An attempt to bring back fun into...
Need for Speed Undercover Fixing the game to the proper state
[Warning: Not a good english]
Undercover came out in 2008 and... i can't call it the worst NFS.
Yes, of course, it wasn't without problems: strange physics, weak AI, too much cops (really hard to escape from them),
...fucked up bloom, annoying bug with the shadows, when they change with the same speed with which you go, and much morе...
But hey, this game got something good too - New gamemodes that were quite interesting and hard, and most importantly...
...you want them to race again, again, and again!
The tone of the game that the creators chose was a serious one, telling the story of a cop undercover, and about street life.
A huge number of cars, some of which may well become your favorites. Etc....
EA made a bad move, splitting black box team into two parts at the end of 2006, when it decided that the new game in 2007 definitely needed to be released,
...and all because the NFS:UC still needed 'polishing' and he simply could not get released at the end of next year.
But as we see, the game that came out in 2008 was rated much worse than what released a year earlier.
And there more to say: the prostreet clearly got his love among a huge number of fans.
Anyway, our task in today's video is to try to fix the situation, what happened to the undercover,
...and try to return some fun for those people, who could not look at NFS:UC without horror on their faces.
This is elaymm4 in voice acting MSX, and today we will try to pimp Need for Speed Undercover to the proper state!
So,
Imagine the situation - you, an ordinary player and a fan of the whole NFS series. You have gone through many games of this series,
...in each of them you have allocated to yourself various pleasant moments and decisions of game design.
But now you have launched NFS:Undercover...
And sharply you begin to understand, that you can not find anything good in this game.
If you didn't have such a high desire to fix something, you would simply 'throw' the game and write it down in the list of unsuccessful projects.
But no.
You have strictly decided for yourself that you want to fix the game, try to find a solution to the problem, and finally: enjoy the gameplay.
You go into the web for a solution and you realize that you have been really fucked up, because there is nothing good on the web.
You despair.
Okay, this was a bit weird for my style, but that's exactly what would happen if you were in the year 2009, or 10,11,12, and so on until 2017.
You may ask, why until 2017?
Well, because in the summer of 2017 there was created one VK group, in which there was a message about that soon everything will be fixed,
...and we will get a mod that was waiting for.
Well, at least those who was waiting for a mod like this one.
Began a small, but all the same discussion around this topic, and the fans of this game began to wait for the news...
And the first news was about releasing a demo version of the mod,
...after some time people got another message with full version of the first patch.
Patch, called - Need For Speed Undercover Remastered.
The first version already made a huge changes in the game, and represented the first version of the fixed graphics,
...where the bloom was fixed and the bug with shadows was removed.
Then second version was released.
Well, after all this came out the latest at the moment current version of the patch - 3.0.
In changelogs of all versions of the patch can be deducted, what was changed in the game.
Changed a lot, you can always get acquainted with ChangeLog through description of this video.
Let's move on to the most delicious - patch installation and various mini-mods that will upgrade the gameplay!
Download the archive from this link, and no, we don't immediately unpack the contents into the game folder,
...first we make a backup of the GLOBAL and FRONTEND folder in case you want to return to the bloom and other things of the original game.
Done?
Now in the mod's archive go to the folder PATCH 3.0 and copy everything from there to the folder with the game.
Okay, we done. Start the game and enjoy new impressions from the patch!
And now let's pass to some important points of this modification.
The first and most important thing is...
Where are the fucking fonts?
And really, the author decided to remove them.
What was the reason for this - I can't understand, and... unfortunately... call normal too...
How to fix this?
Open the GLOBAL folder from the backup, copy these files from there and paste them into the original GLOBAL.
Done! All the fonts are back in place!
Second thing: if you are not annoyed by overebright graphics in the game, you are not a human.
All this is due to ReShade, so we just delete these files from the game folder.
Here you go, now the overbright is gone, and these gradients have become a lot better.
Well, that's all, now you can drive and getting fun in the world of Tri-City.
But we have not finished yet, because we have various mods on the way, which will improve game a bit.
Need for Speed Undercover Fixing the game to the proper state
Various mods
Customizable Bloom Effect - Will help you in case you for some reason did not like the Undercover Remastered mod,
...and you want to choose the level of bloom for the game by yourself.
