Underground 2 Revived runs Need for Speed Underground 2 in Chrome and Firefox via WebAssembly, with thousands of players free roaming Bayview online again.
I’ve been a part of the modding scene for these games for about a decade now.
As easy as this is to get running, which is a great thing, I feel the effort to make this has been misplaced and that this is a fad which will die off in a month’s time.
There are many better ways to go about this and, more importantly, there are much bigger issues to solve (such as lack of any meaningful new content for these games). It’s historically always been limited due to the lack of tooling that is functional and user-friendly enough to craft mods for this game.
And that is changing for the better, for sure. But all of these slopped up mods and ports are just made for clout to ask for donos. It doesn’t feel right because there’s almost always no passion (or even any effort) put into this.
