This is a biggie for me, and is a fundamental issue in some of the biggest games, even the likes of the Gran Turismo series. The game generally nips along at a fine old pace, but the slowdown is really noticeable when it rains, which is a shame and really detracts from the gaming experience.ĭamage modeling in the game is non-existent, a head on crash into a wall at 150 mph resulting in no visible damage at all. The weather effects, which really just amount to when it rains, are not particularly well done and are certainly not worth the huge framerate hit suffered at the time. The city looks convincingly realistic, although a little blocky in places. The stars of the show, the cars, look fantastic particularly when modded to the hilt (more later). The graphics in this game really are a mixed bag to say the least. How will this compare to the competition out there at the moment in the crowded genre of racing games? As the title suggests, EA have decided to stick with the late night street racing theme for this game following the commercial success of Need for Speed Underground on all formats last year. menus are in the making and already working partially but not shown here.Need for Speed Underground 2 is the latest in the long line of Need for Speed games from EA Games.drift zones (these blue red white striped decals) are used for additional multipliers along with speed for the drift score.music from UG1, UG2, MW is implemented.destructible environment (signs, water barrels…).traffic node system(you cannot see but it is there).optimized graphics for much better performance and an overall more pleasant look.every island has a distinctive colorization.depending on the game mode this may change in the future. It’s still in the making and a lot of tweaking, strongly depends on slip angle and traction, these values are changed depending on the speed to allow arcade-y driving behaviour and nice drifts at low speed. drastically changed driving behaviour.

turbo, sweetener, engine, and transmission sounds are done and “picked” depending on the performance upgrade.earn NOS back by doing some stuff (airborne, powerslide, almost crash…).Need for Speed Underground 2 Remake in Unreal Engine 4 Features Car:
