The Need for Speed Most Wanted Remaster We'll Never Get... 

Sadly a lot of people are too nostalgic for the original graphics (or haven't seen the original graphics in quite a while) that they completely dismiss these RTX mods, when they genuinely make the games look better (yes, even Underground 1 and 2, despite them being less complete than this mod at this moment) The reflections, the shadows especially under cars and such, it looks SO much better that it's actually insane that it's possible

6:38 Razor, he shadowed me! I- SHUT UP. I'll crash his game.

The original atmosphere is still the best

15:44 - this looks amazing. It's the same vibe but quietly upgraded. Damn

The one thing I never understood was that, big AAA publishers who plan on making Remasters dont ask fans who've actually made Remastered Mods such as the Need For Speed: Underground Definitive Edition mod, all EA would need to pay for is the license for the music, cars and the actors likeness, as well as Paying the original mod maker for it, it would save money and development time

Ronnie: "how's your car running?" Theo: "VERY WELL, THANK YOU!" 😅 Theo never fails to bring back nostalgia of NFS Most Wanted!

This game now looks better than the fake most wanted 2 thumbnails 😅

The atmosphere is what made it look cool I hope the remake doesn't end up being 100% sunny through out the game

Idk why but all these rtx mods make the game fake. the reflections are good but cars are still 19 years old😂😂

90%+ of me actually don't want an official NfS Most Wanted Remaster because I know for a fact that they will screw it up. This masterpiece of a street racing game should be remembered for what it is and a lackluster remaster would just leave a bad taste in my mouth. The modders are true mvp's for adding stuff that we've been wanting for this game.

12:56 What if you wanted to enjoy RTX but Cross said “EVERYONE!”

13:01 "You alerted the horde!"

I still prefer the OG art style of the game. These mods, while they do make the game look incredible, (apart from the car paint either being too shiny or too flat) it takes away a big element of what made these games so special.

Besides the garage, the RTX remaster just looks worse IMO. Cohesive artstyle beats fancy lighting and graphics anytime.

What need it is a Player/ Ryan cooper remaster story arc, were each game is a story dlc expantion. Also have a playable offline mode of all the other games expanding the wourld even more. Maby if possible have a dbadge mode to keep the game playable online.

pants needs to do a another full play through with this remix

WoW! A livestream AND a Nfs Mw video? Theo, u never cease to amaze me. Love ur content and keep it up ❤❤

I swear these "rtx" mods just ruin the lighting and make the game look like payback 💀

well this is the most close and accurate lighting i've seen for this game

5:11 never noticed Razor has angry eyelids on his mustang unless that’s apart of the mod that’s honestly sick

I'm glad you made that point about motion blur, personally I think it's one of the things that has the biggest effect on the sense of speed in a racing game, along with FOV and road/track width.

13:55 needs to be a thumbnail 😂😂😂

13:09 Bruh where did all those cops come from lol

13:14 Bro hit heat level six instantly😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

only thing I miss is the NOS blur effect otherwise looks very good

I like it when you retten off the police cars

I like it when car rams and Need for Speed Most Wanted and in Burnout

I prefer the original graphics with or without the yellow filter. The RTX Remix looks dull and distorts the vibe of Rockport.

Need for Speed Most Wanted has come a long way since 2005. It's awesome!!!

If EA throws this without buggy things at 70$ I'm fully sending it.

There's a distinct thing that I want to point out: The composition. Yes, the RTX mod improves on lighting - no wonder, it is much more advancecd technology. But when watching it side by side, I can only state that the composition of dark and rusty down & outlaw gets lost comlpetely. It is this that I makes NFS MW 05 iconic. When the game would have released with the RTX lighting, it probably would not be as iconic as it is now and if the RTX mod strips away the sense of speed and dark composition that defines the Outlaw factor in Most Wanted, it will simply not feel the same. Ultimately, graphics do not matter. Yes - I said it. They do not. Because a style of graphics does not define a genre as many games point out these days. The ambience and the composition of lights and colors will be what you remember together with what you experienced - the gameplay, not how well shaded the brake light was on your car. Because after the 2nd turn it does not matter to you. If this mod comes out they need to make sure that they can keep the soul of the composition. Otherwise I will stand by the original post-processing, as it just transmits what Most Wanted was. A game that was about pure escalation and destruction and that took itself seriously on that mindset in color, sound and gameplay. After all post processing is built to hide imperfections and with the new lighting of the RTX mods, the world feels emptier and a lot more dated because of the lack of detail that becomes visible.

