Need For Speed: Heat

 

 Need For Speed : Heat:

                                      Need for Speed heat the second game coming off the need for speed reboot known as Need for Speed 2015 we expected a lot, we expected a lot coming off, coming off a game payback that wasn't that great. It wasn't to par wasn't as a quality for speed game, like we expected, we expected heat to capitalize off that and addressed issues both in the fy 2015 and Need for Speed payback, we expected a game that would come out firing come out, you know, addressing those issues and adding more content to that expected something, you know, to be like top tier upper like upper echelon like you know that next level Need for Speed games something that bring us back to like 2005 you know, most wanted or underground to something that was a quality Need for Speed game something that would bring us back in are putting the put the need for speed franchise back on the map. But what we got what we got is what I like to call just a whole bunch of wasted potential, we got a game that for off the bat from release was about one one month, maybe two months, no max worth of content that was quality content, I think that really showed what he possibilities of he were you know, the what could have been he is showed what the base was, you know, the potential and let us know as they were scouting and we seen the ability What if he had and what it could have continued to bring in what could have been honestly all we got was a fun, no solid, dare I say in great need for speed that lasted about a month but one year later does that Disney fee still have that it factor that made it you know, solid great game, I think for the one or two months that it was you know, still, you know that it lasted irrelevance was there for for one month. So in this video, we're gonna go over the good, the bad, the ugly, of reefer speed heat.

                This is still a quality game one year later. And what could be done in the future Need for Speed coming in 2022. So that being said, let's get on to the good. The good. What I really liked about this game, there's quite a few Honestly, I'm not here to hate any fee no 29 defeat My bad. I think customization top tier best in the genre. No other racing game competes to the need for speed, he needs to be 2015 level of customization. It's just, it's unrivaled. It really is the customization really, I mean there's not much you could you could add more stuff. But for right now customization is top tier really is top tier, I mean, it's hard to ask for more customization. And then within he has truly knocked it out the park with customization to make your car your own and add stuff you want to your car, you know, with the vinyl editor to the parts, the wheels, the lights, the smoke on the tires, the engine swaps. So many things let you be creative and let you just, you know mix and match to make your car your own car. And it's just so great. It's the best part of any speed franchise. So as you know, the modern day speed franchises the customization and brings to the table compared to other games. And if he he knocked it out the park needs to be the same thing in 2015.

                   They added more stuff and customization top tier knows no complaints on my side and no complaints whatsoever. customization is you know, this is top its top tier for sure. Like I said engine swaps. Great Great, great addition to the fleet franchise first time we've seen it first time was seen and I think it was great. I mean, you can make any car almost any car like very, you know, top tier almost I mean, you can just make it any car you want. You can make it a fun car. Just because it got a two liter in line for that doesn't matter. It does not matter. You could throw a big blood VA in it. You could throw you know German v 12 in it. You could throw whatever you want into it. And you can make your car fun and make it really it changes the sound as well. So many things engine swaps customization great point on his feet he great job Great job. Great job. Another great thing I liked about initially he was the police police were revamped in this one coming off 2015 wishes they tried to introduce in 2018 they didn't do a great job but they fixed it they really did fix the problems and they was you know so much better and he now they actually chase you the heat level goes to five give me give me that you know reminiscent of nice most 1005 vibes a little bit sure could have been done better I think I think having destructible police in more ways to escape than just you know putting your foot down is would help I think the police were a good revamp added to the whole night scene of HPD really added to the you know atmosphere as a whole as well. Overall Grade Point police were really solid another point I think it was really solid. When if v is the story. The story I'm not gonna say really solid I think it was it was better is much better than pay back in 2015. Both of those were like, you know, kind of trash. Let's keep it a buck. I think the story was pretty solid. It was better. It wasn't anything crazy. It wasn't you know, like, you know, it wasn't like blood borne issue. I got to explain the lower than the feet heat story. You know what I mean? It was still solid game.

                     Solid story made you feel for keggers a little bit. I think it could have been done a little better, but overall was a good point. It was a good point. So the game could have been done better. But I think Still solid compared to the other games and it's just moving forward hopefully the story is better but for right now I think it's deserved to be in a good spot because overall story was pretty good wasn't great, but it was still still a solid solid story nonetheless. 

                    So let's keep pushing for more good more good stuff and if the heels celebrate give it us flowers while it's still around lack of microtransactions shares two cars two f1 and the Aston Martin that were added later but those are just two cars and it just wasn't  microtransactions upgraded car like and pay back that was tough That was tough the way they did that that was definitely a downside but they fixed it didn't add it back. There's no really microtransactions that affect the game at all like he can go the whole game without buying anything and you're just it's you don't really gain anything like it's just cosmetic or yet cosmetic for a new car or something so it's not a big deal in my opinion maybe people look at it you're more critical Microsoft transactions but there wasn't many at all. So I think it's definitely a good point on he again we shouldn't be celebrating you know not having microtransactions like shouldn't be there in any way really. Or it should be very you know minimal again you know coming from EA is our to ask them not giving you microtransactions so I think it's good thing was there money also a good point to speak the best point.

