybe limited garage storage is also a problem, but for me it isn't so. I mean, they are not so many cars here, especially with good tuning, and for me 10 cars is enough.


JustSmile2-255

Upd: the only characters that I liked in this game are Nakai-san, Magnuss Walker, Ken Block and this guy who is Manu's friend, but kinda doesn't even exist in the story, just to be honest


UltimaKnight99

\-Handling might be tricky but when you get it down it's super satisfying to pull off massive drift chains (with friends!) -Best soundtrack of the Ghost era by far -Best Girl: https://i.redd.it/nnzzrrvtyd8d1.gif


JeffGhost

The only thing i liked about the game was that the story wasn't cringe like the follow ups. Also it was cool that Ghost used real life people like Ken, Nakai San, Magnus Walker in it. It felt like a genuine celebration of car culture.


peanutbuttahcups

100% agreed. No other game has come close to capturing modern car culture in its story.


Assassinsayswhat

1. GRAPHICS 2. SOUNDTRACK 3. VIBEZZZ


rated3

I hope they don't shut it down like The Crew next year.


Fantasy_Returns

Atmosphere, the carefree and chill story with friends was refreshing


coroll89

can anyone tell me where i can download this game via torrent? i dont want to pay for it.


Business-Culture-265

You can't play it for free with torrent, the game has not been cracked


RelianceBrand

Dawg, this game is like dirt cheap.


ClownTownXpress

Graphics, music, customization, UI…the entire art direction was on point. I really miss it all, except for the trash driving physics. I eventually got used to it but once I tried to get into it after a several months long hiatus, I could no longer put up with it and deleted the game. Oh well, got my money’s worth (107 hours of game time).


Comfortable-Car695

The fact that you can’t buy it on the PlayStation store unless you subscribe EA!!! 😒


lokippl

best graphics/atmosphere ever, 10 years later and criterion took the piece of shit handling and made graphics/atmosphere 10x worse, thanks criterion


OkPossession4404

Well put it this way, the only thing I don’t like about the game is the crash cam, everything else was flawless in my opinion.


Billy_Mercury85

The Soundtrack


RENTZ811

My favorite thing would be able to play it on pc


darealarusham

The graphics. And the story's not as bad as the new games so theres that.


Tw3lv33

Atmosphere, interface, graphics, cops (kinda, I like realistic approach but they're too stupid), story, map (it's too small now after 100hr but I love highway wrapping the whole world), music and handling after tuning the car and getting used to it is smooth asf


SukhdevR34

The customization was insane. I think this game came after rivals which felt like A COD game in terms of menus etc and had pretty much no customization. This was like a modern underground with its customization, probably less overall parts but more specific ones rather than ace or ripper or whatever for every car


OtsdarvaOS

That I got a chance to learn about Ken Block before he passed. It hit harder when I found out. I looked more into him and Hoonigan back then too. Seeing what he's about. Bless his soul. To this day I never beat the challenge he set for the drift thing in the hoonicorn.


KriegOpfer

Nothing


DCAUBeyond

They replayed music from the classic era like Sirius 909 and Romulus 3


theunusualblackguy

vibe and atmosphere


Alecides

The vibe. The atmosphere. Probably the most relatable, you're just street racing with your buds and occasionally going to bars


akoblin927

Touge plus everything


PeteyTwoHands

Graphics, livery editor, and the customisation. My least favourite thing is the handling.


Racing_BS

It does a great job at making you feel like a street racer in the LA underground. The atmosphere is unmatched


Syliss1

Not the handling, that's for sure. I didn't think it was so bad the first time I played, but I went back and fired it up not long ago and it just does not feel great. That said, I love the graphics and the overall atmosphere, as well as the customization and soundtrack.


Player121228

Same


brandonhabanero

Live action cutscenes blending in super well with the in-game graphics


HyperClouds

Porsche.


Player121228

👌


averagebloxxer

The graphics and the Ken Block content, if the game gets an offline patch I'd play it a lot more


Player121228

Same. Im afraid the servers would shut down while im trying to platinum it lol. I hope it doesnt end up like the crew, but more like NFS world, that people cracked it and created their own servers for people to play.


Tomy_266

Ken Block and T O Y O T A


marshallxeno

Toyota


Live_Variety9201

The cars, graphics and the soundtrack


ARKASUS83

EA didn't lose my save game so I have to start all over


Independent_Fox5322

I think it was a lot better than the run....the graphics were the best of any NFS at the time.


thesaucefather

The graphics. That gritty night time vibe was the shit


genericnfsfan217

It looks pretty, and the story in retrospect wasn't that bad.


71Bussgead

The cast and plus you actually meet real racers the game felt real.


Tweaker-mustang

That I can outdrift beamers in my ek9 😂


MagnetaCyan7

Everything except the unskipable dumb cutscenes that make you feel like you're part of a loving fun family type racing crew but then you find out slowly they're corny lame. The way you start races Felt like playing underground 2 tho which was cool


theanticircle

Seeing the car I built in live-action cutscenes is something I'll never forget. The storyline was believable and grounded. Featuring real racers and builders was a cool choice that added to the realism. The rain, music, map, roads, everything just added to the overall vibe. It felt like a night out with your friends.


