The ps3 version runs at 60fps on rpcs3 it has such a clean and striking visual design and generally is just fun to play. The bonus is it doesnt outstay its welcome and is nice and short so I don't get burned out half way through like I do every arcade racer.

Anyone got a favourite speed for need?

Underground 2 will always be my favourite. Carbon is good, but the map is average compared to Underground 2 and Most Wanted 2005, which have incredible maps. Need For Speed Hot Pursuit 2010 is also great, a crossover between Need For Speed and Burnout done right (Most Wanted 2012 is an example of it done wrong). The remastered version runs at 4K 60fps on the latest consoles and looks great, obviously on PC it runs at whatever you want. Burnout 3 is another great game, also Burnout Paradise.

I'm currently playing Unbound, the story is trash (almost all characters speak like a gen alpha kid, incredible amounts of cringe), but gameplay is alright, you can choose between the black box need for speed style grip handling or burnout/Criterion style tap to drift handling. Thankfully you can turn off the cartoonish effects for your own car, not the opponent's cars though sadly. There is some absolutely bullshit map/level/track design with the checkpoints, you can't hit the apex of a corner of the checkpoint doesn't allow you to. Also barriers everywhere to catch you out. The music also sucks.