                I think needs to be besides the customization of course, is the handling it really up to handling this year or last year. And they made it solid does not like 2015 where you're just flying into things and you can't control your car. I think the handling was definitely upgraded and really shows and can really feel it in every car. Every aisle like you know all wheel drive, rear wheel drive, front wheel drive, it just feels different and you could just feel it I think the handling is definitely was much improved. And that really that's the you know, Heart of the game. Really if you have trash handling. No one's gonna want to play your game and it's really gonna like your game look at 2015 the atmosphere atmosphere was top tier cars customization top tier, everything was top tier. Oh everything but mostly everything was top tier except the handling and that kind of threw everybody off from the game. I don't even like playing 2015 if I'm playing it on the ps4 right? Because it's just the handling is so bad. I can't drive and that's what's the point of a racing game if you can't enjoy the driving like what like you're customizing these cars and have this atmosphere for nothing. It's like it doesn't make any sense it's like liking cars but not knowing how to drive kind of situation I'm in right now down terrible all six steps of success in a month or two right yeah handling great great point they really fixed it made everything feel very responsive great you know great job goes you know there things are disbanded great job great job boys now let's get on to the bad the bad is we're gonna call that just you know bad points that aren't you know life and death with this game but are still nice should be mentioned because they are indeed bad indeed. So music and soundtrack let's keep it a book with the past three needs to be games soundtrack has been trash like maybe again it's all subjective but none of these songs are heading I mean there's a few a few right but within just not they're not not that good. 

                    A lot of us just throw on Spotify and keep racing right like I think music and soundtrack it's a big part of the game big part of the atmosphere it really shouldn't be addressed. I don't know the inner workings behind you know getting good stuff and songs and getting different licenses and all that but I think more efforts we put into getting quality music and you know good soundtrack because it really adds to the whole game. You have a soundtrack that really fits the vibe okay most wanted most wanted vibe was for gritty in the dirt you know type music and that's what they got, you know, a bunch of rock bunch of, you know, isms like most wanted music fit the bill and fit what the game was meant to be. Same thing underground to you guys had Riders on the storm with Snoop in it. It fits the whole like, you know, underground racing scene, crazy customization. It fits that vibe. And that's what he I thought the music just didn't just I don't know it wasn't that good. It really didn't. I mean, I guess it fit the vibe a little bit, you know, Miami, you know, Type Beat but like, it's just not it wasn't I was not good. It wasn't that good. It's been like this for the past few years now. Music has not had not been there. I think that's the point that really should be addressed. A lot of people aren't talking about another major point I think it could even go on the ugly really is the lack of endgame after you beat the main story there's really not much to do nothing to do afterwards. It's good to be honest, like a lot of games have an end game that you could play towards and I think that really should have been added into heat you can make the case that it's like a story game was like the last of us you know after you get done that's it you know it wraps it up. But it's nice to be the heat is not the same story as the last of us like if the story was that quality, that good then sure I'll give you that but it's not the case here. 

                    There needs to be some sort of end game something you're pursuing afterwards through the added the crew system but that was so like, half Big was not an endgame like are grinding it'll have to level 50 to get with that Ferrari as not an endgame it really there needs to be much more more endgame for people that if you beat the games you can beat the game within a week let's just yeah you can like and that's being generous like the game The story is not that long there needs to be an endgame some sort of progress after you beat it are people that actually to keep you know to keep the game alive keep people playing it so yeah there's no end game I think that's a really bad point that needs to be brought up lack of online multiplayer let's keep that's terrible honestly pay back even after it's you know being bad gaming all right well I'm bagging but it wasn't that great in my opinion at all in multiplayer had a good online multiplayer like I think it was really solid I enjoyed playing online and pay back even though the game the handling a little whack the online multiplayer was solid he just doesn't have it. It doesn't make any sense how are we gonna have a racing game and no no ability to brace people online like you know a structured way not as crazy as make any sense even like the Souls games like they have online like that's a game you don't even need online really, because you know, the content so good already.

                The offline content, but nevertheless, like there needs to be some sort of multiplayer. What's the point? What do people do in real life? They don't race but they race each other. At street race. I mean, come on, like what are the people racing? I mean, like, come on, people are racing each other. And it's a video game you can make that happen. As how's there no online multiplayer, it doesn't make any sense to me. Now the ugly let's get to the real worst parts of an ESP that I think are just outright just terrible blasphemous, even is the lack of support after release. You know, this was coming right? This game has been dead for the past like, since like two months after its release, because they haven't gave nothing to it. The only updates afterwards were the McLaren f1 and the Aston Martin that was it now is paid you know DLC our kind of down paid DLC you know if it's to a point that if it was quality stuff but they just didn't add anything afterwards not even online multiplayer no speed list nothing. So I think just the lack of support after release is the downfall the lack you know, the potential was there but they didn't you know, they didn't capitalize and that's just that's the worst part of the fee. Let's get that that is the worst part of naevus pd is the lack of support after release. It really is. I mean, I would appreciate anything even a battle pass like I know I know battle pass, right? Like Come on, but like just something something something Come on, like, just to keep the game alive. Like it had so much potential, but end up getting wasted. That's the only real ugly point I have on this game. Everything else it's a solid Need for Speed game for like, you know, first two months before you reach the end. It's a solid Need for Speed game, but just the lack of support after release is the downfall. It really does it in and really made the game not good potential was there. Just completely wasted and it hurts to say but it really is a potential was wasted.
