nfs 2015... almost 10 years old
nfs ug2... almost 20 years old
bruh when the realization kicks in that I aged (like milk)
wait thats crazy
Real, I haven't done shit with my life yet, time goes by quick.
I refuse to acknowledge that NFS 2015 is almost 10 years old. I'm fine with UG2 being almost 20 tho.
So you're cheese now?
@@bimmer8602 I'll hit 30 soon and I only just now fulfilled my childhood dream of having a banger watercooled PC. Take your time mate, life's not a race, it's ok to let people pass you on the way, do not feel bad about it
The game will soon turn 20 in 2024.
I was 8 years old when carbon came out on GameCube
But it is 2024
@@recoiilz2854 It’s not November 9th yet, though
Still my favorite nfd ug2
@@KRAWofficial ohhh
It looks decent (apart from the reflections) but I think the original visuals and art style are much better, it's part of the charm.
i wanna be on your side but then i saw this 5:44 and well, i rather have this lol, that kinda quality carried over to the whole city with sum updates and no way im going back to og
i think the point is that this is by far the best graphics overhaul ever released for UG2, it just looks coherent and natural in a way older ones didn't, IMO. It's not better, per se, but it's the first one that isn't massively inferior lol (or at least potentially)
this game shouldve deserved on Frostbite Remastered/Remake
not RTX Remix
for Quake 2 Rtx remastered Version that's fine
I agree.
While technically surely impressive, the desaturation of the bright colors of the world strips it of its identity.
This modded version went overboard with the contrast in my most honest opinion.
2:46 The way RTX Remix works it isn't compatible with games that primarily rely on shaders instead of the fixed-function pipeline (so any games that use a Direct3D/DirectX version above 9 can't really be supported because the fixed-function stuff was probably removed)
Thank you for the detail! Appreciate that 🙏
@@BlackPanthaa Came here to say that I have figured out a way to make cars shiny again, and the white neons/lights. Will implement the fix in the next version when I feel like working.
@@UncleBurrito15 That's good to see
BBBRRRR
@@BlackPanthaa Main entries up to Hot Pursuit 2010 should be compatible, after that it gets harder as you'd have to emulate DX9's pipeline in DX11 (and from what I've seen it's more trouble that it's worth)
Hey man, thx for playing the alpha version of our mod. I am one of the poeple behind the lighting and i am currently trying to figure out the car materials for the reflections
It is far from finished but we keep working on it
Hope you can make it, I think the only thing that the mod misses is car reflections. Will be patiently waiting for the final version of the mod. Wish you the best!
Да. Автомобили похожи на кусок пластилина, а так нормально.
Idk if youll see this but is it good enough to be playable for the most part or no?
@@GodisGood941 it is at a playable state, but far from finished
@@hellrxvenexpwait so is the remastered version actually going to be released?
I personally find it funny how the original looks better imo. The way that the RTX has been implemented does not look how it should since there are a ton of missing light sources in that mod.
The way the depth of the world comes alive with the new lighting is the most impressive thing to me. Normal feels flat in comparison
@BlackPanthaa I think that has to do with how with RTX, we can get perfect blacks where there is no light. Also, I think the ambient fog is not there with the original game, which also makes it look flatter in comparison.
Since it's still a work in progress, it should only get better, which is great. This shows potential. From the video going over the most recent update, there is a particular image that looks like a modern, 2024 AAA game and imo it's the one with the 2 cars side by side driving in the night.
I am excited for 2Unreal5Underground, but this also looks good.
The remix mod is missing A LOT of light sources and reflections. None of the neon signs or glowing arrows are emitting light. The street lamps look great, but too bright, probably to compensate the lack of other light sources. RT reflections seem to work fine on the car windows, not sure what the hold up with the car body. Convert the neon signs to cast light, dial down the street lamps, and fix/enable the reflections, this could beat the latest entries in terms of lighting.
