Carbon's Cut Features

keanhong · Post by **keanhong** » 25 Dec 2006, 17:40

juz get it when i surfing in Wikipedia

This is a list of some of the features that were, according to the original design, going to be in the game, but either due to time restraints, changes in design or difficulty of implimentation, were cut.

* A police helicopter that fired vehicle immbolizers was going to be in game and persue the player's car after reaching heat level 3 or higher, but due to the complexity of the pathing needed, was cut.

* Customizable license plates

* Drifting against computer players, but the programmers had difficulty in programming the AI to drift.

* Rain during drift races

* Another type of crewmember, a Persuader, who would cause traffic to block the player's opponents, was cut due to programming difficulties.

* Traffic in Canyon maps

* Many UCAP (Similar to MOCAP but with facial expressions) scenes were cut due to the sheer amount of rendering power needed.

* 20 Car races were cut from PS2, Gamecube, and Xbox consoles due to lack of respective processing power.

* A "Tuner" flag girl (currently there are only Muscle and Exotic flag girls ingame)

* San Juan being the starting area before going out into Palmont, complete with cop cars

* Being able to adjust the Ride Pitch of your car, making it slant downwards.

* Being able to get more than a 20x multiplier on Canyon Drift races.

Real or not??

Wow, very interesting stuff - nice find!

Alot of thinks could be very well true.

The reason of the helicopter is was just because of the high buildings and smaller streets in the game and it made the chopper fly into stuff (or trough stuff)
I doubt there would be a more advanced helicopter anyway.

And I really doubt there was a plan for a customized licenseplate. EA skipped the custom plates after people used it for in apropriate words etc. in NFS 4.

Woah!...nice find mate!...i checked wikipedia about a month ago, but there was nothing worth posting here at that time.

BTW i though wikipedia wasnt a very trusted source for information...since its an open source thing

Very true...

Still, That sounds like a stupid feature anyways... No point. Id rather have real scrambled plates instead CARBON on all my cars.

i think also neons were cutted...
and some city areas, just look some "old" pics and try to find them, also like MW.

Post by **TheStig** » 26 Dec 2006, 04:39

I really doubt NEON was ever in the game.
The only thing you saw neons in are in the first teaser movie. and that's it.

Well if they made a Carbon teaser movie that included neons, doesn't it stand to reason that they were cut sometime soon after that, Stiggy?

Technically, anything that was in the game concept that isn't in the final version has been cut. Since we saw neons in the first ever teaser of Carbon, they were in the concept version of the game. Since they're not in the final version, they were cut.

joablo · Post by **joablo** » 26 Dec 2006, 13:23

"maybe" they will include the neon in theyre patch wich will come soon

anyway... any news about the patch?

t3ice · Post by **t3ice** » 26 Dec 2006, 14:30

Patch?!

, lol i dont they'll be anymore patches coming from Ea anymore...

BTW the inability of the guys at Ea to program the AI to drift sounds Lame..imo

In a way your right but I there never was a ingame footage of NEONS on a car that is what I ment. sure if you look at it from that pov it is true.

Ooh some of you are really optimistic, do really think EA will give us extra features in a patch?
Trust me there won't ever be Neon's in Carbon, atleast not made by EA.

Neon is a cool thing for a car show yes , but following real life people wont install neon on their car it will just slow the car down.

Post by **GT3x24x7** » 26 Dec 2006, 19:25

Someone please explain how adding neon will slow a car down? They can't weigh more than a few grams. Also, who's gonna tell all the kids around my city with neons on their cars that in real life, people just don't put neon on their cars?

Driv2Slow · Post by **Driv2Slow** » 26 Dec 2006, 20:27

actually i dont think neons are heavy enough to slow a car down

It's simple: neons are a new light source and with all the reflections in NFSC it would take a lot of gpu power to process them meaning the framerate would go down and the cars would appear to be moving slowly

Oh.

*runs out to tell the ricers their neons are h4xxing their framerates*

Inability and difficulty to program. Dear god. And these guys are the top of the pile when it comes to games companies?

joablo, do you know how friggin large the file would be if they included neon files in the next patch, who'd download it. Besides, neons are gay and should only be on showcars. And a second thing about neons, they're under the car, and your car is racing and always jumping, so the neons would get crushed and busted when they hit the ground anyways.

Tuners Rock · Post by **Tuners Rock** » 27 Dec 2006, 02:17

Thats true. there always jumping, they would get crushed, and neons are gay on all the cars except tuners. There pretty nice on some tuners.

If EA makes a patch to put neons in Carbon, I will quit going to the showroom. I don't want to see neons on a Pagani or on a Koenigsegg.
