In those old days I used to live without Internet, and never thought that something like custom made mods even exists.

Mind = blown. Looks absolutely amazing. I watched the whole thing in one breath and I don't think I even blinked once. Thank you for your work, can't wait to try it out this weekend!!!
This was an emotional watch. Sure it would have stolen some of he thunder from NFSU2, but they seem to have been very close to making even this one open world.
Did you know that all the buildings in Underground are actually real buildings from Vancouver? Most of them are from the area around Burrard street and Vancouver Art gallery.
Maybe one day u will make the underground 3 the people deserve with this as fundamental with tuning shops (like TJ for performance upgrades and Samantha for Visual Upgrades), races and maybe a little storyline :) i would totally pay 60$ for this
@@kaedeschulz5422 Trust me, if they wanted to name if underground 3 they would. It's a money pot they are sitting on and if they ever need some extra money theyll unleash it.
IMO, NFSU2 is like a continuation of NFSU1 since they both run on the same engine, and Palmont is like a remaster of Olympic City being how similar the architectures look. The soundtracks and the whole scenery are just unbeatable in NFSU1, can only imagine how wonderful it would be if it had a completed map like NFSU2
Which both games are somehow similar to Hot Pursuit 2 (the PS2 version), Underground 1 and 2 use a lot of physics from Hot Pursuit 2 but they're a bit tweakened, same goes for traffic cars as well. Except there are no cops in UG1 and UG2.
Actually Hot Pursuit 2 to Undercover and World uses the same engine (EAGL) only updated from time to time, of course. It would be dope to Pick the older EAGL games and put them into EAGL 4 or 3. I can imagine using Carbon as a base to Underground 1 and 2 "remasters", and Most Wanted to Hot Pursuit 2.
this is really cool cause I've always wondered what was behind those areas you couldn't get to however, this just wouldn't work in this game, and I'm really glad it wasn't included the sense of speed is too fast, so you would be around the map in a few minutes this game just clearly wasnt made for this but still, it's a great mod, and respect for doing this. Great video :)
(Sorry for bad English) In the description document, you mentioned what you plan to do, such as increasing the area where traffic cars can travel, making the map work properly, and the unopened roads in Chinatown. Five years have passed, and I want to know how the progress is... :)
It would be fantastic to interlock all the roads as the original map, with no unfinished streets, including the drag tracks. I can't even imagine how a NFSU with open world would be
That’s actually awesome when I was little about 10 - 13 years old and had a PlayStation 2 I thought the races was different circuits and it’s a big map for a PlayStation game tho
Only 3 things! 1) Thank you!!! You come true my dream!!! 2) Where is drag tracks? And Market Street partially closed! 3) Can you make this mod to NFS Underground Rivals on PSP and Most Wanted 5-1-0 too?! Thanks!
Hey, a year late, sorry. For rivals, I am not too sure if free roam can be done. It's much more linear than Underground, you don't really see the same connections between tracks.
Growing up is realising Olympic City actually makes no sense at all lol. The roads aren't layed out like a city and there seemed to be about 4 different "downtown" areas with skyscrapers everywhere. Looking at the map, it's almost like they drew a load of racing circuits, fitted them together and then just put a city skin over the top of it to act as a backdrop.
If nglzrn make a extra options for this game and add the freeroam into it without triggering one of the races instead of standalone mod that would be crazy
What tools did you use to accomplish this? Surely there must have been a process of exporting and editing the map files to get rid of all the barriers and duplicate objects. I think it would be cool to get something like this into a blender scene.
We used a hex editor to learn how the collision worked and then created our own programs to automate the process of merging the data together. The barriers had to be removed manually.
Yes, there are things that are still planned for this mod. However, many of us working on this have had next no time to make anymore progress on this. We are still working to make this mod better though!

amazing!

HOLY $#!T it's been nearly two years since this mod came out and I still thought of it as a new thing.

Damn, what a perfect way to end the video along with the song - awesome handbrake turn, lol!
damn this is like a dream come true lol nice work guys
Legit a childhood dream come true
When I played through this game, for many years I thought the drag tracks were connected to the main tracks in some way.
Even GTA San Andreas doesn't look this good. Early NFS graphics aged really well
Ahhh those good ol' days when I rushed from school to home and booted up my Intel Pentium 4 windows xp on an SRTV monitor and played nfs underground
The sense of speed in this game is good
nostalgia hits differently
I always thought that Olympic city was far more interesting than Bayview.
That’s actually awesome when I was little about 10 - 13 years old and had a PlayStation 2 I thought the races was different circuits and it’s a big map for a PlayStation game tho
Kinda makes me wish there was some kind of giant course that circumnavigates every region of the game.
You are still working on it ! If only EA could see the potential of this feature and make this an official option within the game.

@@KEVINDMASTAH Oh, which one is it?

Absolutely stellar job, that's all I can say.
they should make a mod where they port this map into nfsu2 and keep the same storyline but also keep nfsu2s customization and features
If nglzrn make a extra options for this game and add the freeroam into it without triggering one of the races instead of standalone mod that would be crazy
