Need for Speed: Metro 2… A combination of words that has a magical meaning for someone. It seems incredible but it’s been 20 years since some of us drove around the city of Bayview and soaked up the atmosphere of its neon lights at night. Today, this part is considered one of the best in the series, along with the successful Underground or Most Wanted in 2005.
The second part of the arcade racing studio was EA Black Box, later renamed Quicklime Games (in 2012). Unfortunately, the studio ceased operations in 2013. Their latest venture was an attempt to create a racing MMO, Need for Speed: World. However, it failed in reviews, the studio disbanded, and the members moved on to other teams.
However, the memories of the legendary Underground 2 remained, and a fan named UncleBurrito took advantage of the NVIDIA RTX Remix modding tools, which are focused on adding modern graphical effects such as ray tracing in the form of reflections or lighting, DLSS 2/3. support, etc.
Thanks to this, our The popular racing game has received modern graphic effects and improvements. And even gamers who wouldn’t mind games looking worse can try the gaming gems of yesteryear in an improved skin with these very popular effects.
These tools are still in Early Access and only version 0.2 is available for now. Thus, this is a very early stage of development., which can only be used by a few and is still not freely available. This is evidenced, for example, by the fact that select users can edit games that only support DirectX 8 or 9. They have yet to wait for support for the newer DirectX 10.

Apart from NFS Underground 2, other classic games such as Half Life 2, Portal, Max Payne or Grand Theft Auto San Andreas are also planning to use these tools. However, as with all games using these effects, we should expect higher hardware requirements. You can find the comparison video below so you can decide for yourself if the performance sacrifice is worth it.
