- Today I can finally present you one of the many bigger projects that I have been planning for a while already, a comparison of the Drag modes in all of my racing games that have one besides NFS World and Shift 2. I recorded two Drag runs in each of the games, which should give you a good idea of what Drag racing is like in each of them. I also applied widescreen patches to the older NFS games to make them more enjoyable to watch on CZcams.
Timeline:
0:00 NFS Underground - Main Street with Eddie's Nissan Skyline R34 GT-R
1:11 NFS Underground - 14th & Vine Construction with Mazda RX-7
1:59 NFS Underground 2 - South Runway with Nissan 240SX
2:53 NFS Underground 2 - Bayview Bridge with Mazda RX-7
3:42 NFS Most Wanted - Riverside & Terrace with Razor's BMW M3 GTR
4:25 NFS Most Wanted - Seaside & Camden with Porsche Carrera GT
4:57 NFS ProStreet - 1/4 Mile Drag with Subaru Impreza
5:47 NFS ProStreet - 1/2 Mile Drag with Ford Mustang
6:33 Grid Autosport - Detroit 1/2 Mile with Ford Mustang Modified
7:27 Grid Autosport - Autosport Raceway 1 Mile with Dodge Charger Funny Car
8:08 The Crew Wild Run - Salt Flats Drag Trial with RUF CTR-3 (Solo Run)
9:11 The Crew Wild Run - Miami Drag Trial with Ford Mustang (Crew Run with Akor)
10:15 Need for Speed 20 - Pedal To The Metal with Dodge Viper
11:45 Need for Speed 20 - Speed Tunnel with Porsche 911 RSR 2.8
13:08 Forza Horizon 3 - Drag Strip with Class C Mercury Coupe (Rival Mode)
13:55 Forza Horizon 3 - Drag Strip with Class S2 Dodge Dart vs Class B Ford Mustang (Showdown Race)
In the first 3 NFS games with Drag your goal is to hit the perfect rev at the start and at each shift. You can also use nitrous and you can draft but you have to watch out to not overheat the engine at the end. In Underground 1 + 2 the traffic can be turned off but in Most Wanted it is always on and the cars are also in the same spots every time, so for each track you have to learn the route that avoids the traffic.
In NFS ProStreet the tracks are a lot more simple and you have the additional task to correctly warm up your tires before the run. This is pretty trivial though.
In Grid Autosport you first have to position your car at the start line. There are several strategies here but it would go beyond the scope of this video to explain them. I could make a separate video about Drag in Grid Autosport if many people want to see more of it.
The Crew added Drag spec cars with the Wild Run expansion and in Drag Trial events you also first have to correctly warm up the tires. Unfortunately the Drag spec physics were messed up with a patch in April 2016 and were never fixed again, so now your tires always get too cold during Drag Trial runs. You can also play Drag Trial events in a crew with collisions turned off, so you can easily reach faster times than solo because of the drafting. It is not possible to do Drag Trials against AI opponents in The Crew.
Need for Speed 20 got Drag tracks with one of its free updates. Here you have to warm up the tires by doing a burnout for the correct amount of time. Unlike in the older NFS games you can freely control your car here during the run (as far as the physics of the game allow it...) and not just switch lanes.
In Forza Horizon 3 the Drag Strip is just a regular track. You can either play it in Time Attack mode or against other players but not against AI. One poor design decision in this game is that there is no countdown before the start and you can't even see the rev counter during your first moments of driving, which can be annoying with cars that want to shift up very early (not shown in this video). And in multiplayer Drag races cars in lower classes actually get a ridiculous head start. For example class B starts 12 seconds before S2, even though it is only about 2 seconds slower, so I have no chance to win in the run that is shown here, even though I am using the fastest Drag car in the game.
Feel free to let me know how you like the Drag modes of the different games and if there are any particular ones that you would like to see more of.
I could also do a similar video for Drift but this would be a lot of work, since Drift is included in a higher number of games and it would also take me some time to learn it to a reasonable degree in each of them, so I would only do a Drift video if a lot of people ask for it and if the Drag video turns out to be very popular.
Thanks to Akor for helping me record The Crew. You can find his channel here: / @akor - Hry

