NFS PS: Career mode impressions at IGN

Excerpt:
"Car damage plays a part in your vehicle's performance. Rather than influencing all sorts of nuances to your performance, there are simply three levels to the damage that you can receive. Light and major damage affect your car's acceleration, top speed and handling in either minor or major ways, depending on what level you're at. These are full car effects, so no matter where the impact occurs, it'll affect you in the same ways. This is nice in that you always know exactly how much of a detriment a crash will be on your racing.

Beyond light and major damage, you can also total your car, which not only takes you out of the race but leaves your vehicle unusable until you get it fixed. With light and heavy damage, you can continue to take your car into races, though it'll perform at a less than ideal level. When it's totaled, you'll need to use a specific ticket that you can win in order to bring it back from the dead. Without said ticket, you'll have to rely on other vehicles until you pick one up"

"There's a total of 55 cars to be found in the game that range across a huge spectrum of performance. The tuning mechanics, which we've covered in-depth right here, let you tweak and change each and every ride in a multitude of ways. We managed to take a 2008 Porsche 911 GT2 and bump it up to over 1,000 horsepower. We then managed to take said rocket out to the track and record a 0-60 time of 2.19 seconds. If the game simulated the structural integrity of vehicles the car probablyo would have torn itself apart when we hit the gas."

There are only 2 tracks & 2 cars only & its very small also, finished it within 15 min.

Waiting for the full game now, I hope they release this here on 14th itself!!!

[shantanu]

[bikdel]

@vish786

are those in-game grafix??... i dont think so...

i think they are screenshots from the movies...


BTW... why is it that the game-movies look so good and game-grafics are nowhere near to it??


i know it depends on GFX card but i played NFS Most Wanted on a 6800 XT
with everything @ high @ 1024x768 and the grafix are still not as great as in movies great....??


what kinda hardware does it take to get grafix as good as the one shown in game movies?

Geforce 8800 Ultra in quad SLI? :))

those are pre-rendered scenes.

Of course u will need a machine from 2020 to play at that realism.

ok, in that case just take a snap of the monitor wit ur cam...and now pls don't say that as u click screen goes blank :)
He wont show those screenies so easily.

Its mine precious kinda thingy:)):)):)) from LOTR

[bikdel]

^^^ pre rendered scenes meaning something rendered on the manufacturers GFX card and video supplied for Intro in our GAmes... right?

but to get that pre-rendered scenes, you will need a GFX card???

what kinda card ???

card like Quadro or something I think.Those scenes are created with Maya/3dsmax or something like that.

[bikdel]

^^^ nah.. quadros dont have 1/10th the power of those cards.

quadro doesnt have anything to do with quad... 4 i mean.. its not a graphics powerhouse ..

you can even softmod a geforce fx 5200 into a quadro for work with 3ds/maya...

:-P

Ok now tell me how they made Final Fantasy XII advent children.

Actually the processing is easier when u know wat happens next in the coming video frame.

But when u r playing game, the next frame depends on the player movements and thats realtime animation. So it needs a good graphics core to process those calculations.

But for pre rendered ones u know wat frame comes next, u just pile up the things frame by frame and thats pretty easy compared to realtime animation.

Installing it right now...I'm going to post up my opinions in a minute...

[s18000rpm]

I'm going to post up my opinions in a minute... how come your 1 minute is 1 hour for us:p

& no opinions yet.

Thoughts on Demo
I've been waiting for this game to try it for a long time. I got to say I'm a little disappointed.

1. The crashes are a little boring :x. I slammed into a guy going 199 mph with that BMW on the speed challenge (the cars top speed is 200mph) and it seems more like I crashed into him at like 40mph. The car I crashed into barely moved.

2. I really hate that shaking camera >.< I makes me drive worse and makes it a bit hard to concentrate.
(i too hated even MW's camera, NFS PU had better camera :|)

3. I was playing the grip race with the Skyline and I was using my N20 on that long straight way before the finish and I was also using the "Close" camera. But when I used my N20 the camera went back behind the car and I had trouble seeing in front of me. ( :D )

come on, its not a loooong demo anyways. :?

Third Eye, com'on man.

