and don't forget drag on wheelie's + I hate the top speed limit on drag race.

I did some really awesome drags in Prostreet. I found that the better the launch and gear shifts, the less likely you are to hit the top speed. Topping out basically means you screwed up early in the race. I wish I kept the recording of a near perfect 1/4 and 1/2 mile drag races in the Ford GT.

I consistently got 1200'+ on wheelie competitions (wheelie from start to finish). It was too easy.

The only thing really challenging in the entire game is the speedrun races with the fastest cars. It is way too easy to screw up and almost all screw ups meant you lose. Those races are only fun at sub 200 MPH speeds.

Actually, I beleive the plot follows after Most Wanted but right before/same timeframe as Carbon takes place (if you pay attention to the story modes). I heard this release is going to be brill, tons of free roam, more than Carbon and UG2 combined. I don't have my release shipping yet, I want to see if there are a few demos out before I truly decide.

Sounds like they are trying to pull a Test Drive Unlimited then. I think Need for Speed needs to find a direction. There is very little consistency throughout the series so instead of improving the wheel every time, they try to reinvent the wheel as a square, or an octagon.

Everything I've read says that Midnight Club LA stomps this game into the ground.

is there is any AA in these pic(s) cause i can't see any AA

Yeah. I have 6xAA set in-game.

FordGT90Concept · Nov 19, 2008

I got one question:

Did the fix the steering yet?

In every NFS game in the past, it is impossible to brake and maneuver at the same time. When you brake, steering is ignored and you move only straight. As such, it forces you to brake, then steer into corners. This is the only series I have found to be "broken" in that regard. It is quite annoying considering that's how you are supposed to race. :laugh:

Holiday change up, It will return!

On topic, tha game looks really cool, its been a while since I plaed NFS it was on Xbox IIRC. This one actually peeked my interest a bit!

off topic, gotta love the evil monkey living in the closet... On topic... Just picked up the game today, previews looked awesome, hope it was worth it :rockout:

You have 200+ posts and don't know the rules regarding warez? Yeah, in general it's frowned at. Will get threads locked, and possible bans.

I am really debating getting this game, and probably will I have almost every NFS that has been released. Just finished GRID and am looking for a new driving game.

also only been on for a month... so probably hasn't read the rules... (installing game now)

edit... Well first thoughts on the game... graphics are awesome... my computer hiccups a little at full settings with no AA at 1280x1024... Steering is a little touchy to my liking... tried to dumb it down a little cause it was over responsive... first car you get... VERY touchy on steering, and I suggest going with cars that have better handling than power for now... so yeah... not worth the money right now... wait till it drops $10-$20... wish I would have, lol

jbunch07 · Nov 19, 2008

Some screen shots...it's hard to take ss of the game...I cant stop playing it!

Gilletter · Nov 19, 2008

do you find the controls to be a bit touchy??? I've been playing the last hour or so and I find my logitech dual action rotation axis to be really touchy when trying to steer... great graphics otherwise, and I'm running it full with no AA on my x1650 with very little hiccups, can't wait till xmas for the new gpu!

"Close Call" aka "Near Miss"
"Clean Section"
...

Looks to me like a hybrid of Underground and Most Wanted. I'm glad they left out Carbon. Carbon was a joke and ProStreet completely veered off NFS track.

jbunch07 · Nov 19, 2008

yes its very much like mostwanted...with a hint of underground....so far im loving it!

zithe · Nov 19, 2008

I want them to make the driving similar to Paradise City. Not realistic, but it's fun to cruise around and maintain control of your car.

AriciU · Nov 19, 2008

Renaming the executable to prostreet.exe seems to add around 15-20fps or so. From 25-50 to 35-75. Not to shabby but still... a hotfix or new drivers would definately improve stuff.

jbunch07 · Nov 19, 2008

odd...with a setup like yours I find it hard to believe there was any problem with frame rate in the first place?

FordGT90Concept · Nov 19, 2008

My guess is your ATI/NVIDIA drivers already have a settings definition for Prostreet and by renaming it, you are forcing Undercover to use the same settings.

raptori · Nov 20, 2008

did any notice the shadows is in low resolution ,the LOD system is working very bad even when maxed all options i mean this is suppose to be much better than pro street in graphics but its not also the antialiasing is working only on the car not on the world, cras are too chrome like what else ... o and the mouse i can't see mouse on the screen I'm using the keyboard and game pad only .... any one know if there is .ini file or any way to override the setting for some better graphics.

Is it me or does that look worse than Most Wanted AA is definitely gone kaput (obviously bad implementation in the game :shadedshu) .. and there seems to be a missing sharpness ......

yes i see no improvements over most-wanted may be as you said .. worse

I had the feeling that would help.

Yes. Lots of them

francis511 · Nov 20, 2008

Damn !! Is it a bug or just my system ?

3xploit · Nov 20, 2008

Is there a map of the city? Can't find the my garage

pagalms · Nov 20, 2008

Pause menu -> GPS Map

Havoc · Nov 21, 2008

Hmm, I was gonna buy this for my playstation. Think I might hold off on it for a bit though...

RadeonX2 · Nov 21, 2008

played the game here's what I noticed during playing undercover:

1. the handling SUCK, prostreet style handling really sucked.
2. I hate the shadows, even I turned on AA its still has rough edges
3. motion blur, how can I disable motion blur? no settings on undercover. In all my games having motion blur I turned it off.

With all these Need For Speed Under"somethings", I'm gonna hold onto my cash until a really cool one comes along... Need For Speed Underwater can't be that far off.
