Sending an E92 into a cliff face is quite fun.

BTW Demo contains 2 races, grip and speed.
Cars: M3 E92 + GT-R Proto.

[Strafer]

Give us a PS3 demo

[Tyrant]

Cool I'm downloading right now. But I have no time whatsoever to play it!

Im a bit disepointed some bugs on the car.. but.. but the car feeling is exellent
maybe they fix it when the whole games come out

[Kimba]

I hope that we will be soon (next week-latest) available to download the PC demo. First thing I'm going to do is wreck the car. Well I hope it'll work on my machine (2.53 GHz, 1GB RAM, Ge Force 7600 GS)

PS3 demo is announced 1 week before the full game release

[Tyrant]

Wow that demo was short! The driving was cool good sound and handling.

I just don;t like the whole visual atmosphere. Those balloons, adverts etc. And that commentator.. I like the Juiced 2 style more.

[Bojan]

The difficulty was greatly decreased from the demo I played in august. The speed challenge back then was *hard* to finish, this one was a piece of cake, no tricky sections, shorter. Cool demo nontheless.

[Lan.Evo.III]

I liked making other cars eat streetlamps. Or cliff face during the speed challenge, then you get the message "xxxxxxxx's Car is totaled".

[Trapez]

What is the car handling like? Could you guys compare it to previous NFS/ other racing games?

[ImJ]

downloading the demo now 11% done so far : (

how's the handling? . . those who've already tried it . . unleash the details XD

[Abrams]

Grr....who needs Xbox, give us PC demo lol.

Screens anyone?

[Tyrant]

There's no Photo Mode in the demo, so us 'mortals' can't show you pics. I guess only people wuth debug 360's can .

The handling is good IMO. It's not as direct as in Carbon or Forza 2, but it feels good.. It should be a little bit more direct though.

Grr....who needs Xbox, give us PC demo lol.

For real... everything seems to be console or X 360 first -.-

Obvious because the earnings are higher on the consoles. There's a lot of piracy on PC.

[IliaRene]

Can't wait for my xbox 360. Till then..i'll have to play ProStreet on PC.


PS. In my country there's a lot of piracy in everything...even mobile phones...

Screens anyone?

Ill do the screens later on today maybe along with a video, even know there are video's out etc.

Demo thoughts: The smoke was cool ive been crashing and doing burnouts more then racing, the graphics are great i would agree with EA about 'photo realistic'. The GTR proto is a nice car handles well also i can get it to drift alittle, strange thing about it is the sound of it reminds me of a tuned up Nissan skyline GTR R34. The BMW is great for crashing but does get me 1st place. The nitrous system is better they give you 3 shots of nitrous and once you are out well.. your out so just try and put your foot down, crashing is fun also give you a great view of your car crashing all slow motion alittle bit seems more real with the smoke and dirt mixing together.

Final thoughts: This demo will kick bumbum! also way better then carbon etc etc.

Demo mini-review:
-Love the presentation, really stylish. Especially the pre-race handcam'ed screen that shows the stage, cars, crowd and the dancing girl(s).
-Smoke/burnouts are really cool, 360 donuts are even cooler.
-The new handling of the cars are obviously more realistic, cars are fun to drive. People might disagree with me but I think it's kind of like PGR, but with alot more weight and rolling around.
-Damage is not disappointing at all, but sometimes it does leave me scratching my head (head on at 170MPH and the hood is still attached ;o). Cars can't be "deformed" like in Burnout Paradise (EA never promised this anyway).
-Limited shots of nitrous plays alot better, even better than NFSU (recharging nitrous is stupid).
-Speed challenge might sound really straight forward, but I screwed up sometimes. Plus, it's fun and really frigging fast.
-The presence of different levels of assists is great, but honestly I think most of us will be playing with King mode (highlest level), because the other two will help brake for you, yuck.
-Graphics are pretty sharp, even the Nevada Desert looks great.
-Heavy use of product placement, but it's not like we didn't already expect that. Energizer ads in a race event just doesn't seem too fitting.

PS Photo mode better not suck. Replay...well, highly doubt it.
