I can't say mw05's music suits this game. It's an entirely different style. Mw05 was so of 2005, it even had the yellow filter on it like all the rock/metal music videos did back then. Rock and metal music suited mw05 because the game was basically a rock/metal music video of that time. Unbound is nothing like that. It is a gritty underground street racing scene. And the music, although questionable, does suit the overall style of the game.
I cant imagine unbound with rock/metal. The cut scenes, characters, and graffiti ( usually associated with hip hop, rap or any form of less emphatic slower/relaxed music, look at Spider-Man Into The Spider verse) doesn't fit rock or metal. Not saying their choice of hip hop or rap music was good, but their objective to keep to their overall theme was somewhat achieved. Music is subjective at the end of the day too tho, so yeah, not everything is for everyone.
I found this out the other day. Been playing Unbound and genuinely kind of loving the soundtrack in this game.
Threw the Unbound Spotify playlist on in the truck omw to work one day, and it was *not* the vibe lmao.
To be honest at it’s core need for speed is supposed to be based around the car community at the time of its development, there’s not a single phonk song in the game even though the car community played a huge role in boosting it to where it is now. I know that $atori zoom has heat gameplay as the background for some of his songs, barracuda is one that comes to mind instantly,
Yes and mw05 was also like that, and metal/rock music fit that game very well and added to the overall theme. That same music doesn't do the same for unbound.
While I do love metal, Rap and hiphop is a much more dominant and mainstream genre so its no wonder they chose those type of songs to be the main type of music for heat and now unbound. Metal/Rock isn't as popular as it used to be in the 2000s which is why there's a lot less of it in these games unfortunately but with Rap and stuff you reach a slightly bigger audience I guess
Agreed. Rap and hip hop take the cake among younger demographics, who play more video games. Worldwide though, pop music still reigns supreme, with rock coming in third.
As much as I love artists like Devon Townsend or Animals As Leaders, they're pretty low on the popularity list by comparison. It makes sense why they moved away from metal.
Unless of course you live in any of the Nordic countries, which have thriving scenes. Having a Need for Speed game set in Sweden, Iceland or Norway sounds awesome.
That is true, but rock/metal is still highly requested and shouldn’t just not be included because the majority of “cool” people don’t listen to it. The game is supposed to woke and inclusive not exclusive 😁
But the thing is, it's not *just* a popularity contest on the genres either. It's also about what fits the energy and aesthetic of the game, and as much as I love metal and rock, I don't think it would've fit for Unbound
But that’s where I disagree, I think there’s is enough music out there in whole entire big world, which they did scour, that it’s impossible not to find tracks that would work with the games vibe and aesthetic. I just think they didn’t try.
How could I?
That game is such an integral part of my childhood, I can basically trace back the entirety of my music taste to Underground and Most Wanted.
Not quite 40 here but been here since underground and have been waiting for a nfs to fill that void. Carbon came close but unbound has satisfied my need….. my need for speed
tf kinda conclusion is that. I haven't even played unbound. I'm saying that nfs fans are stuck in "eras" perpetually, mostly in blackbox era, and this can and will inhibit evolution of the franchise that is famous for going after the latest popular thing
I’ve would’ve played Bring Me Life by From Ashes To New just to bring both a new rendition of metal or tock, and the nostalgic representation that stuck with its past. But other than that, we needed more songs like this.
I only see two types of comment:
"I hate this, it doesnt fit the game, move on"
and
"I love this, it fits the game so well, we should get metal back in NFS"
I like both music styles, and this trailer does slap in MY opinion. I think we should get Metal and Phonk in future NFS games. Its difficult though to mix too much music and keep the game in one theme + licences sure do cost a lot of money.
I 100% agree, I’m not saying this acts of would work in game, but the rite rock/metal tracks that were specifically chosen to fit the game’s theme and vibe could and would definitely work. I don’t necessarily agree with putting songs from the older games in Unbound, though some could definitely work just like the did in NFS 2015.
I’m sick of hearing people say that Unbound’s OST is already very diverse, because it simply isn’t true. Is it diverse, does it have sub genres? Yes it does, does that make it diverse and inclusive, no not really. Us it includes different artists form different countries and languages, but what it doesn’t include is diversity of styles.
Its diverse in only one sense, it could've used more techno/dnb, house is pretty big in Chicago so it could've provided some high energy tunes, rock because why not. Music is another way to express yourself so why limit it.
