Actually it was top notch back then. Before this generation of games, 256 colors was only fast enough at 320x200 resolution. This game was 640x480, which was only used with 16 colors for games so far.
@@Highrollinhunter hahahahaa okay boomer , everyone and their mother knows underground 1&2 are miles ahead of this even though this was groundbreaking for the time . Don’t be blinded by nostalgia
@@WubZy25 , I`ve played NFS 1 several times after Underground 1 and 2. It has very little connection to those two games, which are good as you can tune your car and making it look like a Christmas tree, but physics and "reality" factor were just in a different category - more like Mario Karts. NFS 1 was more like a semi-simulation, closer to Test Drive Unlimited 1 and Forza Horizon. NFS series went with NFS II into a less complex driving game, more appropriate for kids.
@@T0m0zukiAnd how exactly does the games being more casual make them worse? Because you are one of those fanatics of real life driving so everything has to be ultra realistic? Real life racing sucks. Insanely bad. We all know you are joking, so please, stop making yourself look like more of an idiot than you already are. Seriously. The newer games are so much more ahead of that and with the graphics on that old thing, the customizations really do not mean much. Oh well, this is the reality are living in.
I'm 9 years old, sitting in my friends basement. We just got this for ps1, and he tells me, "you can sit in the driver's seat on this game, I just don't know how to move the camera". I can remember playing for what seemed like hours before we finally figured it out. I was mind blown that we had this, in our house, and not in an arcade. I think this is what got me into SIM racing/auto racing, maybe 50% this and 50% gran turismo 1.
Learn to respect people's tastes, and then you Underground fanboys (posers) dont cry of why we ALWAYS compared yourselves, "OG Undergrond boyz" with the Sonic fanbase; Specially when it comes to bother everybody with their "remaster cry comment" which its just nothing but a waste of time to speak with a dead body (Black Box specifically).
@Sticky Neon 34 I learned the toxicity of the Underground's community side because of the many comments in all the NFS Evolution videos & NFS songs related to Black Box's Universe, specially a manchild who has the name of +BMW M3 GTR
I love this game! It was such so much better than Test Drive 1 (1987) and Test Drive 2 (1989). The cars didn't all handle the same - they had their own characteristics. Felt very realistic. It featured circuit tracks but the open road City, Coastal, Alpine locations were the real star attractions. This game is from 1994 and 21 years later I could still put it on now and enjoy it. The only other game I can think of that's that old that has the same effect on me is Syndicate. Forza 4 is terrific, Assotto Corsa is VERY impressive despite the lack of content. Still early days... its only going to get better. Bang for buck, TNFS is an all time great and in my view better than the other NFS's that have followed on.
@@landonbobbett2301 I started out about mid 80's on Commodore 64, then Commodore Amiga 500, then PC around '95. I've always loved Flight/Driving Simulators .

Yeah, no 1st Person view kills it for me. The original still the best. It's still an all round better put together package than today's excellent Assetto Corsa Sim.
I miss this need for speed 1 and need for speed Porsche unleashed, too nostalgic for me, back in the day I will play it on pc for hours, I remember in NFS 1 if you get caught by cops there's a cutscene that cops will hand it ticket to you, in Porsche Unleashed you need to complete mission for parts, tracks and cars and of course my favorite car in Porsche Unleashed are Moby Dick version race car, for me this two NFS are my nostalgia memory's that can't be erased
Such Nostalgia, I played this game in 1998 or 1999. Used to play House of the Dead, Mortal Kombat, Road Rash, Moto, Sonic and the list just goes on and on. Things come and go...........
I grew up with MK and Sonic in the 90s and I don't think I had my 1st Playtation until 97, I never really had a NFS game until Most Wanted on the Gamecube. I did play this NFS with my older cousin and all the ones whenever I'd visit them because he had it before I got it and my best friend (at the time) had Underground 1 & 2. Seeing all these old school games brings me to nostalgia tears every time, I know it sounds bitch-mode but I can't help it.
that guitar riff in the intro is epic the handling physics was really great on this game...I could get oversteer by braking properly and downshifting two gears at ones
Hey Mate. If you have Assetto Corsa, you might be interested in the re created TNFS original lineup. Some very clever people added the Diablo, 512TR, ZR1, RT10, 993, NSX. Top level quality too... and free. Unfortunately those brilliant A-B routes haven't been done. I believe copyright issues were one problem. Also, one who did take a look at the routes said it wasn't feasible. The jumps are too extreme. Kind regards.
1994 and the graphics are like years ahead of the time , these are like Gran turismo graphics and that game did not come out until a few years later in 97

Damn, this is still good to play even today. I know that all these latest games have come a long way are trying to do a lot of new things, along with some crappy plot stories (UG2 was the last very good story based game), but nothing matches the purity of just racing. The way these cars turn in the original game has lots of understeer and still requires you to pay attention to your speed and lines.
@@ibamarcel4577It looks horrible. It plays horrible, just from looking at it. It screams old age from a distance and there's absolutely 0 sense of speed. The graphics and UI are severely outdated.

I really wish they would take the original 4 games, upscaled them, made them smoother, then released them on one disk/cartridge for todays consoles. they could call it "NFS Throwback" because these original games are where it all started.
I really liked NFS till NFS Hot pursuit 2. Still remember the first demo (with Viper on coast map, it was mazing at this year. It has been a sin that they begun to use tuned cars with super grips and "kids" stuff.. The best till the 3rd (if i remember right) were car clips and music.. Great game!
I didn't see daylight for weeks after I got this game for my 14th birthday.
14? wow i wonder how old you are now, i was only 5 when i started play nfs 2

Look at that. Normal (not super wide) roads, no super fast cops, classic cars, radar detector, good physics... Still the best NFS for me.
