"Drift Button" - my ingenius idea for NFS
Ok, this idea is just so brilliant and revolutionary that you will simply pee in you pants when you're done reading it.
The idea: a button that, when held down, converts the driving physics of the game into those of the drifting mode.
An example: you know when you're usually cruising around in free roam at full speed and you get to this nice, long, wide curve and you can't do anything but keep the pedal down and go throught it with youre tires screeching.
If you had the "Drift button" you could push it, a little speed bonus indicator would pop up (like in regular Drift mode) and you could gracefully slide the curve sideways with the wheels spinning and the smoke billing.
Whaddaya think?

sorry m8 but i really hate that idea
i also hate the breaker thing which is sorta this thing but in slow mo..
(might be cos i really hate the drift physics in carbon.. i want total control!)

That would be an interesting option. I don't understand why there are 2 separate sets of physics engine parameters for this game. Then again, what do you expect from EA?
This was designed to be an arcade-ish racing game that allows people to emulate the driving in the latest Fast and the Furious movie, just like the last few NFS games. If its a real racing sim you want, go play Live for Speed.

dont go play live for speed! pick rather rFactor.. theres so much to drive in it due its "open source".. almost weekly coming great mods.. i feel live for speed seriously lacks something..Cyfun wrote:That would be an interesting option.

and its not a argument of superiority cos rFactors open source thing is simply unbeatable

agreed, i dont have a muscle, but I have a Rx7 for my free roam happyness drifting... But just tune it to all toruque, little speed hear and there.. it realy makes a diffrence...
Re: "Drift Button" - my ingenius idea for NFS
try playing muscle type car, there is drift enought even if you take grip tiresThe_Highwayman wrote:Ok, this idea is just so brilliant and revolutionary that you will simply pee in you pants when you're done reading it.

Its all about the american muscle

Yep, that's why I love muscle carLyrian wrote:try playing muscle type car, there is drift enought even if you take grip tires

Re: "Drift Button" - my ingenius idea for NFS
I don't think it should be accessible DURING the races; however, I think it should be a selectable option when selecting the race options. In addition I think if this is going to work they need to have a slightly different selection of tracks for drift-race mode (as in, slightly fewer of the highway tracks and some of the longer drift tracks, as well as some mountain-y tracks like Carbon's canyons).
Re: "Drift Button" - my ingenius idea for NFS
I have to say, I really like this idea and I think I understand where you are coming from. You see, I love to play MW and just drive around and look for trouble with the cops. For me, there is something so BADASS about bolting away from the cops and then drifting around making them look like fools.The_Highwayman wrote:

In MW I would have to turn in and tap the speed breaker on and off at highish speed in order to "drift" because the physics are too arcade in NFS. Doing this was the only way to unsettle the tail enough to get some sort of drift out of the cars before the guiding-hands-of-arcade spoiled all the fun.. Let's not confuse drifting with a little 10m tail step out guys. I don't care how much car setting up you do, you can't really drift in NFS games unless you are in the drift mode. See my video to understand what I'm talking about:

EA should just create physics like those of Forza 2...
Re: "Drift Button" - my ingenius idea for NFS
Basicly what Gavh2 already mentioned get something like the Forza 2 system, it's not that they should build in drift physics into the normal engine, but build simply good physics that allow you to tune you car to be able to drift on the road or on the drift track (or both ofcourse)
In forza 2 you can tune you car so you can drift (originally there are no drift races in the game, but because the engine is so specific you can tune your ride to get very nice drifts.
Powersliding is never a problem in Forza, drifting is something you have to learn to master in that game.
Just search youtube for movies
