Underground and MW 2005 , absolutely amazing, but THIS NFS, this era, it was way ahead of it's time. Only 30+ people like me and probably you will understad how much this changed the racing Game concept.
Luckily I played almost all the first generation need for speeds even the first one running in DOS BOX in my PC. I think that the series shouldn't move away from this essence, awesome landscapes, exotic cars and hot pursuit. The only great one of new generation that I played was the first Most Wanted (2005) which for me was a big step from Underground 2 no matter how the NFSU2 fanboys try to prove against!
@@IPlayKindred Heavily disagree. While Most Wanted has better police chases, the overall driving is much more stiff and the game isnt very well refined, having things like rubberbanding AI or glitches (at least in the PC version). Also, if we talk about pure racing (racing without cops), NFS3 is the king, no other Need For Speed provided me much more customization on the races itself and fun, while having total control over my car. Most Wanted is still a great game, but NFS3 is a masterpiece for 1998.
@@sebastiankulche it is a masterpiece, however mw handling is work rly well with the map, besides it isn't(well atleast for me) about the handling itself, it's more about how much the game tests ur ability to work with, and about pure racing alone, i haven't found a game that nails that till now, buy for 1998, well i'll be honest it;s great.
@@IPlayKindred The handling isnt by any means bad, the controls are really good, just i prefer having total control over my car in any racing game, and apart from CTR and NFS3, no other racing game gives me that, at least of the ones i played.

I played the HELL out of this on PC. Endless amount of user made cars. The OG when it comes to cop chases. The presentation, music, everything was great about this game.
@@PS2GAMER100 Yeah, and also the tickets scales depend of the amount of time you end up surviving without being arrest. In theory it sounds cool, but the amount of times i get arrested only for doing a flip in mid air, or for trying to dodge a spike strip in the last lap of a 8 lap track was insane.
@@sebastiankulche yeah that's BS how the smallest bump are crash you get a ticket like wtf my car didn't even fully stop for me to be getting a ticket or arrested and the crazy driving physics those cops do while driving in front of you is unfair and while screaming into your ear while doing it like f that but yeah the ticket scales are great and gets your heart pumping when you have you evade for to long and one mistake and it's off to the slammer lol

Damn, NFS 3 is a million years old and just watching you racing is intense because its so close. Dont know, modern games are also with hard opponents but here there is this factor involved where every shortcut or jump could kill your race completly. No freaking rewind button no second chance.
This is the real NFS before Underground/Most Wanted NFS style arrived. Pure sportcars to high level supercars, no parts modification, exotic locations/tracks, & awesome rock/techno music list.
Some people would see High Stakes like just a more complete version of NFS3, and therefore, much better (like Worms World Party/Armageddon kind of thing), and while i agree than High Stakes is a masterpiece and without any doubt a top 3 of the series, this would be very unpopular, but i still prefer NFS3 for only two reasons, the handling on rain that is so stiff (unless you use a fully upgraded Porsche 911 Turbo or the Mclaren), and all the padding it has the career mode and unlocking the cars in the hot pursuit mode. NFS4 is the most complete experience, but NFS3 imo was the most refined and consistent one. I understand why people prefer High Stakes though, and it still lived up to the magnificence of NFS3.
@@sebastiankulche Bad crash physics? The PS1 have a more fun crash physics compared to PC, in PC you crash the car in a high speed and don't fly like in PS1. I only had problem with PS1 physics in beginning, after i learned how to play.
@@Silva_GP Yeah, is fun, is fun crashing at 10 kmh and flying 10 meters, or what about being in a pursuit at 200 kmh, being hit by a cop from behind and flying at 10 meters and being arrested automatically in a 8 lap race. So much fun. The only thing the PC port physics needed to fix was that sometimes when you hit something (like a wall or a opponent) sometimes it feels like it has a magnet on it, but other than that it was one of the most solid racing games i ever played.
NGL the warping is surreal and it's reason why most PS1 car games didn't age well for me (as well as how slices of world materializes from thin air) Meanwhile prerendered games, terrible controls aside, didn't have those suspension-of-disbelief breaking anomalies. As well as how Silent Hill's very clever use of fog.
Race3 Rockypas track with that song allways makes it feels the speed is *2 faster hehe :D Great visuals upgrade in that game with that emu :D both nfs3&nfs4 pc&ps1 are great :D

