Guess who got to playtest this game 2day  Im also going to be playtesting it again 2morrow. Then hopefully many more times in the coming weeks. OMFG was it ever awesome ;D ;D lol It was a pretty earlyish build i was playing today, lots of things not completed yet. When going through the Car Lot there was one car that only about 1/10th of it had been completouned, other cars with parts not tecturized, even a couple cars with the back wheel about an entire wheels length before the hole for the wheel, lol those looked funny. There was one car that i saw and was like HOLY f*ck! Usually the cars were there rotating ard for u 2 look at, but this one only had the name rotating around. I asked one of the developers if it was like unlockable or if it will be in the game and you just dont want us seeing it now or what, (think he might have been the lead developer, duno, he sure seemed like it) and he just smiled and said "I have no comment" I laughed and said You have me really interested now!!! He just smiled and walked away. I dont think im allowed to say what the car was as it hasnt been announced or mentioned, i recall skimming over something in the waiver about not releasing info...So guess you guys will just have to wait to find out about the car The game though was amazing. It was like no other NFS game. Its been totally revamped. They are going more towards a sim on this one. Theres no more open city to drive around, no more cops, just straight up racing on race tracks.(Dont believe they are real tracks) The game, thankfully, is a lot bigger then Carbon was. The graphics are amazing, theyve finally added in damage!!! The damage modeling is amazing. One thing theyve added that i heavily complained about that they added, i made very sure they knew i didnt approve of it being in there, is that stupid f-in green line from Forza. Its an exact copy of the Half Line or w/e its called in Forza 2. Whatever the setting is in Forza 2 so the line is only there during the turns basically. The version i played, as i said is a pretty earlyish build, there was only one camera angle available. It was so funny watching the 'cut-scenes' cause they were pretty messed up from not being done yet. Some of the time there was no audio, things would appear and disappear, there was some floating heads here n there that had no bodies, lol. Objects crashing through other objects(person went through a metal object) Anyway, the game was amazing, i cant wait to play it again 2morrow and hopefully other days. Its a definite must buy when it comes out. I think you guys will be very VERY pleasantly surprised when they finally announce the car i was talking about ;D |

The car is made between 1975 and now. Why does this change whether ur going to buy the game or not, the one car? What car r u thinking of? What car could be so amazing?
I playtested it again 2day as i said i would. It was so much better today, they took some of the comments from yesterday and added them in, mainly chaning the physics. The physics felt soo much better today. Im pretty sure they are going to be chaning the physics some more as basically everybody was commenting on the physics. Im doing a full day playtest for the game on Sunday, from 10am till 5pm, and i might be doing another on Friday, not sure yet if i can get in for that one. I will hopefully be testing the game many more times as it nears launch.

Because carboon was crap and the one befor most wanted was crap,I liked most wanted abit but i'm geting tired of this need for speed now.I want need for speed to go back to the old way.Were there was tons of citys and stuff and hideing places and you'd race against like 8 cars and have the cops after you n doing all that stuff but with all shorts of cars.I grew up on a need for speed with cars from the 60s-00 at the time and i loved those games.Like from 2002 i loved hot pursuit for the xbox then they got into this tunner crap.I would'nt mind tunners but i want the muscle cars back and the game to go back to its ruts becauses thats what made the series and made it fun.

well as i said this NFS has been totally revamped. Its completely different. Theres no open city to drive in, they are going more simulation this time round. Theres amazing car damage, you can total your car(i only totaled it once, when i went head on into a tree...lol) Its like no other NFS. We were actually talking about Hot Pursuit on the 1st day i went, everybody(including myself) was saying how it was the best NFS made. One of the developers we were talking to about it said, You guys remember when racing as the cop you could call the other cops to come and deploy spike strips and stuff? We said Yea that was awesome. He said yea that was me  Also, my all day session this Sunday got post-poned till next Sunday. I just signed up for 7 more sessions 2day, will have to wait and c how many i get into. |

according to IGN October 30th.
I did another playtest of the game today, all day. Was great. I have another session on Tuesday, just a regular 3 hour session. They had improved the AI a bit, although they were still very easy to beat. I complained some more about the AI, they are very aware of my being able to destroy the AI lol.Theres only 1 type ive yet to race, and i will do it on tuesday. I wont make it there from playing through the game i dont think, so near the end of the session im just going to go into the Debug menu and turn on unlock all and go check it out.

