NFS Most Wanted in Unreal Engine: Blacklist 15

Most Wanted reimagined in Unreal Engine! Here is the cutscene of 15th blacklist event against Sonny's Golf GTI.

-What is this in a nutshell?
It is a reimagination of Most Wanted, made in Unreal Engine as a video render. Every piece from car mods, materials, environment, particles, color grading to sound effects are done by myself.

This is the biggest project I have done so far, preparing a full gameplay & cutscene video using a great arsenal of tools and packs. I have reimagined and modelled a custom body kit for Sonny's Golf GTI, to update and keep the vehicle fresh. As for the protagonist's starting vehicle, I thought Cobalt SS is a great option from the original game, since NFSMW was pretty much its debut in video games(also it was my first time seeing it). For the materials and shading, It was really important for me to get that hyper-realistic look. So I have used my "Automotive Extras" pack(available in Unreal Engine Marketplace)(this was a shameless plug) and some other methods I have seen online.

I have created the surrounding environment in 3DS Max, by utilizing lots of assets from Quixel Megascans Library(even their brand new trees!), then attempted to create the environment on a realistic scale, to capture the real challenging nature of speeding. Also, adding pedestrians was a great way to emphasize the liveliness of the scene.

I wanted to get that authentic NFSMW grime, bleachy, yellowish green tinge, dull blues and loads of glow type of look but with a modern touch. This was very significant since it is an important part of the game itself back in the day as well. The color grading was done in post in Davinci Resolve.

For the UI elements, I wanted to keep the old graffiti/grime menu style of NFSMW, while implementing it to todays menu style of NFSs. Also added subtle hints about how a future realistic street racing game would have be like. Like player speeding, crashing, staking with pink slips, getting caught to cops having big consequences.

Overall, I am super happy with how it turned out, and hope you like it too!

Ok, now make a complete game with this graphics asap.

People are ready to give 100 dollars for this actual game to come out. This is epic, looks even better than heat.

The game might not look like it was made with a real engine in 2006, but that's exactly how it felt when I first launched it in 2006 on my old PC. Simply a masterpiece.

The music and scenery is just so iconic. They don't make racing games like this anymore

[Thetfengineerheh]

My jaw dropped the first few seconds. It looks like what this game looked like to me as a kid 😩

[mster_gun]

this is how every remaster should look like improved graphics without changing the overall colour palette and tone that truly lets you feel the nostalgia

[bruhdotmpthree]

This game brings so much memories. Would pay a lot of money to play this version

[lonelydriver]

I hope you are aware that you did great on this one. Really appreciate it. If only EA would hire talents like you guys. This is something people would actually buy 100%.

The people who say things like "bro, you must complete this, I would buy it 100%" is because they don't know anything about making games. This looks amazing!, but I cannot imagine how much it took just to make this single scene. Congratulations! 👌🏽👏🏽

[manymann]

Shut up and take my money!
Masterpiece! You MUST finish it and release!

[HexerJesper]

I really love this! My only complaint is that it's missing the sense of speed

[RemyShoots]

Well done bro! You're going far! This just made me smileso much! Wish I could've seen the entire race but I know its a load of work!!

[Batigol]

Its crazy how NFS MW content still amaze me even after this long years.

0:04 easter egg - grand theft auto 4 poster

[onetm]

I got goosebumps watching that. Hella good done!

[GRGCompletionist]

Hopefully the remake they supposedly are making will end up looking as sick as this

[LuisDaVa]

0:23 this Cobalt with the stance looks amazing

[alextitu]

I would pay the price of a AAA game for this. You just brought my childhood back to life.

[Gatitasecsii]

You managed to make it actually NEED for speed, this is the slowest I've ever seen a car go :o

[neetakusekar]

This is what it looked when I played it and it still looks the same best NFS of all time 🔥🔥🔥
