 the canyon looks different from any release canyon. Discuss? i have seen them textures in the files before so maybe a chance of me finding a track which uses them |

That's pretty interesting. It looks like it's still under development in places, but the geography looks completely different from any other canyon, and I've never seen anything in Palmont that looks relatively similar to the scenery there.

Exactly. If this canyon and its textures exist in the files, we could maybe place this one geographically with some of the others, if around the turn in the pic you can see anything familiar. I'm DEFINITELY not saying Palmont and Bayview are connected, but doesn't the scenery kinda remind you of Bayview? Like, east of Beacon Hills and the airport. |

due to the sky and the mountain in the background it looks simalar to that tv ad canyon [vid]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTgfsFy_LG8[/vid] and the canyon in that video. is the 12th canyon which is south of palmont. you can see the green lights from that downtown bridge but they are whtie in the video but in the exact same layout. fyi: prntscr.com/68d2vg < this is a simalar prntscr.com/68d333 < that is its normal map. when we put these together in for example 3dsmax and then render it. we get a very close final image of the road like we do in the screenshot texture name is TRN_CDCONC_YL_01_ D = .dds N = normalmap |

I think I've seen this screenshot somewhere else before... You're right. This was discovered about 10 months ago on old NFS:T. I still remember it. This is from tutorial video and there are 2 interesting pics. this is the first, but there is also a pic, where is the Scorpions' Mits fallin' down from the canyon and behinde this car is texture from Bayview's scrapped part. I'll try to find it. |

So, this canyon is the Gold Valley Run. I have some proofs. Compare these roads. They're same, or not ??  imgur.com/bKsnDwkI took this pic here:  BUT the scenery is totally different. Final game, 2nd turn: Yep, rain in drift race, and wat ?? Beta: imgur.com/hilyEILFinal game, same turn like "Beta":  |

I think it's one of the tracks with the pavement which has straight lines across the material as seen in the first photo and the one with the Aston Martin.

it appears to be gvr but with different lighting and shaders.

okuba, that make sense, since Gold Valley Run is recycled from UG2. We all talked about this in the old NFST. Remember?  Supposing that these old canyons footage are from the earlier Gold Valley Run, so basically these pics are from when the Canyon was still using Bayview's landscape (that would explain why the old landscape is very similar with Bayview's landscape).

Guys, I found something interesting. The scenery that you see in the 1st pic is identical to this:  This is in Payson, AZ. Do you think this is a hint that Palmont was supposed to be set near the Rocky Mtns. as Andreas told us? |

Well, in classic NFS the background scenery was always from an actual real world environment, but it wasn't in relation to where the place of the track would be.
I guess they just randomly choose sceneries they liked the most and fitted the game environment, and obviously this place isn't unknown...so I guess they choose the Rocky Mountains and others for the canyon backgrounds...in fact Kempton and Fortuna are located and designed to be near the ocean, it seem like they wanted it in the desert cause it takes a long time to finish the city and a design change would be a tough deal.
And isn't this scenery in Underground 2?

Considering that now we know that the game was planned to have a reversed version of Gold Valley Run, I'm might be wrong about this subject and probably isn't a earlier landscape, but maybe a totally different canyon.
