pc game need for speed carbon visual quality, your views?

[xman2007]

been playing nfs carbon and imo opinion the graphics quality is quite poor compared to others in the series and the backdrops look plain although i have only played a couple of levels. because of this i havent been playing it as much as id like to and just wanrt to know what other people think about the visuals, and gameply etc feel free to discuss

I dont know, I think it's pretty good with full AA and AF, better than underground 2 imho. The gameplay at first is a bit different from underground, control wise anyways, but after a level or 2 I got pretty used to it.

Personally I like it alot

The screens might be a little off, I have a wdiescreen monitor so it seems the screenies looked a bit weird.


I personally think it looks great

Yea I agree there, tho I have never been one to like that in any of them, I always turn it off.

It looks really nice! THe only NFS games I've played is NFS 2 (NOT Underground 2) and Most Wanted, and I really like MW. How does Carbon compete with MW when it comes to gameplay and just fun?

 

[xman2007]

tbh i havent really give it a good go, i think ill play a bit more and just play around with the visual options as i just left evrything on default, but ive also been playing rainbow six las vegas and omg the visuals in that game are just stunning (1 little gripe the video options are very limited and theres not a lot of options to change)

QFT.

Most wanted was what NFS was truely meant to be.

Carbon is their piss poor excuse for a "tokyo drift" game. Underground was OK. Albeit a response to fast and the furious.

EA just ruins games these days. Carbon is blacklisted. Hah. I win.

I won't even get into the dumbass "buddy" idea, the speed blur that is nothing but japanime shit, and the extreme lack of visual quality.

This isn't an american racing, its a japanese racing game. It does not deserve its NFS title.

I agree i played it and i found it pretty poor...

Do you even have the game?

Its motion blur not speed blur and MW had no option to turn off motion blur.
Underground had the craziest motion blur and had cheap light trails effects. Wtf are you on about? Carbon has extremely detailed car models. Visual quality of Underground sucked. Carbon only has like a minority of events which are drift AND NO YOU DO NOT START IN THE ASIAN TOWN Its only if you choose tuner cars...

You are truly clueless about this game. To make myself clear, your rig does not even support motion blur, let alone play it.
Next time when trying to discriminate games, at least actually have a copy of what you are talking about.

EDIT: "This isn't an american racing, its a japanese racing game. It does not deserve its NFS title."
Oh yes sure it isn't, why is there god damn "ugly" muscle cars. One tuner car doesn't make a game "japanese" you racist jerk.

no offense but ur playin on a crappy card man, theyr running 79++ series cards, i havent played it yet and im gettn it for x-mas so hopefully i have a pleasant experience...ea does have some bad ideas but some work(bf2 and football....k thats all)

 

[KennyT772]

ive played it and thought it was shit. its clearly tokyo drift made into a NFS game. its shit...

hey tk you are an idiot. you can reg tweak mw to disable speed blur, hdr, just about anything. even so tk every rig supports motion blur that will let the game load. it is just a shader effect. same as the light trails in underground and the hdr in most wanted.



the series since underground started has been a play along with fast and the furious. number 1 had drag races and the occasional circuit/sprint style in the movie so underground made 1 mi drags a huge part of the game.

in FF2 it was suddenly the sprints that took over...hmm underground two is alot alike it.

most wanted was about the most innovative of the games as it was more about actual racing criminal style...still not very new but better then driving everywhere all the time and looking for races.

then theres carbon....the boss battles are drifting down mountains trying not to fall off. sound familiar? oh thats right that was the final race of the FF3 movie where they drift down a mountian and he falls off the side...hmm i wonder.. muscle cars make it all different right? if im not mistaken cameros and mustangs on a dirt track is how drifting was born, at least in america. too bad you still have to shove shit looking rims that would bring a pretty penny in the ghetto on those cars. still butchered the cars, the movies, and most of the fun. oh not to mention the fact that a mustang fastback is the final car in ff3...

yeah the underground and carbon have *nothing* to do with fast and the furious...

whoops i forgot to change the system specs thingy. I was only referring to one person though.

 

[KennyT772]

dude it doesnt matter. a 9550 does not cut it even if it was clocked at 1ghz,2ghz. theres just not enough grunt in that card. not to mention you have half of the ram you need. no wonder you are fighting for the motion blur...it covers all of jaggies from 640*480 no aa no af.

I love Need For Speed: Most Wanted. It came with my Xbox 360 when I got it a week ago, and at first I though I wasn't going to play it at all but damn I'm so wrong. It's a fun game and I spend such a long time just free roaming.

 

[Wile E]

My favorite in the series is still Underground 2. It had the best performance customization options IMO. I'm a gear head, and I really appreciated being able to fine tune the combination to my driving style. Most Wanted was OK to me, but it was too dumbed down. I'm liking Carbon better than Most Wanted right now. It definitely has better graphics and I really missed the free roam, impromptu 1 on 1 races that were missing in Most Wanted. Performance customization is still lacking tho. 1 major complaint tho, where the hell is the widescreen support? With rapidly rising popularity of WS displays, due to the recent affordabilty of some of these 19" panels and HDTVs, not offering it in a game is absolutely inexcusable. Heck, Lego Star Wars 2 even has widescreen support. EA needs to wake up. I can't stand the stretched look, so I end up putting my display in 4:3 mode, and end up with those annoying black bars on the sides. PS3 and 360 versions support WS, why not PC?

Way to flame. Too bad its not even remotely close to what I posted.

And how do you know what I have and what I dont? Way to assume.

Perhaps you didn't notice the lame-ass anime-blur produced with this game on default settings?

and I never said underground looked great.. it was decent, but obviously not great. I said MOST WANTED looks beautiful.

LTFR. Its a shitty half assed 2d motion blur that is not only a waste of Vram, but a waste of a programmers time, to simply please the stupid 10 year olds that beg their mommys to buy the game.


There is a difference between a half-assed motion blur, realistic motion blur, and a fake motion blur...

I want the one that makes the game more interesting.

Not a handful of random lines addes to the back of the car to make it look faster.

"yeah dude omg that 24mph drift looked so frickin fast that lap!"

Then again, I'm sure you would love to drive a civic with a huge spoiler, too.

Rice on!

Wherever you get these "racist comments" I don't know. Stop making FUD up, and post on topic. I have no bias against any race. I have a severe bias against idiots that put a spoiler on their civic and think they're hot stuff.

I agree. We actually have an idiot running around my area with a GIANT aluminum wing, on a KIA RIO!!!! The real kicker is that he put aftermarket mesh wheels on it, in 14". HAHAHAHA I can never decide if I want to vomit, hang my head in pity, or just LMAO at this guy.

Rofl. What a n00b. It's the same here, i got some gayboy rolling around in his little White Ford Van with shitty 17's (I think) and the most stupid spoiler you've ever seen. It's absolutely tiny, looks shite, and does fuck all. To be honest he's a bit wierd cos he seems to hang around my school a lot lol. I laugh every time I see it and hope I don't end up like him.