This brought back memories racing with my dad in 2 player. We wore this game out. But I can not remember the track with the Benz CLK GTR. What's it called?
If they want to remaster this classic they really should bring back the wepons and give us a storyline that we can feel like the races mean something and throw in some DLC with trucks and SUVs cause that is what the cops were using and we still beat them and maybe some music selction also they really should try to make a remaster collection of the old test drive games can’t wait to see more about solar crown
@@BJI82a No, that kind of thing wouldnt work with og Hot Pursuit formula. Og Hot Pursuit works more as a simpler and refined to the maximum racing game with lots of options to customize your racing through a main menu, not a boring and empty open world with crash mechanics. What i would add to a possible remake would be an option to race all the tracks in one, being connected each other would be something interesting imo, and obviously add more cars and the tracks from the other classic NFS, but maintaining the physics and controls, and of course a mode to aprecciate the beautiful tracks of the game, but nothing more. To be honest, this is the type of game that doesnt need a remake/remaster since the developers wouldnt understand its real appeal and esence and they would screw up. The modern patch for PC with widescreen and 1080p is the true remaster of the game imo.
I’m old enough to have played the original NFS on the 3DO. That game was super impressive at the time and worlds ahead of anything else. When this game landed, it took the game into the stratosphere.

@@famousmcfly80 "A hard drivin clone" A much better one with actually good controls, no bad tracks and no rubberbanding. Is not like Need For Speed 1 was very original anyway.

OH HOT PURSUIT!!!... this the game we played so much back in elementary days...so this is the NFS Game much familiar to me and some of my friends played this game....i really love this game....there are some shortcuts and if i remember there is a car that is above on all of them but its handling is terrible...cant remember the name of the car...
My first NFS game. The menu music still sends nostalgic chills down my spine.
Agree. So did when pursued by tons of cops.
Same here!!!!!😅😅
Same, this game was so fun, I still remember winning my first race

Sadly not everyone will appreciate these classics. Lots of them are all about the Underground and Most Wanted simping.

The golden era of nfs
No longer get Tickets anymore in New NFS games
yes THIS was NFS not the crap you see today
This is the best Need For Speed ever made and even more on PC imo. NFS3 has some things that racing games even today lack.
So did NFS MW 2005, both NFS UNDERGROUND games and Hot Pursuit.
OMG back when everything was perfect... Movies, tv, music, life overall :c
Still mightily impressive for the legendary PS1.
I would rather play this than the new ones. Never played this one but looks super fun! Great sense of speed, nice level design. Pure fun.
It's the best, especially the pc edition

Playing Hot Pursuit Remastered on my Series X and I love it. The closest thing I can get to those memories from my teenage years
That drift tho 4:29 🙌🏼
In 2019 i made the same with a Lamborghini Countach, i hit the C5 Corvette and he flipped XD.
My GOD!!! These are the best NEED 4 SPEED games ever!!!!! I so much miss this series 😢 😕 😞 😔
Man these old games are gold. We had so many multi-player sessions
2023, NFS III HOT PURSUIT is still legendary game. Even after 25 years after its release.
I played this game for first time in january of 2019, still my favorite NFS game for PS1, the soundtrack its so perfect.
I remember the horn cheat that flips all the cars, it just blew me away. 😂
Also the 20% power cheat
This was my first video game. I still got it to this day!! Damn this brings back memories
Agree. Despite not many cars in NFS 3 either. Only 10.

My Favourite NFS in PSone Gen.
i always respected ICE, such a good driver! like him and bullit would be soo ahead of everyone else and it was hard back in the day!!
This game made me love cars
You pick the Maranello what a legend 😎
This is the real NFS before Underground/Most Wanted NFS style arrived.
Pure sportcars to high level supercars, no parts modification, exotic locations/tracks, & awesome rock/techno music list.
when games were games and not an attempt at simulation and there were no problems with it
The nostalgia of the menu's and the music is indescribable.
These police chases in my childhood were so scary :D
