- NFS Undercover isn't the greatest racing game and not the best NFS game, and we all know that by now but how does it run on a Playstation 3 nowadays?

Do you want to see other NFS games like Pro Street, The Run PS3 versions? Let me know!
Yep
Yes NFS Shift 2 And Mostwanted 2012 but.. Honest Reviews :D
Yes pls.
I'm looking for a decent NFS game for my PS3 but it seems like all the good NFS games are for PS2
prostreet is cute
if yours has HEN or is able to P2P you can probably get the PKGs for the DLC cars (you only get the Roadrunner and the SEAT if you install all updates but don't own the dlcs)
if it's emulator even easier
Please play the PS2-version of Undercover. It is actually a "different" game:
It is made by a different developer called "Exient Entertainment"
Overall it is a remix of Most Wanted 2005, Carbon and Undercover.
1. The map is a remix of the Most Wanted 2005 map with changes and additions.
2. Car tuning is based on Carbon
3. Story and textures based on Undercover
Yeah it is a compromise of all those three games and shorter,
but it plays like Most Wanted and has better sound mixing than the PS3 & PC version.
Having played it only a few years ago it was like finally getting a sequel to Most Wanted 2005 I always wanted.
_______________________
Hot Pursuit 2 is quite different on PC and PS2 as well.
PS2 version has more content, more polish, more variety, higher texture resolution
and completely different driving physics than the PC version.
Both those games need a shout out,
especially Undercover PS2, a forgotten messy little gem.
It is quite interesting how many different games EA released under the same name.
High Stakes was a different game on PC and PS1 as well
Porsche even more so, 100% different ( PC: EA Canada, PS1: Eden Games ( V-Rally, Test Unlimited 1+2 )
Porsche is 100% different.
They make the PS3 so blurry to say "hey, it's on bluray" !
Good one
blur-ray
Sick pun intended 🤣👍
Geeez how old are you
Dude Xbox literally had weird hd dvd and the ps3 had blu rays for everything
Undercover had so much potential if they had more time to work on it it probably would’ve been awesome shame they were pushing developers so hard back then making them release a game once a year
With that horrible treatment on 2008 for like 3 games in just 1 year, limited time frames for each of these. fortunately the mods available make the game a lot better
Well im pretty sure they push them the same way now thats just when they started doing the pushing now its a trend for many big releases.
I agree. I think Undercover could have been fantastic game with a potentially interesting story. Problem is rushing it combined with some poor writing lead to this.
2008 had so many good AAA titles but the same time had so many bad AAA disappointments
Random fact, the guy who plays Blacklist #6 Ming in Most Wanted is one of the main producers on this game, how that happens I have no idea lmao
it really is a miracle that this game even starts on the ps3 considering how little time they had to make the game and how hard it is to get a game to work on a ps3
It's my childhood game and it's okay to me. I still play it from time to time and I wouldn't say it was THAT bad.
Funny enough, I prefer Undercover over MW2005 just very slightly. I played over 70+ hours on the PC version since 2014 and liked it even though it's a totally glitchy ass mess of a game. And it make me fell in love with the JDM cars like the 240SX you get from the game and Underworld in the menus. Rest of the game is "Oh..."
@@haaxxx9 Yeah it is a crap performance ahh game and I liked it more than MW'05 more as well. AND undercover made me have obsession with 240sx. The cars in the games then vs now. Woow...
@@burnnet2107 Hehe! I would love to have a decently condition 240sx that isn't modded to unrecognizable but sadly seeing one for a reasonable price is almost non-existent in these year. I got my eyes settle for more desirable options like a 1996 - 2002 Trans Am V6, BMW Z3 or a GT86/BRZ that I want IRL and hopefully I can get one sooner or later on in these rough times.
