Yeah, I have been trying that, still find it pretty hard though, much harder than U2 was, gonna try with the wheel in a bit though, should hopefully be a bit easier:)

Yea it is harder. I was getting the hang of it though. I dont think im gonna play the demo anymore, ill wait for the actual game to come out :)
 
I really didn't like it. I instantly fell in love with NFS Most Wanted, but I'm really not pleased with the new driving/drifting engine and what not they have in this one. And as others mentioned, it's pretty hard on the GPU. I tried it at 1280x1024 and it was playable, but much nicer at 1024x768. Run without motion blur, too. Personally, I think that makes your car look very out of place, and it really speeds things up.

The blur is there for a reason. If you ever hit those kind of speeds, your vision starts to blur. Ill wait for the release before i make judgements on the game.
 
I've decided

This game Is no-go for me.

I just find that the gameplay simply isn't there, the graphics are alright, although they could of done touching it up a little, puts a strain on the eyes a bit with all the extra lighting.

Hopefully they will improve the game before its released, doubt they will though as they have very little time!
 
I never liked the blur in Most Wanted so I turned it off. I know it is there for a reason but it is not for me. The visual treatment I disliked as well turned that as low as I could.

I look forward to carbon because it looks to be between Most Wanted and Underground 2.
 
I know things blur when going fast, but just how they did it, everything just looked...cheap? I don't know, it just didn't have the same effect as it did in Most Wanted.

Yep, can't find a better word that cheap, only other way to explain it for me is to tell you that its frustatinly hard for consentration, hurts my eyes after a while and makes it insanely hard to clearly see other cars / lamposts and curbs!
 
I haven't tried it in this game yet so i can;t comment. I kept everything as it was when i installed it, which is like 640x480 or whatever it is

EDIT: Im loving the drifting!!!!! The best thing is that if you hit the wall...you dont lose your points! The drift just stops.

And i dont mind the blur tbh, something i can get used to easily.


Oh my word, the 3rd race they give is such a great idea!!

Basic screen capture comparison... Both games were at 1280x1024, everything maxed out. I then shunk down for a more managable size online.

Obviously, I disabled the blur in Carbon. I should of taken another with it going, but I'm just feeling too tired to care right about now :P

I don't see how people can even like this game... It's too easy, and the drifting system sucks. I can tell there's a ton of auto-correction and the cars have way too much traction. Particually the Camero. I can some what understand the AWD cars, but a rear wheel drive car shouldn't pull out of a 100MPH slide as if was nothing...
 
Just finished downloading and installing, i'll play it tomorrow and post some screenshots.

And does this game seem more similar to NFSU, or NFSMW?

:confused:
Whenever I hit the wall in the game my points still drop:confused: , like when your gathering up points and you accidentally slide into it, you point count doesn't exist :confused:
 
I'm downloading now at a schocking 20kb/sec can't wait for this to come out! NFS are pretty much the only games i ever play on. Although i'm not that great at anyof them!
 
Im really into the drifitng now.

At the start, do a little drift and purposely crash. Then looks at the points board in the upper left corner.

EDIT: Didn't want to bump it, but has anyone read this It says that Sgt Cross is back in it as a bounty hunter. I don't know about you but to me, that makes the game twice as good now! and its good to see alot more UK artists featured on the soundtrack too.

I see what you mean now that ive had a go in the Camaro. It comes out of the drift too easily. I coldn't get past a 14k drift with that, where as with the EVO i managed a 137k. Overall, the drifting is better in this game IMO, when pull them off, they looks more realistic compared to the NFSU2 days.
