OUTLAWS

UNBOUND OUTLAWS

A complete overhaul for Need for Speed Unbound

Version 1. 2

OUTLAWS rebuilds Unbound from the inside: the way the city looks at every hour, the entire soundtrack, every engine note, how the police hunt you, what a car costs, how it drives, and how far you can take it in the garage.

The target was an old school street racing game. Money means something. Nights look like nights. The cops make you work. The garage has the doors taken off.

  VISUALS: TIME OF DAY

  • []Night runs a deep purple and cyan grade. Bloom, ambient light, ground bounce, fog and colour correction were retuned together, so the city reads as genuinely dark and stays readable. Street lighting carries the scene.[/]

    []Morning and Overcast were moved onto a pre sunrise sky dome with the sun at the horizon. Phantom sun rays removed, forward light scattering killed, surface lighting pulled back across sky colour, ground colour, GI multiplier, sky box and terrain.[/]

    []Exposure clamped in every mood, so no hour blows out to white.[/]

    VISUALS: REFLECTIONS AND WORLD

    • []Planar terrain reflections enabled at 500 metres with fog rendering on, for the wet asphalt mirror look across the whole map[/]

      []Screen space reflections run with the velocity buffer on, so reflections hold still on moving cars[/]

      []Road surface presets reworked across the map[/]

      []Signature style boost effects, backfire, smoke, drafting and air trails[/]

      []Water, weather and steam effects[/]

      []LOD groups retuned for draw distance and shadow range[/]

      []Clutter pass for cleaner sightlines[/]

            POLICE

            Heat 1 and 2 stay stock, so cruising stays cruising. From Heat 3 it gets serious.
