Need for Speed Underground - Remaster RTX Remix!

Need for Speed Underground has been given the same treatment as NFS Underground 2 with this RTX Remix graphics upgrade! While overall quite dark in places, it really creates a better feeling of distance.

Take the comparison with a grain of salt, I forgot to turn the reflections back on... (mod needs them off) 🫠

[@saeedalamoudi9788]

With a big T spoon..but just don't get us wait too long Black P ❤

@BlackPanthaa .😭😭PLEASE LET CREW MOTOR FEST KNOW I WANT THE TOYOTA LAND CRUISER 7O SERIES

[@purwantiallan5089]

Wish we could see the Cybertruck in NFS UNDERGROUND RTX Mod.

[@aniketmanish5625]

Nfs underground 1 was my introduction to the nfs franchise seeing it with new graphics makes me rlly happy

[@purwantiallan5089]

Hope the RTX mod also fix the rubberbanding which is a massive problem on the original version.

[@ReboyGTR]

*Honesty, this mod needs some work. I prefer the original.*

[@masteroftheblaster9523]

I NEED MY WET ROAD REFLECTIONS

[@cxssetteman182]

I think Redux and Definitive Edition are still better.

[@Puffypoo574]

In my opinion, the mod would be a lot better if they fixed the lighting

[@MidnightApex-ml6jc]

@@cxssetteman182 beta visuals is more better

[@TORr_666]

Think the same 👌👌

[@bimmer8602]

That mantis widebody kit on the skyline is just so good.

[@purwantiallan5089]

The mantis widebody kit even in the original version also looked nice.

[@hazexo1131]

4:01 this area looks amazing

[@Healtsome]

Oh yes, my favorite racing game. This mod isn't perfect yet, but it's a great start! Thanks for the video, Theo.

[@Dav4iks]

What this mod lacks is the front lights of the car. It would fix a lot of problems with dark places

[@Usmanbhai380]

Old but gold 😊

[@cin2110]

I don't get the dated physics argument these games ran on ps2s but had more detailed physics compared to any nfs relased in the last 10 years. Go edit game files in nfs vlted there are suspension stiffnes values, tire grip values, weight, basic aero and aero coefficents, engine torque, rpm, the power the car makes in certain rpm range, gearbox efficency and actual gear ratios and stuff. Cars behave realistically but exaggerated like forza horizon but with more grip little bit more arcadey.

[@ogmelo9547]

These "arcade kids" and fanboys will never admit that let alone even accept the truth......😔🙏🏾💙

[@speedyblackman]

Recently got an RTX capable PC, can't wait to try these mods out!

[@cin2110]

don't bother if you don't have 4070 ti (for like 30-40fps) or higher

[@AV20242]

Damn, The game lookin' extra crispy. Keep up the good work

[@pieOutlawracing]

I absolutely remember the handling. It's definitely better than anything since the run imo.

[@BlackPanthaa]

Has not aged well at all

[@pieOutlawracing]

@BlackPanthaa To each their own then, I suppose. They just feel so good to me, like I always know where my car will go. With the newer games half the time, I have to guess if my car is going to understeer or oversteer going into most corners. It's just not fun for me.

[@kavehgaming546]

Glad your come back ... i like to do a conversation like yours ❤

[@inkursion5868]

The PS2 version actually would have looked better here since you showed the pc version on what looks like low settings... At least ALL of the reflections are missing

[@J0rdan912]

Everything is missing on that comparison. Also, console versions (even PS2 versions) of 2000's NFS were always is somewhat ahead of lazy PC ports: better particles system, native widescreen, correct post-processing, etc.

[@theahoaho7948]

This is amazing to just get a base RTX package that you can work off of from there is so smart

[@JtovenMusic]

This was the game that I played on the PSP as a little kid and I could not remember the name of it for YEARS until I saw the title a while ago. This was a core memory

[@usajcmv3399]

That game represent the good moment's of racing game and racing movies as well.

Underground 2 introduced me to gaming

[@purwantiallan5089]

The NFS UNDERGROUND RTX Remake is simply epic!

