mine stayed right around 800 yes thats 2 zeros, the download was done in like 15 minutes give or take. the demo is pretty good i'd say no problems whatsoever ran pretty smooth i loved the canyon duel race i pwned his ass by passing him on stage 1 and flying through the finish line at 172 mph and finished with 16,321 pts. i dont know if that is good or not

i was just surfin the web and found a bunch of new vids that talk about certain parts of the city that they made

3 of them r old but the rest introduce other areas of the city that havnt been covered like the canyons

HIACE · Post by **HIACE** » 28 Oct 2006, 09:21

Well it doesn't sound bad, which is good, They didn't really go much into the customization, only a short summary and they could have talked more about the variety of cars and how pursuits differ to that of MW. Still looking forward to this game.

It doesn't sound bad? Just the comments on the pics can tell more than the whole review says.

iFT · Post by **iFT** » 28 Oct 2006, 13:12

I was referring to the way they spoke about it in their review. Ofcourse I'm hyped for Carbon, though IGN just killed a little bit of that hype by shooting down some of the new features.

I donÂ´t have that big expectations, so I wonÂ´t be disappointed. I hope itÂ´s better than MW, thatÂ´s all... IÂ´m waiting forward to getting another racing game, because there arenÂ´t many good ones on Xbox360... I have PGR3, MW and TDU, but IÂ´ve played them all so much that I need something new...

so when is the demo out?

)
joking...

the demo was under my expectations...

i finished it in about 10-15 min...but i like how the muscle handles...

Leftos · Post by **Leftos** » 28 Oct 2006, 14:23

Yes, the muscle is definately fun to handle, but the going-past-sharp-corners-doing-70 is still there.

The game rocks for me atleast. Can't wait for the full version... $\:D/$

im kinda woried.. i havnt seen any colour fading. it could just be me but every screeny i have seen shows vinyls made of blocks of colour. admitedly most of em look sweet. but does anyone know if i could recreate the stripes on this car in NFS Carbon

There is something weird about the gfx in NFSC PC demo, if you look at these screenshots from the PS2 demo and look at the X360 demo, you will find these 2 versions have actually the right colours which is Black/Gold combo, screenshots:

BUT, in the PC demo, its kinda like brownish gold or something, it totally lacks colour, screenshots:

and its not just me, i've seen this in many screenshots by many different people, same with the 2 other cars too, and basically for the whole look of the game...i dont know, maybe its a visual treatment option that was disabled, or wasnt even put in the PC version.

hope i can see things as they should be in the final version.

I think it's how the game looks on a tv, which is much brighter. The same thing came up with Underground1 and 2 as well. Just look at GT3x24x7's UG1 cars.

Looks like a blue overlay.

Another thing I noticed in the demo.. Music style changes with each class. I have to say that the MW Demo was much much better, loved it when you were put into a chase with a Viper.

But that Supra looks dreadful, I'm sure though if we are able to add our own vinyls in like for previous games you will be able to do that.

hmm.. how do I get that lizard vinyl.. or is it a unique vinyl?

Damn, I just got done playing the demo, I love the drifting, its hard to get used to, and its realy fast, but its cool, i'll write a review later on, once I race in the canyon drifts.... BUT The damn thing closed on me after I beat the damn circut race... GRRR

MaryJane · Post by **MaryJane** » 28 Oct 2006, 20:07

Today I heard that the european release has been moved from 2.11 to 9.11... Can someone tell if this is true? I assume itÂ´s just a rumor, but IÂ´d like to be sure, because I really want this game...

BAS231187 · Post by **BAS231187** » 28 Oct 2006, 20:46

i made the vinyl myself, the lizard is a modifyed version of a tattoo iv got. unfortunatly ill be getting carbon for the PS2 as my computer really strugled witoh MW. that picture was taken at 5 frames a second or sumit stupid. even if tho i cant remake the lizard on the PS2 id like to be able to make fading colours without spending ages with slightly diffrent colourd stripes