If demo is of 795 MB (only one option i.e Speed Challenge activated, then Full version must be of around 5 to 6 GB it is my thought). :cool:

Where are the reviews ?

[vaibhavtek]

@WRC Rocks

as it says it requires 8.1 GB free disk space or more that doesn't mean the game is of 8.1 GB.

It is telling abt the minimum space should be available in HDD.

Be caution about the words written.

[WRC Rocks]

i guess "nvidia8800" was talking about this (8.1GB) size.

he also typed 8.1GB only. p



you're PWN3D & without words, & now you say its min. reqs. size...blah blah blah.


jus jokin, dont take it serioulsy. :))

see ya.

[T159]

no reviews till now ???

[rockthegod]

Ok then, I will TRY to write a review of the demo. I played the demo around 20 times yesterday.... For Screenshots, please refer to the other thread here:
http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72305

I tested the demo reluctantly on my laptop: Intel C2D 7200, Ati Radeon X1400 mobility 256 MB, 1 GB DDR2667....

* Its a little disappointing that such a large sized demo (~800 MB) features only one car and two game modes - Grip racing and Speed Challenge. No car customizations are possible in the demo.

* The graphics are gorgeous though the polygon count felt quite low some times (maybe due to the fact that I tuned my Ati driver to "Performance" mode instead of "quality")

* The demo is extremely well tuned. It ran at 25-30 fps on my rig with all settings turned to their max at 800x600 (xcept AA/Af/shadow).

* The gameplay felt quite different than the earlier NFS franchises. In default camera mode, the camera angle and car view changes with the track and car speed making it a little difficult to control the car sometimes and I personally felt that the gameplay was oriented more towards Racing Simulators rather than Arcade Style racing.

* This game unlike the NFS tradition features damage modeling and the damage level can be pre set through the settings.

I WILL UPDATE THIS REVIEW.....

[s18000rpm]

thank you , waiting for more screens & hoping for youtube videos too.

[faraaz]

Okay...finally got it to run...here are my quick impressions:

1) Total sim feel now..but that changes depending on level of assists you choose...if you go for the Casual assists, then its almost like playing NFS PU, but if you go for the Pro level thing...its like playing Gran Turismo...but faster! :) Overall...I dunno...still not comfortable, after playing Most Wanted for so long.

2) Graphics...hmm...they're okay I guess...but since my config is not very new, I'm not able to play it at a very high level of detail. However, considering I was able to play Most Wanted on this config...I dunno...I liked the over-bloom style of MW a lot...not so much the cheap plastic look of Carbon. Environments are hot...cars not so much...

3) Damage is annoying. Not as realistic as a game like Colin McRae DiRT, but not arcadey like NFS PU either...

4) KILLER LOAD TIMES! The game feels very unoptimised...jittery when it runs, random freezes while playing, especially when in a pack of cars clustered together on the streets...

[wirelessraj]

How many of u r planning to buy a legal copy of this game???

I think the PC version would be priced at Rs.999 & the XBox 360 version for Rs.1999.

[Third Eye]

Damage system is annoying and car's handing too. :x

They even changed the Nitro system.

Looks like EA has concentrated only on graphics. :x

[wirelessraj]

Can u elaborate on how the damage is annoying???

[QwertyManiac]

Game sucks, am not playing this one. Gives me the Spider-Man 3 creeps!

Repeat: What Third Eye said. Damage is *$&($&#$#@ annoying.

[faraaz]

@wirelessraj: It is hard to explain how it is annoying if you have never played Colin McRae - DiRT...

[rockthegod]

Game sucks, am not playing this one. Gives me the Spider-Man 3 creeps!

Repeat: What Third Eye said. Damage is *$&($&#$#@ annoying.

The game does not suck .. but the changing camera angle may give those creeps..... :) just wanna know... QM did u play PREY ? If yes... how did u feel during the gravity changing mechanism ?

I liked the new gameplay (changing camera) btw... its quite claustrophobic and makes the driving quite challenging.... just like ur head swinging away as u r turning around narrow bends with high speed.... :) Its feels awesum.... :)

The damage is weird but detailed.... from in-car view, if u hit another car in front of you, u can see the glass panes realistically cracking away (depending on the damage).... but sometimes the damage system really behaves in a funny manner.... it may be quite annoying for some people.... :)



KILLER LOAD TIMES! The game feels very unoptimised...jittery when it runs, random freezes while playing, especially when in a pack of cars clustered together on the streets...

