[@thomascriviera5779]

Hi there :) Amazing what you all have done for this game and us as fans of the franchise and your work. Thank you, to all of the people who have worked on it for this incredible Mod. Massive respect. I cannot wait to get this installed :) But about installing this mod (sweat_smile) I do have a few questions. First of which is, what are the specs of the PC you are doing this showcase on? Or in case you do not want to share that info, does my rig fit the bill? : Intel I7-8700 - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX1070 (8 GB dedicated, 16 GB shared memory) Second question: Are there install guides available (for morons like me) on your discord channel and/or KZbin channel? (I am quite bad at doing these things by myself tbh) Third question: Will it affect your single player campaign/savefile? (As I have pretty much done all there is in the game, even cheating a boatload of money after completing it so I can buy a ton of cars that I want to customize but I never intent to use XD) Fourth question: How does this MOD fair in Online? / Does it work in Online? (This question is more or less because of my lack of knowledge on how MOD's work (sweat_smile)) Fifth question: By any chance, are all DLC cars available for everyone with this MOD? Or do you still need to buy that DLC from the Origin Store? (Would be cheeky if they were available, as I am quite salty about the fact that you still need to buy a 5 euro, 5-odd car DLC even though I bought the PRE-ORDER DELUXE-EDITION........ Yeah, the hate for that fact is deep-rooted.(sweat_smile)) Because of all the first 4 questions I am kind of, afraid might I say, of (installing) MOD's. As I stated before, I suck at installing things correctly. So before I break my PC somehow I rather have watched a guide at least 5 times before going for it with the install guide playing as I follow the steps. In advance, thank you for reading and your answer :) Again, I love the work you and the team have done and cannot wait to properly install it (so I can want to play Payback again) and see the future additions. Thank you, and cheers :)

Tbh I don't bought this game because the random loot box and microtransactions. However after seeing you guys fix this , I think maybe I should give a shoot.

[@joscefs]

Ya wanna know a interesting fact, i didn't too untill they released the trailer weeks back and lpripper did a video on it... I bought it and finished the storyline so I could enjoy payback unite when it came out.

[@rosaria8384]

Money, customer tastes, and corporate decisions.

[@adlibbed2138]

[@jarmonmarmon7698]

[@Rick-bn5bs]

An aggressive high quality lens flare can make this even more appealing. Specially from the upcoming car's headlights and from the taillights of cars that are infront of the players. Like you did with Heat.

[@mr.gingerbread1194]

I second this

[@infinite2306]

You guys are amazing. No wonder this UNITE mod took a lot of time. I'm glad Project Unite is here "reviving" Need for Speed games. Thank you so much for your hardwork♥️

[@Fade2BlackSS]

Holy shit. The graphics look freaking awesome. One of my biggest issues with the Payback and Heat were the dramatic blue or yellow color filters that drown out the colors of the cars. This looks to fix that. I can't wait to check this out.

[@RumblerGaming]

Again it just goes to show how once again, as always, modders have to fix and make games 50x better than the DEVELOPMENT TEAM can ever do, insane to me!!! Great job guys.

[@emma6648]

You don’t understand the difficulty and sheer talent game development takes and has, dont get me wrong this mod is great but it isn’t anywhere near the level of what the devs do

[@JRC99]

In fairness, the modders don't have fat, stupid, lazy, out of touch corporate suits breathing down their necks demanding they do things a certain way for their bottom line.

[@eyb0ss]

Great job to everyone on the team for this mod as always. Off road physics are very enjoyable as well. Have had fun redoing some of the races again.

Very impressive! We should thank ghost for bringing us these fun racing games albeit having it's share of problems, but thank the modders and unite even more for making good games even greater, excellent even. I didn't purchase payback or heat yet, but there's never been a better time to do it thanks to this! Keep up the awesome work!

[@alberteinstein2195]

The Tune-Up shop actually got tuned up

[@PaoMej]

Awesomeee... increased traffic density! I wish NFS Heat UNITE mod had that too. Cause man that game tends to feel too empty for such a lively looking city full of neon lights and beautiful high rise buildings. It's bad enough that the devs/EA removed AI racers in free roam and left the environment in Heat looking like it was rushed, empty spaces, too repetitive props, lack in so much detail and props that make it feel like a lived in city compared to NFS 2015 and Payback's environments/cities that are brimming in detail and unique areas.

