Need For Speed: Carbon

Post by **TheStig** » 19 Jun 2006, 04:20

In the article is one part that is so damn typical for EA:

Here:
"We do all sorts of surveys and focus tests and all that, and we get a great sence of what people enjoy and what they didn't enjoy. etc."

Sounds all goed doesn't it???

part 2 right behind that:
"But if you went trough that and litterally made the game that they are saying they want the next game to be, you are not going to succeed."

Then together with that comes this:
"you have to go somewhere where they are not expecting you to go."

(when I saw the name LaPierre I instantly thought he has to have a french accent so to fully enjoy the text below read the parts by LaPierre with Ze french Accent)

So this is the way EA thinks these days, a conversation in the EA Canada building:
(when I saw the name LaPierre I instantly thought he has to have a french accent so to fully enjoy the text below read the parts by LaPierre with Ze french Accent)

EA guy: look Mr LaPierre the poll's are in, they want us to have a game with day and night racing...
LaPierrre: hmmm interesting, but if we do that they expect us to do so... and Underground 2 was basicly a disaster so they will never expect us to do that again... wow I am smart...
EA guy: You sure am LaPierre, here is a other thing, everybody complained about the hidious bodykits we made to rice up all the beautiful car, so they want to see reall bodykits like Bomex, Veilside and wings west...
LaPierre:Oooh do they?? hmm... You know what my grandfather always said??
EA guy: No...
LaPierre He always told me: "you have to go somewhere where they are not expecting you to go."
EA guy: aah right so what are we going to do then???
LaPierre well easy, we keep our own design and make them even more "special" the will never expect us to keep that in the game

Actually, TheStig warned you before after you said "hmmm" the first time, so be careful next time, this is called spamming, more of it wont be appreciated.

Edit: Nice conversation Stiggy

, thats probably what is said in EA these days.

you mean LaPirre or however you spell it.

Next step for Stiggy, make a video with this interview and get 2 card boards where you draw LaPierre's face on it and the EA Guys face on it and record it and put it online, much more fun *jk*

As i can see now at the scans it looks like a nice game already.
I'm quite interested in the whole 'crew' thing but like other said before,
What is the point if you race with a lets say Golf against a Porsche GT and you win?

Sure it's fun if you win and u get credits or whatever system they are using.
But it's completely unreal.
Ok it is an arcade game, but still every kind of arcade has a bit of reality going through it.

well, here, split railings, cant hit anyone, canyon racing is dangerous, that is some reality.

You mean the yellow thing with the light?
It's not destructed because it's not bumped .

Custom molding your own visual parts will definetly bring out in the artist in us all. (Praise Jesus!) I've been wanting to see that kind of feature for years

this sounds uber complicated.... sounds like we'll be spending more time trying to get our car the right way than we will be spending racing.

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 19 Jun 2006, 21:27