@@haaxxx9 I am playing once again right now as to relive some type of nostalgia and I don’t remember it being such a performance issue. It’s like I can only get 20-30 minutes of ingame before it freezes or the Ps3 self restarts. What I enjoy most is the police scanner. It’s very random and I still haven’t heard all the cues outside of a chase. I liked how they converse about your driving style and damage of car. It seems like Day 1 cops were harder than now.
It's one of those Need For Speed games where I feel a lot of people who say they hate it probably don't believe what they're saying, or haven't played it themselves. It's a perfectly adequate game.
1:44 now let's take a look what PS2/Wii Undercover has
So Nfs Undercover is basically the Sonic 06 of the franchise
This was my first racing game, I actually loved it. Weird thing is I never had any performance issues. Out of my whole playthrough the game crashed once
I never had the game to crash ever, been playing it for 12 years. on and off
Remember that this thing was gonna be called TerrorFive and was gonna have a totally different approach.
Which still makes me mad to this day, it had such great potential
Man, BlackBox rushed this video as well. No matter what I do, it always freezes at 1:49 for some reason. 👀
All the blurry on this game made it unplayable at one point, but i don't know why this game was still part of my childhood and i really had fun with it
I remember when I was age 8-11 when I had my friends round, we'd take turns to get into police chases and compete to who had the sickest chase lol. This game was never that bad in my opinion.
I played Undercover on ps2 and ps3. I liked the game on ps2 much more, because most of the problems weren't as present as in the ps3 version.
Yea a lot of people mentioned the PS2 version in the comments and I can see why , looking forward to trying it out aswell
since your copy come with no cover it is no longer NFS Undercover...
it is NFS Uncoveed
I literally don't remember how I managed to beat the challenge series in this fucking game
2:22 You actually pronounced BMW correctly ... Greetings from Germany, thank you very much ❤
i finished this on PS3 once and never touch it again after that
This game was my first NFS game using my Xbox 360.
3:47 a certified ps2 classic
I give this game credit for introducing me to Hybrid, Mindless Self Indulgence, and Underworld. Almost all the NFS games I've played have introduced me to great bands or artists, even a shitty one like Undercover! Also, I'll be damned if Maggie Q didn't look great in the various black dresses they had her in!
I saw another comment that said they don't remember experiencing this on the Xbox and I would personally agree. I had no idea this game had this many game breaking issues on PS3 at the time. That's pretty wild considering it's a NFS game on a modern console.
Undercover PS3 is one of my childhood games that I never stopped playing, now I happily play it again on PC and it's the happiest days of my life.
Ngl I picture this comment as the "it's fine" meme where the user is happy but everything around theme is burning in flames lmao
Well at least this video makes me feel better about my vendetta against undercover. I would elaborate but this pretty much covered every issue I had with undercover(just more frequent…).
Take it easy jeez! At least don't rip on the 240sx for me please!
Subbed because of the Bully soundtrack this channel has culture for sure
I guess your game disc is not under cover any more
That made me laugh more than it should have haha
I had also a few occasions where the game got stuck on the landing screen, but aside that game did not crash at all
background music has me thinking my cat is meowing every 4 seconds
good video though! :)
Having only played the PS2 version way back, I never really saw how awful it was, sure it wasn't top tier NFS, but it was okay
Feel like the other ports/versions got shafted though..
What's the name of the song you used in the beginning? I love the techno vibes it gives
Rom Di Prisco - Cykloid
The damage model's great though
I kind of cheesed my way through career by completing Challenge Series before the first race
Back in 2010 I fixed my friends PS3 hard drive (it was that weird trick you had to do where you rip the hard drive out when it's restoring it) and the game I used to test it was this.
I genuinely thought the PS3 still had issues because of how poorly this game ran, I didn't have Wi-Fi (I stole my neighbors WiFi for mine but this was the other side of the house) so NFS was running 1.00 with no patches, the highway would fail to load in and the game would freeze.
I gave it back to him with the warning "it freezes in games still" but he never had another issue with it. so thanks Need for Speed, for making me think the PS3 was semi-borked 😆 I suppose that's on me too for not testing other games with it.