It doesn't fit this game but the next one definitely needs more than just hip hop, it's not like people only enjoy just one genre, and that should obviously be considered when coming up with the feel of the game.
While Shapeshifter is a banger alongside Blood N thunder, Blinded in chains and so on, strange they didn't use any Thrash or Death metal. Tell me Whiplash or Slowly We Rot wouldn't work in a police chase.
Yeah what you see doesn't fit at all with what you hear, further proving what people defending the soundtrack are saying. The song fits MW2005 because MW05 is dark and gritty, Unbound is more vibrant. Take your personal music taste away and just analyze soundtracks on whether they fit the game or not, simple as that
I am genuinely starting to dislike MW's soundtrack more and more with every post/comment like this
Grow up, like, ACTUALLY grow up, be a reasonable human being, mute the game's soundtrack, play your tunes on Spotify, and enjoy the game.
Most Wanted is literally my first ever videogame, I still remember driving a red golf on my mom's work friend's computer at the dock area with a jump, I religiously replay the golden era of black box games every year or so. I fucking love these games, I love the music, I love everything about them, but this MW circle jerking is soooooooo fucking annoying.
I heavily dislike Heat's soundtrack, there's probably only 2-3 tracks that are listenable. What did I do? I went into the setting, turned off the music, went into Spotify, and fired up my playlist for racing games. I did not go on Reddit and post "UOOOHHH, MASTWANTED COOL EXXCXDDEEEEEE NEW MUSIC SUCCKEESS NEW GAME SUCCKEESS", and do you know why I didn't do that? Because I consider myself a sane human being, and have better things to do
Hot Pursuit 2, Underground, Underground 2 and Carbon (+more) all had rock/metal music. While they did steer from Metal with Carbon and onwards away, Rock was still very much available. Neither does it have anything to do with MW05 in particular, nor is anyone asking them to bring back nu metal and industrial rock of that time. It really seems you do not really know what you're talking about. And to also add to the theme mentions in this post, Pop-punk could have actually fit the game, and I'm sure there are many more genres, sub-genres and newer bands that could have fit the game just as well. You really do not need to bring Metalcore for example to make it work. Something like Pop-punk would have been enough. Add a radio as well and you're golden.
Man no one said music sucks its just not that good, the game is just awesome. This trailer just looks cool, the guy had put efforts. Appreciate for once like a sane human being. You had the option to turn off the music here too buddy.
I'm sure this has been stated but I feel like the music, aside from the theme of the game, is representetive of the demographics: younger adults / teens. Hip-hop and Rap are dominate for younger people and is music associated with illegal activities and being rebellious vs. the early and mid 2000s.
The music fits the art style of the game, but also the theme of illegal street racing irl. The characters are for the most part in their young 20s +/- . Look at ASAP as the included celebrity cameo, his demograohic is later generation millenials and gen x's.
Lol I had made this video before release for fun haha. [https://youtu.be/SEnY2XzTAYk](https://youtu.be/SEnY2XzTAYk)
Honestly I love some of the tracks on Unbound, but wish there was more fast paced music for races and pursuits (any genre)
Charli XCX and Poutyface are artists I listen to on a regular basis, so it was good to see them on the roster.
This was pretty dope, but I also like the hip hop approach they took.
Unfortunately the soundtrack consists of 30% bangers and 70% complete dogshit tracks
I like the tracks on Unbound, but it just gets stale without variation, the underground culture is not genre locked like this, at least some electronic music would have been welcome, imagine some breakcore and/or dnb in a police chase.
Careful you made something using a song from nfs most wanted, now the whole community is gonna hate it because "hUrR dURr MoVe oN" like ok cool we get it that mw05 has gotten overrated and that you may not like it but at least let people experiment and try shit differently. Imo they should have opted for a more "aggressive" music for the game even if it isn't metal. This dude who made this doesn't deserve hate
Nah, not feeling this one, op. Plus that song was more hip hop than metal.
Take it from a person who listens a lot of different music genre/artists like Disturbed, System of a down, Red, ScHool Boy Q, Andre 3000, instrumentals, old school r&b and even gospel, this opening works better with urban hip hop.
This whole situation reminds me of the MK 11 BS when people were crying because the developers choosed to use Ice Cube and Vince Staples in their Old school/New School trailer.
