do this with nfs heat
@TDU Pursuit Heat it has physics, just because they are arcade like doesnt mean they arent there
Mafia 2, and even GTA 5 with worse physics than GTA 4 are better than this 0:20
@@DualPerformance you expect to fling in the air when you drive On a higher surface? Clown
0:50 “is this more realistic or not?” While the Payback X6 is clipping half way through the barrier
So true
@@djs.b9702 ty for pointing out the typo
I would say Unbound is slightly more realistic even if you don't usually get stuck on that, it's more realistic than the clipping and sudden instant jump up from payback. High center is a real thing anyway so Unbound seems to make that seem to be the case more accurately.
Awd car should get stuck though
Its from 2017 give it a break
I hate how easy it is to break a metal guardrail in unbound. Those things are solid in real life, takes a high speed to get through it (if you miss a post holding it in the ground) but unbound you can just drive through it like a piece of string
There's so many things you can do in nfs that you can't do in irl 💀
@@igotnoodlesgold9193 yeah but things like this break the immersion the barriers should be stronger
@@hitune you play play Forza for stuff like that not nfs
Yeah whats the point? It made the game to damn easy
It's to make the game feel a bit more "open" as I would put it
Forza started doing this too since Horizon 4
Nfs payback psychics just more realistic. Instead of just blowing up, they are literally broke in payback
Well yes it it, but some downgrades had to be made to make the game a stable 60fps since a lot more is also going on in unbound.
How’s payback has better physics? Well unbound has some not only drift but now you can build yourself grip builds. Cars that grip instead of drift at least that’s somewhat realistic but still they’re all arcade games.
@@emaadally5658 from the context of the comment, I'm pretty sure he meant breaking of barriers/fences and how they just disappear in unbound.
@@nitopygameplays ohh ok , got you.
@@emaadally5658 you could already do that in NFS 2015 (you could slide between full drift or full grip or set multiple sliders towards either drift or grip)
0:51 nahhh its probably more realistic to have a small amount of explosive under the axles to lift your car up a sidewalk
lol
Yes yes, its a must-have nowadays
The comparison entirely is quite impressive, especially the graphics and sound design, not to mention, physics.
In the end it's a racing game not openworld gta so not every non-racing related detail and physics matter
It should matter at some point. You wanna immerse yourself to illegal street racing then you gotta get the right feeling for the game's world. A car's suspension reacting properly to a bump isn't that too much to ask for and I'm glad Unbound thought of that.
Exactly, it's not GTA, that means the cars should be twice as detailed and have better physics than GTA's
It does matter if you're paying $70
I disageee, just because it's a racing game doesn't it mean cannot be classified an open world game. They have been doing this since Underground 2 being the first open world NFS game
Take for exemple the Driver games from the PS1. Most of the time you're racing against the time or running away from the police. Yet similar to GTA but the main focus of Driver are the driving and the chases.
8:24
Pictures taken just before disaster...
In Unbound it’s basically always a video of disaster lol.
Unbound finish be like "ohh he crashed ohh lets zoom in we got to see that up close!" Lol
In NFS Payback it is actually possible that bots talk to you during the race but only the gang leaders. I don't know how it is in Unbound but at least you have some talks in Payback.
in unbound theres race dialogue with whoever you betted against, and also if you pass someone or crash into them
Honestly payback did it better when it comes to racer dialogue, unbound has more but it’s nothing but cringey shit like “I’m not about to let you take my money!” And many other things that are cringe… even our character says a lot of cringey things
@@Boba_Fett1980 even the cops are corny af now
@@aarons0z992 they had an almost perfect cop system in heat, but criterion doesn’t know what the fuck they’re doing and instead of perfecting heats cops decided to throw them away and replace them with their extremely annoying at best unbound cops. Can’t believe it’s the same developers who made hot pursuit, which has an infinitely superior cop system
@@Boba_Fett1980 I disagree, Payback dialogue is way more cheesy. It's not even close.
0:15 AWD left the chat
I really liked Payback, in my opinion it's the second best NFS of the last generation after Rivals, too bad the game had so many microtransactions.
Did they ever fix that? Really wanted to play it, but that turned me off on it
@@TomClancy-cq5om It's been a few years since I last played and the microtransactions were completely optional but they were still there, I can't check now as my console has stopped working
Rivals is not need for speed with 0 story and dumb af power ups. But i agree payback is real good
@@JAYV45_ I don't care much about the story because they aren't very good in racing games, my favorite NFS is Hot Porsuit too, no story, just racing, same thing with Bornout and Blur, I like the powers of Rivals and is the closest game to Hot Porsuit.
Payback is ass. Whoever says it's good may want to look a little closer.
If you don't mind, can you do a part 2 of this?