"this one weird trick" clickbait from 10 years ago vibes 😆 but this was indeed a weird, and frankly dangerous trick that saved a lot of PS3s back in the day. The chances of it permanently bricking the hard drive were definitely not zero.
Undercover might be in the worst 5 games in the franchise, but god damn its soundtrack is the best in the series
Yea it did have a lot of bangers
For example?
@Andrey Panarin Girls in Black by Airbourne, Like Knives by The Fashion, Genesis by Justice, I was once lost but now am profound, Glam Bucket and To Heal by Underworld, Indigo Children (JLE Dub) by Puscifer. There's a lot I recommend you listen to the full soundtrack, especially the garage music
@@gunman8452 i'll check it for sure. I played it 12 years ago so probably i missed some gems outta there due to my age
I didn't have problems with it when I had it for PS3. I found a copy of it and need for speed most wanted : the 2012 version and going to pick them up today. We'll see how they turn out ❤️❤️. Been over 10years since I've played both of them
3:38 I remember that this shit happens even on the PS2 version!!!!
One of the best things (if not, the only best thing) is this game's soundtrack. Especially the garage music.
I would love to see Need For Speed Pro street because I never played it before besides carbon is my very first game in PS2 🙂
The Steam version actually doesn't have the Challenge Series update (but the Origin one does). Honestly that's good, the Steam version is more stable because of it.
0:28
so it is need for speed not under cover?
i guess you can say the disc's cover was blown ;P
i tried finding the download to the challenge series on the PS3 and it wasn't even on the PSN Store
how wonderful
For me it was there, maybe you didn't type it right?
@@DoVe_7 I really tried to find it, it wasn’t there
It was probably removed from the US Store and stayed on EU Stores
This game would give me so much head aches
3:28 - that's Morphadron - Dr Know, OST from porsche unleashed (best NFS by the way)
I LIKE THAT
Based music enjoyer
Gotta love the bully music in there though
at least the game had badass OST and busted scenes
Definitely , even use some of the music in the videos cause it's that good
I kinda like the blur because it makes it feel like you are driving faster but they used it too much.
I don't even know how you got it to even work on yours. I have 2 PS3s: a non-backwards compatible fat, and a slim. Every time I try to even start the game, when it starts loading, it just freezes, and eventually the PS3 just beeps 3 times and restarts. Then when it actually DOES work, the sounds are broken/static, and it'll freeze and you'll drive into nothing and it'll sit like this for a minute before letting you drive into the rest of the race. I just gave up on this version and got the PS2 version. It's way better, and actually operates.
1:50 I definitely can't play it on our main TV. Bruh this shit looks like Street Racing Syndicate Reborn.
The freezing looks like a fault of the specific disc rather than the game itself. My ps2 copy of burnout 3 did similar and my ps3 copy of gtaiv does the exact same thing as well
Nah it's due to poor optimization
I had it digitally on Xbox 360 and it had the same freezing/stuttering issues
I remember that the PS3 version of Midnight Club LA was also a console crasher. Returned that POS and just played the 360 version digitally on my Series X
I was playing MCLA on my PS3 when the power went out once
That PS3 to this day will not play a single copy of MCLA, it refuses to register it
I like the driving physics it was almost perfect
NFS Undercover is set in Mexico, that explains the yellow filter
Mexican gamers must’ve been really impressed by this game it must look so realistic for them
Is it just me or is the original PC release (without any patches) way easier compared to when you install the challenge series patch?
How do you get the game on pc?
I really enjoyed it but it was so laggy and glitchy. The car list, customization, cop chases, soundtrack and events were great.
Do a video on NFS Rivals
I don't know, i've played it on ps3 for years and had the map not loading issue like one time and like a couple of chrashes. Overhall, still a lot more stable than most wanted 2015.