I have no idea how much work is require to convert and populate all the light sources, or what hardware is needed to render so much lights and reflections. But time would probably fix both those problems if the community continues to support this project.
@luislebronaponte2737 , "RTX" isn't a mod. It's a brand from NVIDIA. Also, you can't just add Ray Tracing (DirectX12) to an older title. This mod is simply adding more advanced PBR textures for better practical lighting and reflection, which is a long and tedious process because you need to convert all the texture maps with optimised normals, roughness and metallic. "RTX On" is ignorance.
@captureinsidethesound RTX On is actually something NVIDIA themselves have used to showcase their RTX working with games. Saying it is ignorance is calling NVIDIA themselves ignorant, so I don't get your point with that. Besides that, I do understand how you could misunderstand what I meant when I said "that mod" since I was talking about RTX in the comment. But it's ok. Don't worry about it.
On another point, what you explained doesn't sound like a mod. Just retexturing. In my 20+ years, one of the games I've played is Minecraft, so I think I'd know what changing/adding textures here and there would add to the game when shaders that support PBR textures and the like. I know it is a tedious and meticulous process that can take a long time, which is why, in my reply, I mentioned about it being a work in progress and being excited for this and also the 2Unreal5Underground.
Since a lot of light sources are missing, it is possible that:
1. The RTX implementation is not detecting some of what emitted light in the og game.
2. The RTX is working just fine and it's just that the OG textures had the lighting 'baked into' the textures, so it would make sense how a lot of parts of the map look dark af since those original textures more than likely did not have the necessary textures needed to work with RTX and have them reflect the nearby light off of them.
Imo, the 2nd is the most likely case. This is why it is understandable why when scenes shown where there were barely any light sources originaly, the clips look so good. 🤔
Anyway, I'm not butthurt or anything, but I don't like ppl assuming I don't know much of what I'm talking about. While I do not know it all to an extent, I do know some of it. Or at least I'd like to think I do? XD
Idk. Have a good day... or night. Idk when you'll be reading this, if ever. 🤷🏻♂️
"Need for Speed 2015 - it's an old game, right? Almost 10 years old" - It legit hurt me physically and mentally to hear this... wtf is happening? Why does time fly so fast?!
Miss the days of getting home and blasting nfs ug & ug2 still holds its own today
One of the greatest racing games all time!!
This game has been improved upon by the mod community for almost 20 years. Can't wait to see what the next 10 years will be like for this game
The car models are actually on par with the ones in newer Forza Motorsport games. I'd say this is a win
Game of the year there
😭😂
No, they're not. Not even close.
Yeah ur smoking bro giving it a little too much credit
It's not
It needs it reflections
Very poor reflection
It is honestly baffling how modders for all this time have been completely neglecting (and still do) the term “art style” which is exactly what truly carries any kind of game foremost, rather than just lighting and sharp textures and this RTX mod is not an exception - I would honestly prefer playing with 2004 visuals rather than this mod which makes UG2 feel like it’s an Unreal engine game done in like a week or so.
Yeah, everything looks way too bright and the reflections are almost non-existent. Guess that's just what happens when you shove PBR shaders in a game without PBR textures and don't bother adapting the existing material and lighting settings to the new shader system.
I don't like old graphics so..
@@AlphaGarglack of reflections is due to NFS textures system - each time you change colour game creates new texture with random hash, REMIX needs to know what texture with what parameters it should replace, that's why there still no reflections.
But devs are working on in it, and eventually it will be fixed.
About lighting, it's all configurable, you can adjust it by yourself in remix menu.
