ProStreet Preview: Racing (Part 3)

Post by Bojan »

The third Need for Speed ProStreet preview is up and this time I talk about racing and deeply explain all the race modes in the game.
Drift it the mode which will take the most practice to master and is also the game mode that changed the most compared to previous games. This year drift is all point to point and like drag you will have 3 attempts with the best score being counted. Physics in the drift are pretty much like in the rest of the game except with all assists off and a little less traction on the tyres. Also there are no bonus areas and only the length and the speed of the drift will count.
Read the whole article here.

wow, nice article, very detailed. It gives you a good idea of what ProStreet looks like!! =D>
The other tricky thing will be the fact that the cars aren't attached to a lane but drive the same as in other game modes.
Finally, I have been waiting for that, but, as you say, it will make it more difficult.

nah, cars that aren't on "rails" aren't that hard to navigate around. this probably means that they'll do anything they can to slow you down. so you can just tail gate them, PIT them, maybe even sideswipe them. since they're not on rails, they should be just as easy to push as you are. the problem could be pushing them first though :P

Well, just try to keep your 60's american muscle car, tuned to 1000hp, in a straight line without spinning like a maniac because of the sheer overload of power.....let alone controlling your car in a wheelie.... :roll:

I wonder how will drag racing feel on a force feedback racing wheel =)
I like the feeling of wrestling a steering wheel.

In a 1/4 mile drag race, especially if your car is fast, you'll have no time to deal with the opponent ;)

That pic is crap...its just a chop. We know the R34 skyline and the Skyline GTR will be in the game, don't know about the other ones. Wait isn't the one sthibo posted just an Infiniti?

There ain't no R36, the newest is GTR R35 a.k.a GTR Proto

@sthibo : Do you even notice that your R36 picture is just a concept drawn by just someone else? It's drawn and painted.

Wtf... please, we don't need another skyline topic.

About the grip mode: I noticed in a number of prostreet videos that there are guidelines on the road so that inexperienced drivers are able to learn how to use a proper racing line. Is there an option to switch this off, or are they just completely removed at a higher level of the game?

New the GTR has replaced the PROTO in the game, I think.....If they havn't it'll seem pretty pointless to have both of them.

This sucks. EA was so proud to say there will be one set of physics for all modes (no drift physics), but then they make control sensitivity or steering different... lame
Like every nfs it gets better and better with more info you get until about a month before release, then it gets worse and worse.
