The original Need for Speed Underground games truly felt street-level and underground, all the way down to the radio’s playlist. That is absolutely why, if this new game is somehow related to Underground, it should not just be a reused name or a remaster-it has to do now what the original Underground. Hot Pursuit even got remastered, but again, it failed to capture lightning in a bottle a second time. Most Wanted had a reboot of sorts in 2012, but it failed to capture the excitement of street racing and personal investment in a story as the original 2005 launch did. Need for Speed had several beloved classic titles that it has tried to bring back in the past decade or so.

That’s NOT to say there aren’t popular or good racing games today, but they seem less frequent and competitive compared to older games. It used to be that there were a plethora of high-quality racing games, such as Midnight Club and many of the classic Need for Speed games, but they’ve died down quite a bit. That’s not to say that this year’s supposed Need for Speed game should be an Underground 1 or 2 Remake, but delivering on a new Underground title would be a nostalgic sell.
