Need For Speed Prostreet

I am a die hard gamer of this NFS.I started it all when i was studying eight grade with NFS:Hot Pursuit because it was the only game that worked well with nice graphics in 1.1Ghz Pentium 3 desktop computer.Then i played a little in NFS Underground 2,Most wanted and Carbon but i havent finished the whole game yet.Even carbon was not easy to play on my computer as i had 512MB RAM.I have written the development of the Need For Speed in a little precised form.

NFS,the brand which changed the name of Racing Video games developed by Electronic Arts and released in most of the platforms like PC, PlayStation,PS2,PS3,PSP,Game Cube,Xbox,Xbox 360.EA released the first NFS in 1994 in which the players have to race and win the games inorder to unlock other tracks and cars.The first attempt is to provide a realistic simulation of car handling and physics without arcade elements except Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed, which is the most realistic.

Check out this teaser trailer of NFS Prostreet :




In 1997,they released NFS2SE and in that they made countrywise tracks and introduced the knockout racing mode where the last person of every lap is thrown out of the game.it recommended graphics card like 3dfx Voodoo and Voodoo 2.Later NFS:Hot pursuit was released which had cop chasing and busting.It also included audio commentry from CDROM.NFS:High Stakes had mountain racing and split screen was developed for 2 player racing.The opponents are equipped with AI and they all have different driving characteristics.From NFS:Porsche Unleashed the simulation of car handling and physics became realistic.And later NFS:Hot pursuit 2 was developed for pursuit racers.

In 2003,they made NFS:Underground with illegal street racing culture on the roads in the nights with tuner for modification of the car.Nitro made realistic to feel the speed of the car.Inspired by the Fast and the Furious Series they developed the Underground which had different genre of racing games like Circuit,Sprint,Drag,Drift,Checkpoint,Speedtrap.By betting money for racing and spending them for the car modification.

In 2005,the Most Wanted become on nerve for NFS lovers.It included the free roaming around the streets like GTA.It mainly concentrated on Pursuit and introduced and had various heat levels in which the AI of the police is increased.It included Blacklist and there are 15 of them to finish the game.Rap sheetsNightmode racing of Inital D:the movie and Tokyo Drift made them to create NFS:Carbon which had racing in the canyons and had realistic lighting in the game.It recommended 1GB Ram and 128 Graphics Card to feel the smooth performance.

Coming October,the eleventh NFS, ProStreet will feature next-generation graphics aiming for a more photorealistic feel, and more advanced physics. It will also be the first Need for Speed game to include damage modelling since porsche unleashed. The new damage system is said to be very accurate, a collision with any object in the game world may render a car useless, or damaged.
