NFS Unbound - Effects On/Off 

it took them one year... i watched this video so often. it looks so similar to your effect. did you helped em?

Those ridiculous effects is why I didn’t even bother to care about the game

​@@Sl1kzYeah, as always, because EA forced their developer to release their barely-working game as fast as possible.

Fr 🔥😂

Fr bro😂😂

Fr like why that sh*tty beep sound bruh 😭

Some of those obscure things on the side mid race , it's annoying

@@Ike_of_pyke I know it's a strange combination of realistic graphics with anime style effects

@@K-G-S_66 I like it tbh

We agree👍

@@K-G-S_66 I don’t mind the anime characters but the car effects are kind of annoying other then that the game is really good.

Yeah, the idea is really good and technically it fits well, but I think the arty style doesn't match. Why drawing and crosshatching? . . Maybe something like scott pilgrim vs. the world but with less humor? Some motion graphic. . maybe neon lights would also fit.

It looks like something came out from NFS Nitro

Fellow Motion/3D-Artist here. I feel the same but from a gaming perspective it's too much. Having said that, I think this augmented semi-analogue gfx might become a mainstream trend soon. But the games Art Direction is flawless. Not just the effects but also the style in menus and options. Everything is bold, big and it's all very graphic in nature. I love it.

If they would of did the whole world in that Auto Modellista these effects wouldn't be out of place for me.

@@gerulfdosinger9869 unbound shit game

The little crown over the car boggles the mind...

It's sad that some people in corporate world are at so high position with so dumb and unworthy mindset that their some main decisions affects many people.

​@@ZKEntertainmentsmf you can turn them off!!

i think you do have an option to take the effects off

@@frosty4059where is it? I never saw it

​@@frosty4059 no there is no option for that

there is "cloaked" tag which disables most of the effects

@@frosty4059 The Cloaked tag takes off most of the effects, but still leaves the smoke effect

Most wanted style

Love those

It gives nfs carbon vibes tbh. Either way, they really have to make this happen, after seeing how clean this game looks without the effects, it’s hard to just settle for the ”cloaked” or “incognito” effects. This should have been available from the get go.

@@ugolattanzio9152 yea, no one really complained about the Tailight Trails so Criterion added them in with upgrades

Rear headlights? I think u meant taillights Bro 😁

This has never been a problem. On the contrary, full concentration on the car and the road gave pleasure. And these effects are distracting. It's like watching TikTok while driving.

@@ankoe0803 indeed

what kind of perverted logic is that? playng for the sake of playng WAS the fun part.

I wish there were just rear lights themselves, no colorful smoke etc.

As long as EA doesn’t force-rush em’ (in which they do in most cases), I think this is an absolute win.

odds are NB is like mostly a Ghost project till EA shut them down and Criterion finished it up, it'll be interesting to see what a full project from them looks like tho

They haven't changed the physics once the entire series it still feels as arcadey as ever

You can turn them off though....

@@rayfelsinger5970 They always change something in physics and car handling here and there every NFS. Peak gameplay was NFSU2 and NFSMW (Pro Street was also amazing witha mix of arcade and realistic-ish physics)

Well you shouldn't have seen that soooooo Yeah, i'm waiting for more mods for this

@@highoctanesynx7950 no plz dont mod this game the hell out of it like in heat💀

@@youssef1770 console player? lol

Like in Prostreet, that was a nice smoke

@@youssef1770 heat with unite 3 is the best version of what heat could've been Have you seen how different it plays, looks, feels and sounds on unite? it's depressing af when you go back to normal heat after using it - you see what devs couldn't do bc of EA's corporate ass and direction

Same, me too.

there is stealth option its just a gray smoke and nothing else i think

@@117pospisil yeah but the game looks stale with it. If I could it would turn off the smoke and wing effects.

Technically it should be easy to implement an on / off option better yet make it more customizable instead of Only "turn off everything". Let people choose, what they want.

the game has a choice of options for effects

​@@itizwhatitiz9560the stealth turno off the wing

Have you even watched the video ? He showed the game with the effects and without it

If people aren't a fan of the artstyle then they should look for a different game, simple.

@@chickenchan9295 no

@@chickenchan9295 a definite nah...