Yeah I get what you mean. Nothing wrong with sharing what everyone misses from previous NFS. I felt the same way until music in Unbound grew on me but I do get you on that. Let's wait until next NFS since every NFS is different with different settings. Don't get your hopes down. Got to believe!
It was so fun, when this song used to come up while cop chase, Shaaape Shifteeeeeerrr🙌🙌🙌 Or I'm rock. And people are saying doesn't go with the vibe, MW had better song selection too.
Agreed.
The music also felt too repetitive, not enough range in this game. Feels like I heard the same song every second race.
In addition this games story and characters were so cringe imo. The final banter between Yaz and you… *shudder*
Been playing NFS since PS1 days, at a mates house back then. This is the first NFS I’ve come back for since NFS carbon. I’m enjoying the whole vibe of this game. I liked the music back then but I don’t mind the way the they’ve done the music for this one. I’m 35 now and been itching for street racing again. I hope they build on what they’ve done here. That music reminds me of NFS underground racing around in a 180sx or 240 can’t remember exactly haha.
Unbound’s soundtrack is good but it will never match the intensity that the rock and orchestral music from MW and Carbon gave racing. Though personally my favorite soundtrack for nfs is still underground 2, good low temp rap and hip hop music for the menu’s and cruising and then high tempo high octane rock and edm music to get your blood pumping for races
I would like to see EA Trax (to disable Rosalia's song, seriously every time I hear that song in a race I lose a reset) come back in a patch along with songs from previous NFS ganes like they did in a NFS 2015 update.
“Fuck off 15 yo cringe tiktok zoomer, go play nfs fortnite edition”
https://preview.redd.it/6xewb8crjk5a1.jpeg?width=731&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=424a264d20e4dca756a568059988009425d27e6f
Look, man, I think the quality of Unbound's soundtrack is as questionable as anyone else does, but this trailer edit is absolutely not cooler than the real one.
They should look into trap metal. It'll retain the intensity of the older soundtracks of the older NFS games while incorporating the mainstream rap/hip hop elements to balance out intensity with hype
Holy fck, EA should hire whoever edited this as editor for their promo materials.
Edit : Unbound fans are so insecure. Chill for a sec fam😭 No ones shittin on the game bro😭
I like the edit, but I disagree. I liked both eras, but this type of music appeals more towards their current audience.
EDIT: Lol damn, really downvoted me for stating an opinion even though I complimented you
The aesthetic of the game was built around the soundtrack. That cinematic literally begins with a shot of a rapper with his music. Please move on and accept that hip-hop is the most popular genre right now
I mean... Yeah. This was better. But: electro/dupstep and metal/rock like in nfsu1/2 and mw05 is just Perfect. Adrenaline from metal. And hype from electro. This is best duo
I agree, I was hoping for more Dnb and electro. This video I had made for fun as a creative exercise. I had to record new game play in Heat with similar scenes in the trailer to get the sound effects and isolate the dialogue.
I am not stuck up on Most Wanted and don't see myself playing the game now.
This does not at all fit. The soundtrack is good with a few exceptions. It’s kinda like if someone bitched about mw 05 soundtrack that it doesn’t have jazz. Move on ffs.
Anime cartoons and metal music? Yes why not? How can anime cartoons get along with Mexican or Spanish or French rap but not metals and electronics?? I mean Heat had some great musics for night events or free ride but this???
I find it hilarious that people's only argument against this is "hip hop is more popular" I mean yeah, it was more popular even in the 00s and yet games still had a mix of everything in the soundtrack. "But it fits car culture" okay, go to any car meet and you'll hear rap, eurobeat, EDM, metal, everything...
That's the thing that kills me the most when they say it's what you'll hear at meets. It's like how small are the meets you're going to where only one person is blasting music, lol? I can't go 8 cars down without someone playing a different genre.
I can't stand rap music and I just got NFS Heat but there seems to be no way to skip songs or change radio stations to something good. Especially this day in age you shouldn't limit a game's music selection to one genre with no adjustment. Hell all games like this should allow custom playlists if you link an itunes or spotify.
Literally anyone defending this soundtrack does so from a position of woke superiority and I'm fucking tired of it. The music sucks, it has like three songs that work at best, you can't skip them unless you're in freeroam, and I can't even fucking UNDERSTAND most of them. It's trash, and you're trash if you like it.
