That's what Need for Speed is all about... the ricers only came in with Underground.

i know that, i have nfs3/4/6 aswell

but as this is about street racing, it shouldnt have cars which are meant for race tracks

just ask yourself this; would you ever see a street racer driving a lambo or a zonda?
no..
why? too expensive and the risk of wrecking it is high and if you wreck it, getting a new one wont be as easy as getting a new e.g Civic or Golf

I've just take a look to the new video and what I have to say is AWESOME ! This game is a mix beetween MW and undergound, it's quiet sure but the autoscultp is really amazing ! It overpast everything I had imagined so far... Especially for the vinyl customization.
It will be very very long to wait until the 1st november !
And if everything goes normal, the demo will be out next week end !

Looks like it's gonnal be hard to go back to school !

-.-

not this type of streets
in the classic nfs games we had open, wide roads with very little sharp corners

here we have tight urban enviroments with lots of sharp corners

something else; if the cars are anything like the real counterparts... no way you could beat the zonda or CCX with something like a Golf but im pretty sure its still possible here

You can race with anything on the streets. The only reason these cars aren't seen in street races is because they are very expensive (thus only a few have the spending power to purchase a car like the Zonda) and the maintenance cost to fix parts damaged in driving mistakes is too high.

On top of that, people want to drive exclusive cars (me included). I see Civics everyday and can own one, since I have enough money to do that. As a starter car, it's good, but the game gets boring rather quickly if it revolves around tuner cars only.

Finally, NFS has always been a name associated with exotic supercars. EA has tried to ruin it in the past, but the uproar from the true fans (mostly exotic lovers) and the competition from MC3 made them rethink their marketing strategy and include more expensive cars.

A question regarding about Need for Speed Carbon:

Do Carbon have a "car damage" or no?

I am asking that because the game (maybe) will suck if they don't implement a car damage. The NFSU2 had one, but just only when you "crash" in something and then the car is OK.

SliM_880 · Post by **SliM_880** » 26 Aug 2006, 19:58

yes they do have car damage... goto the screenshot section and u will find an aston martin with damage on the side... there is also a pic of a gallardo with some scratches and damaged bumpers....

@YaelDjiel: this is just a game.... in real life im sure noone would do what u do in the game.... BUT thats what makes games exciting... they have some action and events that wouldnt happen in real life, so the players get excited because they have a chance to do it in the virtual world... if u know what i mean.... ea is trying to make some things real, like the car damage n stuff... although not entirely real... but they have to add some element of action in the game that cant be done in real life...

I have to disagree there Slim. No, seeing a Golf beating a CCX won't excite me at all.

SliM_880 · Post by **SliM_880** » 26 Aug 2006, 20:23

if u had the golf, i guess yes it would...

Redshift · Post by **Redshift** » 26 Aug 2006, 20:32

I was wondering, could someone explain me what is the difference between a 350 Z fairlady and the 350 Z in underground 2 ???

spuit*11 · Post by **spuit*11** » 26 Aug 2006, 20:41

Same car.

Flameking · Post by **Flameking** » 26 Aug 2006, 21:14

did anyone notice in the videos, the roads are hella wide. o_O i dont see how ppl would fall off the side of the canyons unless they have horrible horrible driving skills. any nfs veteran would breeze through it easily imo.

hopefully ea will fix the catch up system. =/ hopefully

btw. this is looking like midnight club but it still has (some) of its old nfs roots i guess.

agreeing to that

if i would see that... first i would LMAO
then i would say WTF!

Leftos · Post by **Leftos** » 26 Aug 2006, 21:55

Just play MW. Buy a Golf, tune it, and race against a Gallardo. It's a really bad dream.

Post by **YaelDjiel** » 26 Aug 2006, 22:05

yep i know, ive played MW
a Punto can beat a Carrera GT.... uhuh... yeah right

lets hope the class thing in Carbon will be somewhat in our favour eh ?

Sweet-16 · Post by **Sweet-16** » 26 Aug 2006, 23:43

hey, a smart can beat a F430! Djiel of all people should remember that

Post by **YaelDjiel** » 26 Aug 2006, 23:53

that was NOT a regular smart LOL

Firestran · Post by **Firestran** » 27 Aug 2006, 03:45

In any case a fully tuned golf beat a Zonda in any race seems a bit ridiculous even for a game. Thats one thing I didn't like about NFS U1, U2, and MW small cars beating much better cars, a bit to unrealistic if you ask me

Danyutz · Post by **Danyutz** » 27 Aug 2006, 09:20

yup that`s right, but some of us likes to play with lower lvl cars, like me, i like the Golf, i would of enjoyed playing it to the finish, cuz MW let us beat faster cars with poorer cars .. let`s hope the physichs here, changed

Redshift · Post by **Redshift** » 27 Aug 2006, 14:29

Lower lvl cars are also good because they become really powerful when you tune them with special performances parts (like the "junkman one" or etc...).
I remember the opel corsa in underground 2, I could beat any other car with it at the end !
It looks paranormal but a video game is a video game...

Someone at EA Boards wrote:There are three tracks included in the official demo, these are:

Bounce - Dynamite MC
Dont talk (i came to bang ) - Eagles of Death Metal
Sugar - Ladytron

I dont know any of them, anybody heared them before ?

Redshift · Post by **Redshift** » 27 Aug 2006, 18:10

I've heard "Sugar" and "Bounce", they are quiet good but much different from the song of Most Wanted...
Where did you find that these tracks will be in the demo ??