Right? Shit looks uncanny, don't get the praise here at all
@@hihellothere9569and you’re in the minority 😂
I saw a couple news articles about this project and it's crazy to see the gameplay
Hopefully they can re add those neon lights in the city otherwise it looks quite dull
don't forget our dude that working on unreal underground 2
This game always had a special place in my heart... this was the game that helped me and my sister bond even though she isn't a car person at heart. This game always had me constantly daydreaming during break in first grade of sending a Pontiac GTO through the city streets, those memories are priceless👌
The charm of the classic is the dancing lights, that cool effect it had, I think that any remake of this game needs to keep that, otherwise it loses the essence
Gotta say, the lighting looks fantastic! Modders were, are, and will always be my idols! The way the 240SX spoilers shadow moves around the car depending on where the light source is located. The way the light appers and disappears from the car when moving through shadows. The hotel lobby lights are blinding but gorgeous. There appears to be some smooth motion blur present on the traffic as well on other racers too. And, I don't want to sound rude or ungrateful to the blessed modders but... There were really some hilarious moments on this video like the drag race and the drift race. And the damn racers AI...! ROFL Thanks for making my day BP! And hats off to the amazing modders!
Very poor reflection and car model
Very dark also
Dude, that sharpening of your recording when you said it was straight genius.
1. Good god this is accurate for how this game felt as a kid.
2. Good god get some damn lights in the tunnels and such.
3. red- paint/ green-body shop/ darker blue- performance/ yellow or gold- accent accessories (audio components, underglow, hydros, etc.)
4. DAMN! this is gonna be a great mod when it gets fully fleshed out and finalized.
You need a 40 series to run this smoothly btw, guys
that awesome detail you missed is flooded interior :D NFSU1-2 had interior in level with doors. It was never meant to be seen and there was ultrablack material to hide it but here it is unhiddden
I need codemasters to make their own underground type game. Then we would have proper physics.
Theo: "...it's like sharpening..."
**proceeds to sharpen video**😂
My man your hair is awesome 👍🏻 Keep it going my G
Thanks mate!
@@BlackPanthaa Truly Amazing hairstyle my man, and your welcome 🤗🙏🏻
Very cool video black panthaa
we need a playthrough of this game with this mod, like u did wit mw pepega. great vid keep it up
I was playing NFS MW in my yellow evo then I saw this video
And I was like
Hey wait a second
Lol great video
Yess!! will we see a playthrough theo?
This is my favorite need for speed I really would love to see more of this game love u panther
Yesssssss.
Definitely want to see more
I haven’t played NFS underground 2 in years and a lot of areas look familiar
Childhood ❤
yeah we definitely need more of this
GPS arrow reflection made me laugh so hard 😆
Reflections most likely a work in progress for the mod is my guess
I feel like it wouldn’t be hard to imagine ug2 with like multiplayer free free roam like modern games. I’d love to cruise around bay view with the homies
Hopefully the paint of cars will get its reflections back tho.
You should try sound mods next, there are some really awesome realistic ones out there
So nostalgic🥲
Miss these times
More of this content please!🎉
havent watched a vid in a minute and bro looks massive w
Love this game so much.Wanna see more underground 2 videos
nfs 2015 being almost 10 years old is insane to think about, it aged incredibly well
Oooo looks so damn good
Hopefully they fix their reflections I mean it's still like a beta so they probably will and then you should make another video
This game is what made me love the 240sx back in the day. Was my dream car when I was 10years old when this game came out. And got a 180sx when i turned 18 and have had it ever since. This game is so damn good
I love this game so much, that I would be happy with even a re-release. Also, Pants man, can we have a new let’s play though this game?
street over circuit races for sure
I'm waiting for a series!😊
Nothing like Theo throwing back a classic nostalgic NFS UG2!! Good times!
@8:55 *Theo laugh*
NFSU2 remastered or not, I keep coming back to it, the handling of the cars just feels so perfect and it’s an amazing game overall
I'ma say this once. This better be a series ♥️😭
Best need for speed ever
greatest racing game in my opinion. the full line up of really great cars.. even mine is in there!
Holy shit this doesn't look overdone!!! It actually manages to look natural. I would prefer it with a bit of darker filters (or weaker lighting, whatever proper term for raytracing) but this is amazing
EDIT: Okay they need to improve car reflections/surface textures.
WOW! That's sick!