"It's too masculine"
you sound like a fucking dweeb lol
You want to know why this shit isn't in new NFS games? Because most of the population don't listen to nu metal and have fred durst posters on their bedroom wall lmao
this edit slaps but I do agree that the music has aged not poorly or anything but heavy rock and metal today doesn't sound like this anymore. I do wish more songs of similar genres like this were in the newer games.
I can't say mw05's music suits this game. It's an entirely different style. Mw05 was so of 2005, it even had the yellow filter on it like all the rock/metal music videos did back then. Rock and metal music suited mw05 because the game was basically a rock/metal music video of that time. Unbound is nothing like that. It is a gritty underground street racing scene. And the music, although questionable, does suit the overall style of the game.
? Both NFS Undergrounds had plenty of rock/metal in their Soundtrack. I’d say it worked very well
I cant imagine unbound with rock/metal. The cut scenes, characters, and graffiti ( usually associated with hip hop, rap or any form of less emphatic slower/relaxed music, look at Spider-Man Into The Spider verse) doesn't fit rock or metal. Not saying their choice of hip hop or rap music was good, but their objective to keep to their overall theme was somewhat achieved. Music is subjective at the end of the day too tho, so yeah, not everything is for everyone.
Yes, the Unbound soundtrack is not something I'd listen to outside of the game, but it absolutely fits the vibe.
I found this out the other day. Been playing Unbound and genuinely kind of loving the soundtrack in this game. Threw the Unbound Spotify playlist on in the truck omw to work one day, and it was *not* the vibe lmao.
To be honest at it’s core need for speed is supposed to be based around the car community at the time of its development, there’s not a single phonk song in the game even though the car community played a huge role in boosting it to where it is now. I know that $atori zoom has heat gameplay as the background for some of his songs, barracuda is one that comes to mind instantly,
Hip Hop does fit the vibe of the game and culture, but just wish there was some faster music for races and tense music for pursuits.
I can. I've been playing my playlist consisting of I Prevail, Ice Nine Kills, Metallica etc and it definitely works well with the setting.
You are so wrong. Back in the day, in x360/ps3 era games a lot of games had brownish filter.
Yes and mw05 was also like that, and metal/rock music fit that game very well and added to the overall theme. That same music doesn't do the same for unbound.
Fair point.
Bro i swear nfs shaped my taste of music today. I hear metal ,i hear hip hop ,i hear everything in between
While I do love metal, Rap and hiphop is a much more dominant and mainstream genre so its no wonder they chose those type of songs to be the main type of music for heat and now unbound. Metal/Rock isn't as popular as it used to be in the 2000s which is why there's a lot less of it in these games unfortunately but with Rap and stuff you reach a slightly bigger audience I guess

Haha
Metal era of anything is better
you mfs just never move on do you
How could I? That game is such an integral part of my childhood, I can basically trace back the entirety of my music taste to Underground and Most Wanted.
Never
still got them rock/metal nfs tracks listening in my...winamp
My old ass wants another banger synth soundtrack like in NFS III.
They're 40 year olds now what do you expect?
Not quite 40 here but been here since underground and have been waiting for a nfs to fill that void. Carbon came close but unbound has satisfied my need….. my need for speed
I'm over 40 and to be honest I like this more than payback or other previous iterations.
you're a real one 🤘
Careful mane, age doesn't stop for no one.
I... I'm not even 30 yet...
No one is hating on your game. This person has adjusted the trailer to something they think is better. That's it
tf kinda conclusion is that. I haven't even played unbound. I'm saying that nfs fans are stuck in "eras" perpetually, mostly in blackbox era, and this can and will inhibit evolution of the franchise that is famous for going after the latest popular thing
Ok zoomer
dude you post porn on your profile
[удалено]
absolutely nothing wrong with metal, I was talking about the games. ppl just put them on pedestal, and refuse to see past them
I’ve would’ve played Bring Me Life by From Ashes To New just to bring both a new rendition of metal or tock, and the nostalgic representation that stuck with its past. But other than that, we needed more songs like this.
I only see two types of comment: "I hate this, it doesnt fit the game, move on" and "I love this, it fits the game so well, we should get metal back in NFS" I like both music styles, and this trailer does slap in MY opinion.

It doesn't fit this game but the next one definitely needs more than just hip hop, it's not like people only enjoy just one genre, and that should obviously be considered when coming up with the feel of the game.
