Talk:The Need for Speed

message: In my opinion, this game has been the best of the Need For Speed series.  I always have loved the detailed information and showcases of each car, the videos, pictures, etc.  Also, the realism in which the cars handled was outstanding.  The feel you got from shifting gears, how you could do burnouts that actually felt right, all those little pieces put together a seriously real driving simulator.
The newest series have focused too much in the graphic details, leaving driving realism a little to the side.  You have to agree on one thing (about the Underground 2 game): nobody has ever shifted gears THAT SLOW in their life.
:Yeah, this one was a gooder.  Many an hour of my youth spend playing this game.  However, I'd have to say Porsche Unleashed was better.  Better graphics, sound, tracks, more cars, factory driver mode, and still a huge emphasis on realistic handling.24.69.133.249 (talk) 19:36, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The name of the article should be "The Need for Speed", while the article about series is "Need for Speed". However, there exists already a redirect page of that name, which should be deleted. --Jarkka Saariluoma 10:29, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Renaming "(The First Game)" to "(video game)". The latter is a more standardized disambiguation title, and it isn't nessesary to take into account the game's position in a series. However, the "Road & Track Presents:" title has been returned for the the intro because it's verified to be used in the formal name of the game in GameSpot (PS and Saturn versions) and MobyGames. It's reasonable enough to retain a short article name for accessibility. ╫ ２５ ◀RingADing▶ 15:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: The name of the article

message: It is said that the game was developed by EA Canada in 1994. But how come the EA Canada was founded only in the year 1999? Something's wrong. I mean the game is really old and I bet it appeared in 1994, but maybe the developer wasn't EA Canada. Or EA Canada was founded earlier than in 1999.
:It's interesting to note that the studio, according to GameSpot, has developed games from as early as 1993 (particularly two sports games: NHL Hockey '93 and NHL '94). The PlayStation version of The Need for Speed was also developed by EA Canada and released in 1996. IGN has also included similar titles which predate the supposed 1999 formation of the studio. So I have to conclude that the company is likely to have been around long before 1999, and could have been a different entity prior to that. ╫ ２５ ◀RingADing▶ 10:40, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I doubt this is a mistake.  I have the PC version of the game and the opening videos show an intro of Electronic Arts Canada, and Pioneer Produccions. --Cirilobeto 17:51, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mistake 

message: This article mentions that you can run the game under windows xp using dosbox - however I have tried this and haven't been able to get it to work - I've also seen a lot of forum threads on various internet sites with people trying, and failing to get it to work under windows xp. Has someone actually got it working under windows xp? if so, how?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.168.108.56 (talk) 07:46, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Okay, it's been more than 10 years since I've played this game... correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't there a special car that you can unlock?  A purple futuristic one that goes 260+ mph?  I might be misremembering, and it might be some add on that I had.  Anybody know? Brendtron5000 (talk) 19:39, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