[@viperthegamer8141]

this is the first time a video automatically chose 4k for me, so that means this is a very good good video

[@senshi_dev_art]

I really enjoy the work you are putting into this game, Payback is one of those games i wanted to play but never got to because of how it turned out (plus, my potato pc can't handle it), so seeing it like this really makes me want to play it, now, i have a few questions and suggestions if i can give them: - Are you guys thinking in adding freeroam cops? I don't know if it's possible or how it might turn out, but maybe using something from Heat and implementing it to Payback on that regard? - Will there be more cars? (i know this is something extremely hard to do and takes a lot time to get right, but since we have a wide variety of cars that aren't in the game but are on others, it'd be interesting to see them in game) - Now for the suggestion, with the car dealership, do you guys think you can change the background? maybe act as a second garage where you can view the cars? giving the vibe of MW05 car dealership, because just the empty void with the light on the car feels a bit dull, the game does have personality and i feel it lacks a lot of it with UI at times and other places, with is something Heat fixed later on, so getting that personality to show more of itself would at least make the UI moments look more pleasing to the eye i think and even a part of the world.

[@UNITENFS]

With how restrictive the tools are, “adding” things is basically impossible for the time being. Applies for all the things you listed. The dealership could perhaps work but would take some time

[@senshi_dev_art]

@@UNITENFS Thank you for your answer and honestly, even if it takes some time, just at some point having it would be awesome.

[@StewHeisenberg]

@@UNITENFS Is this because of the Frostbite engine? Frostbite sucks ass from what some developers say, so it wouldn’t surprise me

[@jalanidamu5774]

[@drew5993]

One day I hope you guys can adjust the car shader model itself like E3 beta style in near future (which turned like cartoon-ish in final release). I know it needs a lot of hard work attempt, but who knows...you guys are UNITEd more than ever lol

[@orange3567]

Absolutely amazing!!! I can’t wait

[@jeffvelix]

In Heat, you change the size of the rear wheel on GTR R32 to look normal, can you do the same thing in Payback and NFS15?

[@REBELRAVEBOY]

[@alexj08xy]

Why you don't do a mod for Need For Speed Most Wanted 2012, adding a storyline and customization?

[@Chizou20XX]

Man, I was so glad to see my country's license plate in this game, the Philippine license plate. Btw, I live in the Philippines. Btw, how did UNITE knew about the Philippines? I love how they added the Philippine license plate. Never seen it in Heat yet. Btw, I don't download mods for my NFS Heat game since i'm on PS5, but I've just watched some NFS Heat UNITE mod videos on KZbin. I really love how they modded these NFS games (Heat, 2015, and Payback), and it's not just only the Philippine plate they've added. They even New Jersey, Nevada, Japanese license plate, European Union (or just European license plate, or EU), and some sort of anime license plate i've just spotted in this video. The same anime license plate was also in the NFS Heat UNITE mod.

[@theransomgamer]

You guys are awesome. I can't believe how beautiful this game looks now. I was wondering which Software did you use to record this gameplay, it looks pretty clean and high quality.

[@mr.gingerbread1194]

Absolutely love this! I used to play this alot back on ps4, now i got a good ass pc and bought the game on sale specifically for unite. Nfs 2015 unite is imo still the best to me, drifting in that is solid! With that said, are you guys planning on refining the drifting some more? On lower hp cars (less than 500hp) it feels very wack, front barely wants to turn unless ure in a drift, and it feels as if the differential is just always open, car struggling to go sideways, feeling restricted. Once it goes sideways, its fine tho, its just starting a drift that feels a bit wack. Other than this its solid as heck, thanks for making this and get me to revisit this game!

[@nicolae-alexandruluca7853]

The mods biggest issue is that all cars are insanely rwd, they easily spin out from the smallest mistake, acceleration and turn is a 90% chance to spin the car out of control witch is a detail I don't like, also awd cars can handle acceleration while turning its just that those cars are not present

[@Faycalboukert]

when you drove BMW M3 felt like NFS MW Remake! Great job

[@GucciSmartCarpet]

[@isaiahbenoit2319]

It would be cool to see what you guys could do to a Pixar cars game with realistic graphics and racing with real life nascar tracks and other racetracks with 100% races kinda like the f1 games

[@glitch_finder69]

Wait so if you can turn any car into any spec with the tune up shop does that mean... defender 110 drift build, or maybe a supercar offroad, a hypercar into a speedx car, a 911 gt3 rs into a runner build or maybe a g class into a drag car? 👀

[@TeddyGyro]

Criterion needs to take some notes, only thing I would change is the enhanced turbo sounds, turbo flutter when just barely tapping the gas sounds silly and it would be cool to make backfires on certain cars be deeper or more impacting. The drift bmw sounded great but the amg seemed off to me. Keep up the good work.

[@Subieguy03]

Don't know if that's how the game does it by default. 6:26 the nitrous effect is basically inaudible, can you change it to the one from MW12 or something? 7:15 that echo caused by the flames and the surroundings is way too much, can you tone it down a bit? 18:35 drifting and offroad races look amazing now, but does the AI still have the speed limit? It seems like they can't keep up.
