I also want some true supercars, like the Porsches, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Astons and Maclarens :)
And what are all these stupid inflatable balloons in the screen shots? Cor Blimey! What a lot of hot air.
IMO the NFS franchise has sold out to this stupid streetcar NOX bling fender paintjob rubbish.
Where the money is? Carbon was a flop for EA. This new NFS still tries to be a Fast and Furious. But I think you'll agree, 5 years on from FnF we've all moved on.
All I can say is THANK GOODNESS there isnt a character called "Diesel" in the game. eek
Anyways, Xbox360 owners please tell how it is, as I'm relly looking forward getting this on PC. Looks like they finally done it right, as we have damage, a lot of different events, great graphics and handlings seems good from the videos too. Haven't seen many videos from multiplayer, but that one on gametrailers showed that it hase some nice features also.
Edit: seems like it should be out for PC same time as consoles, nice. Hate those console exclusives or PC gets it half a year later.
Edit2: anyone know if this has crossplatform MP? (propably not, as I haven't seen it mentioned)
lol thats funny. I agree NFSC was a big waste of money for me. But apparently its not all bad news for the nfs franchise, Pro Streets is supposed to ship with a decent physics and damage engine!
Yes there are some supercars too: www.gametrailers.com/player/26723.html
Balloons are quite a lot, can't deny that, but they come with those different organizers

IMO this is coming out of the The Fast and the Furious = NFS Underground, 2 Fast 2 Furious = NFS Underground 2, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift = NFS Carbon; era. Maybe it's because it isn't based on a movie and that is why Most Wanted was also good likewise Hot Pursuit 2 and Porche, because they were before/in between the movies.
If you want just supercars without tuning, there is Test Drive Unlimited for that. I like that you can race different cars against each other, if they are tuned to similar power to weight ratios, with supercars it's pretty much buy the best and win 'em all.
This might turn out to be another Crapon, if the handling is as awful. Doubt it is and they learned from that, but we'll see :)
This game looks good, and so did the last games in the series, but gameplay was plain bad and unrealistic. this is an arcade-ish game i know, but common.. there has got to be at least 1 person with an actual driving license over there :mad: and it seems like there isn't.
btw, Mazda RX-7 does-a-wheelie in a drag race? :(
IMO if Test-Drive Unlimited had a bit better handling, it could be the best PC racer ever (we want Gran Turismo on pc!!!).
Skylines.
There are so many wankers driving those around over here that it isnt funny anymore :laugh:
Most of them cant drive anyway...
Just about every second young male has a 'rice cooker' round here.
Whether it be them tossing on exhausts that just waste more of the cars energy by making it louder, or a roof scoop on a hatchback with less torque than my cpu fan.
As for imports I dont have much knowledge of what cars are imported, but top hits seem to include: 200sx, skylines, heaps of subaru wrx's, and a variety of others.
Then you have the homegrown V8 Holden Commodore's and Ford Falcons for the older crowd.
