hey guys about the release date you should check the license plate from the back of the car... it says 31 05 07 but right under that there is a JAN ... probably 08 because 07 has passed

its a completely different car shown that crashes. well, its the same car, but a different same car(rx7, modded differently)

@ thestig- well, yes, if i were a game producer with a huge amount of fans, yes, i would want some critics, but if they only point out all the bad things all the time and never told me i did anything right, i would stop making that game. then the fans will be sorry when its gone.

This is weird, ...they just showed some wrecks.

Does this mean they're working on the things that were left out before?

Is that info true? in that case.... HOLY shiznit!

Python_S · Post by **Python_S** » 23 May 2007, 15:30

You got great imagination Gronholm! Now that would really kick a*s i would really really want that to be true! And if certain cars(Supra, Skyline) could be modded insanely like in real life that would be the thing!

Guess what, your not a game producer..

Please don't tell me that Carbon was a good game, cause it was not. yes it had some good and nice things but as a complete package it was not a good game, it had to many flaws and bugs in it, it had a short and not at all a original storyline. half the cars where "accidently" locked. PS2 gamers got screwed (while they payed basicly the same price as other gamers)
The Tier system looked good but had several flaws in it like powerfull cars that where in the wrong section, drifting was weird and utterly unrealistic.
The online system is simply not good, you can't team up with friends very easely specially in ranked games, you have to search both at the same time with the same criteria and even then the chances you find each other is not sure.
But I won't burn it completely to the ground cause it had some really nice and new things in it like: A nice carlist, with very nice new cars like the Charger SRT8, the classic muscle cars, they brought back Nissan etc. The ingame movies movies where nicely done (animated caracters in game). They canyon races where nice. and the challenge series where nice. Customizing was nice but not as good as they made us believe.

Most Wanted was IMO a better game, they GFX was a clear upgrade when you compare it with U2 but if you look at Carbon it does not look any better then MW, IMO MW had more new options in terms of GFX. in MW the sun moved and it had active shades wich Carbon did not have (duh night).

Look Carbon is not a horrible game, but it's clearly not the game they made us believe it to be. and if you can't see that I'm sorry.
I can remember that you FIZWIZ where the one that complained the most about how EA Screwed the PS2 users and now you are defending it again.

All I wanted to say here is that a teaser like this (wich isn't even 100% sure to be ingame) is not going to get me hyped over this game.
The teaser does do a good job cause alot of people are getting hyped about it.
And I am not saying I am not going to like this game. At this moment I am completely neutral about it. it can turn out to be eighter a good/great game or a bad game.

There is 1 thing I hope and that is that EA has been looking at the competition and that games like TDU woke EA up abit.

@ the list gronholm posted.

Please don't trust it. as you can see it's clearly a mix of all the cars in MW and U2 with some extra muscle and a few tuners added. with all races in U2 and Carbon.

EA will never reveal a full carlist and all ingame info about it before even revealing the first bit of info.
History also told us that EA will reveal the cars in steps.

gronholm · Post by **gronholm** » 23 May 2007, 16:22

Well thats true, but if it is real

Than it is cool, I just did copy/paste from another site

Yeah, I cant seem to find the same info anywhere else

Probably fake.. But it is cool, that headlights taillights + dyno + some other great stuff

Post by **Morty** » 23 May 2007, 16:52

I don't think the stuff gronholm posted is accurate at all. Judging by the teaser, we're off the underground theme, and more into pure racing (pro drifting), and fighting for territories doesn't really make sense... I never liked the territory thing either tho, I still want NFS to be about racing, not about Hollywood drama, but I'm pretty sure the next NFS will have some of that as well, so I'm not getting too excited about this yet...

red_dawg · Post by **red_dawg** » 23 May 2007, 20:41

I don't think it is a legal race. I think it's just the trac from a drift race. Maybe. i'm not sure. the graphics look incredible, and i hope the game will at least have a longer and harder career mode.And more cars:). I liked having 50+ cars in carbon.

Sounds more like a "wish list" than anything factual.

i thought that carbon sucked, but i don't think you read the part of my post about critisizm. it is good, but i would not like too much, because i would be offended with that many people telling me i suck.

vegettoxp · Post by **vegettoxp** » 23 May 2007, 21:58

Hey Guys, I just read about this today and I am LOST. Is this going to be the next NFS Title or is this a update to Carbon (Which in my opinion was not good). So if someone can tell me what the Heck is this, it will really help me out.

THX!

If you are a really NFS fan and not a new-ricer starting from MW, you will notice the difference with the OTHER nfs games such as HP2, HP, Porsche 2000, High Stakes, etc.

NO! it's not, just a "guess" or a list he made that something there can be true, but NOT OFFICIAL!!!
And the game IS NOT released in May 31....jeeezz

If they did it with MW and Carbon, why not with this one?
EA LOVES messing stuff at the VERY LAST moment, as they did with Carbon...

madog.bnk · Post by **madog.bnk** » 23 May 2007, 22:23

look how many people were over the top with carbon and look at what actully happened when the game hit the shops, full of bugs, coppy grahpics and a sort ass storyline that led no where, what u think will happen to this

OwnerVillage · Post by **OwnerVillage** » 23 May 2007, 22:30

ow yea finally a real game EA finally dears to have damage the reason why there arend damge models is becasue manufactures dont like their cars smackerd up and that the people see that their not safe @ scale models it takes alot of money and risk cuz once the people saw the damage models they want it in all the NFS games so hope this wil work out gr8 and no bugs...
