  • Ahhh yes, the oldschool beasts of the road. Lambos, Chevvys and Porsches. If only they made the games like this again.

  • @grijam02 and corvettes

  • @fred24097 A Corvette is a Chevvy haha...

  • I used to watch this every time I played the game haha

  • Okay everyone, I've been a Need For Speed fans since NFS 3: Hot Pursuit, and had collected NFS games like NFS2 and High Stakes.

    I myself have nothing against Need For Speed Underground 1 because I liked it, since the makers wanted to bring in the realism of street racing and tuning to the franchise. The only thing I didn't like about that games was that you could not drive everywhere in the city and that you did not have Pursuit Mode.

  • the time when the stock sportscars were better than the hillbilly tunning japanese plastic cars

  • I miss dis game :'(.... I still have it I just don't know were is it its some where in my house

  • *ricer's engine dies*

    Porsche 911: HAHA! SEE YOU!

    Corvette: Look, a ricer!

    Yellow Lamborghini: That's awesome.

    Purple Lamborghini: LOOKIT THAT!

  • @POTATOESLOL Porche: us cant beat me! Corvette: thats what you think! Yellow Lambor(short name): :( im last Porsche: i found a shortcut Yellow lambor: No! the train Cop:*eating donuts and drinking coffe* *racers pass infront cop* Cop:All units, we have street racers Corvette: COPS! Yellow Lambor: RUN! Cop: I need a helicopter Dispatch: the chopper is in the air Corvette: Now a helicopter? Cop: i need a road block Corvette:WHAT?!!! Yellow lambor: AHHHH *crashes* Porsche:*turns in U* failed!!!
  • fuck yeah, playing the shit out of this on my computer

  • What is the car at the beggining of race? At the right of the porsche?

  • @EmpireofTim isnt that a saab

  • @EmpireofTim honda civic

  • And that's why not to tune your car xd

  • nfs high stakes was the best nfs ever!

  • LOL yoo this game was the shit back in the day!

  • what car is the car at the start supposed to be? lol. it kinda looks like a ek9 with a Porsche badge on the front and pained up like a rallycar.

  • GREAT MEMORIES :)

  • ♪Gee my 993 ran great, those were the daaaaaaays♪

    Still have this game, still love it. I always thought the paint job on the ricer looked cool, though. It's more suited for the Porsche that just pwned it, XD.

  • What ever happened to the good 'ol days of car showcasing with a narrator, slideshow pictures of every car and actually have a FMV (Full Motion Video) of each car driving in real life. Each video was always unique to the certain car they were showcasing and always enjoyable to watch. EA just got lazy and shit over the years.

    They need to get the original crew from the Electronic Arts - Canada studio and produce something that we all remembered and grew up with and loved...

  • Up until Porsche 2000 (Unleashed), these were the GOLDEN years of NFS. 1998 where most of the magic happened and to this date, I think the original NFS3: Hot Pursuit was one of their best games. It was revolutionary at the time and the soundtrack was absolutely incredible. Its a shame that EA (Electronic Arts) fuked up the franshise with stupid rice burning crap with the Underground series and so on and its a REAL damn shame they shifted to commercial artist and music which destroyed it for me.

  • I remember how many hours I spent with this game. Unfortunately I didn't take great care of it and it's a little too scratched now. But I at least still have the game and all the memories of it. Maybe EA will come to their senses and remake this with a little graphics improvement.

  • WOW NEED FOR SPEED IS THE BEST !!! JUST LIKE NFSHP 2010 !!

    i remember playing this game when i was little

  • Бумер в нфс рулит!!!!!!

    )))))))

  • I have this game :D

  • those were the days...

  • Comment removed

  • A Abertura mais loka q eu jah vi ate hoje....

  • I miss this game so much.. this game was the first NFS game I have evere played

  • 13 people got owned by 911 turbo

  • Watch and learn kids, watch and learn - thats a game where the NFS series have died as far as innovation goes (no - graphic enhancement is not innovation).

    Imo this part (4) was the best of the NFS series. All thats above it is garbage. Utter garbage. If EA would remake this part with the modern graphics id still play it today.

  • @LiezAllLiez

    Idd!

    I loved to play NFS HS, U and U2 were fun, but everything else was crap!

  • 0:51-1:01  EPIC ♥

  • Comment removed

  • This game was sick, and still has the funnest races when you chase drivers down as the cops

  • OMG OMG i loved this game so much and played it like crazy

    911 TURBO FTW

  • Dear EA, bring back the old, classic graphics, like in NFSIII or High Stakes.

  • Too bad I lost the disc, thankfully I have the NFSIII disc, the second best nfs game ever!

  • havent played this about 7 years, but i think this is the best NFS eva.