Note: you will need Vlt-Ed. It's easy to use, to install the mod, perform these actions:
>Download mod< [Link in the description]
>Download mod< [Unpack scripts from archive]
>Download NFS Vlt-Ed< [Link in the description]
>Install mod using NFS Vlt-Ed< [Unpack tool and launch it]
>Install mod using NFS Vlt-Ed< [Select game folder]
>Install mod using NFS Vlt-Ed< [Install script]
>Install mod using NFS Vlt-Ed< [Install script] - - Choose any script from this list - -
>Install mod using NFS Vlt-Ed< [Install script]
>Install mod using NFS Vlt-Ed< [Save changes]
Improved Pinkslips - It will help you if you don't like situations when you completed the Pinkslip race...
...and when you had choose a car, you getting its stock version instead of tuned one.
Installing mod also implies doing things in Vlt-Ed, which will be absolutely the same, only with the choice of another script to install.
Oh yeah, and one more note - if you already have a save, in which you completed a couple of Pinkslip races,
...the cars that you already knocked out - will not change to tuned ones.
You need to start a new career.
New high contrast HUD - Will help those people who have problems with the visibility of HUD and its elements.
The mod makes some elements darker, specifically a minimap and a speedometer,
...changes the color of nitrous, and adds race icons to the minimap.
Of course, the question of the aesthetics of such a modification is very hard, but this mod may help people during races or police chases.
Installation is simple - download the archive, open it and unpack the contents of the Easy method folder in the GLOBAL folder.
Most Wanted style gauge - Mod, adding a speedometer, very much reminiscent of the MW...
Anyway, who wants the MW speedometer - download the archive, and copy the file HUDTEXRACE in the folder GLOBAL with a replacement and enjoy the MW gauge.
Xbox 360 Button Icons - It will help those players who decided to play this game as is, as it probably was planned to play...
With the controller.
Mod replaces almost all the icons of the keys on the icons with the Xbox 360 ones.
Note: not all icons are replaced, because the author simply replaced the textures - didn't rewrite the game code.
And this means that in some cases you will still have to press something to do 'this' or 'that' action.
Or you just can look into the settings of the game.
Installation: download the archive, open the folder Easy method, and copy the folder GLOBAL from there to the folder with the game.
Mod RestoMod Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera like those who love cut cars,
...or who just enjoy a particular model of Lamborghini, in this case it's Gallardo Superleggera.
Replaces the car Cadillac CTS-V, which, according to the author, did not like him very much.
The installation goes again using NFS Vlt-Ed, and again in the same way, only the script you will install - is other.
Of the bugs can be noticed only that the game is still thinking that you ride a Cadillac.
Well, we don't care, the main thing is that the car is cool, right?
Well, one more mod, changing the HUD, but having one veeeery unpleasant problem, which reduces its usability almost to zero.
However, you can still play with it. In any case, it's worth attention.
Beta Hud - returns beta hud straight from the leaked beta build to the final game.
Blue, nice HUD, which is looks good with the filters in the beta build - now in the final game.
As i said, the HUD was ported directly from the beta build files, which means the possibility of getting bugs.
And... they are here.
Actually, one, but unfortunately: critical.
Don't go in the race, which have a countdown!
I'm talking about this little thing, if someone don't get it.
Unfortunately, something in the code of the HUD freeze the game at the start of the race,
...when the countdown should appear. And this almost completely kills the usability of this mod.
Ehh, this had chance to become a great HUD.
Fortunately, races and events, which don't have countdown - works fine, and you can still play with it.
If someone want to play with this HUD, the link is always located in the description.
Well, that's all!
Now, with a bunch of different mods you probably built a more enjoyable Need For Speed Undercover!
Of course it's difficult to fix this game, and it's obvious, but the steps in this are happing right now, like the modders, which create the modifications,
...and you, the players, who support them by installing their mods, and thanking them for doing this.

Thanks to NFS Undercover Remastered and all those guys for their modifications and paid attention to this game,
...because without them in this video I would just hate and sometimes praise the game.
Oh, and probably not the best news for my subscribers - a new video will come out really not soon.