Rest in pepperonies you will not be missed
Died because driving like a duck and a fast train hit him
Date 2017-2017
Jasper777 I could only hear the thomas the train theme getting louder xD
That scared the hell out of me when I saw that...good thing he captured that.
Damn that shit looked brutal
That was my Favorite Drag map😅
Drag races in NFS underground were too epic
И самым лучшим!
@@B0STON прострит соло
Especially the one when you have to jump above the train
And hard af
Perfect Shift
2:38 the closest call win, almost blown engine and an 0.01 margin difference
Yeah, that was a close call. Only because he did not perform any Perfect Shifts, causing him/her to slow down.
1:40 CJ is still trying to stop that damn train
Xd
What do u say
Oh hello there :D
ooooooooooooo
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
4:14 My heart stopped for a minute
If you heart stopped for a min you would of been dead so dont chat shit.
Mine too lol

"YEAAAAAH YOU THE WINNER BRAAAA"
"Wait... where's John?"
*silence*
LoL But he must be Stan or Ishii who are Totalled while racing
@@nymka7826 Pretty sure it was Ishii because he drove a Civic. Nonetheless R.I.P Ishii
Hiiibo
It was not John,it was Stan,but not the Lee one.
@@LikeAGaruda drag races in FH3 is much better
NFSu1, 2 and Most Wanted are the only Drag Races that can transmit me the sensation of pure indomitable speed!
Try a drag race with a Supra on ProStreet. That shit goes flying at 400 kmh. Its so broken. You can even do 400 m wheelie with it if you tune it good.
pro street was not bad
Dude never played ProStreet
1:41 When CJ is still following the train
Cj nigga :)
Adam Ye cj: smoke slow down ! That train cause of us hited a car!
Bigsmoke.: I dont care the money the power the dip im in love Whit the damn. Train
All you have to do is follow the damn train CJ!
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA
Underground and underground 2 .......best tuner car game ever!
Yep
Midnigth club 3 dub edition remix is good too
Carro so quando vença?
What about most wanted
I may add forza horizon 4 here. But nfsu2 still had ecu tuning. Which was absolutely impressive back then.

That race is actually scripted in such a way that if you're not 1st you're done. You hit the train xD
Whats this stupid yeet shit I keep seeing?
Train said I will make double kill nobody can't win just me
12:52 _LMAO!_ *Not a scratch!* _Nice!_
lel, they should've put "wow" instead of "laughing my ass off"

JAJAJAJAJ

the car was like that when it began
3:22 RIP car to the left.
*T O T A L E D*
Could have been me. Exactly that happened to me once.
It was Captain America. He's alright.
2:42 That cinematic ending race clip from Underground 2 just all vibes. Fantastic game even though i hate EA with a passion. EA blackbox did a decent job on the Underground-series.
"I hate EA with a passion". That came from the heart, I read it. Fuck EA.
All nfs games which were made by black box are legendary even till this day ea can never come close to that level.
Developers are not the publishers.
@@forests.9597 My brother in Christ ea blackbox was still an ea studio
Damn Underground (1/2) actually still looking pretty good!
Finally someone who agrees with me on that. :) There are actually a lot of people commenting the opposite under my videos and I just don't understand why. In my opinion the graphics of those games have aged pretty well. They are still nice to look at.
Miss the neon mod & NFS designed body kits
@@mohdfaiz88 well there is neon mod in payback
Back when everything was so much more better
The gameplay is decent too
That second drag race was awesome! I love how the player looked back at the right moment to see that train hit the other drivers.
NFS Underground 1 was one of the best of all and till to day.
So many memories of that time ... I miss those days.
😭😭😭😭
Replayed it during quarantine on GameCube and it was still just as great
Are you sure? Game's broke as hell
Nah its buggy as shit but Underground 2 is a masterpiece
@@edwardalonski6994😂
1:42 "It was at this moment that they knew, they f*cked up"