I would like to see more comparisons like;
Max dirt (similar to max damage),
Nitrous (how it exits the exhaust),
Burnouts,
Tire marks (when doing burnouts, drifting, or braking),
AI's road sense (when coming in an intersection, do they stop? And if you were to drive normally, are they going the speed limit? I found Payback's speed to be really slow, around 25 mph, give or take),
Ragdoll/Crash Physics,
Turbo Flutter,
Wheelies,
etc
Ok Mr. Director
yeah and i would like to see you wire 100$ to my bank account
Payback, the last time without bullshit car's life bar... also, almost nothing separates the two for the graphics, in 5 years.
You’re clearly blind then
@@rainegingerfish8860 Well when you zoom to 10cm in front of some textures, theres a difference in the blur, thats all. I won't call that much...
@Raine Gingerfish The graphics aren't dramatically changing anymore. Now if you compare the PS1 to PS2. You can easily see the difference. Today? Not so much
the only thing i liked about payback was the canyon roads for drifting.. everything else i was completely fine with. or hated.
Mhmmm off road was ass.
@@Morgorath30 payback off road is still better than heat off road. at least payback had a lot of challenging circuits like the ones where you had to go trough the canyons, while most of the circuits in heat were all in wide open areas
Drifting in Payback is the best. Heat has everything else.
Payback perhaps has the best vehicular weight physics
It got the runner stuff aswell
I'm so sad to see what happens to NFS... Used to be one of the best racing arcades. Now? Even Forza Horizon 3 (2016) works better then these 2.
And it looks like Horizon is following the same path. What game will save us now?
@@DelphoxNotFound hope the crew will be better
@@DelphoxNotFound maybe test drive unlimited crown or perhaps the fan base community deciding to create it's own game
nah NFS crap since PSone era, what they sell just graphics
@@Bloomsberrybubble that first part is a lie and you know it
And the police saying "this guy can't drive" when you crash during a chase is hilarious in Unbound
dude chose the one spot in payback where the curb did that with that one vehicle
NFS Payback with the ''Sutututu Mod'' its just a masterpiece. I really enjoyed that game, Race are kinda complicated and sense of speed is OP...
BTW, We are all wrong if we are searching for realism in a NFS game
Yes. It was never meant to be like Forza, GT or others. But Criterion just keep on making pseudo Burnout games
I love how they pretty much nailed the S63B44T2 sound
In reality if you have coilovers your wheel don't sag like it did in nfs they actually stay close to the wheel well.
Something that I really dislike about unbound is the anime like characters. They don't go well with the realistic graphics.
Idk man, that's the aesthetic.
I don't mind cuz it's not even like i even look at my character or pay attention to it 🤷♂️
I feel like if they wanted to go with the aesthetic they should of actually went with it, the cars and graphics should of been anime like too, it really just feels like a mod was placed over NFS heat
It’s not anime 🤦♂️
@@Nick_MG Bad aesthetic then
nsf payback is always in the heart
Keep those microtransactions to yourself
@@smolltaco5667 maybe that's not why, but I know how micro transactions ruined the game...
Nfs Payback with Nfs Unbound Drifting physics would be great
4:55 I didn't get it. is the lighting just a little different here, or do they really re-draw models from them and the same cars every time?
Great video I subscribed
I don't understand the joy in seeing if the two NFS titles are realistic or not. The whole point of NFS is that it's supposed to be arcady and not realistic.
Exactly. Want realism? Go play Forza. Want fun and arcade? NFS. There's a reason Mario Kart is the all time great racing franchise alongside NFS. Arcade fun.
unbound’s graphics is most colorful but payback is looks more realistic
nope
Unbound looks cartoonish
More realistic: Jumping 100 m long wothout having any problem
0:38 Leo's doing Hydraulics on the Ford F-150 Raptor Lion Rubber
0:19 BMW X4's 2 Front Wheels spinning like a spinning Weapon and a Fidget Spinner
The first thing was legit just 1 of the few spots where it glitches like that😂 usually it's all fine and has a normal hitbox
Payback & Heat - Win :)
the 2 worst nfs titles out of the 2015+ era
@@srteo0 2 the best NFS + with NFS 2015 for Me pff lol , with Frostbite-editing ofc .
Nice video , please do another one with Nfs Heat vs Unbound.
payback made in 2017 vs unbound made in 2022
Nhf hot pursuit from 2000 has better physics.