  • I wish all of the nfs games from ps1 can be downloaded to Psn to ps3

  • NfS 4: Best NfS ever!!!!

  • Straight from the Start ANTI rice thats how all nfs should be

  • the sweet music heard in nfs 4 & 3 wasnt 2 be heard newhr in the series later :-(

  • I love the beginning; say "Fuck You" to a rice, lulz...

  • This is why EA ditched the whole Underground fad in the franchise because Need For Speed is all about racing in prestigous exotic cars and intense police chases, underground took both those concepts and threw them out the window and when Hot Pursuit (2010) brought the series back to it's roots it was a breath of fresh air. NFS: The Run looks like it will stick to this style, it was enough to piss off the Underground fans lol

  • @JustAnotherUser565 Yeah but the only problem that need for speed is still sucks. In our days games has no soul and they all about the money. Just look at the newest NFS called "the run". It has a terrible physics engine and a needless booring storyline. NFS officially died in 2000 when Electronic Arts canada finished the developing of the series. I think after need for speed porsche unleashed ea black box has ruined the series.

  • Anyone know the song of this video? :P

  • Still have the disc.

  • I remember playing this back in 1999 oooh great memories and a great game.

  • Ah... I know this game!! I played it a lot when i was grade 1

    and i played splitscreen with my friend

  • I gotta say.. this brings back special memories.... back when racing games still kicked ass... I wish they could just remake NFS high stakes with better graphics, more cars, more tracks and more customization options... that's all they need to do... why they went from this to fucking pro-street, underground etc. drives me insane... the graphics were the only improvement. Since NFS HP2 (ps2, xbox and gcn) it's been nowhere but downhill.. the only good game after that was hot pursuit last year.

  • @hellpurge108 It brings back great memories it makes it fun. Oooooooh ps3's have facebook fuck facebook that is one reason id rather be a kid again and why do graphics matter? Its how good the game is not the presentation

  • God this game is just absolutely beautiful!

    The only NFS that I finished 100%.

    I remember the first time I saw this intro and at the end when the Porsche peels out I was like "dang" with a chill in my body.

    This game was the reason why I started loving sports cars to begin with.

    High Stakes 2 please but just like the classic 3 stage upgrades, same music with additional similar style tracks keep the old cars and add some of the new ones (One-77 vs Reventon, that would be awesome).

  • @hellpurge108 Sure i do use them and like them but they don't make life better id rather play my ps1 because it ha sentimental value to me.......bitch

  • @hellpurge108 I have all of that stuff except for an iPad anyway how does that stuff make you have a have a better life?

  • @hellpurge108 All that shit i overrated all i need for entertainment is my ps1

  • i was born at 1999 at first i saw nfs underground i was like oh come on why evryday cars and tuned then few years later in 2006 i found out about high stakes and i was like OH....MY......GOD...... this is the best thing ever!!

  • I remember when I played this obessively, along with Pokemon, watching Ed Edd n' Eddy, and that was my life when I was 5, sheeeiitt... Still got the CD too.

  • Fuck everything that came since Underground onwards. This is the real Need For Speed. Back when I was a kid and knew nothing about aerodynamics and all that. Just plain simple racing. Ah, the good old memories. I still play this on my PS1 now FYI.

  • The song in ths intro is awesome! Does anybody know the artist and the name to this song?

  • @oggich

    Artist = Romolo Di Prisco

    Title - As I Know - "NFS HP Intro"

  • If youre a child of the early 90s gimme a HELL YEAH! :D

    I never got tired of watching this intro as a kid. Kids nowadays completely missed out!

  • @7StringBlazer HELL YEAH!!

  • @hellpurge108 Uh... NFS Underground did NOT have free roam. Free roam was introduced in UG2.

  • @hellpurge108 Well.... the economy was also better back in the 80s ~ 90s... and pollution wasn't as bad as it is now.. and the US didn't have to keep sending troops to the Middle East and spending money on war... and so on and so on...

  • @hellpurge108 Exactly! We didn't have all that, yet we had a better life back in the 90s! Isn't that just ironic?

  • @hellpurge108 Yeah, lame for the current generation... It's such a shame. We used to have great things in the 80s-90s. Great games, great music, and great cars. Not that there aren't any good things nowadays, but it's just not as popular. Games like Black ops or Need for Speed Shift are acutally selling better than good games such as Portal 2... and artists like Justin Biever (however you spell it) and Lady Gaga are the best selling artists... what has this world come to?

  • @advanceshipper What has this world come to? One simple word, Hell.

  • @hellpurge108 Exotics that you can put spoilers on and add neon lights... You have to have LIVED in the 90s to know what the TRUE NFS feels like. No free roaming or customazation... just the need for speed.

