Need for Speed Heat

Developer: Ghost Games
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Platform: Windows
Released internationally: November 8, 2019

Need for Speed Heat is the mixture of a Miami-inspired setting and car culture complete with no microtransactions and randomized cards, all with a progression system similar to the Underground and Most Wanted-era games. This would result in a game that is surprisingly decent in comparison to the last entry. Unfortunately, the success of this game would leave Ghost Games to be dissolved in early 2020, with Criterion Games assigned to the series' next entry - only for them to be sent working for a future Battlefield game instead...

Hmmm...
To do:
  • Clean up, add offsets/nearby hex values/exact strings.
  • Unused clothes

Payback data leftover

Data for previous NFS games are still present in the files, as are unlock textures for the cars, a few cars from Payback, and two derelicts cars (Chevrolet Bel Air and VW Beetle),...

Early cars unlock icon

These cars are originally unlocked at beginning.