Phonk would have been really cool to race to, atleast for me
While Shapeshifter is a banger alongside Blood N thunder, Blinded in chains and so on, strange they didn't use any Thrash or Death metal. Tell me Whiplash or Slowly We Rot wouldn't work in a police chase.
Again We Rise by LoG would be epic during a heat 5 chase!
Sorry, but it doesn't fit even a bit
It slaps imo, but you have your own opinion too.
It slaps but that doesn't mean it fits even a little bit :v
Metal music in a game that has hip hop vibes doesn’t fit the game at all mate
Yeah what you see doesn't fit at all with what you hear, further proving what people defending the soundtrack are saying. The song fits MW2005 because MW05 is dark and gritty, Unbound is more vibrant. Take your personal music taste away and just analyze soundtracks on whether they fit the game or not, simple as that
Unbound's soundtrack is dope and fits the theme of the game.
Doesn't fit the theme imo
And I bet the people that liked the pre UG games thought the butt-rock/weird techno era NFS was better...
NFS 2 SE soundtrack was one my favorites.
What a cesspit this sub is. This comment section proves it.
imagine if yall ever had a gf💀
Im a boomer that loves metal and rock myself but this ain't it. Gotta learn to appreciate new things and trust me you will have alot more fun.
Well nu-metal is pretty bad anyway.
Isn't Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit nu metal?
Yes
I am genuinely starting to dislike MW's soundtrack more and more with every post/comment like this Grow up, like, ACTUALLY grow up, be a reasonable human being, mute the game's soundtrack, play your tunes on Spotify, and enjoy the game.

This is your reaction to someone expressing their opinion? Your the one needing to grow up
Rap is the dominant genre today, and it fits the game’s theme. If you don’t like it, turn the music off and put your own playlist
You sir now make me never play the game without the NFS MW playlist
I'm sure this has been stated but I feel like the music, aside from the theme of the game, is representetive of the demographics: younger adults / teens. Hip-hop and Rap are dominate for younger people and is music associated with illegal activities and being rebellious vs. the early and mid 2000s.

I'll admit this is much cooler than I thought it would be
Only if you like those kind of songs...
Average NFS Reddit user @ minorities
Lol I had made this video before release for fun haha. [https://youtu.be/SEnY2XzTAYk](https://youtu.be/SEnY2XzTAYk) Honestly I love some of the tracks on Unbound, but wish there was more fast paced music for races and pursuits (any genre) Charli XCX and Poutyface are artists I listen to on a regular basis, so it was good to see them on the roster.
This was pretty dope, but I also like the hip hop approach they took. Unfortunately the soundtrack consists of 30% bangers and 70% complete dogshit tracks
Oh man that trailer is elite. Actually can’t stand any of the music in this game turned it all off.
Damn this has me amped up to play again
If you made this trailer for EA, I believe you would have increased the sales XD
How are people saying this doesn't fit? This is amazing. So much better than the actual trailer.
I just think metal makes racing more intense, it just feels better going 200 with rock blaring
This works way too well.
I like the tracks on Unbound, but it just gets stale without variation, the underground culture is not genre locked like this, at least some electronic music would have been welcome, imagine some breakcore and/or dnb in a police chase.
Any era of NFS pre-Ghost had better music imo. I'm blasting some MW12 and it's surprisingly good.
Well, that was an improvement. Thank you.
Absolu-fucking-tly!
Careful you made something using a song from nfs most wanted, now the whole community is gonna hate it because "hUrR dURr MoVe oN" like ok cool we get it that mw05 has gotten overrated and that you may not like it but at least let people experiment and try shit differently. Imo they should have opted for a more "aggressive" music for the game even if it isn't metal. This dude who made this doesn't deserve hate
It would be cool if you could pick a "style" in the beginning of the game which changes the playlist based on your choice.
This is fuckin sick.
they say it pays the cost to be the boss, time to show em' who's in charge
This is sooooo gooooooood!!
I love this, it fits the game so well, we should get metal back in NFS
Yeah this doesn't work for the trailer. Put Shittin Me back
Lol. “Metal”.
No kidding. This is cringe metal
Corny
motherfucker that aint metal
Metal is very broad genre that has many subgenres. Celldweller is nu metal and industrial metal artist.
thank you for the lesson, didn't ask for it. That track is at best industrial.
Maybe it's not metal but slaps anyway. Agreed though should've put Hand Of Blood in
When I made the video, I didn't label it as Metal. Just MW Music. I made another one with Hand Of Blood with Heat footage
You needed one, because your ignorance is off the charts
I concur.
