PC Gameplay+





this mod edits the surprisingly open game files to:
- make the handling WAY better, more responsive and slidey made to be as similar to the ps2 version as i could get it to be
- make the police more present and aggresive
- makes the ai racers way harder
- make the close camera more modern
all adding up to make the game feel way better and more comparable to the ps2 version when it comes to core gameplay

showcase video

let me know of any issues, especially car specific ones since i could have missed some
PLEASE COMMENT MORE ON THINGS I SHOULD IMPROVE!!!!

UPDATE!
ALL CARS SHOULD NOW WORK FINE! YIPEE, the thing that broke them was extremely long numbers( eg 1.99999998), they were all rounded up so everything should be fine, still let me know if any issues arise from this

another update! (i should really start numbering these)
more handling tweaks... cars are lighter and should now be more responsive and generally more similar to the ps2 version
tweaked racer ai, now should be easier but still harder than vanilla (original hardcore ai is still available in the mod if you want it)
tweaked cop ai a bit, i dont think it ended up doing anything but might aswell mention it
edited camera, i halved the dampening on it so the sense of speed is WAY better now, everything feels way faster with it and its generally more dynamic

i've been waiting for a mod that makes the pc version of nfshp2 feel more like the ps2 one and i think i just found it

Now it's much better, it's even fairer now as it should be and much easier to handle, thank you very much, you did a great job

cars are fixed now, done quickly but its kind of a big thing to have broken, will look into ai now

thanks for letting me know, some cars just seem to break for no reason but its easy enough to get them working again, ill also edit the ai a bit more

Ah, the Ferrari F50 feels unmanageable, as if it were uncontrollable; by the way, I control it with a keyboard.