This is not true in my case.... the game loads extremely fast and it feels completely slick and well tuned ... :)

[T159]

lets see...
It shouldnt be like u feel repetitive at the mid of the game.

[Harvik780]

I liked the gameplay but graphics are not quiet up to the mark.Their are low res textures even on the load screen.
I was playing at 720p with everything to high 4xAA and AF in game.

[faraaz]

I have a config which is slightly better than the minimum recommended config, and the game is unplayable (runs at 4 - 5 fps on a P4 3.2 GHz, Radeon 9800 256 MB, 1 GB RAM).

I'm not going to bother playing this game I think...going to reinstall Most Wanted again...

[vaibhavtek]

hey i am going to play NFS MW after completing NFS U2.
What is special in NFS MW that all times u guys are taking abt it?

[QwertyManiac]

vaibhavtek - You'll know when the game starts itself, at the warning video ;)

[rockthegod]

What is special in NFS MW that all times u guys are taking abt it?

It IS THE BEST NFS released till date.... thats the specialty.... :)

[hemant_mathur]

Just play NFS MW and you will know .. it's one of the best NFS till date.

Pro Street looks good .. damage is nice but the cars are not as responsive as MW (no response at all from light tapping). Also the FPS stays at around 22-25 .. droping to 17-18 sometimes making the game stutter. Am playing at 1440*900 at all high and 8x AA on Vista x64.

Can't go above 8x AA as it displays "Missing string" after 8x. Anyone else getting more than 8x AA option ?

The opening videos get slow when ESC key is presssed.

[blackleopard92]

this is a demo guys, demos don't ship with all the bells and whistles..

[QwertyManiac]

Right, but let us whine, that's what we do. :))

Pressing the escape button lags the game during a cut-scene. It feels like as if the game activates the menu but then learns that its a cut scene and avoids showing it, lol.

[Third Eye]

Escape = Screenshot Capture Key in Pro Street :lol:

[naveen_reloaded]

will this game run in my config??

core 2 duo 4500

2gb ddr2 667 mhz

nvidia 6200 tc

320 gb sata hd??

edit:
just now installed the game...

and ran @ 640x480 resolution..

to say the truth the gfx is awesome at this setting itself..

but the gameplay..

guys i have to say it really is killingme and my keyboard..
yeah may be its due to thier hyper realistic physic.. whtever..

but after playing Mw or carbon , this games need more time to find a WAY to CONTROL THE CAR...

one hit on the electric post or on the side .. u r doomed.. u cant even steer the car properly .. which will ultimately lead to other crashes to follow..

but still going to try and spend spme time with it..
had a brea k .. so came her and shared My first opinion about the game..

but the GFX is awesome even at the minimum resolution..

[nvidia]

At what settings are you playing the game and how many FPS are you getting?

[Harvik780]

Let me see how this game plays with a controller.

Edit : Played it with an Enter Dual Analog Vibration Controller with the drivers installed and guess what the car was more than easy to control in the speed challenge with racer difficulty.

[bikdel]

guys i also wanna try it out with a controller...

should i invest in a JOYPAD with FF... i mean will it be better for the game than the traditional keyboard?

i should get a cheapo joypad in around 500 bucks shouldnt i? i mean that may add a new dimension?

what ya say guys?

[faraaz]

@bikdel: Not really...instead of being crappy to play with a keyboard, it will be crappy to play with a joystick...that's all...

[s18000rpm]

obviously, for any racing game, game pad gives much better control & makes your life a bit easy :D

now-a-days GamePads (chinese) cost just 200 buks.

btw frm wat i cud gather (frm nfs forums), stay inside the road, dont even touch the gravel (off-road), the car loses traction & its hard to get the car back on road, especially with KeyBoard.:p


---------

you guys are cursing so much for just this sub-sim NFS, try GTR2 & you'll say, "NFS PS Rocks" :p

[faraaz]

What's GTR2?? And s18000rpm, I'm a Colin McRae DiRT aficionado, having played and completed that game a lot of times...so I don't think its the sim nature of the game I don't like...except its the retarded implementation of these concepts in NFS PS, which were done so brilliantly in other franchises a long time ago.

