@@Ozzie143you don't even hear yourself how that statement sounds stupid and is ignorant. Microtransactions have nothing to do with graphics. Ray tracing is the way to go. Why? Quite simple really.

@@PredatorXi1 that ain't true at all. You can do it even with 2060s. The problem is people always tend to just click highest option available for graphics then bash the game and technology for why it works like ass. You can with ease get ray tracing with 60 fps. Yes you can't enable highest fidelity options or enable in games that support full suite of ray tracing but enabling partially some will yield excellent image quality results. Take a look at metro exodus enhanced or resident evil village for example or control. Even with low mid range GPUs you cam get 60 fps with decent ray tracing quality that changes fundamentally how the game looks for the better.
Best game ever made. NFS Underground 1 really changed video games. Fast and Furious really inspired EA to make a street racing game like this. NFS Underground was the first NFS game to have customization, tuner cars and made it amazing.
@@jesusserrano8769 Eddie is the leader of The Eastsiders and currently the best racer on the streets of Olympic City; he also has a girlfriend - Melissa.
@@snievl OK, I didn't know that. There was like 75% chance that I would crash if I would take that route. That level (& the one with the Chinatown) always gave me such a hard time.
Man so many memories of this game! I used to play this game so much! And then Underground 2 came out and I was just blown away. I really hope we get a remastered version of both games. I've been playing NFSH and it just don't have that "damn this is amazing" factor to it like Underground 1&2 especially had.
After nearly 20 years, I committed and finally beat this game on ALL HARD. It was *punishing*, like the dark souls of racing. The rubber banding in insane and the random traffic is so challenging. But as a 12 year old, I quit on like, event 107/111 and I finally beat it tonight. It's a good feeling to finally finish such an old project!
@@ndinspection3007 you should. I'm getting old and slow so some of the races are pretty hard for me but the traffic is consistent every race (like lap 4 always has traffic in the same lane etc) so as long as you keep mental notes you'll be good. The only really nasty race is a 7 lap circuit race near the end of the game. Get through that and it's smooth sailing.
@@ldm125 great tips! Don't bring yourself down brother, you completed it on hard. That's skill alone, do you plan on continuing on with the NFS series? My plan is to start from underground or hot pursuit 2 and just work my way to current on hard. I have my old ps3 and ps4 so I just need to find the games and get my systems from my storage unit lol
The first UG was an ambitious project by Black Box to show what they really can do with 6 gen consoles, on PS2 the reflections are even more ridiculous, they hired people who did the racing scene on Star Wars Prequel to catch the feeling of environment and speed.
It's remastered with better graphic but easier level defficulty. In old versions was huge traffic and in one race there wasnt posibility to not crash 5-10 times.
I cherish those days I played NFS:U(2), NFS:MW, and MC3:DE. too bad I never got to finnish them since those were the days when blockbuster was booming. 😔 I also remember playing with there in-store game systems while watching to check out our movies and games with both my mother and big brother.

@@sametkurt8481 yes lol for sure i've always liked NFS but its not that super arcadish imho, its not really any different from Forza Horizon imho but both are certainly not Assetto Corsa level.i guess thats why i enjoyed it because i wasnt expecting any sim level realism from it but just pure gamey racing with cool cars.
Lol I just played this game like... Who knows month ago. I still remember my first time playing this game back in 2004... Where cyber cafe still existed and making friends there. Damn bro, so many memories.
It reminds me of the time when i studied in one class i ended this game for the first time and now when see this game it feels amazing just like old times 🥰😍
Ah yes, the good old days when you could take a double S-shaped corner through the countryside with 234 km/ph and people still considered it a realistic game ...
Nostalgia is pretty much upscaling all you memories to 4k. I have insane visuals in mind when i think back to older games especially when i think about Bioshock
@@Zy.Blurish that game was pure as shit regardless of limited customization I loved its realistic slippery feel, always kept me on edge as a kid then I discoverd a Pinkslip glitch and ended being rich I was on Xbox doe but all I did was max out the Mitsubishi 3000gt or whatever it all to prototypes and every car that was a Pinkslip challenge was a slow ass ford focus and it worked on every racer
I played it after NFSU2 bec of curiosity. It didn't disappoint me due to the way the car handles (kinda grippy) which suited my playing style. Though I like NFSU2 because of the free roam and the n350z titular car. I must say this game is way ahead of its generation.
Jeez i hated this game after a while soo much because the blur effect when you drive hard. everything moves to fast. rubberbanding. I was stuck at race 95 and after a while my disc was so scratched that it didn't work anymore. Luckily i had underground 2 laying around. Way better then this one
Underground is the GREATEST NFS/Racing game ever made!! Not even the other underground’s that came out after could fuck with this first one. Game really captures the true essence of STREET RACING! Aaaaah, those GameCube days:)
This game got fucking hard towards the end. I never beat it but I have great memories of actually taking the time to try to get through it. All time classic, and still really beautiful.
Back when they made complete video games at reasonable prices and didn't try and monetise everything or make monthly passes or online service games. Golden days of gaming.

This game also had one of the best soundtrack in gaming history.
Despite how awesome this game was, the rubberbanding AI here is freaking ridiculous.
I recall seeing a video and a guy was talking about this and said he did this race and beat it no problem with a STOCK car
VTEC activate
BTW that rubberbanding is caused by very fast CPU clockspeed from what I've heard of?
Rubber banding made that S2000 tournament hell for me.
Tbh rubber banding on both underground titles are the most annoying on any nfs game
Even the hot pursuit titles are less rubbish
Short story, the ending of this game is :