  • Oh lord... search for "Need for Speed" on google images... and you'll see that Need for Speed is dead. All the exotic cars, beautiful european tracks... it's all gone. RIP Need for Speed!

  • I always noticed that the ricer had no right tail light...to this day, I now realize the car is full of texture errors. Silly 3d modelers!

  • Sorry wrong thing

  • Need for speed 5

  • nowdays the gameplays have the graphics of the ps1games ' intros

  • I wish i still had this /:

  • @TheEmericaboy187 me 2 man

  • eu ja finalizei esse jogo

  • fuck that brings back some memories

  • In my opinion underground was the first realy good NFS. All the games befor looks absolutly terrible, they was boring and there was no individulity.

  • @Finsterdrache

    No Underground was terrible, you couldn't drive around and just had missions to finish. And the NFS before UG were about Supercars and not about TFTF cars. Now Need for Speed is a game build after The Fast and the Furious...maybe they shoul name it after TFTF and not NFS

  • @Finsterdrache

    Underground was a ricer fest. Down right pathetic and the biggest disgrace in NFS history. The only reason it got all the props that it gotten was because of The Fast And The Furious.

  • @Finsterdrache I say in my opinion it was a good game, not that it is like the original NFS.

  • @Finsterdrache You obviously never played NFS4.

  • @chase19b4 That's not right. I played it and it makes fun. But not long...

  • @Finsterdrache lol, yeah i know you have! what racing game do you like the best or better?

  • @chase19b4 That is hard to say. I like the new version of Hot Pursuit very much. Also Split/Second is great. And there are so much more. I also like the Underground Parts. I now much don't like that, but I don't know why. I like to drift. And that games give me that. Juice 2 make that perfect. There are realy great drift levels. I also like NFS Most wanted and Carbon. But I don't like undercover and Pro Street. The city of undercover is not very detailed, it looks not like a living world.

  • @Finsterdrache I don't like Pro Street, because the handling of the cars are terrible. Only the drag races are cool. In the other NFS games I don't like it, but there I like it very much. Strange. I also liked the old game Destruction Derby 2. There are much Arena fights and one level with a big gap on the side of the arena. I liked to push the other racers in the gap ^^. I liked also the first driver game. Very old, but I liked it to play. Also Flatout 2 is a great game. Fun, fun, fun.

  • @Finsterdrache Let me guess. You're a wigger gangster kid?

  • @krocialblack

    No.

  • some one knows how to make that game running on vista x 64?

    

  • was this rom di prisco ?

  • Does anyone actually know what that tuned ar is? Or if it's at all unlockable in the game?

  • Excellent ce jeu, que de bon souvenirs!

  • amazing soundtrack

  • 12 peole are are gay

    ;0

  • Still the most epic racing game intro to date.

  • der Porsche machts natürlich ;D

  • best nfs to date

  • @rainmaker4mk hot pursuit 2 is close second ;)

  • Oh ... I love this game ...

  • A real NFS

  • This video reminds me of a few things...

    1. the last time developers remembered the idea of 2 player on the pc

    2. the last time developers put usable menus on the pc

    3. the last time developers understood what the pc gaming audience wanted

    4. the last time a proper damage model for exotic supercars existed in a game.

    since then, NFS has gone dramatically downhill in terms of gameplay variety.

    I don't know what EA doesn't understand about this.

  • I remember this from 1999 they have made even better nfs lnow

  • this was my very first ps1 game. wow i miss it. im sad now :(

  • OMG brings back memories!!!!

  • REPLAY!

  • make high stakes for 360

  • Still the best NFS.

  • @Gagabow The only thing lame here is YOU.

    You are gay, fuck off.

  • this game is fking old, and stll fking own

  • This intro gives me chills, I remember when I used to play this game.

  • silly honda

  • O CARRINHO QUE PIFA NA LARGADA É DO RIDGE RACER!

  • While these ricer punks are howling for a Underground 3 they need to make a Need For Speed High Stakes 2. Too many goddamn teenage punks trying to be Paul Walker or Vin Diesel playing a Fast And The Furious knock off! Hot Pursuit 2010 came close to bringing back NFS, but I want it even closer. PLEASE EA! DON'T PAY ATTENTION TO THESE RICER XZIBIT KIDS! Bring us your TRUE fans Need For Speed High Stakes 2!

  • HOLY FUCKING SHIT, THE MEMORIES!!!

  • Not the best intro in the series but...

  • best NFS ever

  • Typical magic soundtrack from NFS HS watch?v=PfRm8FMNNh4

  • 0:18 was like an orgasm to my ears. Porsche FTW

  • Love how the Civic is rear wheel drive...and rear engined...:P

  • The best intro to a need for speed ever

  • we can all remember staying up late playing "just one more race"..........and then the sun came up because you just couldnt stop. i never got tired of seeing this intro.

