It's definitely the PSP version. I looked it up on Gamespot earlier this week.

Man the news is slow...

oh my.... drifting is not about points, that's EA hogwash. drifting is about maintaining a controlled drift for as long as you can. in a controlled drift, the front wheels are turned, and the car is facing sideways while moving forward. for a true drift, you have to use the handbrake, otherwise it's just sliding around in your car and losing control of it at times.
Definatly not Mazda 3! Good !
Well if you can controll you car in drift longer you will get more pts what is result of good drift! And yeah its EA's crap but in real life is the sam thing but without pts! Point is to controll your car as long as you can while doing one drift! And you don't need to use a handbrake, I can record you a video of me ddrifting so you can see how CAN be drift without handbrake! And yeah it's losing control if you don't know how to controll it but if you know then it's all play!

You CANNOT....I repeat CANNOT Drift without using the E Brake.....stop trying to feed us your b-s Cro. It's getting old.

BTW I dont think it could be a psp picture ,since the resolution is fairly higher.
This is the sample of mostwanted on psp......in my opinion

Damn you new noob!!!

I sopouse that you never saw a drift in real life did you?
OK I will post a video of me drifting WITHOUT handbrake!!!!!

Bull3t · Post by **Bull3t** » 05 Aug 2006, 10:55

Calling me a noob now are we.....gee your insults just cut SO deep man, and its not called drifting if you just oversteering.

And i've been on this site longer than you......ever heard of Florida_Marlinz.....GT will back me up, he knows it's me, so do a few others.

So watch ya mouth Kid

You two better watch your mouth from now on before i start giving you some warning points.

and yes, in REAL life drifting, you cant drift without using the handbrake, its a technique, but in any arcade styled game like NFSU or NFSU2, you can drift with either just sliding right and left or using the handbrake, its up to you.

that`s a police car back there, i can see the police logo on the door, and the bullbars nfront of the FB ...

jeez why are u making such a fight here about drifting with/without handbrake, it`s obvious that Kid was talkin` about ingame, but dood the other who contradicted u were talking about real life drifting ...

tony24567 · Post by **tony24567** » 05 Aug 2006, 13:56

has any of u drifted with a go kart before

Can you read?...this is a NFS:C topic...not a bloody Go-Kart Drifting thread

I'm not trying to cause problems, but if you have a powerful enough car, both in game and real life, it is possible to drift your car without use of an e-brake. I actually do not really use the e-brake in the game, simply because it tends to slow down my car the way I use it. Maybe I dunno how to use it in game correctly, but anyway, that is what I do. In real life, it is possible to DRIFT your car without e-brake. however, it will not be a long controlled drift. It will be more of a powerslide.

But anyway, in my opinion, use of a e-brake in game is not a topic worth fighting over, as it is proven possible to effectively get through the game either way. whether it be using e-brake to drift race, or not using e-brake, and relying on your cars power to get you through the slide. So why not just bury the hatchets, and let everyone drift the way they want to...

(I'm not used to being the voice of reason, this was my first attempt... hope I did well.) lol

and I haven't been on the forum long, so please nobody saying.. "IvE BeeN HeRe LongEr than jOO!!!" lol j/k

Yes it is because people are brainwashed by EA's crappy physics and believe that what you can do in game, you can do in real life.

C'mon ppl...Need for speed is an ARCADE game ...remember,
Its just made so that its most fun ..and not as realistic.

gearhead450 · Post by **gearhead450** » 05 Aug 2006, 18:44

Now I've completely forgotten what topic we were discussing...

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 05 Aug 2006, 18:52

the arcadeness of drifting in NFS games. and the fact that you can't drift without using the handbrake at least sparingly.

Redhawk8810 · Post by **Redhawk8810** » 05 Aug 2006, 20:42

I thought more about my post... and it seems you guys are talking about actual competitive drifting. I always consider Powerslides as drifts. so I guess this is the final answer from me.

handbrake = drift
no handbrake = powerslide.

thats in real life alone mind you. lol

Leftos · Post by **Leftos** » 05 Aug 2006, 21:41

Well, let's just wait and see how EA has implemented this "simplified" drifting in NFS:C, before jumping into conclusions. This whole "I can drift", "No you can't, you don't effing use an effing handbrake.", "No, you're the noob", "Oh noez, uz da n00b!!1one!!" is getting really tiring, and off-topic.

Just to throw the moggy among the feathered vermin (they don't call me the 'king muck-raker for nothing), I saw a TV programme about real-life drifting once on which they said that in fact most pro drifters use manual cars and just dip the clutch and let it out to lose traction. They don't use the handbrake at all. Mind you, I believe the presenter was Tiff Needel (what a t*sser that guy is, IMHO), so say no more.

[sarcasm] I don't know how true this is, but it was on Sky so it must be true. [/sarcasm]

So if we want Carbon to be realistic, I guess we'll need a clutch button.

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 05 Aug 2006, 23:07

dude a clutch button would be awesome in the game. personally i dont use the handbrake while drifting i just make the rear end start to sway and go from there

Post by **YaelDjiel** » 05 Aug 2006, 23:25

a clutch button........ are you nuts?
clutch needs to be on a pedal and that can only work and a wheel/pedal combo that actually has a clutch pedal
considering those are f-ing expensive, not many people actually have one

darknight788 · Post by **darknight788** » 05 Aug 2006, 23:28

why cant it be just a button you press on the keyboard for those who drive with a keyboard

If I wanted to insult you my post wouldn't look like it did!

Who said that oversteering is a drifting??

Yeah that was I doing while I was 16 but I still go on Go-kart to race with friends, not that often but I do!

because a clutch doesnt work that way

Plus you don't have enough buttons on the console controller.
