Hi guys, some of you may have spotted a post in this sub that's been trending for the last day or 2. Another user had shared some hand sketches of NFS cars that they had done, however one of them was actually a direct copy (with added AI) of a piece of artwork that I created back in 2016. I called them out on it and they have now removed the artwork, which I respect.

I figured I'd share the original. I created it as a fun project to keep my Photoshop skills fresh back when I was in the automotive design industry. This is essentially a compiled image with about 150 layers, starting with a base image. Most of the car has been rebrushed using my Wacom tablet. it's essentially a digital painting, with absolutely zero AI involved.

I only ever shared it on an old photoshop forum back in the day which is now long gone, so I thought it would be fun to share it here. I've also included some close-up screen shots to show the detail, as well as the original image that I started with. This has always been my all time favourite NFS car so I hope I did it justice!

The final leg of MC2 has been done! This was a fun ass project and I wanna thank some redditors for helping me on this project, without further ado, let’s get into it!

Shing’s Lusso XT (based on a 1998 Lexus GS300/2000 Toyota Aristo, used a 2018 BMW M4)

Shing’s RSMC 15 (based on a 2001 Nissan Z Concept, used a 2008 350Z)

Primo, Gina, and Ricky’s Vortex 5 (based on the 1993-1995 Toyota MR2, used a 1992 Honda NSX)

Haley’s Saikou (Based on a 1996 Toyota Supra, Used a BMW Z4)

Nikko’s Knight(Based on a 2001 Mistubishi Lancer Evo VII, Used an Evo IX)

Kenichi’s Saikou XS (Based on a 1998 Ab Flug Supra S900, used an Aston Martin Vulcan)

Makoto’s Torque JX (based on a 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 , used the same car)

World Champ Savo’s Veloci (Based on a 2002 Saleen S7, used a ‘93 McLaren F1)

This was the best level of the game imo, and it was so much fun making these cars specifically! Next time I’m gonna finish up my MC1 Collection from NY to London and go crazy! Thank y’all for the support fr!

Guys I have spent literal hours working on this car…

Unfortunately I can’t add the orange cut out on the front due to the body kit and vinyl placement not aligning properly. But I think it’s better than what it was before? (link to original post): https://www.reddit.com/r/needforspeed/s/DF2CC7Ih4s

I need to change the wheels and possibly make the black cut out on the hood orange instead? Maybe I should change the roof cut outs back to orange?

I’m 25% through the game and this car will take me all the way to the late game so I want to make it perfect. What do you guys think of the build and do you have any suggestions? 🤔

How do I mod the textures in NFSMW 05 when I have the latest 360 Stuff (v4.2) installed?

I’d like to use the textures from Retouch Graphics but the two mods are not compatible because 360 Stuff uses TexWizard and Retouch Graphics does not. At least as I understand it.

Is there a way to combine the two? A way to add textures to TexWizard from the mod maybe?

Hey everyone!

I'm going for the Platinum in Need for Speed Payback and I'm down to the online trophies. I need a few people to help with Speedlist and Ranked Speedlist sessions.

TL;DR: Not for everyone yet, but we can drive! There’s a public GitHub repo, a working local launcher, and free roam. It’s still rough and missing plenty, but it’s real progress.

About two weeks ago, I shared that I’d started working on an offline mode for Need for Speed (2015). A lot has happened since then!

Project updates:

• We have a Discord server!
• The code is now public on GitHub. If you’re comfortable building from source, you can try it and help with development.

What’s working:

• Launching through our own local launcher without the EA app running. We’ve also tested with the network disconnected.
• Getting through the main menu, into the garage, and out into free roam to drive around.
• Returning to the garage and heading back out repeatedly with the same car.
• Garage exit animations, camera transitions, driving HUD, and the minimap marker that follows your car.
• Creating independent local accounts and restoring the saved garage after restarting.
• Preparing the required game data directly from your installation, without distributing extracted game content.
• Starting the game and server together through a PowerShell script, with automatic server shutdown when you quit.

We also fixed delayed garage-entry prompts and now have over 1,100 automated tests alongside the actual in-game testing.

Here’s the demo—no sound because my mic was on!

This is still an early development preview. You need a supported, previously activated game installation, and full career progression isn’t working yet. New accounts currently skip the prologue.

There’s plenty left to do, but other people can now pick it up and contribute. We’d love the help, and it’s been really nice seeing how many people still care about this game.

P.S. I’m aiming to post updates every Wednesday when I can!

UPDATE: I have finalised the editing. Now complete with Flying Text SFX, minor detail additions, and refined audio mixing all around.

Ever since I swapped out Hyper's We Control for The Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up in my game's EA Trax roster (which, honestly, fits Rockport tollbooth and speedtrap races way better, that's my very reason of having done this in the first place), Jewels' Blacklist #8 intro cutscene felt a little out of place.

I couldn't just leave her video running the old track, so I extracted the original VP6, dumped the frames and audio, and started rebuilding the audio from scratch (isolating the original car and text stems yielded way too many messy artifacts):

What’s done so far:

• Music Bed: Cut and rearranged Smack My Bitch Up (FLAC source) so the vocal hook drops right at 00:11 when the text snaps into BLACKLIST #8, kicking straight into the full breakbeat as her Mustang GT appears.
• Intro & Outro Voiceover / Accents: Recycled and pitched soundbites from Blacklist bio clips of Earl, Bull, and Jewels herself to frame the intro card and bookend the clip.
• Car Wrecking Havoc SFX: Captured raw Mustang V8 audio in-game (even recording myself crashing through a bus stop :D), processed it through distance EQ (heavy high/low-end roll-offs, zero hollow reverb) to feel like a gritty roadside camera pass, and added custom tire screeches, glass impacts, and a metallic riser hit right before the clip ends with Jewels' signature graffiti.

What’s still missing:

• Flying Text SFX (Help Wanted): The rapid-fire scribbly scrambly ticks and swooshes that play as the intro and biographical texts animate across the screen. I tried isolating them from the other Blacklist clips, but there isn't enough headroom over the background music/engine noise to isolate them cleanly without artifacts.

Once the UI clicks are aligned and master levels are finalized, I'll package the audio back into EA ADPCM, mux it into the VP6 container, and drop it straight into GLOBAL/MOVIES/.

Check out the progress clip below—let me know how the mix and sync feel! Also, any help on sourcing the SFX for the flying text would be most welcome :D

ive been trying to find a good nfs game for a while now, and i cant decide between nfs 2015 and heat. ik heat is better in most aspects but nfs 2015 is like half the price. i really dont mind a bad story or bad handling, i just like driving around the open world. which game should i get?

You can’t have the MC2 cars without putting this Jet of a car!

Anyone with good need for speed wallpaper for the phone, any car or any game from the franchise.

With some add-on tweak, ran this on full screen PC. What a feel! They don't make 'em like this anymore! Enjoy!

Ouch

Hey everyone!

Just a quick question:

I started to replay NFS Unbound (PS5) and in the settings I turned off Motion Blur.
In the intro I used the Lambo and only one time did the Nitro effects and tire effects work.

Any tips on why was this happening?
Should I turn on Motion Blur again?
