Re: Your Thoughts about NFS: Pro Street

It's just the old EA 'equalizer' thing, where even if you have a faster car, the 'better' drivers will still be just as fast as you. And, like I said before in other threads, could you beat Rudy Chen with a 602hp Skyline or 700hp Evo X? (I race on Auto and King) I beat him with a 746hp M3 E46. :mrg...

Re: Street Kings

All of them were pretty easy... Since there's AI handicap based on your performance, I guess you're supposed to take on the kings as soon as you get the chance to race the mode-specific events. I wouldn't be surprised if the king AI had "fixed" skill values. Then there's also the fact thei...

Re: Your Thoughts about NFS: Pro Street

So you are spot on about highliting the rather stupid allocation that the bimmer go in the power stakes, or may be they just went bonkers with trying to arcade the rest of the game out. I havent played too much (well, 20 min to be exact) to say for sure if the rest of cars are rediculously easy and...

Re: Your Thoughts about NFS: Pro Street

Actually I like the concept of ProStreet, at least I can remember all the tracks... In the free roam cities of MW and Carbon everything looks the same.

It IS a cool game, but it always seems EA *wants* to make us hate them by not paying attention to those details...

Re: Your Thoughts about NFS: Pro Street

My quick thoughts: - Good graphics, sounds, etc., the cosmetic part is very good, though some cars don't change sound with level 3 engine which shows they slacked off. - The so-called "revolutionary" tuning system is absolute BS. Brake bias settings are reversed, sparse explanation of susp...

It's a complete waste of time to rip the models of the cars present in both MW and Carbon. The models in both games are pretty much the same ones and, by importing a MW BIN file into ZModeler 2, you get a perfect UV map, which is not the case with ripped models. Even if there was an increase in the ...

The car in MW is NOT a Holden Monaro, it's an HSV VZ GTO. This single fact is already enough to ruin your project. Furthermore, to add the necessary badges for the car to become an HSV GTO, you must edit the mesh, and this can't be done ATM unless you manage to borrow the tools from arushan. I know ...

All the classic NFS games (TNFS to NFS6) had amazing tracks... My vote goes to NFS5, though. It had a great mix of high-speed and technical courses (Schwarzwald requires great skill with the older Porsches). And I miss the Autobahn so much... The most recent games have too many curbs and bumps on th...

When you replace the files, only the exhaust note is played afterwards (the engine is somehow muted). There's no way you can circumvent this other than editing the game's main files and assigning the sounds to the car without replacing the files (I did it with the Ferrari using some external help, b...

I despise the fact EA is treating this as a completely new feature to the NFS games. It really shows their absolute lack of care about their older titles.

If NFS: Carbon were a rally racing game, I would agree. But the main focus of Carbon is drifting, and rally cars have no place in a drifting game. Only if there was gravel drifting... :P Something came to my mind after people mentioned the 206, though: why doesn't EA include Peugeot cars again? The...

A possible new car would be the Porsche 911 (997) Turbo. It has to be in it.

BTW the Brera has well over 200 bhp... I think it's rated close to 260 bhp IIRC. Also it establishes a new era in NFS: it's the first ever Alfa Romeo in the series.

Corolla is certainly the best, but I hate driving it, it doesn't even try to skid!
Other cars make it feel like an accomplishment.

If that's not the official list then maybe expect some unseen cars to be revealed. When they were annoucing the cars for Most Wanted, they told the Elise and the Audi TT would be included, and they hadn't been shown on any screenshots prior to the time of the announcement.
