..::READ THE DESCRIPTION::..

Since the Electronic Arts has decided to shut down the servers of some of online games in their hold, including "Need For Speed World", I've decided to make a short film from this title. But before I explain, what it is about, let me present my insights first.

When I first heard about the official closure of "Need For Speed World" servers, in July 14th, I was a little bit shocked. World was one of small number of multiplayer titles I was gotten into for real, which I played when the time was proper for. Why? Because:
1. It was the next racing game from the franchise, I've spent a lot of time with, from the very beginning of its existence (it plays a big part of my childhood / the whole series was also one of my first introductions to the racing games, besides Lotus for Amiga);
2. It had a totally different concept from any racing games at its actual time and from any game in the series as well;
3. It was available to download for free;
4. It had the possibility to communicate with the other fans of the series, as well as racing games in general.
The game meant to me a lot in another aspect. While my colleagues were playing many MMORPG titles (and I don't like RPGs to be honest), "Need For Speed World" was a great chance to find myself into Online Gaming, even though I still love the single player perspective the most. Many races driven, lots of possibilities to drive the cars, big open world, multiple various cars, sometimes cool people to talk and race with (even though there were numbnuts too). Nowadays, these are all the memories...

Whereas EA always had complicated politics with their titles, that probably won't be still understood, I won't be arguing with the decision about closure; it will make neither sense, nor the change whatsoever. I don't hide myself from the suprise, shock, either the anger. The decreasing popularity of this title, as well, as many others, isn't an explanation for me, though we all know, that the reason is money. To this day, World has a large, worldwide community, so what is this all about? Cheaters, masses of unused accounts or maybe stupid game politics (including "play for free"/"pay to win" model), which was unfair for the longtime players? I suspect, there may be many reasons but none of them might even have its confirmation at all. What a shame that the development of the game is being discontinued now. Anyway, it's time to accept it, since today, the official closure has happened.

What is this film about then?
This film presents the driving with three most favourite and most used cars of mine, on three different, prefered competitions. Below is the list:
1. Volkswagen Scirocco - Circuit
2. Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro - Sprint
3. Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 - Pursuit Outrun
I wanted to make a video, which will become a kind of "memento" - a reminder of the time and the fun I had with this game. It consists of partially machinima, if you look at the introduction I prepared, and the gameplay, as the rest. In my opinion, it turns out to be a good "Last World Journey".

I hope, you'll like my film.
Have Fun and Enjoy!

PS: If you were interested, what was the inspiration for creating the introduction, it was the intro from 1998 "Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit".
