The earliest I have to talk about is when I was in kindergarten. At that time, there was a big head computer equipped with Windows 95 at home. I forgot what brand it was. Hitman 47, Tomb Raider 3, Resident Evil 2 and the whole series of Need for Speed, today we only talk about Need for Speed. At that time, Need for Speed only came out to the sixth part, that is, Heat Pursuit 2, which has always been praised as the most classic by me. one. The earliest contact with Need for Speed should have been when I just learned to play Thunderbolt. At that time, games had to be run on CD-ROM, so my house colorfully stacked dozens of CD-ROMs, each with a label, and I would not use CD-ROM to install games Every day, I just flip through it. In the vast sea of discs, a silver CD attracts my attention every time. There is a sticker on it and the words written in a ballpoint pen: Need for Speed 5 Porsche Tour.
I told my dad that I want to play this, my dad smiled and said to me, who hasn't even gone to elementary school, "Have fun." Then, without even thinking about it, a 6-year-old turned a Porsche into a bumper car, and he still enjoyed it. My dad often drove me away from the computer desk and then ran two laps by himself, looking at the admiration in my eyes and complacent. Since then, I have come into contact with the sixth part, Heat Pursuit 2. This step in Need for Speed can be said to have blinded my dog's eyes. At that time, I was just in elementary school, and I had never heard of such a thing as an opening animation in the game. The Need for Speed 6 downloaded from the Internet also omits this flamboyant CG animation: a yellow Lamborghini and a silver Ferrari (the specific models are forgotten, my last memory of this CG is ten years ago), Police cars and helicopters, sirens, engine sounds mixed with heavy metal background music, instantly raised my understanding of games and racing to another level.
Later, I came into contact with various games, but the Need for Speed series can be said to be one of my favorite series. It runs through my childhood and has not stopped until now. When I really became a Need for Speed player, it was In the sixth grade of elementary school, when I came home from school, I heard the roar of the engine from the study, and then I heard my dad's call: Son! Look what I bought! I walked into the study with a sullen face, and then my dog's eyes were blinded again: a blue and white BMW M3 galloped on the mountain road with sparks, and my dad proudly said that this was the tenth Need for Speed Ministry: Life and Death Carbon Valley.
Yes, for my grandfather, Need for Speed is art. Later, I went to a classmate's house. He had a game console. I didn't study the game console, so I didn't know what model it was. He said that he likes to play Need for Speed the most. He took out the spare controller with a face like a leader, and connected the console to the TV. When the TV screen turned on, I laughed. He was playing Carbon Canyon. Even if the Shuangfeiyan keyboard was replaced with a controller, I was still The teenager who has driven countless Ford Mustangs, he can't beat me. Later, I grew up to be a keyboard car god who is even better than my dad. By the 17th part, I could already clear the level with one hand without pressure.
With the birth of the game Need for Speed 17 at the same time, it is the movie Need for Speed. Long before the premiere, I waited for this movie to blind my dad and me, and to bring back countless memories for both of us. There is no doubt that this movie did it. When the golden EA logo appeared on the screen, I knew that this movie was a perfect movie in my heart.
People who haven't played Need for Speed may feel that the content of the movie is empty. We know that the movie adaptation of the game is generally divided into two types: loyal to the original, like Prince of Persia, or greatly revised, like Resident Evil. And Need for Speed belongs to the former: an empty character frame, matched with a beautiful car, falling from the top to the bottom, and then climbing back to the top, this is the whole series of Need for Speed routines.
The movie starts, as I thought, with a unique tuning shop in a beautiful valley, followed by the first racing bridge section of the entire movie, four cars from 90 years ago, the protagonist drives a Ford Turin, with The first point of view opens. The beautiful woman waved the flag and looked from the driver's seat to the competing vehicle on the right. At this moment, the scene of the galloping afterimage in Need for Speed 8: Underground Rush was put into the player's mind. The noise of the engine was in the cinema. The effect is much more beautiful than the computer.
The roar started, and I became the test driver sitting in front of the computer to decide whether to grip the corner or tailgate the corner, Aaron Paul took my heart to the night, Toby won, He smiled and so did I.
Next, there is a scene of testing the car, which is the same as the setting of the Shift series, professional track, gripping the corners, all the way to the limit, we do this every day, but the excitement of moving to the screen is not a word What I can express is that the Ford Mustang GT equipped with the Shelby engine hit 370km/h all the way, and I could smell the burnt tires through the screen.
In the next scene, I'm back in Need for Speed: Life and Death Carbon Valley. The protagonist and his sidekicks, the brothers fight side by side. Then he lost his siblings, was imprisoned, and the protagonist prepared for the ultimate revenge. This is the rhythm of Need for Speed: Most Wanted.
Then the Need for Speed: Heat Pursuit feeling came, the police chased our protagonist like flies attracted by broth, and after he completed a two-lane leap with his Mustang sprinting to the lawn, I almost followed the vibration of the body. jump up.
Then it transitioned to Need for Speed: The End of the World, the same setting, a Mustang crossed the United States, I followed Toby Marshall from New York to California, no cutscenes, no screen freezes, no level loading, everything was for Soaring to the adrenaline overflowing from the Tianling cover, the fast spinning flywheel, the white smoke pulled up by the tires, the symphony played by the V8 supercharged engine, accompanied by the monologue of Michael Keaton, everything is back to the road movie era, I seem to see I've seen Police Net Iron King Kong, Escape, Speed 60 Seconds and Knight Rider, the driver's dream car, and the me who was sitting in front of the computer and pressing the shift and control keys to shift in and out.
With the advent of the war, the world-shattering beauty withdrew from the movie screen. Since the release of this movie, this Mustang has become the goddess of car fans all over the world, and in the end I don't know which rich owner bought it, alas.
At the end of the last race, Toby strolled to victory, got out of the car and looked at the white lighthouse and the blue sky, as if I often stopped the car and took a screenshot, and the song of Linkin Park rang. , everything ends with Need for Speed 6: Hot Pursuit 2, all my memories emerge, and I have endless dreams in an instant. Thanks to Electronic Arts, it reminds me of the time from childhood to adulthood, when there was no League of Legends , I'm just a kid on the Côte d'Azur driving a lotus and an Opel enjoying the scenery.
This movie is very realistic, which is also one of the selling points of the movie. All the scenes in the whole movie are shot with props instead of CG pictures. For car fans, this movie is very attractive. Compared with the Fast and Furious series, there is no need for that. These two movies do not belong to the same genre. If you want to see explosions, airborne, and exciting scenes stacked with CG special effects, then Need for Speed is really not worth watching for you. But if you're looking for an authentic road movie, and a story of a one-of-a-kind car and a one-of-a-kind driver teaming up for a dream, let the Fast and the Furious series take a break. Need for Speed never tires.
To sum up the difference between these two movies in one sentence, the protagonist of Fast and Furious is Vin Diesel, and the protagonist of Need for Speed is the Ford Mustang.
Last but not least, I would like to thank EA. After writing this 2,300-word article, I have tears in my eyes. In the end, I regret that I did not pursue my dream.