[@optimumplatinum2640]

Honestly the tunnel looks way off, but the rest looks alright

[@rasheeddave6011]

Miss this game so much and part 2 especially open world

[@WokeMyAss_istant]

15:35 this is how I remember my first NFS Underground experience with my computer I had at the time XD

[@chibha96]

I played this need for speed game a long time back. I think there was a motion blur and particle effect which was good VFX considering hardware limitations. The game was easy to learn as I had NFS Porsche Unleashed game copy and that NFS game felt like a driving simulator😅.

[@NJDJ1986]

Original looks still more okay because it's brighter than the RTX version! @0:51 *Theo laugh* @7:41 *Theo crashed*

[@MIVTvofficial]

Games like Underground captured the whole car scene and culture at the time and took it to new heights. I remember in underground 2, doing magazine shoots and placing your car in any way you wanted, wheels turned, open doors bonnet boot etc, brand sponsors and prize money and just all that involvement! Nothing matches it - everything was tuner heavy, sounds too, each car sounded so ‘modified’ and it brings you that early nostalgia feeling new games can’t do even if they tried, I feel now it’s all different compared to these older games - the feeling was just different

[@CuriousGamer022]

Who here prefers the original graphics for this game?

[@vegito1087]

10:52 me to theo lol

[@thejosedrive]

It does look nice

[@cxlciummmiv]

imagine saying that redux or whatever the fuck looks better than this 😂😂😂

[@Goldenhordemilo]

midnight club would be interesting remastered

[@Astrothunder_]

it makes no sense that this looks soooo much better than the one for underground 2.

[@eugene12310mobile]

Tbh if we are to do an RTX Remix for any Need for Speed game the one that stands to get the most benefit would be the Shift series as it tries to emulate a very realistic art style not to mention its age being more recent

[@blinkachu5275]

The RTX Remix mod for Underground 2 now also has car reflections ^^ It's in a bit of a further stage than the Underground 1 mod, so it does look nice overall, but I think that the Underground 1 mod does have some stuff that looks better (the rear lights for instance in Underground 2 just don't look right yet with the mod) I love both these mods though. I think the original games have a very good style going for them but it's awesome to see them with realistic lighting and shadows, especially the shadows (since they were basically absent in the original games). Drifting on a track that's only lit by the lights at the corners now feels like you're actually at an abandoned car park or something, it's awesome

[@Irrelavant__]

These mods will look even more impressive in a few years or so once they start updating the textures with PBR shaders and making models much more denser polygon wise. The RTX Remix allows to do that.

[@masvemusic_bassboosted7091]

yoooo thats so siiiiiick !!

[@Triple259772]

I REMEMBER if i say i want underground physics i mean i want underground physics. This game was incredibly competitive in its time. People would run time trials on the xbox and would have lan party tournaments, if you were a wall rider to get your time you would get cooked.

[@daniel25ss]

Is rtx remix makes a copy of the original game with the graphics changes in it or you you need to enable it each time?

[@rattlesnk18]

handling better than any nfs past pro street.

[@BlackPanthaa]

Nah no way, it definitely got better in most wanted and carbon

[@SurSolide]

@@BlackPanthaa yup and they destroyed the handling after those games. right now every car feels same but drive at different speeds and too snappy + drifting is soooo bad that i dont play new need for speed titles anymore. why they dont make it more close to forza horizon or old nfs carbon idk. but if they are gonna continue doing that badly i probably will never return to nfs. I hope they fix it after unbound.

[@alexcovarrubia9604]

Bro but my question is will Underground one and Two be playable on the PlayStation 5 pro because it would be disappointing if it won't I mean Need for speed been on PlayStation platform for a very long time since the very beginning of the first PlayStation if I do recall and remember 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@almightypear]

when this happens to midnight club 3... i better see you there (threat)

[@tonybarnes2920]

Looks good, except the things that we would fake back then, light headlights and tail lights. They're not emitting enough light. And yes, Burnout should be back to TRACKS, not that travesty in Paradise.