Soon brother
Don't worry bro repacks are coming soon
Every time when I watch such a video, I want to ask to add additional comparison with a real car :) It will be cool to see how the real car reacts to the same actions:))
RIP NFS the best NFS MOSTWANTED,CARBON,THE RUN the old is the best ❤️
unerground was good too
Hhah
F
True
Most Wanted 05 is overrated. The majority of fans played it on console back then without mods. It isn't good. Its only good now probably because of the mods. Shows how bad a game is if you have to modify it
Payback is actually better looking with chrome but unbound has better reflections. Payback has an exaggerated but rewarding drift system that actually works really well.
honestly the overall driving, atmosphere, world and musics of payback is my favourite in last 4 nfs games, and the only one that i fully finished %100.
only if it idnt have that stupid gambling system for builds it could be the best nfs
NFS Carbon has the best bot reactions in my opinion. Im talking about racing with leaders. Anything you do will have a reaction
The best NFS of recent times is definitely NFS2015
You're forgetting Heat
Nah
The 2015 graphics are the most realistic ever used in an NFS, It has real characters in the game that belong to the racing world, and the cars themselves don't look like toys, they are massive and better done than nfs heat and all the others
Graphics don't mean shit if the gameplay is good. And this one ain't, and was very disappointed
Cap
Nobody gonna talk about the calipers that one is facing the wrong direction
*When I Saw The Thumbnail, I Thought He Was Doing A Wheelie, I Wanted To Find Out How XD*
3:40 Bro playing Minecraft (On the right)
I used to play the heck outta EVERY SINGLE NFS game that came out... Even this unbound
But it's FORZA rules this genre now
Look at all these people searching realism in NFS game...
They wanted to turn nfs to forza, but they crashed
No "It depends" here. Unbound wins.
Of the new NFS, I liked NFS PAYBACK the most
My problem with Unbound is lighting. The graphics are better but areas that should be dark like radiators, brakes etc. look like they are shone with the sun regardless of where you are. Like in a tunnel for example
The lighting is a bit off but it looks good, and if i remember correctly that doesnt happen when you are in a tunnel or dark area
докажи
So after all the game just reused most materials from the previous games, my theory, they first exist in rivals, rivals, 2015, payback, heat, unbound are just the same game with different scripts and art style
Not uncommon in gaming. Nfs undercover used assets from hot pursuit 2 onwards, gta 5 still has some san andreas scripts in its code and assassins creed Valhalla still has code from unity.
@@hawken796 I know but I mean, these modern nfs games are just way to similar under the cover, the rendering, the textures, even the handling, physics
@@lhoujikasdfbjklfasdhbjkas7696 that's because they use the same engine. They refine/tweak things with each iteration rather than rewriting it, if they would do that, it would take them an entire extra two years to release a game.
Payback has the best (and most beautiful) map IMO
Payback damage is crap. Looks like the car is made out paper Plastic at max damage. The damage in unbound is much more realistic.
0:56 x6m is 4 wheel drive it wont stuck there in reality
they unironically use single straight raycast for wheel positioning. Wow.
what i hate in nfs unbound is you can drive through almost everything like guardrail is like made from lego
Inbound’s graphics is that what we need. Payback and Heat are not even on the same level 2015’s graphics
"inbound" 💀
Something that I really dislike about unbound is the anime like characters. They don't go well with the realistic graphics.
@@drifzy67 f*cking t9
@@ItzCruizStationi kinda like it.its soemthing new and its actually cool.but I totally understand if there is people that dont like it its 100% a valid point
@@ItzCruizStation i got used to it and kinda like it now tbh
ah great, comparing something that is what? 7 years apart?
so much happened in that span of time bro, not surprised
lmao the game devs put the upscaling option not as "DLSS" but as "DLSS Super Resolution"
Second song name?? You credited only first and third song...
Physics is simply ridiculous in this game!
Not to mention, the have no sound fades or blending in Unbound... its a horrible audio mess as well
Если не смотреть на разрыв во времени выхода игр, то разрешение текстур в Unbound на порядок выше, однако и производительность стала хуже. В целом игровой процесс Unbound вышел на новый уровень. В эту игру хочется играть не отрываясь, за это большое уважение разработчикам. Мне очень нравился Payback, но Unbound мне нравится больше.
P.s. да и раньше все проекты Criterion Games мне всегда заходили, разработчики большие молодцы, надеюсь EA их поддержит, ведь если бы не они, ЕА ждала бы тоже судьба, что и Ubisoft
the physics in both game are designed for high speed hitting effect?? im i right?
Good to know! the graphics are definitely better in Unbound, but the people and physics are better in Payback. I also hate the little drawings around your car when you're going really fast or drifting, it just makes the game more unrealistic.
Pfff what do you mean? Clipping through the sidewalk isnt realistic
@@smolltaco5667 Yeah but the fence breaking is much better in my opinion
@@Leader-RC you can only break fences in unbound, so what are you talking about?
clipping your car every 2 second must be fun.
@@smolltaco5667 Unbound also has clipping, people don't seem to understand that it's impossible to make a games with no clipping.