Anything is better than 2015 lmao
I played this game so much back when I had my ps3, it was fun tho but your right sometimes buggy
I have to say that AI rubberbanding sometimes gets out of hand on Xbox 360. I completed this game like 3 times on 360 so I know what I'm saying.
Yeah the AI rubber bands when you're around/in front of it, but if you make a mistake and they get ahead once you're back up to pace to try and catch up, they do not slow down for you really, they will take long routes instead of shortcuts though. Seemingly every race I do they're always all going for shortcuts. I'll be 30+ seconds ahead of domination times and they're right on my ass making me need to not make any mistakes. And how many times I've been screwed by traffic turning into me or just being over a hill or something is crazy. I did slog through all the challenger series races, and yeah some of those your car isn't even close, one with an R34 vs those same types of cars that TT was against. Some of em are really just hoping to get lucky, which is just annoying. I'd rather the rubber banding have a hard limit, their pace should never be going beyond the domination time, by much at least and using the Veyron against some lower level cars, while they still couldn't come close to keeping up with me, I had some races where they were a minute faster than the time to dominate the race, crazy.
0:28 Need for Speed Under
We need a Nfs The Run (Wii version) video, ir has a different story to the normal versions.
NFS The Run of Wii is the 3DS port.
I played it to completion after I gave it a second chance back in the day
How tf do u have a sl63 amg, koenigsegg and a cayman in thst game? I do not remember having those cars
Those were cars from the challenge series not the main career mode
Seems like a scratched disk when it comes to map not loading. I still dont like PC/PS3 version of the game that much. I love PS2/Wii version tho. I wish it had more events in career and challenge series
I dominated all the Challenge Series events on the PC. Frigging dedication, but it was all worth it.
Wow, the PS3 version is even worse! I never had most of those issues on the PC.
You are a true warrior
"Sellers from Bosnia" 🤣🤣 lucky it's not just a sticker on an empty dvd
I imagined how doom 3 bfg edition on ps3 had extreme lag in many areas of the game such as the cyberdemon final boss and it's way much more worse extremely than nfs undercover on ps3
My first exposure to Undercover was the PSP port.
It was worse than the Mainline and Exient versiona combined.
I loved it, I didn’t realize so many people hated it till I started looking for old clips of it. Do people genuinely dislike it or is it…😂 right I’ve just seen where it freezes that brought back memories yeah that happened loads to me. I mostly played online think it was cops and robbers which I was usually on. I think at one point I was ranked something like 360 odd in the world on the ea leaderboards when I logged on my account during an I.t lesson at school, I played it every day for hours, it was one of my favorite games for the ps3. I’m lucky if I can get more than a few hours on in a week now.
What I disliked was just mainly the amount of times my PS3 died while playing this lol
I don’t think it’s as bad as people make it out. I think people give it a harder time because of Carbon and Most Wanted.
I tried to finish it on PS3 and I failed. I didn't know that PS3 version is even worse than PC. Physics was bad, AI was bad and too unfair and optimization and stability was bad. I plan to play it on PC with reformed mod because I'm curious how it will improve gameplay for that game and I would like to finish last NFS from BlackBox.
Undercover basically when Most Wanted, Carbon, and Prostreet having orgy. but since it's unwanted child, Undercover has the worst graphic of all Black Box ever created
I bought this on X Box 360 not too long ago… and it was HORRIBLE. No free roam music, AI is broken.. and piss yellow filter. I played on PS2 and it was amazing I loved that game to bits
0:30 It did not came **UNDERCOVER**
At least Undercover's mere existence can count as them positive things about it tho, unlike whatever tf is this "The Day Before" game and TDU Solar Crown
man, on the ps3 version (the pc version in slight ways too) the rubberband is the worst, and i mean the "worst" in the whole history of the need for speed francise. Underground 1s Matt is baby poop against this AI (so extreme, that i quit it and didn't touched it since then).