[naveen_reloaded]

i set everything low and set at 640x480 res..

i dont know how many fps i get .. but i get decent frames.... no lag actually..

still the controls are really horrible.. i cant even turn the F^^^^^^ car...

hope this is not be a issue in the final release.

[s18000rpm]

What's GTR2??

:shock:

its the big daddy of Simulation games. (KING is still F1-C:)))

http://gtr-game.10tacle.com/index.php?id=246&L=1

GTR2
"Extending the ground-breaking physics engine found in GTR, GTR 2 takes the thrill of driving to new heights. GTR 2, which is the official simulation of the FIA GT championship, features more than 140 high detailed cars and 34 different track-layouts in a hyper realistic racing world with breathtaking real-world-like effects. With a revolutionary Driving School Mode, GTR 2 will teach everybody how to become a real race driver."



And s18000rpm, I'm a Colin McRae DiRT aficionado, having played and completed that game a lot of times...so I don't think its the sim nature of the game I don't like...except its the retarded implementation of these concepts in NFS PS, which were done so brilliantly in other franchises a long time ago. CMR DiRT is not a full sim. it lies between arcade & sims, jus like the NFS PS.

i havent tried PS yet, so i dunno much about its driving physics.

it'll take some time to adjust to this game, thats all.

[QwertyManiac]

Escape = Screenshot Capture Key in Pro Street :lol:
Loltheymad? :lol:

[Harvik780]

^^Yup.Makes me wonder why.

[faraaz]

@s18000rpm: Would you say Colin McRae Rally 2005 is also a arcade/sim hybrid?? I was really good at that game too...

[s18000rpm]

yup, no doubt on tat. CMR05's a arcade type game only.

get GTR2 / RACE :WTCC or any EA F1 game. that'll give you a clear picture of Simulation racing game.

[faraaz]

Oh...in that case, I stand corrected. :)

Lets just amend my previous statement to say that I don't like the way damage is implemented in NFS PS compared to some other franchises...:)

[naveen_reloaded]

demo got two levels .. sort of am i right???

[hemant_mathur]

It's got 2 race modes - Grip and Speed.

[W i d e S c r e e N]

I installed the demo yesterday. It's almost compatible with old hardware.
I tested the game with 7800 GT and Radeon xPress 1200. Both were playable @1920x1200 & 1280x800. The graphics arent captivating. The sound is 5.1 i think. The game uses it very efficently.

Handling cant be argued at this point 'cause we only have a BMW xxx & Nissan Skyline at our disposal

The HUD on a widescreen resolution seems to be cropped in (it's like Media Player Classic's "Touch Window from Outside")

The developers seemed infulenced by CMR Dirt. (which I wont bother to play)

Controls/Menus/Options are pretty much the same as Carbon.
3/5.

Screens of the Menu were blackened out. No HUD are displayed in the above screens too. Resized from 1920x1200

[vaibhavtek]

cool pics buddy.

I had also played and taken screenshot and will upload it and post in this thread today.

[Hitboxx]

Don't get me wrong but I didn't find anything new in Pro Street, lest alone call it a simulation. It all started with Underground, it had every racetype, then they started splitting up the individual types into individual games. Milk .,milk., milk., I tells ya.

But the graphics are getting very neat, no wonder, a case in all modern games. I hate drift and drags, I'm more of a circuit/knockout/sprint type. And when is EA going to provide a decent driver/cockpit view? I guess never....hate racing games without cockpits :|

GTR2 ownz!

[The Conqueror]

I think it has the best graphics ever.Waiting for full version! I can play this game on 8x AA, Highest Details @ 1024 X 1028 res.

GTR2 ownz! welcome to the club :D

btw why is EA not providing a cockpit camera ???

CMR's cockpit rules as of now (but only on high end configs).

EA says NFS PS is more of a sim & then they dont giv a cockpit view :|

this PS wil attract more ppl if they giv cockpit view., coz no other game has these latest cars. (2007 BMW M3, Skyline GT-R...)

