One of the theories I have about this disappearing highway was that during testing they found out people largely ignored the city center and just powered on using the highways. So maybe to make traveling a bit more interesting, and perhaps feel more like a street racing game than a highway cruising game, they decided to remove this fast bit of road. But it's quite a far fetch, your theory of just killing a confusing bit is quite sensical.
What I noticed is that this really complicated intersection does not include a connecting road from the east part of the highway (coming from the airport) to divert traffic to Coal Harbor. So maybe the extra stretch of highway that does not belong to the city circle of highways but constitutes Coal Harbor's east access was made because of that. Or, to put it more precisely, they might have thought that Coal Harbor needs its own connection to the airport, rather than a linking road to the already complicated intersection.
The spaghetti highway was really cool, there's also a road in the city center which is blocked, following the Coal Harbor highway, going nearby the purple sphere (garage), ahead there's a blocked road, why it's blocked? It have a complete collision and is a perfect road, yet it's blocked 🗿
Yep it's very different in the PS2 demo compared to the final game. There are many different roads from 1:20 till the end of the video that don't exist in the final game, which are indeed confusing so that's probably the reason why that part of the map was changed. But I have to ask something: is there any way to disable that motion blur? And is there a way to remove the demo's time limit? It closes after 10 minutes and it's very annoying.
I'm wondering whether its possible to replace the pc version's city map with this one just like someone did with the drag map without construction sites or not
Best option to do this without a trainer would be to go to the games files, then go to the TRACKS folder, Rename L4RA.BUN to whatever you want, same with STREAML4RA.BUN. After that, Rename the L4RD.BUN file to L4RA.BUN, and the same with STREAML4RD.BUN, renaming it to STREAML4RA.BUN. However this wont bring the clusterfuck of a Highway intersection back, but it will make the blocked off tunnel accessible :). To revert back to the normal map just rename the files to what they were originally. Sucks tho that you cant go into any events or shops while the tunnel is unblocked, itd be really cool to play the game in full and still be able to take the main highway
@@EclipsedVisions i'm looking into this but from looks, people didn't even try to do that sadly. there have been tools for around three years now to do so, but to no avail. i'll see what I can do, but I won't promise anything
+Redride 's OG She plays it on GSDX9 and Speedhacks all one and EE Cycle 3-3. And seeing your NFSU2 video on PC, i can guess that you're computer just can't handle PCSX2.
+Redride 's OG actually recently i have been using a dx11 renderer designed to run need for speed games (only supportive of the ps2 demos right now. They also sorta support the pc version) if you want to run it on a ps2 emulator then ee sycle rate should be 3 and vu cycle rate should be 1 or 2 (3 also works but makes things buggy. but more framerate that way...) dx9 in the emulator wont freeze your shit unlike dx12.
i did your settings, it freezes but now faster than old settings (a bit) what' s your pc specialities? mine: 3.00 Ghz (x64) 1 GB RAM ATI HD5450 (DirectX 11) win7 (x64) and on old settings the pc was: "Get out of here, it' s gonna blow!"
can't wait this is so intriguing. Half of my childhood mysteries being solved after all these years lol.

its done to make thie city seem bigger
That spaghetti junction would've been fun to drive on.

The signage looks ugly AF. Glad they changed it.
There are still some signs like this in final UG2
Still probably the coolest map in racing history.. Tho Midnight Club Los Angeles Complete Edition and Dub Edition Remix are beautiful too 🤔
I prefer this highway. I like it better.
Nice vidya, also at 2:08 the big blue building with the red antenna is on the left side in the final version
to stop the lag in the game just put the vid at 1.25x it works
2:12 Ones Again Have Hot Balloons Have Removed That Was Cool
Cars also seem to spawn when you drive on the left driver track on the highway, that is not the case in the full version

different signs looked weird

McKenna Shalissa i was talking about this map, not the unblocked drag map(im already using it anyway haha) but thanks xP

sadly the series end here :(
Are you playing on pcsx2 what' s your pcsx2 settings and pc specialities?
+Redride 's OG She plays it on GSDX9 and Speedhacks all one and EE Cycle 3-3. And seeing your NFSU2 video on PC, i can guess that you're computer just can't handle PCSX2.
i have dx11 video card, what must my settings can you help?

mine beats yours by far :V
but ive seen it work fine on pc's with specs like yours :V
Give A Link To The Beta Hack Demo
Fixcator Vincer At the beginning he say PS2.... so there is no download link.
Nfs U2
NFSMW was the best, but Underground Olympic city was better
That's Bayview tho.