playtested it again on Tuesday. We werent testing the career mode though, we were testing the Race Day mode instead. I tried out the other type of racing i hadnt tried yet, but it doesnt work yet...I have an all day test on Saturday, and another all day test on Sunday, so hopefully it will be working on one of those two days. The game is shaping up pretty well though. I wont back down on the AI untill they do what i say, lol. Theres still lots of time before the game comes out though.

playtested again today  Unfortunately the 360 version wasnt working today, so we had to play the PS2 and Wii version. The PS2 version was total crap, the Wii version was good though. I really liked the control scheme for the Wii, it works really well. My session that was supposed to be 2morrow(Sunday 16th) also got canceled due to the 360 version not working right now...So that blows...So not much to say today, other then the PS2 version was absolutely terrible and the Wii version was great. |

lol, nice conversation u guys have going on there...
The PS2 and Wii version of the game, instead of having a real time moving background, they just took screenshots of the 360 version and put them as the background. The graphics on the PS2, as youd expect, are absolutely terrible. You couldnt c anywhere near as far in front of you as you can on the 360 version, which sucked. They made the effects more arcadey for the Wii and PS2 version. When driving, once u hit about 50mph or so, you would get a bunch of white lines going past your car to make it seem like you were going faster, (think they had those in previous versions, cant remember) and when you hit the nos button on the PS2 version, it was basically impossible to c anything because it became so incredibly blurred. So the game seems a lot more arcadey on the Wii and PS2 because they made the effects very arcadey. The effects are on the 360 version are barely noticeable. Ppl have been asking for stronger effects on the 360 version though because they are so minimal. We'll c how much more, if at all, they add to the effects on the 360.

The Wii version i liked alot. The controls were fantastic, confusing at first if the load screens dont show the control, which happened to me..Theres a load screen showing you the controls, but of course theres also other load screens and one gets randomly picked each time, if your not lucky enough to get the controls the first time your playing a mode, your going to be confused. Especially when you do a drag race for the first time. The graphics were good on the Wii though, going from the PS2 version to the Wii version graphics wise was huge. The effects on the Wii version are more arcadey then the 360 version, but not to the extent on the PS2 version. The lines from driving fast i think were there on the Wii version(dont really remember, i rarely used the 3rd person cam) and there was more of a blurr effect from NOS compared to the 360 version, but it wasnt as extreme as the PS2 version. The PS2 version i found to be overdone, but the Wii version was pretty good.
Overall i found the Wii version to be on par with, if not better then, the 360 version in fun factor, and the PS2 version to be just crap. I just really enjoyed the controls on the Wii, the drifting mode was much easier with the Wii controls because you could control your car a lot easier because you had a wider range of motion. Its not so easy that its bad though, i found it quite fun because i wasnt getting annoyed at my newbness from going off the track while drifting lol(i wasnt bad on most of the drifts on the 360 version)
Of course the thing the Wii version is going to lack is XBOX Live and Achievements. But if your not interested in either of those, i might even go as far as saying get the Wii version if you have a Wii. Some of the other people at the playtest didnt like the Wii version, so it is a matter of opinion.

i spent all day yesterday and all day saturday testing the game again I just about beat the game! I would say, if you do the minimum requirements, you could probably beat the game in around 18 hours or so. If you go for 100% completion, atm u cant, lol(one race is currently unbeatable) but besides from that, it would probaby take 23 or so hours. Those are just my rough estimates though. The game is looking much better now that its nearly completed. There is one tunnel in the game that doesnt have any textures on it yet, so its just green and yellow squares with giant question marks everywhere. Man that was fun to drive though! It was hard to c where to go though, lol. |