Yes, there is a need for cockpit view + the driver needs a change, I mean there is no animation of driver he is just a stationary 2-D picture.
With this graphics, driver animation and cockpit view can make this greatest games of the season!

[shantanu]

are u guys saying that NFS PRO STRT is a simulation game ?

i agree with u but more people like to play with near and far camera view

[s18000rpm]

stationary driver!!!

thats an info for me.

but if you add animated driver, it wil definately take more resource. jus like CMR DiRT

atleast they can put low resolution diver animation, like GTR2. (which runs on my onboard GMA X3000 :D)

[The Conqueror]

I liked the driver animation in nfs hot pursuit 2. since then no NFS game has Driver Animation.

[T159]

I liked the driver animation in nfs hot pursuit 2. since then no NFS game has Driver Animation.

I can play the damn NFS HP2 game anyday.

Its the second best to NFS MW.

[s18000rpm]

I liked the driver animation in nfs hot pursuit 2. since then no NFS game has Driver Animation. what animation r u talking of?

coz afaik there's no in-car animation .

====================

is the road texture good?

the pics say its low detailed.

You can see the inertia effect on Driver. Gearshifting hands are visible.

Before MW was released, it was my favourite NFS game. Lots of supercars, cops, be the cop mode, neatly designed tracks and awesome graphics (though reflections are not musch realistic). It was a complete makeover.

[amey_dude]

instead of nfs hp2 i liked nfs pu the most....best game in nfs series i think....it had best driver animations....gameplay...story....graphics (at tht time)....and everything....it was the best....i still have the game installed on my pc....

[The Conqueror]

Best in car animation is of Test Drive Unlimited:cool: . It even has cockpit view:p .Plus one can open/close car windows :p

[nvidia]

Has anybody played the game on 8600GT? Can you play it at Highest settings and with 4xAA? Please let me know how many FPS you get in the game..:D

[hemant_mathur]

I played it at 1440*900 at all high with 8xAA.. FPS is around 20-25

ASUS EN 8600 GT is factory overclocked and is much faster than 8600 gt:cool:

When I played NFS Most wanted Demo, i was shocked that the game didn't include in car driver animation or a cockpit view.I thought it is demo then I purchased nfs mw and was sad that it did not contain cockpit:mad:. same for carbon.Hope there is cockpit in Full version of PS

nope. no in-car camera in PS.

The Best gamepad i have Used till now is the Xbox 360 game pad . Wired version comes for Rs 1200(palika price) n works both on PC n Xbox 360 :) . Wireless version omes for Rs 1900 , but u need to buy MS Dongle to work with the PC(although dongle can support up to four controllers simultaneously so is a good investment if u want to play a lot)

Also , the best part is that MS Has started made PC Game Pad standardization , what this means is that newer games from most vendors will come preconfigured for the Xbox 360 controller on PC , so you can just plug in the controller and start playing without any configuration .

[bikdel]

i also got two of 'em :D good in split screen multiplayer sessions.(CMR04/05)

you mean to say the NFS Split Screen 2-player option on the same computer, don't you?... :confused:

I havent tried it with NFS Most Wanted and i would want to play mostly MW with the gamepad... :))

hows it? tried it with MW?...

i completed mw wit gamepad, nice experience, & was playing GTR2 wit it (simulation game)

[bikdel]

ohh. no split screen in NFS except the good old NFS 2 ?

pooh..

anyways NFS 2 isnt bad.. i enjoyed 3 years with it and can even today spend lota time palying it...
i liked its handling via keyboard... much easier than NFS 5 or Xpand Rally Xtreme..

played Xpand Rally Xtreme?.. i love it.. :))

[s18000rpm]

i hated its engine sound , car gfx. :x

other than that, the gameplay was good, better than cmr. :D

i tried the nsfps demo.. and i hate to say it.. it's the worst demo i have played.
I own a AMD 3000+, 1gb Ram, 7300GT system, and the game gives a max of 20 FPS(fraps) on vista with everything turned low at 640x480. I can' t comment on gameplay yet as the game hardly runs, but from whatever i played, the game hardly gets any adrenaline flow giong.. just plain bland racing.
I tried installing it on XP but the demo simply crashes to the desktop and the visual studio debugger comes up.. totally pathetic show.
Hopefully, the retail version would have solved many performance issues that seem to haunt this demo.

other than that, the gameplay was good, better than cmr. :D


well in almost all RALLY games ive played, the car GFX are never too good... not upto the mark... but if you use the other cars available then it looks awsome...

its more due to cars and colours than due to the gfx engine of the game.. :)

car sound seems easy on ears... it sounds good on a 5.1 though im not really able to concentrate on sound while playing...


