First the preformace. I don't know how you guys play, but it doesn't run as smooth as MW. Though, since its MW engine, I can get same preformace. But I can't turn motion blur on and at 1024*768 it goes kinda slow (<25 FPS). That is interesting, since I play MW on 1024*768 with all maxed out except anti-a, and the game really flys. Have Sempron 3100+ with 1 GB DDR and 256 X600. Really wierd.

Same me, these games go every year worse with same settings. Well, I found the configuration that doesn't suck too bad.

SuperString wrote:Second, although cars are modeled even better than in MW, they shine too much, like they were made of glass. Maybe its my grafic-card though.

It's not your graphic card, but it doesn't look that bad too me and might just be kind of paint.

With 100 mph it was fully uncontrolable in canyon curves. And seems the cars can drift only in drift mode, tried to drift in canyon run and only thing you can do is power slide with SS.

Handling and physics never were good, HP2 they were a bit better. Also, how the * can't I keep up that guy in the duel with a gallardo? They underestimate exotics. About drift, it's quite fun. Anyone having same probs, that in drift and sometimes other modes, autosculpt changes go shiznit and then back again.

And where the hell went boost gauges????

I hope they will fix some bugs and about duels, I have a prob that sometimes in duel it starts with very fast speeds, other times not, wtf?

Well i wont make my opinion on a demo because i know how miss leading they can be when it comes to the real thing, the only thing i say is that i hope the performance is way better in the full game.

peterfaj · Post by **peterfaj** » 29 Oct 2006, 20:49

So do I, and a few bugfixes needed. I remember the MW demo (I think) it was worse than the final product. I can say MW was my fav. nfs game.

Well i think i shouldnt even post on this forum but meh oh well....

Im not dissapointed at all and Even about the real game there is nothing that im dissapointed about
here is the list of things i loved about it

1.The Demo started up

2.The cars were not plastic to me

3. Reflection was great

4.The option to remove motion blur

5.The cars can handle great coz i can control them
-----------------------------------------
Im not sure if its just my graphics card or sumthin that is making it good but yeah it runs fine btw im using a NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS

OK Here's my thoughts: Very Disappointed
1. Graphics is 90ish, I totally agree with someone who said they all look plastic; plus, lighting is very poor, it has nothing to do with individual computers, my pc runs the game smoothly with all max, the colour tone in the game is rubbish, purple road barrier? Gay!
2. Speedo is a joke, all cars share the same speedo layout, plus it looks 80ish, extremely poor, and you have real problem to know which gear you are in (the digit is so tiny that you feel like the designer doesn't want you to see it) when the engine is over reved, this is the biggest disappointment!
3. Drifting is extremely childish, if you look at the wheels carefully, they don't do what you tell them to do, the game corrects your movement automatically, i.e. keep steering left or right, the game will actually turn the wheels the opposite way, what a joke.
4. Game play is not only too easy for anyone over 10 with normal IQ, it doesn't give you the sense of speed at all, feels more like playing a mid 90 product from a c-list company.

In fact, I can hardly think of anything to praise about the carbon game, let alone topping most wanted, I'd prefer EA improve the online game feature of Most Wanted (so many facking cheating bast*rds) than fiddling around with a new hybrid nonsense. Well, maybe they just want to tap into as many people's pocket as possible. That's where this 3 crew concept comes from, that's why it plays on just about anything more powerful than a calculator, and that's why the PC version is no longer well developed. EA has managed to kill a very good concept - Motor City, I won't be surprised if they did it again.

I am quite new (2nd post) but holy smokes fasttasf that is a pretty harsh review. I, personally, don't care too much how a game looks, but how it plays. Most of your comments relate to eye candy and not how the game actually plays. I am not going to look at the wheels on a (childish) drift race to see if they are pointing in the right direction. If they do what I want them to do I don't even care if there are wheels at all (but that would be just silly). As far as looks go, it has always been my expreience that most demos are dumbed down versions of the final. I would hope that on Wednesday we will be seeing the real deal, at least I hope so.

