Need for Speed ™ Carbon delivers the next generation of adrenaline-filled street racing and will challenge players to face the ultimate test of driving skill on treacherous canyon roads..

55DSL items are specifically tailored to the game, bringing with them the unique style and tone of the brand. Exclusively designed clothing for the game , will be available only through local EA events around the world and pre-order campaigns.

Andrea Rosso, the Creative Director of 55DLS is enthusiastic, “When the opportunity to work with EA, and in particular Need for Speed™ Carbon, came along, it seemed like a natural progression for us. I’m a gamer and I’m going to play this game for sure so to see characters wearing our exclusively designed t-shirts and other items, is really amazing for me.”

“This partnership adds another layer of authenticity to our role in street culture”, says Larry LaPierre, Executive Producer. “Having 55DSL integrated so tightly within Need for Speed™ Carbon adds an increased sense of realism to the game and gives fans the opportunity to wear exclusively designed items that brings them closer to the action.”

Then why'd you even bother to post here?

Should be fun to see what sort of designs (or lack of) come from this little venture, heck I might even buy it if it's good....

Could it be possible that because of that now people want to buy the game and clothes more?

But anyways the game feels more realistic, now they dont just wear some cheap clothes.

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 02 Aug 2006, 19:57

yeah, you're right. those clothes are what i would expect an illicit street racer to wear.

Perhaps you can custom order the clothing you want later on with Autosculpt.

I don't like this.....it's just "nfs game has sold out" this time.

what? man, you won't be in a GTA game, you will see the car, not the driver, the clothes will appear in the movies, the actors will wear them

the driver will

And how do you know that?? Have you seen the scenes?? No so how can you talk about it! Maybe you would be able to see the driver and his clothes!

Maybe you should read the press release again, especially the last 2 lines in paragraph 3.

Edit: Since its about the driver, i doubt you will even be able to see him, just like NFSMW.

oh well the driver will wear crap clothes, like the other guys in the nfs series, but the actors will wear them, if not them, who will wear them Kid Cro? i didn`t see any scenes or anything, i`m just supposing .. jeez many tense mates around here

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 03 Aug 2006, 16:41

nah, it's just Kid Cro.

i have yet to see any screenies where you can see the driver. in fact, i have yet to see any screenies where you can clearly see the inside of the car.

the clothes will be worn by the actors in the FMV sequences.

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 03 Aug 2006, 16:41

Sorry no offence! I'm saying that driver will wear clothes but we will not be able to see the drive's clothes onyl on movies!

Dude, are you retarded? That was suppose to be a joke about using Autosculpt to select the close you want to wear in real life.

So I guess this is what EA meant when they said the money going into E3 was rather spent on product development.

Give me a break. EA has sunk to new low levels. If they wanted to offer the consumers a more realistic feel to the game, start with the handling of the cars.

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 04 Aug 2006, 16:24

Well this is the easyer way isn't it?

Even is useless!
