New Screenshots

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 06 Jul 2006, 01:36

The Taiwanese website NFSPC posted a preview for NFSC, and included 4 new screenshots as well, including a small map for the city, the preview is in taiwanese so its hard for almost everyone to understand. The interesting part in this preview are those few words: (Pathfinder),(Blocker),(Drafter),(Fabricators),(Mechanics),(Fixer), so do you think we are going see mechanics in NFSC, or Fixers for fixing car damages ?, Discuss it here.

incredible, this game is looking good even they are recycling the MW+U2 formula. But i hope this game doesn't require a incredible pc to work well.

from the map, it appears the canyon races will take place outside the city? does this mean we can expect a return of arenas?

I presume the building textures are exactly the same...

How do these Asian sites get the pictures?

The map looks more like UG2... and I already dont like it.... it already seems like its gonna have those same unneccessary bumps, and curves UG2 had.... MW had some unneccessary bumps n curves but not as many as UG2 did...yeesh....this also looks like its only gonna have one highway...and it seems like the highway only goes one way... it doesnt seem to go round like the highways did in MW....

well, the primary focus of Carbon is a type of racing where curving roads are needed. hence why they removed drag racing, cuz drag on curvey roads just isnt drag.

as for the type of racing, boss battles will be canyon racing, which from EA's desription sounds a lot like Touge Racing. other race modes are still waiting official confirmation, but we do know of Circuit for sure.

Its funny how you say that when most of the drags in MW were on curvy roads...

Hardly...

Well, the Carbon maps seems to be the biggest but I don't see any particular highway system. it's pretty cool comparing the different cities of NFS. I think EA should combine all 3 to make one big city and with each being a different neighbourhood...

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 06 Jul 2006, 03:38

Remember that NFSC is mostly about drifting and that there is no Drag mode in it, so thats why you wont see highways. From what i see, almost all the map is curved roads...mostly for drifting.

Well it's a city! The city doesn't adjust to your liking, you should adjust to the city...

i think the next NFS should be a culmination of everything EA has done this past few years ever since they deviated from the classic approach to NFS games. that'd be the kicker to bring people back. but i'm getting ahead of myself here.....

i'm assuming pathfinders will be teammates that help you find the best path in a race or set you up with a race, blockers block opponents, and drafters let you draft. drafters could also be people who "draft" new people to your team, kindof like in NHL or NFL...

fabricators and mechanics will probably be the people who work on your car eg: fabricate the car parts, and tune performance.

fixers could be people who repair damage, or, they could be those people who fix you up on races. it's too much guesswork at this point, and not enough fact. c'mon EA, damn you!

"drafters let you draft. drafters could also be people who "draft" new people to your team, kindof like in NHL or NFL.."

If thats the case I want drag.

uh...it's not that draft...
(since i can read chinese) this "draft" is like the type in bicyle racing where you would follow behind each other for less drag, then slingshot themselves in front since less drag => more speed

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 06 Jul 2006, 05:25

yeah, i know that's more likely, but since this is a translation from a Taiwaneese article, it's bound to have different meaning.

GINIX_2007 · Post by **GINIX_2007** » 06 Jul 2006, 05:25

Well thats what I am talking about.

didn't i say i could read chinese? besides that wasn't a translation. it was only an example to explain which "draft" they wrote.