NFS payback ❤️
Ghost games: Realism
Criterion: takedown

I never really liked the payback map ngl
i only liked the canyon.. thats it
Payback's map was pretty cool imo. It was way better than Heat's map
@@yrrr4871 Not as detailed and good looking as heat's
@@psylina Heat's map was better looking but felt kind of plain and empty driving around. Payback had better roads, mountain views, and a better city
@@yrrr4871 nah heat was designed for racing, payback was way too open ended to be fun for racing. Canyons were good tho.
I absolutely hate the vignette in NFS Payback. It completely fucks with the lighting and color grading
Unbound vs heat 🔥
Heat. Better:
- progression
- cop aggression
- money payouts
- nitrous
- no car class restrictions (freedom]
Why people use motion blur
ihr vergleicht im erst... welcher schrott besser ist???
If they could just give us this game at forza level quality it'd be great
I just don’t like how they reuse the same street lights and traffic lights over and over. Jus a small detail I’ve noticed
This confirms why EA will never, ever produce a solid title that people will play for years on end. From both games - everything is just sub-par and clearly rushed. All just a cash grab, and I’m sad it killed the greatness of what NFS used to be.
You missed the cop details but overall great video.
0:32
This is happening cuz Nvidia PhysX Vehicles using single raytrace below suspension joint.
And I believe EA is using PhysX Vehicles for new racing games.
Here's some example for difference reference:
th-cam.com/video/52UsfWpwzZw/w-d-xo.html
Both games lazy coding cuz PhysX Vehicles is a simple package.
I can clearly say that EA developers didn't put too much effort on vehicle dynamic. All calculated by PhysX Vehicles SDK.
is it me or is it weird talking about realism when there's anime things in the game
*NFS Payback Physics Are Way Better. In Unbound, They Kinda Just Seem To Evaporate In Thin Air*
How physics are better in NFS Payback?
look, i love NFS but some of y'all are way too easily impressed. these games were developed 5+ years apart and the improvements are abysmal. they could've released it on last gen and it wouldn't have been any different.
Frostbite engine should go away, this engine suck in 2022.. i remember NFS the rivals which had amazing graphics, but in 2013. Using the same engine for 9 years is like no respect by EA to NFS series and fans.
If it comes to the suspension and graphics unbound takes the cake but with physics and the details on the NPCs and charactes payback's got it. Unbound's NPCs looks like something from genshin impact 😂. I'm not saying its bad tho I like the style of it. It's like a sort of anime style. But not realistic as payback. It doesn't bother me but you get those picky players. both has they're ups and downs It's kinda like a 50/50 in my opinion. But it can just be me
I mean how high are your expectations? It's a NFS title. It's not gran turismo. Or forza. Or project cars or asetto corsa. It's not a simple racing game. It's supposed to be fun and arcade style. I feel like both games had good and bad things.
Let's go
may have underrated unbond ngl
Just reminding everyone than NFS is not physics based racing franchise so doing physics test is actually pretty pointless
Best song in nfs payback
I wish they could do better with the song in unbound, most of them sound like from SoundCloud
P.O.S - Gravedigger
can you please do nfs heat vs nfs payback?
If unbound was available for previous Gen, it would barely have an improvement
True
Yeah but it would be fun for the people with Last gen.
i think unbound map got real boring,,,,heat and payback were better for me
FH5 in this moments: 😵
Nfs payback breaking phisics great, nfs unbound details and other things much much better
EA's priorities are the graphics everything else is an after thought
Вопрос к автору видео ? А что ты не сравних унбаунд с хот порсуит 1 ..... то же мне чудо сравнитель. С учетом того как идет развитие видео игр и возможности . Сравнивать его надо с нфс хит.....
так эти три части нфс одного поля ягоды, копировать - вставить
Seems kinda bias towards Unbound. If you balance it this is what makes Payback better:
- Payouts
- Day/night change
- Handling
- Money grind
- Nitrous
- Replayability
- No race class restrictions
- Can race Freeroam racers
The Class system makes the game fairer but also more competitive than Heat and Payback combined. And this is coming from me who has several hundred more hours than Heat, Payback, 2015 and Rivals combined. Trust me, the Class system in Unbound is such a banger to take advantage of, it's actually allowed me to build cars the way I want, whenever I want, than any other NFS game. Also considering this game's payouts are miles better than Heat now since the Volume. 2 update became a thing lol.
@WSPonPlayStationandXbox it's subjective for sure. I by far enjoyed the financial economy in Heat because it didn't take forever to upgrade a car.
For class restrictions, I came up on games like CRUIS'N USA where any car of any type had a chance to win. Yeah, it's unrealistic, but that's the beauty in video games. It's meant to be fun not a chore or realistic. Just me though 👍🏽
for me i think nfs unbound is alot better
