Have a look at Need for Speed Most Wanted with RTX Remix Path Tracing

The original looks so much better than a lot of these "Upgrade/Modded" versions!

This game, Underground 1 & 2 and Carbon need a proper remake.
 
Yeah, the atmosphere of the original is not something I'd want to lose with an RTX mod. Unless they find a way to maintain the original art style, I can't see myself giving this a shot.
 
It looks terrible... Its like the old games where models had detail but no shadows at all. Original is definately much better and more immersive.
 
I didn’t like this one.

The sometimes never ending cop chase grinds really distracted from the racing. And the AI for them was total poo.

Cop chases don’t belong in street racing games.

And that’s why NFSU2 is still the goat.
 
While the tech behind it is very nice, The presentation in this specific game was a little meh.

I'd love a modern NFSU2, Latest cutting edge graphics, Slightly more realistic gameplay, Indepth customization, Much bigger map, Proper guild-like options with a home garage for you and your friends rides... and the ability to also get out of your car when in your home base/garage for a little social interactivity.
 
Everyone wants a NFSU2 remake, but I can guarantee you, every single one of us would be disappointed.

We hold it with such high regard that our expectations would be too high.

Dead Space remake demonstrated that it is possible. And that's an EA game.

Different genre though. Its much easier to remake first person games. But I agree. Dead space is a great exception, and there are many more. However... NFSU2 in my opinion is extremely unique. It offered something no other game did, and that is why I think its difficult to bring forward into 2024.
 
In honesty we do not need a remake of NFSU2.

What we do want is a proper attempt at NFSU3. The problem is money. Things have changed, especially for EA, and thus the money going in is tiny compared to what they want coming out.

I mentioned why this is in my review on here of NFSU. This was many years ago, btw, but it hit on how they used to SPEND money on games. Things like soundtracks that were tailored for the game. I mean, of course, things like the Riders On The Storm track created specifically for the game by Snoop Dogg and etc. That would have cost strong money. Also the inclusion of real, beautiful women like Brooke Burke.

They just don't want to invest any more. We know this. What they want is a cheap, fast way of fleecing kids out of their money. So with that said? you can't expect them to turn everything they believe on its head and create another masterpiece. It just isn't happening and if it did? yes, we would be sorely disappointed from the get go when it wants us to pay for the mods we do to our cars via micro transactions.

The problem here is we want to go back to another era in time where people actually had to work hard and provide a good product in order to make money. We were not yet brainwashed by our phones and "influencers" and today it is far too easy to take rather than give.

There are so few actual games like that now. Baldur's Gate is probably the only one I can recall in recent history where they actually put serious amounts of money IN before wanting it back out.
 
we wont ever get a similar Underground.

The gaming industry keeps moving to bigger maps, and more open world content. And sometimes making this bigger just makes games not as fun. I dont need to casually driver for 15mins to each event, I just want to jump straight into them.
