Re: Need for speed underground 2 remake!!

I get it that remaster of older NFS games would be a problem due to licensing issues. Maybe doesn’t have to be the remaster of the exact game. I mean would it be too much to ask to, say, remake NFSU2 with a few different cars to the original, and use the same recipe (physics, story, career mode progression, level of customisation and maybe the same open world map) of the old game. Like I said I my previous comment, what I miss the most is the physics and the driving experience/control feel of the NFSU2.

Yep, guess I had some concepts confused and what I said didn’t make much sense because of this? My wishful thinking anyway. Just really miss the old U2 engine so much that I can’t drop this new age graphics with old handling/content combination idea out of my head. If this fake Criterion is taking notes from fans, I hope they come up with something before I step into my own grave. 😂

I hope they can some how pull this off.

Now with the release of Hot Pursuit 2010 remastered, if it does well, maybe they'll look into the older games. 

Also, Toyota and Mitsubishi decided to play ball with Forza Horizon 4, so maybe they'd be open to getting some money from some older NFS games. 

For now, I just want them to put out a raytracing update for the Series X, PS5, and PC for this HP2010 Remaster.  That would be so awesome. 

EA just needs to redo the game with updated graphics.  It's been so long since the original NFS U2 came out, they would easily sell this game to a new generation of gamers and have us old-timers buying it for nostalgia's sake.  I loved that game and played the heck out of it.  They have never quite captured the fun and charm of that game since.  I've tried some of the other NFS games along the way but they've mostly left me wanting to play Underground 2 instead.

Just a small correction.

Black Box was shut down back in 2013. (2012 - 2013 as Quicklime Games for NFS World)

But World was shut down in 2015 when NFS2015 launched as an online only game. Not 2013,so Quicklime name was used during 2012-15.

Yea, NFS World did get permanently shut down on July 14, 2015. That's right.

But this was just the game by itself. The developers of the game (Black Box / QuickLime Games) got shut down on April 25, 2013.

After QuickLime Games got shut down, the responsibility of the game transferred to Easy Studios (the devs of Battlefield Heroes and Battlefield Play4Free) and then transferred again to a "Vancouver Task Force" that consisted of both old Black Box / QuickLime Games devs and new devs.