Reminds me of "Core X Most Wanted", which was a fan remake of Most Wanted using the Unity engine. And like almost all fan-remakes of 3D games, it's abandoned at a very early state. Even the download they provided is also gone because it's Discord-only and the server was no longer, IIRC.

I think as impressive as this mod is, it makes it look like every other contemporary racing game out now. Something I feel those old NFS games did well was create a visual language with each of their games. UG was very Fast and Furious inspired so late night cities with bright neons. MW leaned heavily into the 2000s punk, edgy aesthetic (with a bit of Matrix thrown in). Carbon was Most Wanted but set in a cooler Vegas inspired town at night. Stripping away those vibes kind of removes their feel. I wish these mods tried ro recapture the vibes as well, not just make everything realistic

AWESOME!!!

Tf2's sniper would be proud of all that *PISS*

I once had a dream about need for speed most wanted remastered but the advert on TV said "Need for speed most wanted remastered only on xbox one." And I was like WHAT why not on PS4!!

It looks much cleaner Good to go Pants😮🎉😂❤

Ronny:howz your car running😂😂 Black panther: very well thanks you😂😂

3:25 Yes, I miss driving to the different locations. It gave it a sense of realism.

2005 nfs most wanted is one of the gratest games of all time

Want this yesterday. It looks incredible. Will be firing up the old 360 in the meantime!

My favorite part was when all the cops showed up ... :D wouldnt want to be that guy who's in that much trouble with the law :D hahaha

I think the best thing to do with these rtx mods is to wait until they are polished and finished to get the best experience and that they maybe if possible to be able to run on other graphiccards outside the nvidia family

My favorite thing about the cops was how realistic they were, if you obeyed the speed limit they didn’t come after you. Now you can go past a cop at 235 “I think I spot that racer” (proceeds to drive 55mph eating a donut)

1:03 why you give the game a golden shower😮‍💨

Nice mod. One small issue: The original looks epic, no matter how low res it is, the mods cannot achieve that

They would definitely need to rework the LoD culling on the map to not have shadows pop in all over the place for a remaster.

would be cool if EA was able to bring this back in an updated/remastered Need for Speed Most Wanted Legacy. Which has the original Most Wanted campaign brought back. Maybe add a few new challenges, etc. As well, would be cool if they did a Need for Speed World mode which has the Most Wanted, Carbon, and the Most Wanted 2012 worlds. So can do the whole online game mode but there is the main original campaign that can be played through. but they did hint at Razor in the Unbound in the BMW mission

Very cool video black panthaa

I looked up to see if there was any way I could run this on my pc... my pc pulled a gun on me 💀

Recommending Zolika's Trainer which provides the 360 camera around the car.

the remaster is amazing but there are no tire marks on the road when the car is going side ways

I feel like the modding community should be in charge of the franchise. Not EA or Criterion…

It's nearly perfect just gotta be a bit more Gritty like a Daytime Version of 2015

Bro said “I have a 4080 so you can run it better” 😭😭😭 really hope my 3060 can hold, unite mod does amazing

I just finished playing this literally 3 hours ago. They've never made a better one than this, bro!! Every other NFS game... Well nothing is better than most wanted period!

The OG looks better Once it gets retextured maybe that’ll change since the current new lighting just highlights the imperfections

We need a NFS Prostreet remaster that'd be fire imo.

This is why the modding community in NFS is straight up the best. They fill in the void that EA will never give us. The Modding community is better than Criterion at this point.

Looks incredible. Just needs more dark and gritty filters 😄

This looks really good, but I'd have to see it with the more dark/overcast time of day (like you showed in the original graphics comparison. I'm not sure if this completely recaptures the look of the original as it stands (not to disparage this mod, it is an impressive change).

This is what MW looked to me when I was 12 😄

Banging, Keep up the good work

RTX remix will be the future of gaming... this will give people so many chances to play old games without being surprised by the graphics or resolution...

When the devs and EA won’t do it… the people will. HUGE props to the modding community for doing this, and for the masterpiece that Heat Unite was!!

If EA was smart enough, they would re-release The Most Wanted closest to the original, not the 2012 version… Same story line, new cars, and basically just the same old NFS formula. No gimmicky graphics or FX, just pure cop-run racing game. Underground or Carbon remake would also be great, or if possible just continue the storyline from there… I get alot of new fans tell to older fans to move on, but I do believe NFS lost its flair ever since Carbon ended. NFS 2015 was the best closest game that we can get similar to Underground / Most Wanted… I refuse to buy any NFS game unless they start and listen to their fans, even if they go 75% off.

