here we go again... HYPE ON111

god it will make me sick

btw the shot No4 i think is not ingame... There is now way they are using ray tracing rendering for ingame graphics. Stuff like that is used in movies, like shrek, cars and stuff like hat. If you look closely u will see perfect reflection of spoiler and side mirror on the bonet. And that is ray tracing rendering. So far in games is used only enviroment mapping...

Once again they lie to us

OMG ... this is going to be a great one ...
Someone posted in the other topic that the first car from the teaser and the one that crashes are different ... Because there are 2 different rides, both great ...
Althought, I don't think that the "damage" thing is going to be too realistic ... What I saw from the movie, the cars get to much damage from a small impact ... What I think is that this is going to be a "-" for this game ...
Anyway, it's for real now ... Need for Speed - Pro Street is going to be installed in November ...

Now seriously if i wouldn't have known that this game is developed in less than 1 year i would have said it would blow everything away but in this case i'm kinda skeptic about the final product... But let's hope for the best! Everything sounds awesome till now(for me at least lol)

battleram · Post by **battleram** » 31 May 2007, 16:09

This time i'm gonna be more careful and try not to get so hyped up about this game. The two previous games were a real disappointment.

Sniff Sniff I smell old textures....

After the fiasco that was Carbon I'm going to hold judgment/opinion until it gets closer to release. And some reviews.

It's probably been in development for over a year already.

That's what they've said about Carbon as well.....

EA should take a break from NFS or develop the game for at least 2 years cuz they use a lot of "spare parts" from the previous titles and the quality of the game is plummeting. It's really annoying.

Damn still LaPierre who is Executive Producer, i smell Carbon.

race_invader · Post by **race_invader** » 31 May 2007, 16:26

Ive also noticed now that some people said EA Sports but its still EA BlackBox

and also ive noticed now that all them things about the teaser how the spoiler changes and stuff its coz its the Black Rx-7 and the Green one at the same time just mixed into one Teaser

BKize_GT · Post by **BKize_GT** » 31 May 2007, 16:45

Ugh. Sounds like Carbon with some make-up on.

Wrong direction EA.
