About the Need for Speed Underground Update...

Need for Speed underground what do you think of when I say that do you think that's sliding around in your tuned out Whip or building a one billion horsepower machine to do one thing go straight very quickly now this is quite funny because I've already made a video talking about drag racing this is before I knew this was in I thought Criterion was pretty much done and over at that point but of course that's not the case the next update is actually going to be the underground of update so they've already mentioned this update is going to focus on drift and drag and they already said in an interview that drifting is well already in the game which makes you assume that drifting is going to change and it being based on underground I thought this would be a good video to disect exactly what drifting and drag meant in Need for Speed underground and see how it applied in Need for Speed today which obviously you know how the drifting is it's okay it's fine this moment right here in the underground intro the ultimate Too Fast Too Furious moment jump the damn Bridge that's what I want to see I would have there's plenty of bridges you got to do a bridge jump anyway welcome to Need for Speed underground let's play a second of that but can't do anymore this is drag racing in Need for Speed underground this is what it's all about so let's kind of dissect exactly what it meant obviously the big thing that makes me go well obviously is the lane shif thing this is something that I def defitely want to see moving forward now you may not agree because they actually did iterations of it without the lane switching a little bit later but it really makes use of a unique type of game play and that's what I'm all about of course I would be absolutely happy and fine overall with drag racing to any capacity but we beat the damn train that's what I'm talking about they don't just have drag racing be the exact same as normal racing they actually changed the handling and modified it to make it unique meaning that you wanted to try it and honestly I love drag racing in this game I don't think they've beat drag R I don't think any game has beat drag racing since these games like these games are mean underground underground two Most Wanted and I think actually another point should really be focused on a separate kind of bar here cuz that I don't know once again makes it feel a little bit unique that one I can kind of be hit or missed on I don't necessarily think we need to see another different type of speedo on the side particularly for drag racing but I it would be a good debate because I really want to know what you guys would think it's terms of drag racing Lane switching no Lane switching do you need the speedo do you not need the speedo and of course this in my opinion is the game that did it best we've got these set pieces throughout it like the train and such that are perfectly orchestrated to the point where yeah you if you don't go quick enough you're going to miss it I mean you're going to hit it it's going to hit you you you understand what I'm saying alternative being you get the ability to jump between the lanes as you want but oh God the game play is the same as it is in the rest of the races and quite honestly they've done that previously in 2015 and in need to see payback they had drag racing that was just kind of fluid you could do whatever you want you move across Lanes like this and overall it didn't really work but none of those games really had proper straight line roads and the big jumps that could kind of make these races exciting I think this one is I don't want to say easy because they don't necessarily need to change the handling we could just pretty much make full grip builds and have drag tires that make them even grippier and I would say I really would love to see a nice little extra about this is that it would essentially increase the top speed of cars I think it's time to allow a new meta if we're having a new class you know what I'm saying cuz otherwise people just going to be regaring drag tires use them to increase the speed and I guess the final question on drag racing then was would you like to see round base so would you see three rounds or would you like the drag races to be long enough for them to be their own event and underground they lasted about what 30 seconds and is that enough to actually give decent money to the point where you'd actually play them because GTA has that very problem the races are about a minute long therefore they give you well basically 1% of the money you would get from doing a normal race meaning they are utterly pointless if you have it round based well then ultimately you just keep going and going and going and going and eventually someone wins the best two out of three or three races but I think overall if the money is right then it doesn't matter you can give me 10 10 grand for winning a drag race compared to the 30 you get in a speed list or hey maybe you get a speed lless playlist of a bunch of just dri drag races or maybe it's just a free room thing there's so many questions to answer just creating more but I think in my opinion I'd like events to be Solo or single if it's in a speed list then you can do a three rounder drag tires should be introduced we could definitely reduce the steering angle and make it Lane switching potentially I think that would be a new way to play though I wouldn't mind if Lane switch isn't there just as long as drag racing in itself is there and the other elements are there and it's got to be worthwhile like 10 grand a drag racer something at least at least now before we get into the actual races in this I wanted to show you the drift tracks available in this game they use the kind of URL based tracks where they're actual tracks for drifting in this game now they do have actual genuine tracks in Need for Speed and bound that we could use for drifting and I think that would be super super cool and a really good use case for them because I feel like they usually