[@RogueBeatsARG]

Why you put the Original Game footage at minimum graphics bro 😂

[@fto9398]

Damn

[@ReboyGTR]

*Did they fix the engine sounds? Original game had like 5 diffrent sounds.*

[@BlackPanthaa]

They made some changes but I reverted them to standard in this video

[@kanjosidr]

4:01 I disagree. I replay it every couple of years and I do want to feel this kinda physics in modern games. It feels very "unscripted"

[@Waffleisskating]

when you compare the two you are using the lowest settings, on the rtx version you dont have as much reflections as you do in original on high settings.

[@wharris123184]

0:49 LMAO

[@oo_r18_oo]

❤

[@MrRaphaelLippi]

where are the head lights effect?

[@KSH13OFFICIAL]

There is a huge difference. The grapics look way nicer!

[@dead-channel6842]

just finished this game out of nostalgia as I have had played it many times before when i was a kid but wasn't able to complete it only because of my younger skillset it feels so good to achive something that has been left undone for years❤❤ not to mention that AI was such a cheating B*tch almost had my ass crying to win at 6 lap races💀💀

[@raveltammeleht6278]

Hmm, seems alot like in alpha stages. Since the performance suffers alot. And it does not look as good as I would expect from a RTX title. But I do find the overall track look quite decent. But still not sure if its actually realistic. You see the effect they seem to go for is the Global Illumination. This is why its "blurry" that's my guess at least. But the problem is that they seem to be using the reflection model instead. While they should be using the diffusion model. So everything kind of looks metallic. I have a sharp eye for this, since I closely work with this type on rendering techniques. I have learned from the professionals, that you should make the global illumination as static as possible, since there is very little movement in that type of lighting. And then add a layer of reflection equations for the reflective surfaces. A further read about IBL and PBR techniques should help you understand what I mean by this. There is a lot of special techniques used in the underground 1 and underground 2 that made real time road reflections possible in the first place, without the need for actual ray tracing. If you want to discuss this further, then try contacting me and have a discussion about this. As otherwise this comment gets too long, when I try to explain my opinions in depth.

[@ocularcavity8412]

I LOVE NFS underground 1+2 but I can not get them to run on my PC at ALL all the guides I have looked up never work, the only way I can still Play them is by Emulating my PS2 versions from back in the day

[@kman33ful]

looks like there's a power outage in the rtx version!!!

[@J0rdan912]

Looks like the original game on low settings with all post-processing off, but sprinkled with RTX to the point you can barely see any difference. WTF with all these comments and glorifying that garbage? RTX Remix simply doesn't work without total rework of the game assets and engine, especially the older pre-physical based rendering titles.

[@SaintFrost11]

Would you play the new NFS unbound UNITE mod?

[@Trueblue1526]

In my opinion that darkness is perfect makes it like racing in actual dark I love it

[@BlackPanthaa]

That's true, it is at night to be fair 😂

[@theviewer1423]

I think it needs some brightness tweaks as in turning it up somewhat. Played some Unbound in single player I think multi kinda sucks. Takes too long to get into a decent race in multi but they can play multi I dont care. Used a car that is new to me the Pagani Huayra BC 2017. I think it can be quite unstable in turns. It's not too bad though with some tweaks. Not the best car I think.

[@socksonfeet8125]

Mod looks pretty bad and low effort, they need to manually set up each light individually, make new car models with correct RTX materials and new environment models. They did the bare minimum and it shows lol. There's no point in using RTX remix if you aren't going to use any of its good features. Original at 4k still looks better than the low effort mod :/.

[@anthonyharding4380]

RTX is too aggressive and creates too much contrast...but its not bad.

[@xxelitewarriorxx]

i don't understand why ea doesn't remaster the old black box games

[@keegangossett2896]

I think this just goes to show that older games especially PS2 era games don’t need complete graphic overhauls and remasters. I think the original graphics Underground 1 and 2 are better than these rtx mods. In my opinion with the new graphics, these games lose a lot of their charm because it doesn’t even look or feel like the same game.

[@BlackPanthaa]

Wait till you hear what people say about Unbound

[@Goldenhordemilo]

I bet you dont have your gpu tuned bro sure i 4k that game on my gtx1080ti but if i had you card bro i would study electrical engineering and set the best overclock for the temps my card seen to use 322 Watts. Finely tuning a pc is a game no console player would get to enjoy.
