NFS Carbon for the world it's a lot better

Haven't played TDU...

Is TDU multiplayer only or it has singleplayer too? Because if it doesn't have SP, then NFS is definitely better

TDU is also for single player.

But alot of things are better in TDU.
first, the carlist is ALOT more inpressive then that of Carbon, atleast in TDU you can use ALL cars! and there are alot more of them and alot more brands.

Only things that is less about TDU is the game interface, it is pretty hard to find your way and the racing is pretty hard.

Sounds are pretty good actually.

Carbon does have some good things but I am pretty disapointed about the game so far, EA could have made the game alot better without much trouble but IMO the got either in time trouble or where just plain lazy.
The sounds in Carbon are great, just like in MW, but the DB9 sounds horrible in Carbon, and the weird thing is, it sounded heavenly in MW.... really weird.

I haven't tried any of the games yet, but given what I've heard about them, TDU sounds like a favorite... Mainly because it's massive multiplayer (or Massively Open Online Racing, as Wikipedia calls it), and NFS seems a bit stuck at the underground racing, with weird physics. And after NFS Porsche, I still wait for the next great NFS...

Still gonna get NFSC tho

I haven't tried TDU but I have hopes that it'll be a good one. Not that NFS Carbon is bad or something. It's cool. But somehow it leaves me wanting more than what it offers.

TDU is a realistic game for me. I like it, exotic car without odd vinyls (simple!!).
Nice interior! & very wide map (Hawai!!). But if play offline, I will get bored...

But I prefer Carbon!! I never bored with this game!!

This is like comparing chalk and cheese IMHO.

Carbon is just wank... sorry to the Carbon fan boys, but I've never been so diappointed with a game I spent 30-odd quid on. The DVD makes quite a good beer mat though. Relative car performances are completely unrealistic, the city is just soooooo boring and the car list is sorely lacking. It's also all set at night which gets tired very quickly. Oh, and it crashes every 3 minutes to desktop for no reason.

TDU however could be a great game - and when it's patched, I'm sure it will be - but, for me at least, it is almost unplayable online due to the fact that as soon as another player appears on my screen, the game freezes for a few seconds and when it catches up again, I have crashed off the road into a tree!

However, TDU's realism, day light racing where you can properly admire these supercars, the car selection and real-life location win it for me easily. Oh, and it's never kicked me to desktop without warning, either.

TDU all the way...
Carbon REALLY sucks, GFX is HORRIBLE in carbon, just look those HDR effects in TDU, the HUGE world!!, why choose carbon?...maybe the customization is deeper but what cares if the other stuff is like sh*it?? doesn't connect all the circle....

to me TDU sounds better i plan on getting the game. is there a cruise mode in TDU ? cruising around Hawaii in a exotic sounds fun. would you say the gfx are comparable to farcry on high settings ?

Yep mate, you have a "freeroam" mode in TDU. GFX are cool enough, like MW but with more "detailed" textures imo. It has REAL HDR so you can see the cool light effects (just like Far Cry -btw awesome game...awesome

- ) , but you need a good pc to run it. But if you have a Xbox360, go and get it...no need to have a powerful pc

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 22 Apr 2007, 23:53

It actually looks better on a high end PC than a XBOX 360, X360 version seems to lack AA.

and on topic, yeah..TDU for sure, i havent touched carbon since about 4 months.

Tuners Rock · Post by **Tuners Rock** » 23 Apr 2007, 00:49

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 23 Apr 2007, 01:03

Nissan Sentra or Nissan Skyline GTR..

Dang, I'd go with the Sentra. Never driven a Skyline before.

Black Fire · Post by **Black Fire** » 23 Apr 2007, 03:08

Yeah I'd say Need for Speed Carbon

Right... Forgot about this.

6 months later, and I've tried both, and there really isn't any competition. TDU is by far the best game, and despite all the bugs, it's better than most of the NFS games. Ok, so it wasn't massive multiplayer (unless they've fixed that in the last 3 weeks, I'm not quite up to date yet), but it's still a lot of fun. I had to start playing with an offline account, because of some profile issues, and even as a single player game, TDU rocks. Online takes it even higher. I still consider NFS Porsche as my all time favorite game, but if Atari/Eden fixes the bugs everyone has been moaning about, this could actually become my new favorite.

TDU easily beats NFSC, and I hope EA learns a lot from TDU.

i just got TDU for and i love but hate the phyics. they seem so real that it is hard to control your car when your going 160 + mph but that also means races are actually challenging which is also a good thing and the world is absolutely huge.Carbon vs. TDU ? there is no competition

I love the physics, they remind me of NFS Porsche. It shouldn't be easy to drive cars in 300 kph, and even tho it's still a little too easy in TDU as well, I understand that it can be THAT realistic, it would take years to complete the game... I'm looking forward to the Hardcore mode, but since I spend my time cruising most of the time, reaching Champion level takes time.

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 28 Apr 2007, 14:46

I reached Champion level when i had the Beta, cant believe you still havent reached it yet.

Hardcore mode is awesome, it feels like...Semi - Gran Turismo style, its just not that fun without a G25.

Post by **Morty** » 28 Apr 2007, 14:51

Well, I don't really race, just cruise, and since I've driven over 5000 miles, I'm not getting any points for that anymore...

I'm a little worried about the hardcore mode, since I don't have a wheel, I'm still on keyboard, and I think that might get a little too hard... Altho, if I manage to control a car in hardcore mode with a keyboard, I might have some skills

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 28 Apr 2007, 17:09

when im cruising i have the realism set to hypersport just because i like doing big smoky burnouts in my F430

but if i wipe out it is kind of hard to get going again since i use a keyboard which means every time i give it gas i floor it

Post by **Morty** » 28 Apr 2007, 17:55

I use Sport, but that's just because I keep forgetting to change it... But yeah, the flooring thing is why I'm worried about the hardcore mode... Gonna take hours to get control when I try to accelerate...