I like the drift mode. Much better than NFSU2, which I just recently started playing again. I haven't gotten much control of the cars yet, but I think that will come with time. When I was playing PS2 Gran Turismo and went from 2 to 3 it was like apples and oranges. It will take time but eventually I will stop running off that darn Canyon Road.

Whether reviewing a game or any other product there will be people who think a really good thing just plain sucks. I try to look at the majority and take the minority with a grain of salt. It is just a DEMO.

I think it is much better than others of the genre. I look forward to seeing the final product.

Well, first when I heard the new NFS is in production, I thought I won't play it, that it'll be nothing new. While getting info about the game, I started to like it, it keeped getting better and better. Then when you could find almost everything about the game, it went downhill from there. Well, I still can't wait for the game, demo is a bit dissapointing but the game looks to be quite fun, if it had same graphics for same graphics card, if autosculpt changes wouldn't go shiznit while drifting (anyone having same probs) and if it had a music importer cuz I don't exactly like this year's playlist. Well, only demo I remember that does reflect the game is Lego Star Wars 2

Too bad, what goes wrong? If BSOD, it usualy helps by a fresh instalment of windows. I also have probs, sometimes while playing, the game closes and it says...illegal operation...eh, winsux
If Linux had full support, if EA would support it, I'm damn sure it would run games much better than winsux, but it's not supported (offtopic, sry)

oh and everything is on high as it can be..

fastfart · Post by **fastfart** » 30 Oct 2006, 11:29

Exactly, I don't care much about graphics either, the points I was making concerns very much about game play.
1. speedo, if you don't know which gear you are in, is it gonna be fun driving in Manual Mode?
2. drifting wheels, if you are not too thick, you should understand what this is about, the game actually corrects your input to sustain longer drifting time, I said this is poor precisely because the car DOES NOT do exactly what you tell it to do (with wheels or not, who cares), it's the computer that's really controlling the car all the way through drifting, not you, that's why this should be a game classified for children under 10!

Fastfarrt has done nothing but complain since he started here. If you don't like the game, why bother on here? If you can do better, why don't you get a job at EA and show us how amazing you can make games and still keep them affordable for the fans? Get a life man

I am a customer of EA, I have my right to complain! Plus, WHAT IS THE TITLE OF THIS THREAD??!! It's you that shouldn't be here, or maybe you need to learn English from the beginning again. I suggest you get a life man, at least I have placed an order for collector's edition, not someone steal it using p to p download or buy off the black market like a lot of people here do! And, by the way, I CAN do better!

Everyone is entitled to post his opinion on the game here. If someone doesn't like the game, it's his/her thing . Flaming of other users will not be tolerated here.

Well, I sort of deserve that in a way I have to say, but nonetheless, I AM disappointed that I am no longer one of the mainstream gamers that EA values more, maybe it's because I've grown older over the years (not that old to have a mid-life crisis

), and I'm more into a glass of fine wine than hip-hops and shining wheels. My best NFS? Most Wanted, then Hot Persuit2, then Porsche Unleashed.

Forgot to mention, I bought the collector's edition because I own every NFS game (original unopened package, and don't ask how I managed), and this is not going to stop because of one game.

The demo didn't disappointed me. I loved it.

Hey man, I agree. Consoles are meant to play games.

I am gonna wait for the NFSC CE, so I can drive the comaro concept.

I think it will be worth an extra ten bucks.

IMO, I hate demos. One time, I played a demo from a game I already have (because I was bored) and it was NOTHING like the real game, a lot worse. Don't make a big deal about the demo, It may be nothing like the full vertion.

But demos are used to get people to want to buy the game.

Don't underestimate the importance of a demo: a bad demo will turn people off a game, even if the full game is good.

Also true, demo - demonstration, demos should be same as ending product. But don't get me wrong, NFS C still needs some changes.

I like NFS as arcade but a bit more realistic would be nice...EA is still trying to make it realistic, doesn't it?

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 30 Oct 2006, 22:55

If EA wanted to make it a lot more realistic, they would've done that a long time ago. Automatic countersteer and full throttle drift is hardly realistic.
