I thoguht the demo was alright. I'm really impressed with the graphics. Just need to resolve the issue with the over sensitive steering.

i think the demo was pretty good, the graphics are really nice when they are set higher and the overall gameplay feels good, im definitely going to buy the CE

I thought the demo was excellent, Very pleased with it. Excellent graphics too.
Drifting was much better than in Underground 2, (once I got the hang of it that is

)

Out of the three cars that were on offer I found that the Muscle was a lot easier, and the Exotic was almost impossible. I have to say The handling is much better than Most Wanted, more on a par with Underground 2, which is good because that was the better game In my opinion (don't know why I just can't play Most Wanted anymore).

If anyones curious about the graphis here is a picture of mine.

Anyone else finding the steering for the demo (to any Sidewinder users) is way too sensitive for the Evo? I'm going to make the necessary adjustments before I buy the actual game but it seems much too deviated from U2 or MW.

Just saw the first North American TV ad for Carbon. Doesn't quite compare to the Most Wanted TV ads. The Carbon ad is somewhat bland, and the voice actor doesn't really have a very exciting voice.

With a demo released so late, barely any large-scale promotions, it makes me think that EA really isn't targeting new fans but rather wants to appease the old fans. IONO, just my two cents.

I don't think they screen any TV ads here in Australia. Didn't think gaming companies even used TV ads. They haven't really puta lot of effort into there promotion campaign this time around, maybe its because they have spent all of there time/money on making this the best game of the new genre yet? We can only hope

That's pretty neat!

Ya, I saw the clutch function in the controls. I guess you can set a clutch pedal or button now.

What i think that release of logitech G25 might have be the cause of the clutch function, there seems to be also possibilty assign keys to every gear individually which means the possibility to use shifter.. nothing new for us sim players but its nice from them to support more serious equipment.. allthough i wouldnt use neither feature in such arcade game as this is but its nice to have the possibility

Cargozer · Post by **Cargozer** » 30 Oct 2006, 09:27

Great, clutch will be a nice little addition to the game. And SJ, does 'clutch' mean 'kytkin' ?