BTW pro street demo is out since long and there is hardly anyone who has posted Screenshots.. n im dying out to see some FULL SIZE screenshots...

what about you... do post some screenshots... wont you? :)

[s18000rpm]

^dude, i cant, coz i'm away frm my PC, even if i had the demo it cud't hav run it (GMA X3000 gfx. :))).

about Xtreme Rally, i was also talking of the car visuals only, the environment & stages are superb. 8) , its just these non-licensed cars (replica's) with below standard engine sounds, that keeps me away frm it.

[bikdel]

^^


yeah ... i mean just look at those car body deformations.. NFS coudnt ever reach that level... i mean you have wheels going off and bumpers falling and then suddenly you have to drive a cart rather than a car :))

and it really effects car performance.... though id say its overdone a bit...


anywyas im stopping here... its going wayyy off topic!! :))

Gameplay > Graphics.
ftw

[Dipen01]

IMO both are important Gameplay and Graphics..The only gain can me made by proper contribution of both.. Say you have awesome gameplay but stupid graphics or vice versa, it wont really help..

In case of Pro Street.. its too hard to determine anything just based on Demo.. Even i didnt like the handling at the moment.. Graphics are ok at the best.. not good than Most Wanted in my opinion..

Lets see what the real game offers..

[The Conqueror]

nfs ps graphics are good and gameplay is also good.but 1 thing i dont like is there is no cockpit view+no driver animation.

PS. if they want to avoid driver animation then they should change glass color to black as in NFS2,3, (also midtown madness)

mann!this game is very very boring.
gfx r not so gud.

at first i thought of buying it but after having a look--i'd rather play carbon\mw

my rating-4\10
quite simply this is EA's own version of Juiced with some facelifts and tweaks.

[nvidia]

^^Was that.. PRO STREET??
Are you playing it at ulta low??
0.000000001/10 if you have taken that screen shot at ultra high settings.
1/10 if you have taken that screen shot at low settings.
I expected more out of Pro Street. :((

[nish_higher]

currently i m using 2*7950gtx on a lg crt monitor.playing the game at the highest possible settings.i mean all high detail thats possible in the options.yeah thats 0.00000000000001/10.
lemme post some more screenies.whatever it is and despite carbon sucked to the limit as ppl said-this is the worst race game i've ever seen.even test drive is 10\10 when compared to this

[nvidia]

NFS 2 was better than this.(exaggerating)
Its the worst NFS game ever.
0/10.
I wont classify it as a game.:mad:

things i noticed-
1.no storyline
2.closed tracks so no wandering (no free roam)
3.no nitrous recharging-only 2 times u can use nitrous.maybe later in the game there's an option to do that but not when u start it.
4.cars dont have a good handling
5.who said it was hd??
6.its all about driving only to earn points and experience-nothing more than that.
7.ther's no motion blur (whatever happened when u r at high speeds) like in Mw/carbon.
8.in drag u see only 1 opponent while u race 6\8 of them

thats it.uninstalled.

who made this? Electronic Arts, Canada(?).

[nish_higher]

posted more screens above + my review
by the way if there's a way to take screens from a hdtv tell me and i'll post them here.

[Sunny1211993]

even midtown madness is better than this one.
poor gfx.
poor gameplay.
is nfs ps a game??

[W i d e S c r e e N]

I wonder why was this made. Maybe they had pressure from the Auto Giants to push their car releases for the new year. Or the game was made just in passing, like one creates a power point prensentation just for fun and from what i gather from nish_higher's review it wasnt fun for anyone else.

