It's nice and all... But... I only see the environment blurred, while the opponents' cars aren't blurred at all. Is that due to photo-shoot mode or something?

Those screen are at max setting ,i'll go to play it and write a review soon , but one thing is for sure that NFSC is really heavy , a 7900GT cant handle it at max setting/1280x960 !!!!!!

that sounds like BS....
either your cpu sucks, or your pc is just slow
no way that card cant deal with nfs on max.....

(if this is really true im going to be sick :( )

Well, when you mention performance, you might just as well give us your PC specs along with it. CPU, RAM and GFX card are the only things you need to mention.

My system spec is:
Pentium D 930 3.0Ghz
2gigs DDR2 667 RAM
7900GT 256MB

Dunno what's wrong with NFSC though , can you guys run it and check out ?

Damn it, i have exactly the same specs but with a 7600GT, hope it runs fine at 1024x768, if not, then EA screwed up again. :x

my specs are: p4 3.2
geforce 6800le(unlocked)
1gb ram

shouldn't I be able to play at least on medium

That's a question only EA knows the answer to. My guess is yes, you should, in 1024x768. But from what my experience tells me, NFS games could have always been more optimized than this.

It's like the PS2 demo i think

So here's my hands-on for the demo:

Graphics: Looks just like the X360 version , but motion blur is like crap , i cant believe NFSC have such crappy motion blur. I dont know what's wrong but it's really heavy on my computer, i can only play the demo with everything at max, turn off AA, and 1024x768, that really sucked ! ,coz my VGA rocked almost every games out there

Sound: i havent mention the game's sound much but i really like the engine sound of the Evo

Gameplay:
Circuit: 8 Players racing , AI is pretty stupid i think , i've got first place about 30 sec after the race start and leave them far behind. Car control is nearly the same as NFSMW

Drift: I just cant get a grip on drift although i know it's different this time, coz i cant control the car normaly , first i think that drift sucked , then i switched to the Evo and it 's really good at drifting , i've got 60.000 point in my first try with it .

Duel: It's very exciting , i've roll over the rail a lot of time :D

Tunning: Havent tried yet

Edit: No online mode. And if u quit the demo , u'll have to play it again to unlock the canyon duel , Drift kick ass with the Evo !!!!!

I'm using 1024 x 768.


EA must really suck, I can play games like company of heroes on medium graphic setting without any lag at all.

I'm thinking about canceling my pre-order on this game because i hate playing games with all on low. Damn you EA! When will they learn that they cant release crap all the time. Work another year and release something good next time.

Maybe Carbon demands high performance graphics cards? Something I kinda doubt btw. :roll:

spike_minoda, can you play with everything maxed out at 1024x768 ?
