Need for Speed: ProStreet demo tomorrow?
Expreview states that EA Games will release a demo of the upcoming Need for Speed: ProStreet game tomorrow.
The "driving area" of the game has been re-worked to offer a more authentic experience. As in the prequels, all race circuits will be closed - you will not be able to choose your own way from point A to point B in a race. A new damage model will be present in ProStreet, and the racer will have to repair his car after the race. 4 game modes should be available.

But yeah repairing car damage should be a welcome feature.
If you look at these, you see that cars actually take time to accelerate now (like they should) and it's not instant top speed like it has been. Also with clutch introduced, those with shifters will surely like it.

Those who said Carbon was great, I can't understand. It was so dark you couldn't see anything and still ran bad. I uninstalled the demo once I saw wheels pointing out the opposite direction you were turning while drifting.. (like a turn to the left, back slides out and tyres still point to the left. The car spins it doesn't drift!) Driving model was just bad all around, maybe you could get used to it after a while, but I couldn't.
For me it's first about the feel of driving, if it's good anything top of that is a plus. I urge anyone who likes Carbon to try out Street Legal: Redline (or the orginal one). Yes it looks like crap on todays standards, but once you have tweaked your ride right, you can powerslide for real.
4WD twinturbo 600hp ride with more power delivery to rear was just pure awesomeness to slide through corners. Mind you if you crashed you had to pay for the repairs your self and first take the car apart to do the repairs. Even tyres weared down and cost money too.
Maybe there was more to Carbon than the demo let us know and maybe those how like Carbon will hate or already hates Street Legal series. I can only hope we all like ProStreet together :)
The Fast and the Furious culture has killed the racing sims, although Test Drive Unlimited was a breath of fresh air. Eh, there is always the NFS modding community, although it aint what it used to be.
edit: it came ^^ not true