Im playing it rn and I have a lot of fun I think the Story is great and a bit Bad graphics is a price im Willing to pay for Such a good game
Funny how the piss filter is removed the moment the console crashes, like the game couldnt handle that much piss. It also immediately looks better lol
I ended up selling my PS3 copy, the AI is unbearably hard, squeezing out a win was nigh impossible, one mistake and they would fly ahead.
Fun-fact; deleting the update file before starting the game will make the AI much more easier. Too easy, at that... Like, beating the game becomes very effortless since the AI will be super slow, as well as the game being more buggy. If you have a save from Update 1.02 and delete the update, you will be put back at the start of the game, but you will keep your cars, which is good. :D
Final verdict: Just play the damn PS2/Wii version, while a lot of the assets are copy paste from Most Wanted/Carbon, it actually has a difficulty select, jukebox and much more engaging gameplay.
Didn't know you can delete the update , like when I booted it up it just instantly started updating to that version, also do plan on trying out the PS2/Wii Version of this game cause I heard a lot of interesting opinions on that one
You can, go to Game Data Utility and delete the update file, then cancel/go back when it asks to update upon booting up the game.
Also, you should! Imo, Exient's version is clearly the more superior Undercover.
Copy paste assets aside, Exient wasn't funded much for squeezing out this other version of the game (classic EA, they just grabbed Most Wanted's map and retextured it, Game Over screen is straight from Carbon at that).
It’s my favorite game since childhood. 💯
I actually really liked this game. Never experienced these issues on Xbox 350
Yea on 360 it was easier to make than PS3's architecture at the time
@DoVe_7 yes I didn't read the whole title lol. Just now realizing your talking about the ps3 one
@@ofner13 lmao no worries
It's just ironical regarding that the most OP version of Carbon, is from PS3 😐
360 was the best
PS3 is missing some things, also no autosave
we had Undercover, and i dont remember JACK SHIT about it...
but The Run was an interesting concept, and with the cloths the character are the same as MW's character, or atleast his jacket, which makes me think its the same character, same hair style, (maybe) same jacket, IDK but ts pretty convincing to me :)
3:47 you havnt lived untill you experience the game not keeping up with your speed, PS2 classic features right here :)
I'll admit, the only good thing coming from this series....
9000 miles - Pendulum
If u want a gud console copy of this game, the 360 ver. is definitely ur best bet :)
i grew up playing the "worse" ps2 ports and never even noticed XD
Now we know the why BLUR exist
3:49 😂 I remember hating this game when I got it. After watching this I want to sue them to get my $60 back from 2008 .
60$??? oh lord 🤣
hi On ps3 the game is too bright and has washed colors. good video
I had a ps3 and i played this game when it was new. What a pos. The loading issue was the worse for me. Even the ssd could fix it. It was truly garbage
I just beat and uninstalled this game. Bought the disc version of the PC release with SecuROM tamper (which I have to use a noCD patch *if you catch me drift*).
So yes, the game is a broken bloody mess, but I have good memories on it back when I played it on the Xbox 360 (still owned the game on disc) and I wonder with these two platform, What went wrong? Is it because (like this vid mention) a rushed release gap between ProStreets, or Skate? Because Black Box developed Skate as well.
Should've downloaded reformed mod
@@artuqs9027 I did
Is the xbox 360 version the same as the ps3 version?
don't really know since I haven't tried it but some said it runs better than ps3 version
@@DoVe_7 ok thanks i have the wii version did you make a vid on the wii version?
@@audir8fan2006 not yet but most say its the same as ps2 so i'll probably go for that

I dont recall it being horrible on the ps2
One from my favorite nfs games
bruh, I played nfs undercover on the ps3, how could you practically ruin my childhood?
Luv me that NFS HP2 sound track, my favourite Need For Speed, shame they went with the generic open world racer shit.
Damn I just bought a PS3 copy for $10 today and this is the first thing I see
I am sorry for ya 😔
