Need for Speed Carbon: First Screen

this is probably a pc screenshot...a computer can have graphics like xbox and other game systems...and EA probably makes their games on a 256mb or 512mb video card...

It has to be a PC, because no console out there is capable of a resolution so high...

Ah! Yes muscle cars!

Ive never seen a Lancer race a Lambo.

Guess that is the point of this game.. to allow players to do stuff that they would never see in real life.

Yea, I just read that but it's impossible since the absolute maximum resolution possible for the Xbox360 is 1080p and the picture has a much higher resolution. It makes no sense...

Maybe he doesnt want us to know that there is a PC version right now, and want it to be a surprise with the official announcement.

Becuase it isnt rendered in game.. I doubt tthat the game will have that kind of motion blur... Looks like a rendered blur effect...

As usual I'll buy the game because heck... I've bought every other Need For Speed, and if you're all complaining about the whole "ricerboy" image that's going along with the NFS series lately, who cares?
You do remember all the 'challenges' that nfsunlimited has had right, and out of all of them, how many cars were over zealously 'styled'?

If you don't like that bit, stay away from the customization.

I doubt it.. I think it's the Xbox 360.

There is no way physically/hardware possible that the XBox 360 could pump out graphics that high a resolution.....

I doubt even the PS3 would be able to, this pretty much confirms that it's for PC

Andre_online · Post by **Andre_online** » 22 Jun 2006, 09:52

That's what's unique about the Xbox 360. It's able to give out such high resolution. It's for sure taken from Xbox 360, no doubt about it. It's even said by Smoothie.

The Gravedigger · Post by **The Gravedigger** » 22 Jun 2006, 10:35

.... what part didn't you understand?

I highly doubt the XBox 360 (and possibly not even the PS3) can pump out that high a resolution...

Post by **Bojan** » 22 Jun 2006, 11:04

You think they actually make the xbox360 screenshots on an xbox360 console?

DarrenR21373 · Post by **DarrenR21373** » 22 Jun 2006, 11:35

I may be wrong (it has happened once or twice in the past!), but I believe that they even write the programs for the console versions on PCs. It would therefore make sense that they take the screenshots from console versions using a PC.

I think EA is good at hyping up games.. Remember how AWESOME they made NFS UG2 look?

Gimme a break...

But yea, I will proobly play and enjoy it for the first day, but as many of you know, the games gets boring... Fast.

Andre_online · Post by **Andre_online** » 22 Jun 2006, 18:57

I usually get bored after finishing the career mode. Once finished, that's it. For UG1, I'd play online.. But since then, I just don't see the point in doing that since almost everyone cheats online.

SP4RCO · Post by **SP4RCO** » 22 Jun 2006, 20:33

What the...

it looks more like UG2 than like MW

it's probably because of the dark environment.

Andre_online · Post by **Andre_online** » 22 Jun 2006, 21:08

You bet.. Just look at this! Don't the roads and buildings remind you of UG2?

korge · Post by **korge** » 22 Jun 2006, 21:14

... I am disliking the smoke and particles already.. Cant the spend more time on updating that aswell?

But the car is nice!

UG2 with better cars (hopefully), better graphics, and new style of racing....