  • Back in the days this intro just crushed my tits and ballz!! It's still awesome!

  • This is probably the best racing game ever made.

    I'm a 90's kid and I played this game. *sigh* Good times....

  • Iv got this game on PC too hard to play on it lol need it on PSX

  • oh yea bitches I just started to play this game on pc over epsxe omfg best game i ever played

  • Tell me if I'm wrong, but this was the first NFS game to introduce car customization. There were three packages, each package makes your car even faster. I wasn't like in underground were you have the option to individually customize the car.

  • HOLY FUCKING SHIT I REMEMBER THIS GAME NOW

    fun times

  • boss game this

  • aint this game also known as Road Challenge? that intro looks familiar

  • @Syderer Yeah. I had an original CD of this NFS, and the name was Road Challenge. I have no idea why the game had 2 different names. Maybe there were two names for Europe and US?

  • @FonDabt yes the european version is called Road Challenge and the american is High Stakes

  • Few days ago I found my PSX and put this game in it... It woke up some good memories :)

  • Budddaabawawaaawaaa

  • they never make games like this anymore!

  • Pre good trailer for 1999

  • theres a 2010 need for speed hot pursuit

  • I really hate the people who think that underground was the first need for speed. High stakes will ALWAYS be the best.

  • @AChOhAnO You can't forget Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit. I owned both and they were both just as fun. Way better than the new ones.

  • @CainmosniMirrored Yeah, I agree. Three was pretty awesome too =P

  • Could any one explain to me what hail happened to the car with EQX in the beginning of the race? and what the mean of it?

  • @theKINGofSKULL It means that exotic cars are awesome and rally cars should hit the boat home, 'cause this is NFS!

  • @Neicios HHHHHHH yep (NFS) That what you NEED FOR SPEED. Thanks bro ^_^

  • That ND 4 SPD plate is awesome :D

  • this is still the best out of the whole need for speed series

  • You know what's funny? At the beginning of the video the tuned car gets trashed, and the Posche wins. 4 years later: Cheap tuned asian cars.

  • @PS11833 guess fast and the furious was hyping at the time

  • @PS11833 i guess i was getting the joke at first but now that you think about it tuners are equal to exoctics for a full tuned tuner you could even spend 100k and you can even quote from fnf ug 2 i spend 400k on all my cars total they do 220 aint any different then exotics but styling idk how there CHEAP tuned

  • @PS11833 Modern times suck, nowadays a real man looks like J.Bieber, disgusting. But still good, powerfull factory cars beat those asian plastic cars.

  • @PS11833 its probably cuz its a honda =p

  • @PS11833 And that's all NEED FOR SPEED. I can't belive that they betrayed the concept we old school gamers know and love.

  • This was the first Need for Speed game I have ever played, now I'm playing the new Hot Pursuit man things have changed.

  • @bandbrain dude...same here..i love them both

  • lol my dad got me this game for christmas brand new from Miejer

  • DAMN YOU NEMESIS

  • what type of Porsche 911 is that?

  • @PhonixRMF Porsche 911 Turbo (993) :D

    

  • This video constantly appalls me at how even though this game was made back in like 2002, it is still my most played NFS game to date. And yes, its a Porsche 911 Turbo.

  • tune

  • the music makes the game fantastic

  • Wow i still can't believe i have this game.

  • Funny how NFS made fun of ricers here and within half a decade later they super glorify ricers!

  • Is the first can an Audi? It's been 6 years and I'm still stuck on that one.

  • @JoaoMario24 Honda Civic?

  • @AlKezer712 Thank you.

  • @JoaoMario24 im preety sure its a Porsche

  • @Raidenx89 911

  • @Raidenx89 The one next to it, the Honda Civic. But thanks anyway!

  • @murlon4818

    Ahah, No Problem I'll hook ya up my full tilt username is millonlic7462 =D

    And yes

    I found out on the Full Tilt official blog recently you can make an new account on the Full Tilt web page using the code SPECIALS you cannot have a full tilt account yet though, this is for for new players.I think it's the best way if you're a beginner to start playing.. They will double your initial deposit + a couple other nice perks!!!!!

  • shitty asian tunned car < any european machine

  • lol I actually thought this was the intro to underground because of that ricer car. Damn you EA for converting to the mainstream and their ricer shit.

  • The new NFS music sux! This was the best music - NFS High Stakes, Hot Pursuit (NFS3), NFS 5 (porsche)

  • Fuck Ricers!

  • atleast the new NFS hot pursuit looks like its kinda taking us back to these days

  • @strenght99 Yep! Good old days without shitty tuning have come back!
