NFS Undercover: possible trailer leak?

[TheStig]

.....

Another guy who thinks U2 was a succes

My tought exactly,
If he said Underground and Most Wanted I would agree, but U2 wasn't nearly as good as the original Underground, sure if you are a utter ricer it was the perfect game for you, cause you can max out your car with loads of useless sh*te, that had nothing to do with racing (hydrolics, spinners etc)
Sure it had some good things/ improvements over U1, like a free road system and more cars and things like that.
But it also lacked alot of good things that the first Underground DID have, like a decent and original storyline (everything after NFS U was just a copy of the same story with a small twist) Underground 1 had very good tracks where U2 did really have good tracks that where fun to race on and, all that because the whole city was build on the Free road system and the tracks where basicly a point to point system build in the free world, where U1 had designed tracks with the "world/city build around it.
And U2's online system was worthless compared to that of U1. the whole big room system in U1 was working brillaint, and it had a big community.

That's enough about U2.

Let's go back to Under....cover

I really really hope it's about racing and doesn't get a GTA feel to it (with or without guns) cause if EA does that I really leave the franchise.
NFS is a racing game, not a criminal/ mafia game with cars in it.

Hey I read that you can play in the night in some Night street racing cups so that maybe means that NFS Undercover is gona have day and nigth http://www.nfs-center.de/index.php go to this page go down and you would see a photo of a car... I hope this is true

@ TheStig: I think that if they want to make a decent storyline (and have elements of The Transporter), guns may have to be involved one way or another, even if it's just shown in cutscenes. Police are nothing new to NFS, so I don't think it's a far stretch from other decent games in the series to expand a little with real-life situations which may involve weapons.

haha. i hope there incar view. and hopefully the aston martin v8 vantage in the game. gosh.
anyhow.i hope the story line works. and i hope i dont get bored in 5 mins like how i did with pro street.

[Carcrazy]

@ TheStig:

I agree with Porsche that allowing weapons could greatly improve the storyline's realism, but I'm also with you on that if EA tries to make it a GTA Look-a-like, I'm moving to Forza.

[mean2u]

If the game does incorporate guns into the gameplay, I'd assume it could be a passenger shooting out from their window. Your job is to keep up with the target vehicle while the AI keeps shooting it.

[Porsche-AG]

See, that's just dumb if anything like that is put in. It has nothing to do with racing anymore. The most I'd want to see in terms of weapons is in the cutscenes and/or movie if there is actually one being produced alongside the game. That way, you can get the realism/action from weapons to move the storyline without actually disturbing the gameplay.

Hi im jordunk found a very interesting tidbit i wanted to share since you are my favorite nfs site i was searchn across the web and came aross this

Post by oilersguru on Apr 10, 2008, 7:04pm

This is the story they just sent me.
also with two alternative names now. The Chase Down and Pursuit. and then asking me which one of the names the story best fits the title.


The FBI sends you, a new-to-the-force local undercover cop to infiltrate and takedown international car smuggling ring run by a Vietnamese crime boss named Dung Ha.

Working together with the help of your Federal handler, Chase Linh a sexy femme fatale, you soar through the streets building your reputation as an independent wheelman making money off of street races and no questions asked criminal jobs for local gangs in order to be recruited by Dung Ha.

As you get deeper into the scene, you begin to fall for an exotic street racer, Carmen Mendez, who helps you to see that this is all a setup so that Chase can steal one of Dun Has valuable shipments.

the krazy thing is the date is april 10th 2008 and we jus recently found out that christina millian will be playing carmen mendez yet this person knew this since april way before ea released a single thing...wow this is big a story outline before 7/30/08...i posted this in the undercover section chat box but everybody seemed to miss it...this source link is there if u need to check the source for yourself

[reputated]

if u have seen the interrogation video, you will notice a time stamp kinda thing flashing twice during the video. once at the start and twice just before the vid ends. the code is -- 29:08:44:59.
it's shown the same both the times. i tried entering this code into my cell's keypad but it gave no results. however there is one twist. if u enter this code backward i.e from 59:44:08:29. it gives 'KWIG TAX' as the result. does this mean anything?

the way EA has generated the hype is too good. its so full of suspense.!! cant wait to see more

[Rizur]

EA really did it interesting this time
I was wondering do they even realise how much we know already.
All the number codes were solved and 'hidden' videos found quite quickly. Lets see what new puzzles they come up with what we could solve

Btw do we know the names of the actors who are in the book that you can found in http://www.whichroadtotake.com/ by clicking the top shelf? (first comes that short vid and then you can click the notebook on the table)

And im amazed how great videos they achieved to make for backing up the storyline... I think it has to have something to do with that NFS TV show piece of news.

