theres another thing about old street racing games is that they got the setting right in ways that modern games cant in the sense that the games didnt beat around the bush to make you feel like a criminal
what you are doing is illegal, you buy cars and parts from a black market, you outrun the police and hide in dark alleys and predestian cars are nothing but a hindrance to you
there was no honor in it but the sense of victory
i was playing NFS Unbound the other day and the story was such a gay mess it almost feels like a Disney channel special
>WOAH DUDE WE STREET RACERS ARE A OPRESSED KIND
>WE ARE ARTIST WHO CANT EXPRESS OURSELVES DUE TO THOSE FASCIST POLICE OFFICERS
>BEING ABLE TO GO 200MPH IN A SCHOOLZONE IS MY WAY OF EXPRESSION BRO
>WE HAVE TO LIBERATE THIS CITY FROM THE FASCIST POLICE SO WE CAN FREELY ENDANGER PEOPLE AND CAUSE MILLIONS IN PROPERTY DAMAGE
it was quite literally the most tone deaf videogame i ever played.
