Wasn't that the point of downhill drift in UG2?

On the roll of EA stealing ideas out of other games (not that I care), has anyone heard something like...

"OMG LOLLLZ look at ea'z coppyin' GTA San Andreas' gang take-over-the-neighbourhood-block-by-block-...thingy."

*Shrugs* I've just read too many of those already.

And I guess, yes (in reply to xHaZxMaTx), canyon racing (or whatever it's called) sounds like downhill drifting with bars that'll break and the no-touching-the-opponent rule. I'll be damned (and very glad indeed) to see what makes Canyon mode "not just a drift mode".

I would like old school muscle in the drifting, i mean nothing does drifting better than low end tourqe, a nice little chevelle or mustang would be a good fit

I would really like to see factory driver with old muscle cars! Drifts, 180 turns...etc...etc...

so far it looks like its only racing at night, do yall think they are going to have a daytime part? So far its lookin sweet, at least by the screenies and stuff, better head down to ebgames to pre-order it!

I like night driving better than day, emphasizes the fact that the cops are behind you.

Although, the map for UG2 didn't impress me. The night time thing was good, but the map ruined it.

I hope the cops light will pierce through the atmosphere, like in High Stakess. It'd be very nice.

I'm not quite sure that I understand you!

NFSBLUECIVIC · Post by **NFSBLUECIVIC** » 24 Jun 2006, 08:37

It will look sick to see a bunch of like, viper cops or something and then some huge suvs chargin you, and a chopper dropping stuff on you like hp2, all with their lights on and while still racing 3 other guys down a tight canyon.

Does anyone heard a bit more about the new "sculpt" thing for tunning the car in the next NFS ?
How it will works ?

Redshift · Post by **Redshift** » 24 Jun 2006, 09:07

Oh, and does anyone know what wil be the soundtrack of the game ?

Andre_online · Post by **Andre_online** » 24 Jun 2006, 09:18

Not sure about that yet mate.. Soon, maybe.

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 24 Jun 2006, 17:12

I think that infos will arrive evry week!

Truestar · Post by **Truestar** » 24 Jun 2006, 17:12

NFSBLUECIVIC,

HP2 was cool, but I'm not sure I liked the chopper. I'd rather it be more realistic. It's not every day you see a Gallardo blown up by huge flaming tanks of gasoline.

But I also agree that the chopper should get involved, it doesn't do enough for me in MW.

Andre_online,

Definitely.

Now, am I drunk or was there a rumor about a Be the Cop mode?

Okay, seems I figured EA out.

Need For Speed never was and will never be a realistic racing game. Just a fun arcade game that lets player do things you would never be able to do in games like Forza or Gran Turismo.

Now, if you can figure that out, then asking for this game to be realistic is kind of stupid.

However, if you wanted a realistic racer, there are many other racing titles out there for you ti buy.

Is it just me or has the trailer no engine sounds?

NFSBLUECIVIC · Post by **NFSBLUECIVIC** » 24 Jun 2006, 18:41

Gran Turismo is one example