HuuIsHuu

I just like this game, period. I think it's way over-hated. I agree the driving model can be frustrating, I agree the cops are worthless, I agree the story/characters are some of the worst we've had in the NFS series ever. But the *vibes* this game goes for, the sheer joy of just rolling out in your favorite car at night to do some night time riding, the presentation, etc. - it's unmatched by any modern NFS game. And I've even gone as far as to 100% the game.


jg_machado

The aesthetic


311Konspiracy

Three words: FMV


ThisIsMihai

I got a few, the Supra, the soundtrack, the vibes, the characters who, let's face it, are college kids (except Travis) the tuning

Everything


Natsumi-Winter

The graphics and the supra.


iLikeRgg

The music and map always made me come back to the game


huedor2077

The lore was pretty much about hanging out together with some friends and having fun. Some say it was bland but it was somewhat real, something maybe you could live on real life.


pkxsh420

graphics, in 2015 dat be so fresh. music.


DJ710217

I Love The Soundtrack And The Cars And I Like The Story And Graphics And The Cutscenes.


ImpromptuHotelier

Atmosphere


MakkNero

Graphics/Atmosphere Toyota Rays Wheels Soundtrack “Vibes” - I had some of the most fun random roll-up races with other players when the game was still new because you just didn’t know how built your opponent’s vehicle was. Had some dogfights, had some stomps, but it all felt very much so like “run what you brung” street racing and that just doesn’t exist in games all that often.


MidnightSPL

Alot of great stuff has been said. I really like the map on this one. All the games after this just felt like they made the map big for the sake of being big, and most of it was just fields and random streets. Drifting on the mountain area was so much fun with the homies. The game did have alot of flaws, but personally one of my favorites. I think it gets alot of hate, but people want to see different things in these games and they will never make everyone happy.


Lopsided-Mongoose-63

Driving, races(especially), atmosphere. I wish there were more cars


Msalati

The POV story makes you more immersed, customization was the best we've ever seen, and graphics were top of the line for its time. Great game all around I loved it a lot.

No-Student-9678

The graphics are insane. And it brought proper customization back after a good 8 years.


eatmyfeinstaub

the vibe


1864Fox

The overall vibe. It feels SO good, cruising around at night, listening to the soundtrack. And.. well, I liked the story too. Yes it's not really good, but this is also a NFS game. I never played a NFS game where the story and/or the acting wasn't at least somewhat cringe. Anyway, I liked it. It's a fun game, and when you get the hang of it, even the handling model is not super bad. It's not good either, but I could make it work.


eXclurel

Seamless transition between live action and in game graphics. I have seen nothing even get close to that.


PedritoMorano

Atmosphere, by a long distance


Deathect3D

For me it's the best modern nfs title. One thing i don't like is always online. People complaing about physics but you can tune handling in garage ...


SyntheticDreams2099

The atmosphere/vibe.0


88JansenP12

The atmosphere, the icons and the graphics. That's all. Unfortunately, the [craby](https://youtu.be/Z_iQC_UurME) [handling physics](https://youtu.be/yP7DgkIrvtg), the crash cams, the lazy Ventura Bay cops and the Online Only are [non-eraseable stains](https://www.reddit.com/r/needforspeed/s/9poIYAAo56).


OkZookeepergame9467

The vibes are immaculate


Smilloww

The graphics, and theres something about the vibe that I like a ton. Somewhat difficult to convey. The yellowish lighting feels realistic and to me, nostalgic.


Vaz_G

Everything except for the gameplay


Fortnite_cheater

That it's not NFS unbound.


YogaBudiW

Vibe. For me, NFS 2015 is a game that successfully depicts the nighttime street racing scene in the modern era, and that's the only thing I like! The rest, there are many shortcomings in NFS 2015 that make me not like this game.


Own_Judge2115

Car prices being affordable to buy since nowadays you’d have to grind a ton to get cars like a Chiron, F1, or a frickin Regera. Plus the Supra being there for the last time!

Fr0styIceCube

The vibe. The characters, the simple story. And the driving unironically. It's so much fun to drift around in this game once you tweak your car right


frenzygundam

Love the vibe and art design of the map/world

Drifting and music 100%

mike5mser

The graphics were good


JollyAstronomer5786

Atmosphire really it got a different vibe


Epicgammes

There's honestly a lot to like. I rather enjoy the drifting(when it works), the graphics are unrivaled, and the story isn't all that bad, it's a refreshing change of pace for the series to be 'mostly good vibes'. There's a lot of problems but I really don't think it was \*as\* bad as it got dogged for TBH.