Vroom vroom remember me?
Aside from reflections which they will update, the game would need brighter and further headlamp beams imo
All the cars looks like it have a matte color
Good to see an official remaster
YEs pls we need a part 2 of this
So, Theo has evolved from male Lina Navarro to Most Wanted's JV.
Looks GOOD
Yes I wanna see More Of Underground 2
How do I play this game on pc? I have been wanting to play it again for years as the old ps2 has kicked it
i hope, EA will remaster those three nfs games in the future, NFSU2, NFSMW ans NFSC
You can fix the paint roughness on Game setup tab under material options/Legacy Materials roughness play with it😊
It just needs the crazy bloom effect back (and car reflections) and then it'd be about perfect.
You should also try NFS:MW RTX Remix! It's absolutely fantastic. These 2 games combined with this mod actually better than modern NFS games.
This was peak gaming
How to rice a skyline proceeds to use square taillights😂
Did any one see that Pontiac ad on the sign up on the building?!😮😅 Tells how old we are!!! 😮🎉❤
12:26 I recently played UG2 at 75 FPS, not only does the refresh rate feel fine, it feels great. I like the cars being a little slippery.
Incredible 😮
Since u mentioned handling of these classic games i think the handling in Carbon is actually the best in the series, it’s so smooth and controllable (tuners are the best) and there’s a distinct difference between each car class
I literally just installed UG2 yesterday.
But got it from a repack.
And have downloaded this mod pack.
i tried installing it, but it didn’t want to start.
Another issue im having is when i connect my PS4 controller.
The buttons are all weird.
With like square being “accept”
And “X” being back.
And the Dpad doesn’t work properly so i cant read messages with the controller.
and i cant assign the buttons in the menu.
Tried a controller repack mod. But that didn’t work either.
If anyone knows how to help me with this.
Id very much appreciate it.
can i run this mod on my original cd disc? or do i need a pirated copy
Is there a fix for the game crashing every time I press Alt+X to access the remix settings?
This game was truly ahead of its time when it was released , an absolute masterpiece
You absolutely need to check out some Mods for the old Gran Turismos. GT4 has some amazing mods like: Engine Swap (any swap is possible), Upscaled texture pack or the !!!MULTIPLAYER!!!, which some modders actually got to work.
Also very nice: GT5 MasterMod/GT2 A-Spec Mod, both adding new tracks and cars, also porting over removed cars/tracks from older games.
This looks fantastic!! I wonder if it'll work on my oled steam deck?🤔🤔
This game is nostalgia trip through my childhood
Come on, EA, how hard would it be to create a proper Underground 3? Use U2's style as a foundation, maybe even reuse Bayview's setting (but enlarge the map), add cops similar to Most Wanted's police system (not the crazily aggressive NFS Heat cops who slam into you and take you out as if you're riding a golf cart), add some more cars and call it a day.
It looks great ngl
Thinking about this.. does Reshade work with Underground 2?
I can not wait.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
You have prepared a very nice video. Why don't you make a video talking about the things you want in Underground 3? you should make one. So maybe EA can hear the players' voices. Everyone wants Underground 3.
God i miss this game so bad would love to see and official remaster on modern consoles
Sprint over circuit all day
Omg, the sound track of NFSU and NFSU2 shaped my music taste till now
I think once they get the basics implementation perfect, they can focus on the atmosphere. Because the glow of the city and all the neon on the buildings are missing.
Between street lights seems almost too dark? But other areas are now far too bright. Maybe that means introducing back some small amount of artificial ambient lighting? 🤷🏻♂️
Amazing looking game btw
Dang. PC gets all the cool stuff. I need this in my life.
I miss all this racing mode separately :)
This is what the game looked like to me the first time I played it. Holy shit lol
When you said nfs 2015 is almost 10 years old I almost had a heart attack ..
I wonder how Jackson Heights will look like. You should go there if you’re going to make another video with another save with more progression.
now we wait for the nfsmw
