the police inc arbon, what about that, it have a police mode offline?

There's police in career mode, and all of the challenges can be done while playing solo. I'm not so sure about Pursuit Knockout and the other Online police race modes.

Yeah I know that, I'm a mechanic by trade, but there are several pre 90's cars there, that spiking wouldn't affect. I doubt that EA would have designed it like that, as its not exactly a racing sim.

Don't forget, the electricity was only in a video. Doesn't mean the police will use it in-game.

xturbo · Post by **xturbo** » 09 Oct 2006, 04:39

That electricity isn't the same concept idea from 2fast 2furious??? when brian is racing in the highway chased by tons of cops???

It's already been discussed, xturbo. Yes, it appears to be the same concept.

Maybe you know what price will be of nfs carbon PC version?
Example in our country nfs mw costs 50Lt (14,5 euro) so what can expect from nfs carbon PC?50 euro?

Does anyone feel that the video about how the story of Carbon starts spoils the whole game? It kinda like takes out all the 'shock value' it was supposed to have. I wouldn't be able feel its impact when I buy the game. You know, 'changing the gameplay experience'?

lol yeh, when i noticed that it was pretty muching showing what happens in the game, i stopped watching it. i saw about the first 25 secs then stopped.

Morniemacar · Post by **Morniemacar** » 09 Oct 2006, 15:54

Meh, I wasn't even excited about the game in the first place. The game is about racing (and ricing for the new generation of NFS "fans"), so honestly, I could care less about the story. I'd rather want for EA to work on improving the actual racing experiency, than wasting time on stupid, cheesy storyline. The original NFS games had no stories, or in fact, they didn't have a Career mode (High Stakes was the first one) and they were great games. Why? Because back then EA concentrated on the cars, tracks and racing.

yeah , i missed the old NFS with tracks around the world too , NFS changed when EA bought black box studio
