hook us up with som hi-res images from the pc demo. can you ask your uncle when the pc demo will be out?

So all you guys that played the demo, i watched some videos on youtube, from what i saw, the car only gets damage to bumbers,doors, the trunk,hood and thats it? Will the car bent, say if you hit the pole sideways?

pro street looks crap , poor graphics along with the use of terms like " grip race "



thank god i stopped playing need for speed

grip racing is not real racing, there is no rules in grip racing, just cross the finish line first

but the phrase 'grip race' is just stupid...

i cant wait to drive the 1996 ford escort

I will try to bend the car...(turns on 360)...

Well it seems that just about every part of the car has bent, twisted, smashed or fallen off, the engine is almost smoking a lot...but I don't think the chassis is bent and the car didn't wrap around the pole.

PC demo on friday!

Exciting! I just hope that the steering lag (using wheel) isn't as long as it is in Carbon. It goes like this : I turn the wheel, then I wait for two seconds, and the car slowly starts to turn. That really ruined the game for me.

I found dropping the rotation down to 300 degrees or so helped with the steering lag a lot.

It's nothing to do with the wheel mate, it was like that on the PS2..On Most Wanted Even in a RWD car, the front wheels seem to DRAG the car in one direction or another, you couldn't go from a standing start and not burn all your tyres off, you couldn't cruise properly, as the gearing (although reaching 200+mph in a stock Fiat Punto with just an Air Induction Kit) was too short, and you ended up having to put it in 6th gear to stop the engine screaming itself to death. The sound wasn't timed with the revs on the dials, the chassis twist from the Torque is TOOOO EXAGGERATED, CMON, A STOCK PEUGEOT 106 ROCKING LIKE A CHAV AT A TECHNO PARTY

its pimpin' yo

I think it looked like this:
DRIVER: *press accelerator key*
NFS CAR: *uhm*
NFS CAR: *uhm...*
NFS CAR: *oh hi*
NFS CAR: *oh, ok*
NFS CAR: *revs-up*
NFS CAR: *tires rotate and a lot of smoke is produced without reason while the car doesn't move*

NFS CAR: *lazly launches forward*


And have you noticed that the only way to catch a slide was to ude the infamous N2O?

Oh, and you can't start from standstill in 2nd gear! The car only shakes abit. Also if you steer left then slowly accelerate, the car goes right first then left Did I mention to catch a slide you absolutely have to go to opposite lock? Yes, to the lock or no recovery....

Actually I find the earlier versions Underground 1 & 2 much more drivable than Most Wanted or Carbon. They felt like there were 4 independent tyres and you didn't have to burn out every start, duh... It almost seems like they're done by two separate teams. Really, the Mustang in Underground 2 is quite believable. Only the FWD are a bit strange when they hold drifts and donuts

The sad thing is Yoyo, in the UK at least, people drive these games, and then when they win, they think they are Michael Schumacher, and that real racing is easy.... They also think things like (Fast and the Furious) Burning out whilst Wheelie-ing is real and drifting FWD cars like they are RWD or AWD. Also, did you ever notice how NICE the cars sound stock? They sound tuned from the beginning, and even the Peugeot 106 does 160mph stock........

The situation is not so different here, either. But from age 20 up people begin to laugh at NFS, so perhaps hang out with older guys?

About sound... I've read an interview about DOOM. They said the handgun must sound like a shotgun, and the shotgun should sound like a cannon. From a mass appeal point of view, I think they had a point. Technically, I find the sound system in recent NFS quite advanced for the reverb modeling.

Let's see if the somewhat more realistic Pro Street changes some minds...

Quote from Rtsbasic :

I drop it to 240 :P It only makes the seesawing less tiresome.

I just didn't like the way the sound wasn't in sync with the Revometer , although it isn't in real-life or, it is but not as digitally, it's very slow, but the NFS:MW revometer, used to miss out throttle blips on downchange, and other weird stuff, like when changing up a gear the engine would cut, but the revs wouldn't react so.

All that NFS and F&F have done for this world is produce an army of chavs driving small rotten hatchbacks with huge bean can exhausts that make your ears bleed. On the plus side it has killed most of those chavs, they think you can take a turn at 50mph and not crash into a wall. Natural Selection.

You and me have a lot in common ATC
I'm also a firm believer in not warning people about blatantly obvious stupid stuff. Like coffee cups with "caution: hot" on them, etc. If you can't work it out, you deserve all you get.

My current thought is I want to be the guy who gets this kind of thing added. McDonalds coffee cups have heat warnings, sure. But they don't have "this way up" signs. So I wanna pick one up upside down and burn my legs. Lawsuit, money for me and an extra warning on them in the future

Anyway, back on topic. LFS good, NFS bad.

This is meant to be an example of a rediculous law suit, but actually she was suing because McDonalds make the Coffee way hotter than it actually NEEDS to be in order to make the Coffee (ie they heated it to 180° when 120° would do, and wouldn't cause 3rd Degree Burns...).

She wasn't suing because it wasn't labled as hot at all...

You could just not spill it Anyway I am going to America on holiday, I will eat a plastic fork in McDonalds and sue them for not having a sign that says 'do not eat'

It was something along the lines of her being in a car, and as it came to a junction is spilled on her tights, and she couldn't clean it up for about a minute and a half - by which time she'd got 3rd degree burns on her legs.

I did a 7-page long essay on McDonalds, and then one on Health & Safety for my "Applied Science" course - i've read every single "Health & Safety" scare story, and realised that the Daily Mail (and my parents who read the poxy thing) are a bunch of journalists who's arseholes could do a better job
