The only thing I can find in the last 2 pages is Princes post regarding 4 exclusive cars, and 2 Exclusive Download cars. I wouldn't consider that a definite answer. I was meaning someone from EA to just tell it exactly how they intend to have it, if theres 4 cars, say theres 4, if theres 3 cars, plus 2 exclusive download cars, say there's 5. Sorry if I brought up an offtopic discussion, just having a gripe about EA's lack of communication with fans of its games.

We all know that the Official Car List, Part 3 only had four cars in it, but what we didn't know is that those four cars are the cars in the Collector's edition - this is coming from jsskppnn

jsskppnn is a moderator at EA Forums btw.

Whats all the WHINING of a stupid demo. Yes we are all running a little impatient, but the game is due to be released in approximately '10' days. a little bit of patience and we will all make it to the 1/2 November alive. Besides, this gives plenty of time to recap on NFSMW. Come up with new designs for the cars we will have in Carbon.

Downloadable content would be nice, but nothing comes free or cheap in the gaming world. imagine paying, lets say $20-$30 for a new car, then prices for tracks, new body parts, vinyl's etc. It'll be very expansive.

Uhh, EA's offered free downloadable cars in the past (Although not since Porsche Unleashed, after that, I don't think any of the games have been download-compatible).

gtouk21 · Post by **gtouk21** » 20 Oct 2006, 09:41

but EA want to bring in downloadable software at a price. Porsche Unleashed is quite a old game now.

Anybody Know if Carbon will be on a DVD9 disc like Gran Turismo 4?

Leftos · Post by **Leftos** » 20 Oct 2006, 12:06

Most Wanted and Underground 2 together fit in a DVD. Carbon would need to be double the size in order to need a DVD9, and unless EA has suddenly increased texture resolution two (or even four) times or something, I don't see that happening. DVD5 will be more than enough.

gtouk21 · Post by **gtouk21** » 20 Oct 2006, 12:39

The map sounds big, plus with all the modifications and new 'photo shot,' i think everyone would assume that on the ps2 it'll be on dvd9

ahmad0410 · Post by **ahmad0410** » 20 Oct 2006, 13:47

lol... who cares about the DVD types?

gtouk21 · Post by **gtouk21** » 20 Oct 2006, 13:56

ay ahmad. If its on DVD9 it does produce better graphics. I mean, how many DVD9 games have crap graphics? look at GT4, i find it hard for PS3 to beat that. that was photo graphics.

RVD · Post by **RVD** » 20 Oct 2006, 16:37

will there be a Collectors edition for the PC?? i was checking a site on which you can order Carbon from, but the CE was only there for the PS3, PS2 and 360...

there is a collector's edition for the pc

I don't think the map and the other modifications as well as a photo shoot would increase the game's size so much. Most Wanted was (installed, not even compressed) 2.8GB on the PC. You need at least 1.5GB worth of space to full a DVD5.

Don't forget, EA (at least from what they've shown in pics so far) has not done any great improvements to the graphics engine, which looks almost identical to that of the two previous games on the series.

Once again, I don't see it happening.

Anyway, I won't go into that subject again. We're less than 2 weeks away now, it's all to be seen soon.

What makes you think its Cross anyways ?, maybe he is just another sergeant that is leading the police chase...you know that EA is lazy, they didnt change anything about the cops..same techniques...same sounds...same cars, including Cross's car...well, driven by another guy.

How come this hasn't been posted here:

IGN PS3 Preview (yes, the one from the main page):
http://ps3.ign.com/articles/740/740607p1.html

5 new videos:
http://au.media.ps3.ign.com/media/826/8 ... ids_1.html
(check Page 2 also)

1 new video here:

EDIT: Regarding the PC demo:
FiringSquad: Finally are there plans for a playable PC demo of the game?
Scott Nielsen: The demo has already been released on the PS2, Xbox, and Xbox360 and weâ€™ll be releasing a PC demo very soon.

(big interview, 3+ pages)

Enough with this "soon" bs! I've had enough of it, EA is really pushing it. I'm not pissed off because they didn't release the PC demo, I'm pissed off because whenever someone asks them something (e.g. regarding car list, site updates, FAQs), it is the same freaking answer everytime...soon...