[nish_higher]

maybe they made a simulator for those auto giants and when it didn't work they decided to make a game out of it.:D

[nvidia]

This is the worst game ever. My friend put this game for download in 3 cyber cafes..lol..
Im going tell him to cancel the downloads

^ u too have a good card.try the demo


I need to download it..
I have just 1GB download pm.. So im not going to download it. My friend is downloading the game i told him to cancel the download. Im never going to run this crappy game on my comp.:mad::mad:

[Third Eye]

Pro street is the crappiest game in the NFS series.

EA ruined the game by changing its genre to simulation type. :x

[Sunny1211993]

@nvidia 8800 -if u r talking abt DLing the full game then u r talking something illegal.

[nvidia]

^^Oops... Sorry guys..

[nish_higher]

its not available in stores yet.but its on ebay.thats where i got it from (not my purchase)
also someone is providing the serial only for 1000rupees+optional original game dvd so if u have a copy of the game u can use the serial to make it legit.and that seller has a good rep.

[[xubz]]

^ Original will cost just Rs.950! (as with all EA published games, like HL2: Orange box, FIFA 08, Crysis). So just wait!

[nish_higher]

i am happy to use my friend's copy for a review.the game really suks so i'm not playing it.so i m not buying.gonna save for gears of war.

[vish786]

will pro street run little smoothly on this config ?
AMD Athlon 3000+(single procy)
fx 5200
ram 512

[[xubz]]

^ Maybe at lowest settings.

[bikdel]

yeah.. @ 800x600 with everything low... tried the demo with my fx 5200

thoughts from a nfsunlimited.net/forum (http://forum.nfsunlimited.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15285&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&sid=9a848130ca15567e76e408a2138e7589&start=50) member

Fact is, this NFS contains a lot of the things old fans of the game have been asking for. (exactly 8) ) When I say old fans, I mean fans of the original game idea, pre-Underground. Customization was not a big thing, neither was free roam, nor a story line; the purpose of the game was pure racing. It was a way for people who would never drive high-powered cars to experience something they never will outside of the game universe. Fact is, customization, free roam, or a story mode are not essential to have a good racing game. Now, I know my opinion will be hotly contested by others, but what does that matter?

i guess i'll be enjoying this game :p

[nish_higher]

^ the idea of the game is too good no doubt.but the thing is they just couldn't come up with something promising.pre underground games like PU and HP 2 were based on the same idea and i played them time after time.this might b another sequel to them but isnt quite interesting.also if people were to use this game to fulfil their dreams of high end cars why is the handling like driving on ice? :(
but thats my opinion.i advice u try the demo first if u wanna buy the game.

[xbonez]

if its simulation racing is similar to that of NFS PU, then it should be fun

[BBThumbHealer]

Then the verdict remains : MW > Carbon > PS ? :confused:

[Third Eye]

^You are right :D

[s18000rpm]

Then the verdict remains : MW > Carbon > PS ? :confused: c'mon man, carbon > PS :shock:

it cant be tat bad.

[Zeeshan Quireshi]

c'mon man, carbon > PS :shock:

it cant be tat bad.
Yes , it's that Bad .

Specially on my 360 , in which the animation looks superb and the intro movie's good too , but the gameplay is TOTAL CRAP !

[Pathik]

And IMO MW > Carbon.

[faraaz]

I agree...MW >>>>>>> Carbon ~> PS ...

Of course, if you expand the comparison, then you get:

MW >> NFSUG2 >>>> NFS:PU >>>>> Carbon ~> PS ...

This franchise has gone down the drain...

[sandy_bhai]

I have P4 2.4ghz
nvidia 6600
and 1.25 gb ram

will it run on my config

[deathvirus_me]

Don't even bother .. this game redefines crappiness !!!

[faraaz]

@sandy bhai: No it will not run...I mean, if you turn everything off, you might be able to get it to run at some 5-6 fps but its not worth playing at all...I have a comparable config with a faster CPU...doesn't run on my laptop at all...

