Rumours float around that a demo will be released on September 3. XboxNewz.de confirms that the demo will NOT come out on September 3, rather coming out late September or early October.

none of those cars in Unknown3. (the first unknown ) is a golf. unless you mean the blurred out car and if you can tell what that car is, then i'm impressed.
the "sentra" is almost certanly a golf though.

I'm pretty sure the demo will come the 3rd. Otherwise we have to wait until the end of september or saturday the 2nd...

6 exclusive cars for PSP version...well i hope those exclusive cars are just pre-tunned cars, if the 240SX and skyline and some others are exclusive cars for PSP version too,then we're all damned.

EDIT: And here's Smoothie's words:
Here's the official statement. It'll be done when it's done and not before

spike_minoda · Post by **spike_minoda** » 29 Aug 2006, 22:16

yeah and that's really bad news since it's official from EA

btw smoothie posted his impressions about NFSC on EA forum:

yea i hope they are also in the other versions too

"exclusive" means they only have it for psp.

X-voltZ · Post by **X-voltZ** » 30 Aug 2006, 02:34

hope the skyline is in the pc version...it will suck if it's a psp exclusive...

At least it is true that we'll have 50 fully licensed cars (without the traffic), in opposition to something another user said here. And before anyone asks, my source is Gamespot.

Exclusively doesn't mean "only for". Sometimes, it changes...
I am impressed about the PSP version of carbon, it is graphically so detailled and it's amazing how fast it run in a small console !

Underneath the hood, Carbon employs a catch-up logic system that adapts its driving based on how well youâ€™re able to handle the courses. Should you continuously get smoked by the computer, the A.I. will dumb itself down a bit to provide more competitive races. Likewise, the A.I. will improve for those racers that win with ease. The developers explained that they want Carbon to be fun and accessible to everyone. Catch-up logic (a.k.a. â€œrubber band A.I.) was the best way for them to accomplish this goal.

Way to go Catch-UP !!!

Redshift · Post by **Redshift** » 30 Aug 2006, 14:47

Is it the same system that is used in Most Wanted ? Because if it is, I understand much better why sometimes the computer beat me even in easy difficulty...

kinda like u1's catch-up...if we were to far behind the AI would slow down...and if we were far in the lead it would take about 3secs for it to catch-up with us...no matter how far it was from us...