kind of forgotten about but there's some really cool areas like the big drift Circle that you can go around and round and around Essen there's perfect pieces in this map that have never really gone used in drift events because ultimately they weren't very good so what we do know about drifting is that they are again going to do something different to change it so it's safe to assume they're going to change how the drifting kind of works cuz that is a point that a lot of people have mentioned and I think the main problem they had for the longest time is that instead of making drifting its own separate entity people assumed what they meant is that well they wanted the ability to drift around or grip around and they they had to make it competitive and then they kind of blended into one and so neither ended up very good they were quite different handlings but in this game well it's completely different to the normal handling it is different because drifting is inherently more different and I of course Need for Speed should always be an arcade racing game and I think this is the best example again this is the underground update so I'm hoping drifting is more inspired by this I don't need it to be simulation I don't need it to be like me drifting in Grand Turismo or me drifting in aceto Corsa what I want it to be is fun and fluid I actually kind of prefer the drifting in motorfest compared to NE for Speed currently how cool would it be to get this top down camera as well I don't I don't know I don't know if that would work I don't know if I need that to be completely honest but again I think this is fun fluid and honestly it works incredibly well on even a keyboard cuz I forgot to plug my controller in before I launched this game and if you know old PC games is it's basically dead in the water at this point of me trying to do that unless I restart the game and I can't be bothered but neap speed is generally playing on a controller and if it ended up something more CarX kind of inspired I would not be mad like at all now the nice thing is we actually have the new realistic smoke already so so that's already a nice kind of staple point that definitely will improve things but drifting right now it's not the worst it's been in fact in 2015 as much as we praised the game for kind of bringing back the underground theme didn't really bring back drifting in an incredible way the weird snapping for example really messed things up but sometimes the game just doesn't know what you want to do and it's because of that weird Blended handling if I want to drift well sometimes like oh you want a grip no no no you want a drift you want it kind of fights itself constantly to figure out what the hell you're trying to achieve and so having a completely separate drift handling really really helps because of the fact well separation just it knows what you're trying to do now one thing you'll know from previous games like Need for Speed heat is that when they try to think about all right what do people want to do to drift they want to lose grip at the rear and that's how they want to slide well most people ended up in Need for Speed heat putting on drag tires to increase the grip because nether speed is built on actual genuine physics and then simplified for the arcad so when you actually build a real car what you do is you actually put some of the grippiest tires you can think of when you've got like high amounts of horsepower stuff of course if you've got you know a crap little diesel I don't know something rubbish about 50 horsepower then you put some rubbish tires on and of course then it slides but that same thing doesn't happen when you go big Power which is what we're going to end up doing when we're drifting around in need for Speed and dark so it's pretty safe to assume they're going to change up the handling somehow they're not just going to add new drift events because that would be a be a major cup out it's worth noting that everything we fed back at the event was essentially based on the game as is and these ideas ultimately I've not seen later down the line in terms of updates but the idea overall of this Kaizen thing they're doing with Need for Speed is to build small and then build from that if people perceive it well and ultimately build from these game modes and things they create and a new handling types to create in the end something huge which actually if you think back the best example of this would probably be the crew 2 when they added the demolition cards and then now we've got demolition Royale and then we have the chase where you could actually take down cops and robbers type game mode it all kind of adds up and makes sense so if I was going to tell you which of these two new modes I'm probably most excited for and I kind of hope has the most time put into it is drag racing drifting is ultimately going to be handling that we'll probably be able to do on the same events we currently have and they'll probably have new events but ultimately you will'll be able to now drift a little bit better than we did before we've been drifting for a while it's possible if you're really good you really put the work in but it needs to be nicer to play it needs to be nicer overall you want to be want to do it more drag racing I kind of want maybe a more aggressive camera the fov changing a little bit more of more frequently a little bit more camera shape it'll be cool to see the speedo change and of course as mention there's no drag events in the game so they're going to have to build the whole event system from go and hopefully we get some new cars to supplement that and I think maybe in drag races like increase the traffic maybe allow you to change the amount I don't maybe we're getting too ccate this is kind of maybe the traffic is enough right now what the either way that's what I think this update is going to be about primarily and it's new gameplay and that is so much more important than just car car car car car anyway let me know you think and check out these if you're interested in
