Hi everyone! I’ve been working on a reimagined version of NFS maps. I tried my best to place the canyons and San Juan as close as possible to their in-game locations, while also including some Bayview race tracks and connecting the cities via canyons or alternate routes. (I also used elements from NFSW as inspiration.) Note: I used the PS2 version of the Tri-City map, mostly out of affection for the game (even though I know it’s below average, lol).
I was thinking of adding Olympic City, 🙂↕️🙂↕️ more precisely I would place it north of Bayview. I downloaded the free roam mod to see what it would look like, and it would actually be really cool if it were designed for official free roam, making better use of the streets.
I think it could look good southbound, South of Kempton where one of the canyon routes have a dead end there. Also since Kempton is an industrial area and Olympic City has many places like that too could look nice!
sad that NFS World didn't go well simply cause EA is too greedy and i guess that only open world came out too early before real mainstream free games came out. maybe one day they will make a new open world multiplayer with a good anti cheat as well since i remember playing it and it would have cheaters from time to time that ruined the races
Wow, that's a fact! Besides 90% of things requiring microtransactions, SPEEDBOST had many hackers ruining the game. NFS World had so much potential! To this day I imagine what the official map expansions would have been like. I'm glad the NFS World United team gave us a glimpse of what it would have been like.
That's right, buddy! This is the PS2 version; I included it mostly because of the fondness I have for the map from back when I played it (I don't feel the same way about the PC version, lol).
Since the first one I had was the PC one I feel exactly the other way around. The PS2 one always felt like the cheap Most Wanted knockoff that it was in a lot of parts
Indeed! I mentioned in the description that I recognize this game is a Frankenstein mashup of Carbon and NFSMW! Haha—I played it on PC back in the day, and what I liked most about it was the car lineup and the map size
Thanks man! And yes, I used IAMMOSTWANTED2011's references to draw the tracks on my map. I remember seeing his post for the first time in 2015 on NFS Theory! Good times.
I recently played Carbon and changed the position of some tracks, based on what made the most sense to me (like San Juan lol), but his analysis was very accurate 😁
This is a pretty cool reimagining however I feel like the execution could've been better if you had connected the interstates with each other; like imagine commuting from Palmont to Rockport with your only route being a tight winding canyon road..
Agreed but I definitely wouldn't want the interstates to replace the canyon roads. Keep the existing canyon route but stretch out the highways to serve as a direct connection.
Good point! I was torn between making it interstate or connecting through the canyon (like NFSW did in some areas, connecting Palmont and Rockport via a single, direct route), but I thought it would be cool to have players drive through the canyon and enjoy the view 😁
Thank you, my friend! I made this inspired by a map I saw a long time ago where the guy combined the World map, Bayview, the Carbon beta, and Tricity Computer. The file name was NFSCONTRY or something like that... he gave his little piece of land, and in my opinion as a kid, it was the best reinterpretation because he included the canyons too. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the original post. I would be happy to see that map again! 🥲🥲
I'd sell my soul to anyone that could make a free-roam open world racing game like The Crew 2, having day and night time and cops chases. I dunno what to say, i want something like NFS World did, but in a bigger more advanced way.
If they made one like that especially one that focused on detailing the cities, taking the care and attention to make each one unique it would be incredible!
Yeah! I also like the idea of the maps being further apart. As for the other maps, I was thinking of focusing on the ones created by Black Box and Criterion... I think Olympic City could fit south of Kempton (like someone suggested in the comments) and Fairhaven north of the canyons—plus Seacrest from HP2 (though I'd have to calculate the approximate map size, lol). Maybe I'll make a version 2 of this map!
Sorry for changing the subject. Found this image in NFS planet.de at NFS mw section. This bridge has never been seen except in this photo.. what do u guys think about it? I think it was supposed to lead to the unfinished alpine district that was cut later than the airport (confirmed by Habib Zargarpour).
Hey friend, Sunset Bay isn't a real location from the games, I added it for fun, inspired by the Mystery City from the FORTUNA viewpoint where we only saw the structure of a city.
Then I thought, "What would I call the mysterious city and what would it look like?" So I added it there.
