To come soon on TPU dls !

I dl'd it! It r0x!! Graphics are awesome. Runs on maximum no problem. Shame about the limited customisation on the demo, but all round an excellent game to look forward to.

bruins004 · Oct 27, 2006

Havent tried it yet.
Might just need to dl it tonight.

Just as an FYI.......
Demos arent hard to run on max settings.
This is bc the demo is obviously a scaled down version.
Therefore, graphics are as detailed, the demo is smaller to load and all together less stressful on a system.

For example a lot of people were saying that their X800 and X850 cards could easily run the FEAR demo on max settings, but couldnt do so in the retail game.
The above was the reason this was occuring.

I've only enjoyed two NFS-games: NFS2 (oh, man, what a blast that was

) and Most Wanted. We'll see how Carbon is.. I hope it's more like Most Wanted than those horrible Underground games. OK, they're not horrible; I just REALLY hate all the "j0 I've got a lightbulb under my car and that makes me pr0n"-gizmos in it. I will get the demo soon, when I have time.

well its on his way

^^

For an old classic, try NFS Porsche Unleashed. For online racing, try NFS Hot Pursuit 2. Both available in $5 bargain bins. Recommended.

lemonadesoda · Oct 28, 2006

Downloaded Carbon... and although the cars lok great in the title screens, to be honest, I'm pretty disappointed with the gameplay and in-game graphics. Nothing to keep your interest here. Move on.

Casheti · Oct 28, 2006

I think it owns. Looks great. I love the lighting, and autosculpting feature. Can't wait to "buy" the game *wink* lol

tkpenalty · Oct 29, 2006

It uses the same engine as NFSMW as well as the same physics...

wazzledoozle · Oct 29, 2006

Any idea on how to get this to run in widescreen?

Casheti · Oct 29, 2006

This is what I do for the 2142 demo. Right click on your carbon shortcut and enter +szx 1280 +szy 1024 at the end, replacing 1280 and 1024 with the resolutions you want. Hope it works

update physics and the engine has been updated. the MW engine was new and didnt allow for night detail, so this has been rewritten along with other bugs in the MS engine.

Casheti · Oct 29, 2006

Yeah, I think that sounds about right. It does feel a lot different to drive 'n' stuff.

Yeh... for example, the sky scrapers in MW are gold... also the motion blur has been reduced marginally (i hate it... it cant see shit). Its a bit different i realised but like it feels nearly the same. The cars dont understeer like crazy (remember the M3? you start it up and then your car just four-wheel burnouts) Its a good game; no cops. Like the tuning options ARENT limited. I think you can get Full tune-ups like Need for speed underground2.

I just hope that carbon WILL have a lot of cars to choose from as well as huge tuning options.

I reckon NFS:C should enable cars to download from EA.

Casheti · Oct 29, 2006

OMG! No cops??? I WANTED COPS!

wazzledoozle · Oct 29, 2006

I cant turn on the motion blur, the option is just grayed out :wtf:

Casheti · Oct 29, 2006

Same here buddy... :confused:

maybe it's just for SM3.0??

wazzledoozle · Oct 29, 2006

Yeah thats what I thought, but tkpenalty was just describing it compared to NFS:MW, yet he has a 9550 :confused:

technicks · Oct 29, 2006

I think it sucks. They should really change the gameplay.

Casheti · Oct 29, 2006

Maybe X850XT's are SOOOOOOOOOO good, that the game can't handle their extreme awesomeness?

that's because you only have a pixel shader 2.0b video card. pixel shader 3.0 is required for certain effects reason for options being greyed out not supported..game runs great on x1800xtpe but the graphics and gameplay sucks.

Casheti · Oct 29, 2006

If you has listened, someone just said their 9550 has the motion blur effects. Read, then post.

LOL.. they are full of bullshit sorry. btw the motion blur makes the graphics look even worse.