@@Yueymosthated have you read the description 🤣? the effects were removed via 3rd party tool

Ummm The Crew 2 had the effects first so...we just gonna pretend it doesn't exist

@@torturedkfpemployee883 yes

Better without effect.

@@torturedkfpemployee883 because the crew 2 doesn't really advertise their game as "the world is your canvas" like Unbound. And they are not the main focus in crew 2

Honestly in my opinion not childish since its apart of actual street art

They stay ON during sex

just for the sense of speed

Yeah it brings back to the old era of nfs

I figured since drafting is in the game, then those tail lights are more of guides for drafting rather than just graphics or cosmetics

Need for Speed World Vibes

What's asap?

I had several strokes reading this

​@@azuresapphire220 It's an in-game horn using "beep-beep" voice from A$AP Rocky, a rapper who's also got involved with the game

I hated that sound tho. I just think normal honking sounds better

Beep Beep Left me dead for hours

I agree with you

Nah, without the effects it just looks like a generic racing game to me

@@itslvc5588 as it should lol

@@itslvc5588 Better a generic racing game than turning it into TikTok

@@constipatedparker5879 bruh how do cartoon effects make a game "tiktok" y'all just wanna complain

Reminds me of what COD MW2 is doing Rn making you use certain guns to progress to get certain attachments And in this game making you buy different classes of cars to earn more money if you finish off certain classes of races

@@Ty2late mw2 is ass.

@@Ty2late so just like NFS Heat, build different car for every occasion, Race, Drift, Off-roads

@@snramadhan kinda but there’s definitely less emphasis on drift off road etc cus my race car beats drift events easy. it’s more like car classes (B,A,A+,S,S+) and you build cars to suit the speed of the class if that makes sense

Yes but i wish and a lot of community do it a bit realistic. We was thinking and others that it would be fine and realistic like the NFS™ 2015 or NFS™ PAYBACK and NFS™ HEAT but it looks worse. Remember its my opinion.

Nah

@@georgecharleston2597 Nah my ass it's great

it appears to be garbage. what is this burnout

Yeah great, but half the community is stuck in the early 2000s when their best games existed. Unfortunately, the old games are still that. Heat was awesome. It's all about immersion. This ruins it.

@Cutter. Then it's simply not for you, if you really hate it that much just play Forza, or the old NFS, why do you even play it if you don't like it?

Same here

Same, mainly because this light trails remind me of good old times - Most Wanted 2005

same

@@racingenjoyer shhh don't mention that game you'll piss off the 20 year Olds

@@tylercouture216 As a NFS Carbon player, I can confirm Unbound gives off that nostalgic feeling of those lines coming from the back of the car.

uniquely dumb

unique yes, but in a bad way

@@miroslavkraus1242 how explain?

Beep

Did this video not just showcase the effects on and off?

@@hazzard1983 yes, this is thanks to the use of mods, you can't do that normally

@@deniableorion4880 where can I download the mod to turn off effects?

@@ursolino126 I have no idea, this is the first time I've seen this, most likely a tool

@@ursolino126 Maybe unreal engine unlocker?

heat doesn't count lil bro

Yes

That's good opinion honestly

Nah man even within the target audience, this art style is very controversial.

Who exactly was the target audience people that won't ever play this game lmaoo.

@@G37NYC casul and young ones.

@@darknova1552 I wouldn't consider myself casual or young and I think it looks awesome.

Try the “cloaked” option. It’s supposed to turn the effects off.

Criterion would nail it by giving us an on/off option for every single effect. So let's say, you could turn all effects off, except the wings when jumping

The game looks like shit. It has no real artstyle, no aesthetic. A shitty cel shader for character models and a couple of comic VFX for the cars, that's it. Instead of fully committing to the comic style or simply sticking to realism this game did neither. The voice acting is awful, the driving, at least looks, awful too.

I think it's safe to say they'll add the option to turn them on and off in a future update

the game is crap, overwhelmed fanboy

@@dawnfm00 can't deny I'm a fan of the series, but neither am I a blind fanboy of the series. Heat was mediocre, Payback was dogshit, 2015 was uninteresting, and Rivals was a-okay. Some of the games in the series aren't even worth mentioning (Hello Undercover and Nitro) Unbound is good, the effects are good, the handling is good, the car list is great. I got a lot of value out of 15 dollars, and have only minor complaints. This is probably the best NFS in the last decade, it just feels finished and is fun to play, hell, even the multiplayer is relatively functional. It's a solid 8-8.5/10 imo

GORGEOUS!!!