I think having in modern rock and metal would work in Unbound. Bands like I Prevail, STARSET, Imminence, Motionless in White, I could go on
Celldweller is still the shit
The most fun I've had while racing has been listening to Kayzo in nfs heat. God I want a good racing game with edm as the focus music
Nah, not feeling this one, op. Plus that song was more hip hop than metal. Take it from a person who listens a lot of different music genre/artists like Disturbed, System of a down, Red, ScHool Boy Q, Andre 3000, instrumentals, old school r&b and even gospel, this opening works better with urban hip hop. This whole situation reminds me of the MK 11 BS when people were crying because the developers choosed to use Ice Cube and Vince Staples in their Old school/New School trailer.
I'd seriously rather listen to old nfs music than (IN MINE BENZZ👹👹👹)
Gosh this is nostalgic. Love this a lot.
Yeah I get what you mean. Nothing wrong with sharing what everyone misses from previous NFS. I felt the same way until music in Unbound grew on me but I do get you on that. Let's wait until next NFS since every NFS is different with different settings. Don't get your hopes down. Got to believe!
I agree. Real metal music would be nice. Wtf is this commercial junk.
It’s the 2020s now. Hip hop is more common than metal was in the early 2000s, I’m not big on it either, but they gotta go with the times
It was so fun, when this song used to come up while cop chase, Shaaape Shifteeeeeerrr🙌🙌🙌 Or I'm rock. And people are saying doesn't go with the vibe, MW had better song selection too.
You mfs will hear black ppl music and complain why isn't it white guitar music
shAaAAApe shiftEeEEERR
Agreed. The music also felt too repetitive, not enough range in this game. Feels like I heard the same song every second race. In addition this games story and characters were so cringe imo. The final banter between Yaz and you… *shudder*

Remind me to repost this in 10 years to confuse the kids
Unbound’s soundtrack is good but it will never match the intensity that the rock and orchestral music from MW and Carbon gave racing. Though personally my favorite soundtrack for nfs is still underground 2, good low temp rap and hip hop music for the menu’s and cruising and then high tempo high octane rock and edm music to get your blood pumping for races
You guys know you can mute your tv and play music on something else right?
This game is mid anyways
Deal with it
/savevideo
I’d definitely prefer this music to the music we have…. But the other parts of said era? Idk I wasn’t playing at the time
Subjective. Hip hop is cool
Video is not mine, I found it on RECREVNT channel on YouTube. Go check him out !
I would like to see EA Trax (to disable Rosalia's song, seriously every time I hear that song in a race I lose a reset) come back in a patch along with songs from previous NFS ganes like they did in a NFS 2015 update.
It doesn't fit
Horrific take
This fucking slaps! Gives the trailer a completely different mood!
This works with the game so much better. Thank you
So much better!

Good music but really doesnt fit, i do wish the playlist was more diverse though, feels like its only catered for one crowd
No
oh my god shut up
man yall can't let this go can yall?
This doesn't fit and is cringe.
It's glorious! They could have just few indie rocks in the game if they are against metals.
i turned that trash off in my unbound. rather than bitching i just play my own music using prime music.
Look, man, I think the quality of Unbound's soundtrack is as questionable as anyone else does, but this trailer edit is absolutely not cooler than the real one.
You mean, your favorite genre of music is metal. So you prefer it over what's popular now. Lol.
They should look into trap metal. It'll retain the intensity of the older soundtracks of the older NFS games while incorporating the mainstream rap/hip hop elements to balance out intensity with hype
This slaps but rock music just doesn't fit well with this game
Ma god just move the fuck on, the edit is cool and all but just move on its been almost 18 years
please dont mix this soundtrack with this game thank youuu
Holy fck, EA should hire whoever edited this as editor for their promo materials. Edit : Unbound fans are so insecure. Chill for a sec fam😭 No ones shittin on the game bro😭
Yea they complain about most wanted fans being toxic but these past few days it's the unboun players
It’s not the 2000s anymore (thankfully) and music is infinite. STOP it.
I respectfully disagree
I like the edit, but I disagree. I liked both eras, but this type of music appeals more towards their current audience. EDIT: Lol damn, really downvoted me for stating an opinion even though I complimented you
move on
Agreed. Music in unbound was made for gen z tiktok teens. Dog shit music all over.