I laughed so hard when I saw that scene! 😂

I remember going to internet cafes with my friends and playing cs 1.6 or underground 2. Best days ever
Savage TM me too, me too 🥳
Hape pa koh
I know there wasn't much love for Pro Street, but man, it's still an amazing real life concept racing game, it has everything you'd ever want and more, and after modding it a bit it still compares to some AAA games. An amazing game honestly, along with underground 1 and 2.
Oh my god that win by .01 second
I love NFS:U2 drags. It's the best racing game ever for me.
snoweee i like turtles
Same for me
snoweee I like drugs too
First Underground is better imo
These clips show why the older racing titles still hold the crown! Granted all we had to do was move the stick left or right to change lanes but, we still had to shift correctly. I had a wheel too, damn those were the days!
I mean you still kinda have to shift at the right time too in Morden games
Nfs 1 and 2 and most wanted have aged so well
Through PC lmao, the original ports look pretty blurry and not as much content as nowadays.
1:41 Thomas the Train lol
Ricardo V.Tarazona just imagine the thomas soundtrack hitting the speakers the moment the train hit that car
Ricardo V.Tarazona GET OUT THE FUCKING WAY BITCH
I feel sorry for whoever got crashed by a train.
Thomas is Triggered ahahahahah
All you gotta do...is hit that car C FUCKIN JAYH!!!!
They should remastered underground 1&2 that would look so dope
Carl Johnson that's what nfs 2015/16 tried to do but it backfired lol
Carl Johnson NFS does look good so why
I just played through the original NFSU again, after some tinkering to get it running on win10. The graphics look serviceable, but the controller support is super janky. It wouldn't remember how I set up my xbox controller in the obvious way (RT throttle), forcing me to set up again every time I started the game, and the throttle itself behaved bizarrely, where you have to press LT to take the foot off the gas.
This game deserves at least a GOG-like treatment to improve compatibility.
@@HoriizunnsGamingChannel they just dropped demo without finishing it. a lot of locations, cars, music were not involved. 2015 has best physics so far but have to fix some bugs.
NFS 15
Well put together video thanks!! 🎉
1:41
I can’t stop laughing 😂
Look at those cars
That was in style
1:41=-40
that nfsmw 2005 jump tho!!!😍
Sometimes it spawns a bigger traffic car there. Then you will crash if you try that. :P

4:25 that Porsche Carrera made everything easy once you unlocked it. I always loved the sound it had in this game, realistic or not it sounded damn beautiful
idk why but i cant remember this car in the game lol
These games were crafted beautifully with lot of passion❤
6:14 vin diesel would be proud
Old NFS is the best
Which one? Lol
@@wizardrhyme9597 almost all nfss are good. but hot pursuit last remake and the run is trash af. rivals godlike. nfs 2015 godlike. all godlike
@@wizardrhyme9597 also world is shit
Underground
Underground 2
ProStreet's drag racing was really good
Edxander Perez yes
Edxander Perez it still the best drag racing part ever
I remember I kept wheeling out on the last boss til I realized he totals his car every time
Super underrated game
but the cars are to fast for the hp figures
Prostreet will always have a special place in my heart.. i remember playing it as a kid on the original Wii with the little racing wheel accessory you slide the controller into.. good times
4real
4wheel
2 player split screen Nevada highway.... I'ma go play that game
Damn nevada highway was so difficult
You got some skills bro, big respect 🔥
Thanks but I am surprised that you are saying that under this video, lol. In this video I am not even showing anything skillful. If you are looking for skills, then check out my videos of fast lap times. :) Here is a good one for example: czcams.com/video/Jysc7_1s8Sw/video.html
1:41 was the best moment lol. I find it interesting how many variations of Drag events there can actually be, considering it is just driving in a straight line. They really fucked up Forza Horizon though x) Can´t really tell which I like the most though!
Cuauhti Mustermann there's no drag racing per se in Horizon 3. That's just an online race that happens to be straight.
Yes, I laughed so hard when I saw that scene at 1:41 :'D
Plus, considering the variations of ''drag'' racing where you need to turn, like in MW and NFS 2015, it's actually really dumb…
I mean in Drag Racing it's supposed to GO STRAIGHT AHEAD!
Kev27RS Absolutely. But you do need to turn on The Crew with the drag spec whips b/c a lot of races are on streets. I'm sure you've played so you know how almost impossible that is to do even with the few settings they have that help. TC2 is coming out soon so we'll see if they keep the dragsters or replace them with speed boats or drones or some crazy I can't wait stuff.
DD dorsett
UG2 drag race is best considering there are airports,trains,and huge jumps.
MW drag race is great too
that Porsche jump tho
You know... I miss Need for Speed Underground... And it took me this long to realise why I loved it.
2:15...oh noooooooo the spinners
toasty lemons dear god not those...
Oh gad
This brings back alot of good memories. The kids today will never know how awesome these games were
Two best NFS games to this day are Underground 2 and Most Wanted
Underground 1 + undergound 2
FAllNSF underground 1 was trash. Most wanted and underground 2 is the best!💯
@@lowlifespore8993 Underground 1 wasnt trash, it's still a good game
And carbon
No. High Stakes and Carbon.
The Carrera GT sound engine in Most wanted 2005 pure love

