Who knows? Maybe another crazy idea from EA?

It's an oil slick you can dispense from your car to make the cars behind slip out of control.

It could be nitrous purge
i doubt it. nitrous purge doesnt come from the exhaust system

Well remember 2F2F Brian's skyline had them on front side of car infact near wheels, maybe EA made that you can chose where you wana put nitrous purge. Remember U2 we could chose nitrous purge in diferent colours and we could pick place from where they will release colored smoke!

And if that is correct then I am starting to believe that we will have modded U2!

It was kinda cheesy becuase the particle engine in the game was just so lame looking. It was more like a Nitrous Mist or somthing.

Maybe that is the same crap like in U2!

You should at least do some research before blurting out comments like those.

I stand corrected.

Yeah,that's really missing now
Drag is very cool

Stereo · Post by **Stereo** » 21 Jun 2006, 20:32

It wasn't very cool in MW and U2 though...

Calibra_14 · Post by **Calibra_14** » 21 Jun 2006, 20:35

But U2 is the best tuning game
Look at SRS,MC3:R,Juiced,SLR:R
Their worse then U2

Fadeproof · Post by **Fadeproof** » 21 Jun 2006, 21:06

no drag racing is crap IMO..that and drift was my fav racing in the games. i didnt like any of the tracks in U2 and MW though. still...they should keep it in the game

14th and vine in NFSU was the best one

You would think now that they have muscle cars you would have drag racing to really show off the new power.

99k · Post by **99k** » 21 Jun 2006, 22:33

Good point, I wasn't annoyed about no drag but after reading what you just daid, damn I'm annoyed.

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 21 Jun 2006, 22:39

Well great work EA!!
All nfs games must suck in something! MW didn't had Drift, Carbon wouldn't have Drag! What is with EA??

#240sx^break · Post by **#240sx^break** » 21 Jun 2006, 23:34

The just need to make a final nfsp game, where its 100% customizable.
tons of cars, way more features, state of the art graphics engine, suitible for all gaming systems (including pc duh) and top it all off with real life realism.
seriously, do you guys hit the walls at 233 MPH and live to tell about it?
no?

The picture obviously shows nothing more impressive in terms of graphics details than NFS:MW. I just don't see what's so "wow" about that picture. (That, and why copy-pasting large files makes my whole computer slow down.)

I guess it is a nice high-res in-game pic but... Er... Duh. Okay.

#240sx^break obviously means that EA aren't going to make the perfect game. Or course they aren't. It's called marketing. It's called making the customers buy every effing part of the series. It's what made us buy UG2, MW and what will make us grab Carbon as soon as it's out.

I don't want to praise myself, but the post I made comparing NFS and FIFA is really coming out true more and more every day.

The first real Carbon trailer:
EDIT: Oook, direct link doesn't work.
http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/ ... .20218.htm
- then click on Media...

Note: Actual in-game footage, none of that dark scene seen in the first teaser

EDIT2: After examining it a few times:
- The graphics looks fairly similar to UG2 with some of the improvements of MW
- Ok, I gotta admit, the mountain tracks look cool...if only EA also would have implemented day racing
- I like the music, no rap or rock...just fast-paced "tribal" trance/techno...I love it.

So far...my hopes have risen...but just a bit...

Just read their article and a few interesting bits popped up:
"Players who like to tweak their rides will love the new auto sculpting feature which allows you to modify a number of different auto parts much like how you would create a player in Tiger Woods with game face."
- sounds interesting but I bet it's just a fancy way of saying, "Yeah, the many ugly bodykits and useless options from UG2 are back"

"Not only that, but Game Informer Online will get to take a spin with Carbon in mid-July for our first hands-on preview of the game!"
- mark dates: end of June: official announcement with opening of official site, mid-July: preview of Carbon
