I really enjoyed that trailer haha, just the right tone/amount of cheesiness. Great way to explain the content with in-world text as well. Better than some crap montage at the end thats totally out of context with the live action at the beginning.

Now its time for the gammer pedant shit, wtf was there no motion blur? lol

I'm guessing you loved it too? Fair enough mate.

 

[AV]

Wonder if my Steam copy gets a free upgrade. Surely on PC I can just bump that shit up myself? Never even started it up before.

 

[Bojanglez]

So anti-consumer

/s

 

[KyoZz]

Look almost identical to the PC version, with an effective AA this time.

40 euros I guess ?

 

[MMaRsu]

Did they forget to put the hd gameplay in the trailer? Otherwise very excited

I tried it 2018 and I had problems with stuttering and weather effects visually missing (still affected the driving in the same way though) + some framerate issues so I just left it until something like this happened.

 

[Unknown?]

Is this even good? I skipped out on it initially because it looked like burnout with an NFS wrapper. Don't get me wrong I love burnout but I don't want to play it with an NFS branding.

 

[The Cockatrice]

The marketing team needs to rethink their life choices. What the fuck was that trailer?

 

[gamerguywashere]

shit yeah!...if they do a solid job on the first code without release day patches, I might need the cart


i was just thinking i need a good arcade racer on switch and while the gimmick of mario kart live is badass, i just don't give a shit

“Get cross-platform multiplayer and Autolog, enhanced visuals, all main DLC delivered at launch, and much more. It’s time to reignite the pursuit.”

Also....

“Depending on your specifications, 4K/60 FPS is supported on PC, and players can choose between 4K/30 FPS or 1080p/60 FPS on PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X. Base versions of PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will run the game at 1080p/30 FPS. In addition to the listed improvements for the Nintendo Switch version, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC versions are also updated with upressed UI, higher resolution reflections, boosted textures, more particles, and improved AA/SSAO.”

GamePass yo

 

[Futaleufu]

Was that James Deen at 1:39?

 

[VisualFidelity]

where are the graphical improvements lol

 

[Mista]

WHERE IS UNDERGROUND???!!!!

 

[spartan30gr]

1080p/60 frames on both ps4 pro,and xbox one x,and 1080p./30 on ps4 pro and xbox one
I hope to see an update fot the next gen machines

 

[Black_Stride]

That was a really cool trailer....but this remaster looks lazy for PC players.
Just give us a patch with the .ini edits that has higher particles and AO.

We know crossplay can be patched into games so that isnt something that need to charge us for.

 

[Nikana]

Most Wanted (05, not that 2012 junk) or GTFO, FIGHT ME

 

[Cyborg]

Easy Money, Lazy Work?

 

[gamerguywashere]

please tell me i can use my switch in handheld mode as a steering wheel

i know it makes seeing the screen a little harder sometimes, but i fucking love motion controls in fps...seems like racers would be badass too

 

[Orta]

The absolute STATE of that fucking ad. If I wasn't aware of how good a game HP is that ad would have me dismiss it out of hand. Typical EA shite.

Anywho, depending how much an upgrade it is I'll get it again for PC. Definitely buying the Switch version though, be a blast to have a game like that on a portable system.

 

[Trogdor1123]

That's an ad for NFS?

 

[gamerguywashere]

wait, cross-platform online is cool, but that definitely means patches...digital it is

 

[RAIDEN1]

Key question is, can you play your own custom tracks?!

 

[TGO]

One of the best none Underground NFS.
Heat is pretty good too

 

[Orta]

Hmm. Nice but not exactly RE2 Remake level.....

 

[John Mullins]

Heat is a steaming turd.

 

[CrysisFreak]

Day one.

 

[The_Mike]

I can understand a remaster to console, but it's cheesy they re release the exact same game on pc.

 

[skneogaf]

I still play the normal version on pc at 8k down sampled to 4k@60fps, I absolutely love it.

 

[R6Rider]

Heat is a steaming turd.

Nope. If you said MW 2012, then I'd agree.

Didn't mind the trailer, just the right amount of cheesy-ness.

 

[AgentP]

Isn't this already a PS4/XB1 game? What is remastered?

 

[YuLY]

Hot Pursuit was a really good NFS game, but I cannot help but feel that for some reason, EA just avoids remastering Underground 2. Do we actually have an explanation why we havent got one yet? everywhere I look, thats the most beloved one from the entire francise.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Good commercial.

I don't think they've ever given a statement on it. I would like an Underground 1+2 remaster like THPS1+2. I'm sure licensing issues would be fairly minor (music and cars).

 

[diffusionx]

I have the old game on Steam, it looks and runs fine, except for the online system. What is this new one bringing for PC that flipping the servers back on would not?

 

[KyoZz]

WHAT A GAME CHANGER ! I am truly shocked !

Edit:
I was about to say at least the game is the same, it is no less beautiful unlike Spider-Man PS5, and then i saw the rain on the remastered (it is more obvious in the video above)

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Hot Pursuit was such a good game by Criterion, day one in the remaster!

Underground 2 would probably need a full remake. It's from what, 2003?

This is one of those "PC version ported to the newer consoles" jobs that is a lot quicker and easier.

I was about o post this as well..... I was like 'WTF IS THIS?!?" Literally identical...

 

[CrysisFreak]

I was about o post this as well..... I was like 'WTF IS THIS?!?" Literally identical...

It's not identical, but yeah it's a remaster not a remake.
This is basically for PlayStation and Xbox players so we can play in 60fps.
The PC version doesn't need a remaster in the first place anyway so there you go.

 

[HarryKS]

Best videogame trailer I've seen in a while.

 

[KyoZz]

It's not identical, but yeah it's a remaster not a remake.

They still charge PC gamers with a price tag of 30 euros

Will the game support over 60FPS? Like 120FPS?

 

[Fake]

After Crysis Remastered and Dragon Quest XI S everything is possible, right?

 

[CrysisFreak]

They still charge PC gamers with a price tag of 30 euros

And you shouldn't buy it? No one cares about the 12 pc keks who fall for it.

Will the game support over 60FPS? Like 120FPS?

I very very very much doubt it.
Original has a 60fps cap.

 

[KyoZz]

And you shouldn't buy it? No one cares about the 12 pc keks who fall for it.

With this kind of thinking, EA will never change. And I think they could have done a better remaster on console too like REAL high res new textures, HDR support, corrected TOD and shadows, better SSAO implementation and more
And I'll add that maybe EA is testing the water for a follow up ? If so and the remaster sells poorly what happens ? I really loved this episode but I wont buy that lazy work.

WTF is wrong with those trees!?

Thats true, but it still has to be more of a safer thing to do than all these new ones right ? I imagine the community would overwhelmingly choose Underground 2 remake instead of Payback, Heat or The Run... Its just weird they havent done it yet.