DAMN THAT CARRERA WAS FLYING
and a charger is exceeded 600 km/h+
That was actually incredible
@@senpaidarken9410that charger was Made for Drag Soo Is normal for that cars
@@pipipupu1964 I think the game failed to display that speed correctly, the environment didnt moved that fast. For example on flatout 2 with Flat mobile you feel the speed much more there, ore even in older NFS games.
carrera GT is MW is supposedly the best car
First UG will always hold a special place in my heart, I bought my first car a Skyline R34 in 2002 and got it recoated to mocha gold just like Eddie's car. Couldn't afford to wrap it tho unfortunately. Had to sell it in 08 during GFC. I still think about that car :(
Most Wanted with the iconic M3 paint scheme ❤
Jesus Christ they really made the drag races extremely close. I really liked that first race in the white 240sx. So close literally came to whoever had the most balls to overrev the car haha
1:41 Top 10 saddest anime deaths
TheCoolGuyxXx69 hilarius & original...
Juampa viteh ja
I've played both of the nfs underground till now i still love it , its very nostalgic hahaha missin the old days
nice bro you are a true street racer in drag race
I remember playing Underground 1 a ton online. This was the early days of online play on the PS2. Was trying to be competetive on the Drag ladder. Literally every top player used the RX-7, even tho on paper it had weaker stats than some of the other cars. As you progressed in the game, besides the regular engine mods, you unlocked small bonus mods to your car. You could install the mod, or save it for later. These were static stat upgrades. If you switched cars, all your mods would carry over, except the small bonus ones if you already used it. Those would be lost, the game just didnt tell you that, so what you did was complete the entire game in whatever car you wanted, then afterwards you dumped all those bonus mods into an RX-7. It was just flat out faster for drag racing. It was because of how it it moved through the rev range towards perfect shifts. Top 20 was nothing but RX-7's, the other cars just weren't competetive, not even the Skylines which were supposed to be the fastest car in the game, but it just wasn't.
rx7 was too cheat car. Just can't say something about "skill" and "knowledge". Tuned AWD impreza\skyline starts slower than RWD (!) car, wtf? 700+hp on a rwd car, really has a good traction?
NFSUG2 was the best back in the time
This brings back so much memories
This is epic
You always get me with Need for Speed Thumbnails. The old games until 2008 are just amazing.
2:23
"too soon junior"
NFS 1&2 still looks beautiful.
Those 2 games aged well in gameplay and graphics.
Dang! That Rx-7 clip ends with the other opponents got hit by train was epic!
5:15 heating your tires in a AWD car... interesting
Kostadin Sotiroff This Impreza is clearly not all wheel drive, the game must've switched the drivetrain to FR so that you can heat up tires
ProStreet logic lol
actually it is possible with electronically controlled diff
he converted the awd to rwd but its freakin weird.
You can't change the drive layout in ProStreet
I'd love to have a sequel to Pro Street. Loved the more realistic concept and the drag racing was cool.
Nah, had a 20sec load to a 12sec race, boring
That's why he said realistic
Thats why i say boring
The fun on drag is improve your car, The adrenalin, fumes of The oil and gas.
Hold The R2 for 12sec is boring
@@MrIngorodrigues nah it was fun youre just worthless
Nothing beats the drag race of NFS underground 1, with the train At the end
Nfs underground 2 is legend.. aint none better than that.. we need a underground 3 release
That's technically what NFS (2015) was supposed to be but they dropped the ball hard
Could only disappoint
🤦♂️ boy, oh boy...
After 10 years I started to really appreciate NFS Pro Street 😏
670 kmph.... okay then 7:59
So unrealistic game..
Klugger no dodge charger 670 kmh realistic
Total WTF
@Gennaro Riccio No fucking way it hits 600kph. Those cars make about 450kph
Its a funny car. Them shits go fast
The drag races from Pro Street are absolute perfection. There is no game that has better drag racing out there. Many games after tried to copy the format but failed so miserably.
Thank you. Good vid
NFS Underground 2 for me was and still is the best game ever made……so ahead of its time. I even have it on my Mac that's how much I love it
Same bruh !
Thanks for making such a cool video! I really loved the Pagani Zonda F I had in Prostreet, it had a good 1200 BHP and got quarter miles just under 7 seconds. I think my best ever quarter mile time in that thing was like 6.94. I'd love it if lots of games in the future have drag races, because some of the stuff in this video is real nice to play.
The booster pack Veyron, though untuneable, I could get up to 6.60s on it if perfectly timed
nice work buddy
Top
Dang back in the day, when each game came out I thought "This graphics are great" !! Makes you think about how much more gaming can improve.
Really cool and interesting video, must have taken a lot of work, I would love to see a drift version of this!
Thanks. :) Yeah, I will definitely do a drift version as well now, seeing how popular this video is getting.
So we just gonna ignore the fact that this guy at 1:40 literally died.
man got obliterated
Yup.
He was driving a dodge neon :))
240SX is so nostalgic for me
Damn, first two games are pure gold
First 3
That was one thing i admired about the early need for speed unground games. How they made it look like the ground was shaking as you drove. Like ya really felt the torque and the vibrations of the car. I'd def buy those 2 games again if they polished them for new gen. Games were so good for their time. Racing games today miss so many of those qualities.
I was glad they put the years the games where brought out to the game titles, brought back memory’s and what I was doing in life growing up......
Need for speed underground had the best drag races.Going out in straight line,switching lanes to avoid obvious crashes,switching to rear camera to block your opponens,being careful not to blow off your engine if you had 5 gears,swifting gears with nitrous,cars can get totaled in a matter of seconds +good details and reflections for 2003,which that means the game aged pretty well considering it was released almost 20 years ago.
10/10 game for me, that and most wanted were my favorite ones
Right? It made no sense in the later games where the roads bend. What was the point of calling these races drag if racers also have to worry about drifting and control?
12:54
LMFAO! NOT A SCRATCH!
But alrdy fkedup the hood.
he entered the race in that condition :D
facepalm
@@tariktokalija452 yea
1:40 its the best race forever😂😂
Nice content! 👍
I cried when i saw NFUG Drag in starting, specially on 1:27 brah you've to nos pump after shifting gears, you were like farting with nos tap lol.
This is really good for a small channel like you, can you so more of GRID Autosport drag? that game looks really fun
MOOOOOOOOONNNNIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol
Still love NFS Underground and Most Wanted. Although the BMW M3 GTR was the coveted prize, the Porsche Carrera GT had a special place for me. Its speed, its rev and style is something you can't forget.
That other guy getting hit by the train as soon as you look back is very comical 🤣🤣
hilarious how the modern game is, the worse drag race become
demonized No, I don't think so, they were pretty good in the early years, then they found the right exact spot (ProStreet) and then the Crew fucked up, Forza just added it because "oh, we are street racing now so I guess we need that" and NFS2015 just didn't worry about it so what you saw there was a patch, they updated the game to have drag racing
Forza horizon 3 needed the drag races. As much as I love the first 2 forza horizon games, rival outruns, sprints and circuits aren't really diverse. Yeah, forza horizon 1 and 2 pulled it off, but still, drag races were a nice addition in 3.
it's like that with the games in general unfortunately, not just certain game modes! before posting this comment, i came from playing NFS payback and i only raged at how bad it was, thinking "they just don't make them like they used to" and remembering how they already had good physics and logic in the previous games and they threw it all away! i came to youtube and this video was in my recommended section, clicked only to confirm what i was thinking while playing payback. why would they throw away good mechanics for that disgusting gameplay the last 2 NFS games and those who started using elements from the burnout series had? it's retarded beyond my comprehension! now it's just ramming, crashing, twitchy controls, overpowered hypercars are unbeatable and more! i just don't get how gaming could fall this low when they're suposed to IMPROVE not make it worse with every new title!
Lazer Hawk grid is a great game with realistic crash effects
@@DarkSignal59 I see where you're coming from but the topic of this video is drag racing and in terms of that payback has some reallg good drag races
3:21 R.I.P. 350z for being fast and furious then hit by a van
xD..
NFSMW the 05 version has to be my favorite driving game of all time
I love the quality you recorded this in. Shows great on my Note 9
Just remembered in both of the underground games it was so easy to rice any car.
Also only used 240SX for underground 2.
Lovely lil' car.

3:21 - Cheeky move lol
4:14 - Under the truck...
4:47 - And over the car, cool.
8:35 - Now that's a high wheelie for a supercar.
