The new GameTrailers video...it is a preview...NOT a review. There is a big difference between the two...

Also, I've noticed EA still has no fixed the shadow problem when using Speedbreaker...totally unacceptable...

yeah , i noticed that too , what's wrong with EA , why do they have to be such an lazy ass , that problem with shadows was from GC2006 already and they havent fixed that yet, i afraid this one is gonna be a bug ridden game again

Download Need for Speed Carbon!!!

WAIT! Before all the admins and mods jump on me...
...LEGALLLY download it here...well when it comes out (you can pre-order it now):
https://account.ea.com/commerce/product ... p=commerce

I've been waiting for a while for EA to put up NFS Carbon to their EA Online Downloader so I could do this...

lmao you had me going for a second there 2furio. But, I'm afraid of what the download speeds will be on Nov. 1st

. And it definately won't be a small game!

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 13 Oct 2006, 22:40

Like I've said, I've been waiting for a while to be able to do that.

Anyways, in the corner, it says how long it will take you to download it:

Download Time
* T1: 12 hours
* Cable: 8 hours
* DSL: 16 hours

Some screenshots from the recent GameTrailers Preview Video:

Transmission Tuning? Therefore there is Performance Tuning:

Still packages in the Performance Department:

Also, I read this on the official NFS boards. Has anyone noticed that you can use Speedbraker online? Watch the Online Featurette Commentary...

Nope, same price but you don't have to go to the store or pay shipping. Plus, your game will be ready to be downloaded first thing morning November 1.

Yeah, but not that spicey coverart, and no manual.

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 13 Oct 2006, 23:34

There's always a PDF version of the manual in D2D games.

I can always download a picture of the coverart, plus like prince1142003, you get .pdf manual with the games. When you buy the game, it's about the game, not some stupid box...

lol i read the topics on that website about the demo and evryone whines about the fps :S i mean hello?? it's a demo ffs!!! and they say that they won't buy it and so on...

This caught my eye

In essence, you can tune your car exactly how you want it; more importantly, you can set up your ride for each event you enter to give you a better chance for winning

Interesting... Sounds a bit odd, though don't you think? Being able to take different performance parts with you into different types of races?

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 14 Oct 2006, 01:06

I think the noob Gamespot editor was trying to say that you can tune your car...the same way you could in Most Wanted...

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 14 Oct 2006, 02:33

i just saw that the car list thread at the ea fourms was unlocked, and easmoothie said thatign shold have part 3 soom, an that the pagani zonda and 71' dodge challenger were bonus content with collectors edition.

IGN put a bunch of cool new screens

http://media.ps3.ign.com/media/826/826965/imgs_1.html

seems like theres gonna be drifting with multiple cars from wat i saw from one of the screens

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 14 Oct 2006, 04:16

^ sounds insane and epic- I like it!

xturbo · Post by **xturbo** » 14 Oct 2006, 04:19

I have a bad feeling about this mate.....Something is wrong with the demo and the whole game.....like my 6th sense is telling me now (my nfs side)....

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 14 Oct 2006, 04:25

These features:
* Ultimate Performance Bundle - automatically unlock every performance upgrade in the game
* 1971 Dodge Challenger
* 2006 Pagani Zonda
...are not for those who get the Collector's Edition. These features are for those who DOWNLOAD the Collector's Edition through EA's Downloader which is just bs by the way. I'm not worried, I'll find a way to get those two cars...

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 14 Oct 2006, 04:30

what about consoles? do they mean nothing or something? i want to drive a zonda in a nfs game, but i have an "outdated" ps2!

Flameking · Post by **Flameking** » 14 Oct 2006, 04:30

*giggles* im surprised fish, that you didnt see the match up in one of those screens *giggle*

Mercedes SLR McLaren vs Renault Clio V....oh it doesnt matter how much valves.

LOL

Fishwhiz · Post by **Fishwhiz** » 14 Oct 2006, 04:33

does it ever matter.... i mean did it ever matter in a need for speed game?

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 14 Oct 2006, 04:33

Hiya!

A few more cars from the Collector's Edition are going to be revealed on IGN any moment now.

I don't see any Zonda...

EDIT: 'Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City' (NDS) - 5 New Screens