You know what EA could do and it'll be a banger? They can make one called NFS World League and you can play through different time periods of each NFS game and your custom character will meet each character/bosses

It already looks like a proper remaster

Missing wind looks great

It’s made the graphics incredibly better

Most Wanted 05 was the light one. It just had a yellow hue. Carbon was the one that was dark all the time

Gotta love the old n gold stuffs 😂. Somethings are better left untouched

Now we need this for NFS World since it's practically a remaster of this.

yeah man i love waiting until someone confronts me to add credit to one description

Hey blackpanthaa neat video. Yeah in my opinion nfs most wanted 2005 nfs underground 1 and are my favourite nfs games of the early to mid 2000s and hot pursuit 2 is too. I like nfs carbon too but nfs most wanted has a fuller fledged career mode in my opinion. It has better progression in my opinion. Yes i hear you too the game is addicting to play. I find the cops to get quite aggressive in the later career mode. The pursuits are quite punishing as when you unlock the higher heat levels they deploy roadblocks with spike strips. Those are a deathtrap. Once you hit them its game over and its an immediate bust. Whats also punishing is if you get busted more than once if you exceed the limit of impound strikes you lose your car i think. You can get up to a maximum of 5 impound strikes if you get them beating a blacklist rival. I dont mean to spoil it. Its a fun game. I think the physics work well. Youre right blackpanthaa the motion blure is good in those games. In my opinion too it helps give you a sense of speed. I dont mean to badmouth nfs carbon its a fun game but the career mode is too short its much shorter than nfs most wanted. If you rush through it could take less than a day to complete. For example i think it could take 3 and a half to 4 hours if you rush through the game. Nfs most wanted takes days in my opinion. Its a fun game i just wish in my opinion it had a more dense career mode. With those new rtx mods i think the game looks more modern. If you iron out the kinks like the cop lights not flashing and other glitches it might look even more improved than that. I like the game in its original graphics i think the best console for it is the xbox 360 one. I think the graphics are the most sharp on that. I know its not regarded as a good need for speed game but i kind of like nfs undercover on ps3 and xbox 360. I think its a bit underrated its not perfect. I dont mean to be excessivly critical if it had more development i know apparently ea split blackbox games into 2 teams one that made nfs pro street and the other one made nfs undercover. If it had development time it maybe would be more polished than it is. In my opinion i think nfs undercover and nfs the run are the better nfs games of the late 2000s and early 2010s. I think nfs the run although i wish it had a longer career mode is the best game since nfs undercover that blackbox made before they shut down. But i do think that nfs most wanted 2005 is a gem of a beginning of open world racing games with a more dense career mode in my opinion. Take care blackpanthaa and i look forward to future videos.

it looks better but i guess still the Color Temperature need more work and correction .

Someone needs to put my guy onto the kingslayer M3 gtr sound mod. They got the sound nearly accurate to the irl car.

It looks clean but i still prefer the xbox 360 graphics it makes me to get involved myself more into the game idk

original looks better

I always had a thing for the sls AMG. I just love that model, especially the McLaren collab

a remake of mw 05 just like TUFU (UG2) is actually happening but obv still in works

Petition for them to make Most Wanted 2004 Remaster with RTX + Path Tracing

I can only imagine how pro street will look like with these graphic fixes

I like the dirty industry skybox in the Original actually. They should bring that skybox in the rtx remix .

Can't wait to turn my gaming laptop into an airfryer!

This looks like those fan made trailers graphics that’s fuckin crazy

Imo, this is what Nfs Most Wanted 2012 should have been.

The original looks like Gotham but it hits you in the feels when you see it.

wow looks like a Remaster cool

This game bring back memories, how are you able to get the game to work on your pc? Love your videos, keep up the good work and have yourself an amazing time in Rockport!

Tbh i am glad that we never got a "Remastered" like that. It looks way too desaturated and bright. MW 2005 mostly lived from the dark industrial autumn atmosphere.

Kuru is foaming at the mouth right now.

im gonna throw out a prediction right now, were gonna get most wanted remastered on the 20th anniversary of MW which holy shit its nearly been 20 years... the thought hurts my back..

To be honest i like the darker sky on the older game👀

love ur vids

Someone needs to redesign this game with a team using a new game engine. Then hire Blender animators or something to do cutscenes. Then release it as a mod that costs 20$ or something

It just looks brighter

WE NEED A LRTS PLAY ON THIS

Am I crazy to say that original still looks better? I mean, don’t get me wrong, the updated looks clean and nice but the original just has a vibe, atmosphere that doesn’t need to be changed

Big love pants❤