Seems like googling for 8633726837 returns this page http://www.dragonminded.com/dsorganize/ ... s/pred.dic with the numbers meaning undercover... The page itself looks like a dictionary. Are there any other numbers on the whichroadtotake website?

NEWS!!!

"Did You read this Information about NFS Undercover?!?!

=> NFS Undercover Jason Interview!

Just right after E3 2008 EA provided a few information on the next Need For Speed title. They said that they are working on 2 titles one for this year and one for 2009! Today Gamespot had a chance to catch up with Jason Garles the Lead Designer of Need For Speed: Undercover.

Gamespot was curious to know what are they planning to do with this title? So they asked 1 question and it was, "There are rumors around the web that you are going back to Need For Speed Carbon, NFS Underground, NFS Most Wanted?".

Jason replies "Half those rumors are true... We are going back to NFS Most Wanted & NFS Underground but this time it's all about action not just driving!".

Jason hinting on the official Wiki Page that he is "PLANNING" to add a first person shooter prospective to the series.

This is the link with the actual Information:

FAKE FAKE FAKE
THIS is absolutely nuts. How in earth will NFS become a GTA? I don't believe this at all. Show us some REAL proof and not just advertising a site which is a .tk (free domain) rather than a thursted source of information. And also there's NO such interview on Gamespot. I should tell Gamespot about this false information.

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/driving/need ... lt;title;2

You see ANY interview with the dude mentioned in that page? The only interview they have is Ricitello's one.

Stop joking please ok?

Anyway, wasn't some info supposed to come out on the 30th? Has anybody found anything anywhere, or were they talking about the new sections on the dossier?

"Shut Up!"

PS: "I know of what I'm talking about!"

I don't mind weapons used in cutscenes or anything, in MW they showed weapons also (be it ever so slightly) but as long as it is not in the gameplay I don't mind.

[Porsche-AG]

Yeah, that's basically how I feel about it as well.

[xturbo]

"Shut Up!"

PS: "I know of what I'm talking about!"

Any proof? I'm talking about A REAL text, audio, video or something pointed by the trusted media? NOTHING, just advertising that site which you lifted or other guys to create false rumors. You first started lieing and now you want to be thrusted? Dude.....no...

With only 29-30 posts you think you're an expert?
Noob? That's the only word you can say? Come on!!, at least do a decent site with official news, not like the type of person that ur saying posting false news about something which is just being revealed. You are just acting like one.

And if I'm wrong and you're right, who cares? I'm going to die? Is the world going to die? Grow up at least and think before saying something stupid. If there's nothing around, don't start talking crap because you confuse people and generates a lot of confusion. Or at least say something useful like any theories, what you think will happen, but don't talk if you knew everything because you are in the land of "Nobodycares" if you talk things that aren't confirmed as if they were.

@Ontopic: I really feel a great storyline being developed here. I haven't seen this kind of acting in NFS. This will be really really exciting to start discovering and to figure out what's going on.

@SLJ: Yes, they're working already in the next NFS, the one that will take 2 years from now on. As stated, there are 2 teams now. 1 is working with Undercover and the other one has started his work in the next NFS (2009-2010). So basically i think we will see a better NFS after Undercover if they manage to test the game and see any problems they encounter during the development to avoid having a disaster like Carbon and Pro Street.

Later

[Fishwhiz]

i'm sorry, but if this game is anything like gta, then i will just quit on nfs. i also want to know how we will get a decent gameplay experience if the storyline is so big. this game has better got a quickplay free roam mode, a my cars, and good cops.

[Carcrazy]

I'd be (happily) surprised if they did that, seeing how ever since freeroam was introduced it's been limited to the Career modes. (Excluding U2)