QuanBiu

Graphics so real, but all night and rain


MustangRider86

Graphics.


the_great_awoo

I love the system with the cops where you can just pull over at first, and a REALLY love that they'll pull you over for speeding and reckless driving and stuff, whereas in the new games if you're at heat 0 you can do whatever you want as long as you don't hit a cop


Rustedcrown

I really liked the story and characters, it's was cringe but in a really cute kind of way, made me feel like I was watching a 90s movie


Neat_Welcome6203

Looking back on it after getting more involved with my local car community and rolling with a team that hosts meets out here, it's an endearing representation of the real thing. And as cringe as they may be, every character in your crew brought *something* to the table and played off of each other in a pretty charming way. Also, there's an In-N-Out we hit sometimes that's basically our equivalent of the NFS 2015 diner and I couldn't help but smile when I drew that parallel revisiting the game recently.


JustAnother_Mid

The map theme, industrial areas. i played every other modern nfs games (except unbound) but no other game map felt realistic and detailed as NFS 15 map


Barash304

The atmosphere


Deemahsus

Graphics and corny dialogue, true nfs stuff


Enough_Ad_1833

The cops(sarcasm)


Leviathan_Wakes_

The grungy vibes and atmosphere still have no equal. Heat's nighttime was fucking dope, but it had a different, more sanitized atmosphere in comparison.


-ComplexSimplicity-

The graphics and simplicity of it. It FELT like a racing game.


More_Marty

It was the best story ever since Blackbox was cut from the franchise (even though that's not a high bar to pass). The atmosphere was amazing. It's just that the always online functionality and the lack of optimization for current-gen systems hold it back so much. I still love playing this game every now and then on my PC, because on the highest settings, this game is such a vibe. I can't be bothered to play it on my Series X, it's so muddy.


Yuump42

Night, rain, graphics and customization


-Silverhand-

Everything. Idk man I just couldn't hate the game. Still playing it now sometimes


Likemaster97

All, especially the collaborations


Jdmfan17

FUCK IT, THE NIGHT TIME AND THE RAINY GLOSSY LOOK. I never understood why everyone at the time was complaining about that when EVERYONE AND THEIR MOM was crying SO MUCH about making a goddamn UG3 style game yet we get one and that's ALL THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT TO THIS DAY. So what it's not day and night like most games except that weird part where it's dusk/dawn blue? The game looks BEAUTIFUL either way regardless and still holds up today.


kader91

How well it represented car culture and the post-rainy night look.


Diligent_Ad2489

Hudson Mohawk 'Brand new world'


kinjazfan

It has legends in the car world


CrazyConversation804

I love almost everything about this game. The car list and mods could be better. People complain about Physics. But if you build your car correctly and play with the confics, you'll have no problem driving. Game gets more hate than it deserves.


TheRealThunder1

Graphics and KEN BLOCK BEING IN IT \[r.i.p.\]


Near_Void

The atmosphere feels very carbon-esque


Valko_Haddu42

1. Customisation  2. The characters (rip Ken)  3. The drifting is so smoooootthhhh  4. The ”storyline” or the progression  5. Almost forgor the amazing graphics


Dubsking1

Only things i dislike honestly are the handling model and the cops being basically useless, other than that, the presentation is absolutely fantastic, and despite the later games probably being better to play today (except for Payback) i would most likely still choose this one. Also please for the love of god come back with the live action cutscenes, it looks so much better and more atmospheric, i hate the modern 3D look for the new games so much, 2015's story is not strong and its basically just a backdrop but i felt a lot more engaged and connected with the world because of the cutscenes.


Dense-Ad-8204

The overall visuals is what got me hyped when it was announced. The well detailed car models, being out in the rain in the gloomy city streets at night, that somewhat realistic graphics that makes you feel like you're watching a found footage. It's strangely nostalgic and calming. I also like how you have more options to adjust your car's stance. It shouldn't have been removed in the later titles.


pec90

Everything, lots of great memories playing this, first game I ever platinumed as a casual gamer!


ItsJustEmirhan

I dont like any NFS game...

Anyone know why I can't access community library on Xbox for this game?


MrCrunchypantsbum

The price when i bought it. Like 6 bucks is pretty good for what it is

I honestly liked the overall atmosphere. Characters seemed "cringe" to most, but I also liked them too.


MilesFox1992

Vibes and Graphics


Doug666green

Actually nothing hated that one


FMtyedie

I really enjoy the highway system and all the curvy mountain roads. I love the head to head street racing system. I like how gritty and realistic it feels and how it birthed the formula that NFS still uses to this day. My favorite part is the highway outrun races. They make me feel like I’m in Wangan Midnight or Tokyo extreme racer! https://preview.redd.it/t60weep0zi8d1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=326c686cb37d4e9e88ca8dd7e3ea46e7c06932a7


CharlieTeller

Im gonna get hate but I love the handling


RkezDominguez

The drifting trough the mountains And the fact all wheel drive can drift too ANNDDD I can be takame and drift the Ae-86. I also this was the last nfs game with Toyotas


rcp9ty

I loved the ambience mode the game would go into when you sat idle for too long where you would just hear traffic noises and random street racers but at the same time if a player drove past your car you'd still hear them fly by.


wingmanWOLO

Honestly, I really like the story arc.


Soulcal2master

The graphics. TBH, the graphics and online for missions and free-roam were the only things that I liked about it.


cebixd

Toyota Supra!