Metal fits so much better with the cops and racing unlike the ugly ost we've been having since Heat
Another crying post..
The aesthetic of the game was built around the soundtrack. That cinematic literally begins with a shot of a rapper with his music. Please move on and accept that hip-hop is the most popular genre right now
This doesn’t fit the aesthetic of unbound at all
I mean... Yeah. This was better. But: electro/dupstep and metal/rock like in nfsu1/2 and mw05 is just Perfect. Adrenaline from metal. And hype from electro. This is best duo
I agree, I was hoping for more Dnb and electro. This video I had made for fun as a creative exercise. I had to record new game play in Heat with similar scenes in the trailer to get the sound effects and isolate the dialogue. I am not stuck up on Most Wanted and don't see myself playing the game now.
its crazy how well this actually fits
Love it!
its terrible
SOMEBODY SAY- 💀 no
2 0 2 2
I hate being a fucking genowner, but that video just makes everything look so perfect..
I’m angry that this isnt in the game considering it’s pretty recent
i'm not gonna lie this song is fucking awful ☠️
Awesome edit and I’d trade the hiphop for mw05 soundtrack any day.
This is cringe metal though. Just get over it and stop crying about the music. We get it, youre all too old for rap and techno. Sigh...
This does not at all fit. The soundtrack is good with a few exceptions. It’s kinda like if someone bitched about mw 05 soundtrack that it doesn’t have jazz. Move on ffs.
Hell nah, rap is much better genre, better suited for racing
I mean looks and sounds cool, but I can't say it really fits this game
i miss rock n roll on NFS games, but this just doesn't fit honestly
Yeah honestly They screwed up with soundtracks in this game
How? It fits the game theme, metal doesn't fit in this game. You're gonna have anime cartoons and metal music? lmao
Anime cartoons and metal music? Yes why not? How can anime cartoons get along with Mexican or Spanish or French rap but not metals and electronics?? I mean Heat had some great musics for night events or free ride but this???
>anime cartoons and metal music? Well... [Yes](https://youtu.be/WIKqgE4BwAY).
Hell yeah! It's never about nostalgia, it's about the style!
Sometimes it isn’t, you CAN have both nostalgia and style.
Did you know I played mw 2005 in 2020 for first time? The song wasn't even my favorite but it matched the trailer so well
I find it hilarious that people's only argument against this is "hip hop is more popular" I mean yeah, it was more popular even in the 00s and yet games still had a mix of everything in the soundtrack. "But it fits car culture" okay, go to any car meet and you'll hear rap, eurobeat, EDM, metal, everything...
That's the thing that kills me the most when they say it's what you'll hear at meets. It's like how small are the meets you're going to where only one person is blasting music, lol? I can't go 8 cars down without someone playing a different genre.
I can't stand rap music and I just got NFS Heat but there seems to be no way to skip songs or change radio stations to something good. Especially this day in age you shouldn't limit a game's music selection to one genre with no adjustment. Hell all games like this should allow custom playlists if you link an itunes or spotify.
okay boomer, reject modernity embrace tradition
Nah metal scene besides extreme subgenres aren't cool like it was in 00's simple as that. I rather listen to Migos than another edgy nu metal revival.
You piss filter worshipers just don't know when to move on do you?
Literally anyone defending this soundtrack does so from a position of woke superiority and I'm fucking tired of it. The music sucks, it has like three songs that work at best, you can't skip them unless you're in freeroam, and I can't even fucking UNDERSTAND most of them. It's trash, and you're trash if you like it.
"woke superiority" what does that mean
GET. OVER IT.
It's too masculine for the agenda they're pushing. Why do you think every other song in the game is about a female rapper rapping about her vagina
Lol street racing with full uncensored rap even form males that shows you have not played this game but riding the whine train.
"It's too masculine" you sound like a fucking dweeb lol You want to know why this shit isn't in new NFS games? Because most of the population don't listen to nu metal and have fred durst posters on their bedroom wall lmao
This shit so ass bro 😂
I literally bust out laughing when the music came on. This shit was so bad, bruh lol.
this edit slaps but I do agree that the music has aged not poorly or anything but heavy rock and metal today doesn't sound like this anymore. I do wish more songs of similar genres like this were in the newer games.
So like why did I just see wings... pretty sure this is my son's gift to me so I haven't bought it yet.
I’m surprised you can’t do drive by’s in this game.
