EA can't live without a porsche in a game, I think underground has one (i have to check) and Underground2 (have to check 2)

There's no Porsche in U1 or U2.

Underground series haven`t got any Porsches.

The carlist is like an interpretation of my dreams...

Its like ..EA actually read all of our requests ....about the Skyline and Eclipse

GRAET carlist

But ill have to drive a lot of quick races to satisfy myself, because i want to drive all 3 classes

t3ice · Post by **t3ice** » 08 Sep 2006, 18:20

I have one question....

Do u unlock all the classes simultaneously or each class has to be unlocked
by playing the whole career over again....

I'm thinking it's simultaneous

I don't think that how the Career mode actually works from the start has been disclosed, but from what I've got it's going to be that you can start from any of the three classes available, and each one is going to have a few starter cars.

Although this could be quite arguable, as to whether someone can start with an exotic, which is by far much more expensive and to be desired as a career goal than any other car. So I guess that they could have the Exotics class locked for a while, maybe you have to get reputation and territory first to join them.

being able to start with whatever class you like would be really nice

id go for the muscle cars most likely or the viper. where does the viper fit in muscle or exotic

Only if there will be Car list part 3 what I doubt!
Honda and Ferrari... we know that already... maybe they are there... but don't get your hopes high at ALL!

4... the Audi A4.. who in the name wants that car back.... it sucked in MW, it was boring, slow and not at all a sporty car. just a 3.2ltr luxury sedan.
If EA puts in a Audi 4 series they should put in a RS4 not a normal boring A4...

Hmmm how can you say maybe they are there when carlist os finished??

And yeah agree with you about RS4 but hey that car can be tuned propertly!

Kid Cro wrote:Hmmm how can you say maybe they are there when carlist os finished??

because it isnt finished, if you read stuff you wouldve known this..

there are currently 45 known cars... there are a total of 50+

you do the math

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 08 Sep 2006, 20:30

i think the viper will probably be in the muscle car category because of the way it typically handles which is not too great but i love it

i think thay need to add the bmw z4 m coupe to make carbon be a perfect game.

From what I've gathered from the videos, and this is just speculation, is that your starter car dictates the car class of your crew. As you advance, you may buy cars from other classes, but your crew will still be classified by the class of your starting car. This is my interpretation of the information presented to us in developer interviews, so it's possible that I'm wrong.

Danyutz · Post by **Danyutz** » 08 Sep 2006, 22:45

I'll go with prince

Abrams · Post by **Abrams** » 08 Sep 2006, 23:10

I think its like prince said as well. Prolly they just wont be that good on open roads with tuners if you battle the exotics.

i agree a z4 would be awesome... but i think we better stop complaining... we got the skyline, the old eclipse, alot of muscleness, and maybe CCX and Zonda...

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 08 Sep 2006, 23:25

still, they gotta add something small and sexy..... anything like a pontiac solstice, z4, new mercedes slk, weve got an 06 eclipse, and posibly a toyota mr2....

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 08 Sep 2006, 23:29

Well, a Toyota MR2 is a rumored car, as it was seen in the credits to the Autosculpt Video. Just cross your fingers and hope.

Anyways, I just noticed something looking through the Carbon screenies. The older ones show the cars with different headlight colors. All the newer ones show them with the same bright white headlight. Just something I noticed, I don't care either way.

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 08 Sep 2006, 23:39

I also noticed in the newer screens that the cars are a lot shinier...which I honestly hate. The colour palette in MW wasn't too great but it was closer to real colours and even though Carbon is not as colourful as UG2...it's still fairly colourful...and the whole blue vibrance is not cool either...

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 08 Sep 2006, 23:49

i didn't like how overly colorful u2 was, and i like blue vibrance better that u2's bright orange-yellow color was. carbons vibrace looks the same as u1.

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 08 Sep 2006, 23:54

I like the blue vibrance over Underground2's horrible "dark grunge" vibrance. The blue in Carbon gives a cooler night time effect. Granted, the colors are not as colorful as some may like, but the overall effect is better than in most previous NFS games.

@Fishwhiz
I heard a rumor somewhere that the EA team has been developing Carbon since the launch of Underground. That's right, not Underground 2, but Underground. Underground 2 was just a grab at more money, and Most Wanted can be considered "testing the ground" by adding Exotics with customization to street racing. If this rumor holds true, there's your explanation why Carbon's vibrance looks similar to Underground's.

too bad theres no neon srt-4 =/ hopefully honda will be in the game and honda corporations is taking long to confirm because hondas started the tuning world and it would suck not to see at least one in this game.

hopefully the "unhardcore" nfs fans who did that survey didnt say there was too much ricing in need for speed games because their terms of ricing is just plain stupid.

Nope, it was plain Turbo, but what I don't understand is why EA put that crappy Cayman, and don't put 911 Turbo S. It is my favourite car in NFSMW.

But on the other side, 1999 Eclipse is back, so... ;o)

What's wrong with the Cayman S? It's the best handling car in MW even when it's stock. Plus you get to modify sooner because it's considered to be a lower class version of Porsche's.
