Ok guys,I haven't seen this in the forums so I thought I'll show this. (I got all these pics from Google searchin and from some threads on here,full credit to whoever made them) So I've noticed that there was this texture in Underground 2,I was like, "I've seen this before..." (Bottom Right)  As it says,these are the Pan City textures in NFS Carbon,and the bottom right caught my attention because:  See the resembelance? Thoughts? |

Yeah, they are similar, but Palmont and Bayview have been proven to be nowhere close to eachother. Likely reused and updated textures.

^ that. Reused assets are common when making games. Care for other examples just look at some TV shows like Star Trek. It is easier and more cost effective to reuse assets from previous titles then to completely make everything from scratch.

On the first look they are similar, but on thr second you notice there more and colored lights, there also mostly the same turns Dozent of times next to eachother, and interchanges and turns that aren't on the texture from carbon.
It would be easier to pick up the texture file from U2 to compare...but it seems they only have few similarities (like that half circle turn with interchanges.

Because 'Panorama City isn't the actual name of the city, its the files name because the city is set in panorama position - which is the city texture you see in the canyons and west of Fortuna.
The Beta City (probably) never existed in 3D just on-screen as a drawing and just a early concept of Palmont as you see the four districts of the final Palmont.

Wasn't this thread created already? Or am I just starting to get nuts about these theories...?

Pan city = Panorama city Why they dont rename the beta city to "Panorama City"?? Because Pan city was never a city  its confusing but let me explain. Pan city a.k.a Panorama City is not actually a city but just a PANORAMIC texture that is supposed to just be pure scenery and make the Canyons feel more realistic. i mean it would just be boring to be driving on a road with just the sky... its just there to make it have a realistic feeling and nothing more. so Pan City is not a city. its just how we call it... and i really think we should stop that |
