ummh...nice one but a big WTF @ the nitrous on the other camaro :\

It's not nitrous. Those are "tails" on your crew member so you can distinguish him from your opponents.

That vid was pretty cool. The crew ones are new. They are different from the old ones, because they had different cars.

A thought popped into my head while watching that video.

Since when you race, there can be cops, and the cops will go after the other racers as well, will your opponents manage to get arrested? If so, this can provide a very fun way to get rid of them, lol.

Also, I wonder if your wingman can get arrested..

Maybe, but idk how it will affect the carreer once your wingman get arrested

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 07 Oct 2006, 22:51

Maybe you'll have to pay to bail him out, or look for another wingman, or go solo for a while.

I hope the crew cars aren't clones of our cars. That would really suck

Don't worry they won't be, just watch some movies (the ones that 2furio posted like 5 pages back from gameswelt)

Yeah, each crew member that you recruit has a unique car. You can customize and tailor this car all you want, so there's a lot of flexibility there. But I think the AI crew has the same car.

My question is, what happened to the other 3 cars (Koenigsegg CCX, 2007 Camaro Concept and Nissan 240SX) which were considered to be exclusive? Plus, why would they make the 911 Carrera an exclusive car? It's not that special, in my opinion.

the other cars are some of the pretuned cars.

i hate the idea of pretuned cars b/c they are never tuneable and they are always the ones everybody wants to tune

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 08 Oct 2006, 02:12

well the pretuned cars are normaly the normal cars that have been specialy tuned by ea. you can customize the same car the way you want it for quick race also.

i dont know why, but i knew that the skyline prototype would be one of the excusive cars.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 08 Oct 2006, 02:15

well in MW they had the GT2 the C6R SL65 and some other ones that you could mildly tune, put only junkmans on them and ultimate nitrous but that was it, full customization and tuneability of ALL cars would be nice

Ok now i feel a lot better..about not being able to get the collectors edition

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 08 Oct 2006, 05:45

O im still getting the CE i wonder how much it will cost, 60$ like MW BE

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 08 Oct 2006, 06:05

The Collector's Edition is priced at US$ 49.99 on Amazon.com, just $10 over the normal version.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 08 Oct 2006, 06:07

i know but the first week it came out im pretty sure it was like 60 bucks

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 08 Oct 2006, 06:10

You're thinking Most Wanted. I'm talking Carbon.

Amazon.com already has prices up for the game, and that's where I got my info from.

And yes, Most Wanted BE was US$60. I remember because I had to borrow $20 from my girlfriend at the time.

I got her chocolate and roses =D

Anyways, back on topic please. If you want to continue this discussion, use PMs.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 08 Oct 2006, 06:15

of course, 49 for the CE version of carbon rocks i thought it was going to be like 70 or something outrageous like that

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 08 Oct 2006, 06:21

Whoops, forgot to mention that the 49.95 price is only for current gen. For next gen (Wii, XBox 360, and PS3) the price is 69.99.

And I also see that Amazon says the CE for PC will be 39.99... Interesting...

This kind of blows that the 911 Carrera is in the Collector's Edition, and it might not even be modifiable.

Same goes for the Camaro Concept and if I'm not mistaken, the Jaguar XK as well. Hopefully we can tune them this time around.
