NFS: Pro Street
Hey guys!
Ok. Firsties, sorry for making the group seem more like a NFS group than a general cars related group. But... for now... ANYTHING TO KEEP THE GROUP ALIVE AND ROCKING!!!!! YEAHHHHHHHH!!!! FOR SPARTAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
*Clears throat and drinks some water*
Ok.. so, seemingly, it seems...(lolz..) that the next NFS game, Pro Street as how it may be called is to be made. Although there's hardly any info about it right now.
But... supposing that the game was released or made. Are you looking forward to it? Will you be willing to upgrade your comp's hardware to play the game lag free? As from wiki, it appears that they're gonna make a completely new engine for the game from ground up.. (why can't they just make it look like MW? MW was so cool in terms of graphics...
)
So... what do you think??
Also, do you think that it'd be a good idea if NFS people took major inspiration from animes like Initial D... ok... only Initial D... >_>
I mean, the story part and also the way the characters in the anime are so connected with everything.
Because i personally feel that NFS stories since U2 are really useless sort.
Your opinions?
Initial D regards,
The Firestorm

Don't know if I would look forward to it. For me the cars in the game and the "world" we'll be racing in are more important than the story. For instance I was really charmed by the tree shaped progress system of NFS Hot Pursuit 2, very clear and no story at all.
I've played and keep on playing all my NFS games on the PS2 (untill one day I buy the PS3), so I don't have to upgrade my computer hardware.
Haven't seen any Initial D episode, so I can't really tell if it's a good idea that EA will get inspiration from Initial D.

"Some people bring happiness when they come...and some people bring happiness when they leave"
I'm not really looking forward to the game, but I am very curious how the game is going to look like. I mean gameplay-wise; what cars are in it, what kind of races you'll race and how the cars 'feel'. Graphics come second place for me, so I won't upgrade my hardware for it.
A game engine mainly defines how the cars drive, how the environment reacts, etc. It does effect graphics, as a better engine allows better graphics, but it's mostly about gameplay. That's why I'm very happy they don't take the engine of NfS Most Wanted, because I thought the car and environment behavior really sucked (like cars couldn't drift).
With Underground, the NfS series became influenced by import-tuning, also seen in The Fast and The Furious (movie). This import-tuning thing is of course based on the Japanese car-culture, which at his turn has been greatly influenced by the Initial D manga and anime series. So it's not surprising there are some direct influences from Initial D on the NfS series as well.
NfS Underground 2 even included the AE86 (as Toyota Corolla GT-S) and the whole 'canyon racing' in Carbon is very similar to Initial D as well.
I think it's good for the NfS series to have some inspiration from Initial D, especially now anime becomes more and more popular in the western world as well. Though, I think EA makes sure NfS will keep it's own image, which is good too.
So I'm looking forward to see more info on the next NfS game.

BIG NEWS!
EA published a trailer for the next NfS, of which more will be told or even released at May 31!!
Check the website for the trailer: www.needforspeed.com
The trailer shows:
- Car damage, for the first time in NfS history.
- Circuit racing, also a different from the previous parts.
- A nice car
Possible conclusions:
- This new NfS is going Burnout-style, which would suck imo
- This new NfS is going Gran Turisimo-style, which doesn't suit the series because NfS has too unrealistic car behavior.
- This new NfS is going to combine Burnout and GT, blend it with EA's own NfS formula and makes it a freaking awesome game.

OMFG!! THAT VID IS Soo AWESOMELY FULL OF AWESOME AWESOMNESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
When i first looked at it, i thought that those scenes were from real time!! Until i saw the smoke effects at the burnout scene!! THAT WAS SooOOO CoooooOLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!
That Rx-7 looks wicked!
But btw GA, why do you say that the car damage thing will be the first time in NFS history??
You can see quite real life like car damage effects in NFS IV: Hight Stakes. Both, technically and visually. In other words, gameplay wise and graphic wise.
So, this could be the second time. Graphic wise can be confirmed. But i don't know about gameplay wise...
And lol... i am loving your 3rd conclusion, GA!! :D
THANKS SoOOO MUCH FOR SHARING THAT!!!!!
But... seeing that, i am beginning to get worried about the system requirements now.
*Starts praying to the NFS God*
Oh wait... that'd be me!! How silly of me to pray to myself!! XD

- You're right about NfS IV featuring damage, my mistake, I meant 'recent history of NfS'.
- No problem.
- Interests me too. Trailers are of course always better looking than in game, but those few shots in the trailer sure as hell look good. Maybe this new NfS will use DX10 optionally... Which means to fully play this game you'll need a very good rig indeed. Plus Vista
Wow...look at those HD graphics, much better than Carbon (on the other hand very logic, this one will be made on the PS3 platform and all previous ones were on PS2). I didn't expect a trailer so soon.
But man, that RX7 made a pretty nice crash...finally some serious damage!
I don't think EA will make it very similar to Burnout or Gran Turismo, because:
A. Burnout is a brand of EA, if EA will make NFS and Burnout too similar it's almost unaffoidable that one of the two games will sell less (most likely Burnout) than planned ("Why buy both if they're pretty much the same?" Just buy the one with the best gameplay).
B. Gran Turismo is pure driving simulation and NFS is pure arcade, there's always the chance that fans/loyal customers will 'walk away' if the game doesn't fullfill their needs (in NFS's case, the need for pure arcade fun).

7 days and 7 hrs left!!
In DDHHMMSS:
07:07:01:01 and counting......
This is Sooo EXCITING!! *jumping around*
Also, i think that the name of the game is most probably gonna be Pro Street. Since almost all of the ballons in that vid are having the letters "PS". It's just a speculation, though.

That count down timer is weird....
The day before yesterday, it showed 6 days left. And then, after a few hrs, it showed 7 days. And then it showed 5 days. And then it again showed 7 days and stayed that way. Today, in the morning, it showed 6 days. And now, after a few hrs, it's showing 5 days.... -_-"
But anyhow...
Check out today's (26th) screenshot. It's really cool!
*Shouting, jumping, running and dancing around*
I am not freaking out.... >_>

The countdown timer is stupid. It counts down to the 1st of June if you ask me.
But I still don't know what's going to happen that day, lol. Maybe they're going to launch the site that day, or put a demo online, but I can't imagine EA releasing the game already.

ZOMG! It's showing just 3 days left now!! Yup.. that timer surely is weird... @_@
But i think that it's getting more and more accurate as the date is closing in... :D
Anyhow..
As from what i speculate according what i've heard is that the game will be hitting the stores sometime in November. The US release date, that is.
Just like Carbon... i just hope the game isn't like that... *prays*
But i surely am excited to know whats gonna happen on the 31st! Something about the game is to be released 100%! And i wanna know that!!

Most likely the site will be launched and the official name will be published.
I guess the US release date will be indeed somewhere in November, since NFS Underground all new NFSs were released in November (with NFS Carbon released on October 31 (pretty much November as well) as exception).

Wait... November... as in... THIS YEAR NOVEMBER?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! O_O O_O O_O O_O O_O
AWESOMELY AWESOME!!!!!!
Ooh! Ooh! What do you guys the official name will be?? Hmm? Let's do a little fun game... how about we all make our own guesses about what the name of the game may be. And whoever gets the correct guess(Which will be confirmed on the 31st hopefully) WINS!! :D
Don't ask wins what since i don't know the answer to that yet :P
AND
How about a few guesses of what the game would be about and what all things would be there in the game??
Your predictions...?
Let the guessing and predictions begin!!