[s18000rpm]

PC:
1UP: 8.0


PS2:
Gamespot: 6.5

PS3:
1UP: 8.5
IGN: 6.8
Game Informer: 7
Yahoo Games: 4.5/5


Wii:
Gamespot: 6.5

Xbox360:
TeamXBOX: 9 (Editor's Choice)
1UP: 8.5
Gamespot: 7.0
IGN: 6.8
Yahoo Games: 4.5/5

And while Yahoo says "EA completely overhauled the Need for Speed franchise to create what is arguably the best game in the series", GameSpot on the other hands thinks "What it all boils down to is that without the story, cop chases, and open world of the last two Need for Speed games, ProStreet is just another racing game".

Two completely different ways to look at the NFS series and thus completely different scores.

I had the chance to play it intensely in the last 2 days and it's gets better as you advance. Firstly i was disappointed by the cartoonish look,the same visual customization limitations, lame dyno (i was hopping for a one like in U2), annoying commentator and weird music... I said EA did it again... But than as i advanced got some serious mods on my car, turned off speech and world lighting or something to eliminate that cartoonish look the game started becoming really interesting.
Driving my 800hp Supra on the track with all assists off is a pleasure both by feel and sound you really need to concentrate to keep the RWD monster on the tarmac is very challenging not to talk about dragracing which offers the best feel yet. And doing a wheelie and coming back on the ground with your hood camera is really scary
Of course it lacks replays , proper dyno, more dynamic visual customization but EA tried to bring good things into this title and partially succeeded.
As far as i played i would give it a 8.

[iMav]

but atleast its abv average in all reviews :p and not being bashed like carbon :lol:

[The_Devil_Himself]

well carbon was bad and this seems to be worse.I am happy with my MW,Here I come my fully upgraded Fiat punto!!

[faraaz]

Well, to be honest, IGN & Gamespot are the only ones in that list who know what they are talking about. Yahoo Games?? Seriously dude...you had to search a lot to find a site giving high scores, didnt you?? And considering the kind of scores IGN & Gamespot hand out all the time, anything below a 8.0 is horribly bad...

[nvidia]

well carbon was bad and this seems to be worse.I am happy with my MW,Here I come my fully upgraded Fiat punto!!
Youre right.
NFS MW is the best NFS game released so far...

[T159]

well carbon was bad and this seems to be worse.I am happy with my MW,Here I come my fully upgraded Fiat punto!!
a punto to drive in MW ???
U didnt like any other cars ?:confused:



Gamer rankings gave 73% to NFS PS

Its a really low score compared to Most Wanted.

[The_Devil_Himself]

man have you ever tried driving a fully upgraded punto in MW?Its very cool it feels like you're floating in air as soon as you reach a speed close to 150mph.The feel is amazing.Its fun.

[T159]

Hav you tried dodge SRT fully upgraded. Lambo Gallardo fully upgraded. SLR fully upgraded. EVO fully upgraded. BMW M3 fully upgraded(no it cant be ugraded). Camaro SS;)

I hav tried them all. I suggest u to try them as the game was meant to play with them as you advance in game.:D:D:D

Btw my top speed was about 191MPH with lambo Gallardo

[xbonez]

my fave car in MW and carbon was the murcielago. rock solid stability. sticks to the road, and instant acceleration...

[The_Devil_Himself]

@T159:dude I have completed that game a million times and I have had all the cars you mentioned but I just can't the feel of floating in any of the cars you mentioned(they are very stable).So its more like personal favourite..the name is cool too punto!!.lolzz.

And Dodge SRT was the twitchiest car in MW. Handling was bad until u drives it like a badass driver.

Gallardo was the most stable car in MW.

[faraaz]

My favourite car(s) in MW were all the Porsches...Carrera GT was just insane at top end, and the 911 Turbo etc were good too...

I liked Caymen, it was fun esacping thorugh the tiniest spaces from the barricades:)

But for kicking cops a** (those SUVs) SLR was just the right choice to fly'em to elysian fields.

[xbonez]

Just finished Pro Street Demo and wrote a short review to it. do take some time read it.


Well, I finally finished the NFS Pro Street Demo Version. Yeah I know it is a bit late considering that the full version has been released a couple of days back, but anyways… The first thing that comes to mind is that the demo is rather short, but with the full version out already, I won’t slam them for that. As for the gameplay, it isn’t all that bad as some review sites have bashed it.