That reminds me of burnout 3 with that sense of speed.

Those effects do not really fit in the game. If they really really wanted to add them, they should've made them togglable from the very beginning. So those like you who like those effects could turn them on, and those like me who don't like them could leave them turned off.

same. Its oddly satifying at times

- People who judge things at first sight and then realise they over reacted.

@@lilmario0 well you are judging this comment at first sight

@@cyzo Nice try. Next

@@lilmario0 bro like half of the player base was clowning the game just to switch up🤡

Bro I hate them I’m so happy I can turn them off the only effects I like is the light and wind trails everything else can go especially that stagnant smoke I want real smoke like Forza and like black smoke too

@@redhunnid5142 like forza? Forza doesnt have smoke effects like at all my dude and they are basic sprites at best. What you actually want is the physics based smoke from nfs prostreet

It's kinda cringy and forced. If the general art style was a initialDesque one, they would fit. But mixing realistic with child-drawn art style is simply not working well.

No I'm good they are trash

@@topsecret433 did you play the game ? By only watching it i was turned off by it too but when you play they are actually kinda cool. Watching it still bothers me

They are awful 😂

@@cristianoreddevil9736 depends on the car u use it on tho

Right, some people are always looking for a ultra realistic racing game/ sim but sometimes forget that NFS isn’t really known for that, this game kind of brings that arcade feel back

@@Emkaiii The nfs games got way too arcade imo. The first era of nfs still had some physics. Now you're even a tank which mows down guard rails like paper.

Yes sir I am so glad nfs is back in full glory. Fantastic game

its graphically worse than NFS 2015, check your eye sight

What is wrong with you

@@Mentalex0 nah man that's you 2015 looks generic its only night, constant rain and mute colors. Meanwhile unbound has a semi-day&night cycle with day time looking beautiful every moment and night being more appealing than 2015. While also having its own art style to separate from the rest when 2015 didn't have one. Criterion knows how to make a game look good just take a look at HP(2010) and MW12 they still look like they came out this year but are a decade old same with burnout's art style still keeping those games from not looking old and dated.

The only thing I don't like is the physics rely on weird drifting too much or maybe thats just me

EA will either eventually give an update for it or someone will make a mod for it soon.

Yes. Turn off just the smoke.

Smh people being difficult just for the sake of being difficult 😒

The smoke looks good during night

@@rsh650 my point still stands, what about yours

They did

@@user-ns5cs8rd7z when tho? Last time I checked there was no option in game to turn these effects off

As far as i know, There is a (minimal) option or something along those lines, But no way to turn them off completely. No, I have not played the game, That's just what i've heard Kuru say in one of his videos. He knows enough about NFS games that i trust his word for it. Bur for now i'm only passing that on. I do agree with Gabriel though, I like the graffiti styled look, Because i like graffiti. Simple as that. But for it would be a nice if there was an option to turn them off completely, For the sake of those who don't like it but still want to play the game. What i absolutely hate though, Is that it often doesn't even seem to matter if one likes it or not. Those who like it get hate from those who dislike it, And the same goes for the other way around.

@@The_One_Over_There the effects aren't that bad nor distracting though. I don't see how it's the sole reason that's stopping people from playing one of the best NFS games in a while.

@@GradivusGFX facts

XD

@@muhammadrameezfareed5138 but it says in the description its a "3rd party tool" and right now there's no way to turn off all the effects.

@@muhammadrameezfareed5138 its not an option its a third party tool lol, there is no option to turn these effects off

Y'all don't remember pro street, Forza had to learn from NFS!!

@@porscheguy6972 forza learnt from gran turismo. Not pro street.

@@porscheguy6972 yes for 2007 prostreet looked so next gen, still looks good today. Shame it can't be legally purchased

@@porscheguy6972 how would that make sense when Forza motorsports has existed before pro street..

Fh5 smoke is literally 2D cloud . Its very notable when played on low graphics or on high fov .

I was just going to make a post about that I really do not like how the exhaust flames look in this game.

Yea but tbh i was hoping we would get something like this mod that turns them off completely

Agreed
