Fly... by °Phill 3 weeks 22 hours ago

This wallpaper captures the urban essence that proliferated the art of Ghost in the Shell in every incarnation of the series. Phill does an amazing job of capturing a moment of surrealism.

While there are a few, stray building angles and shadows, you find that your eye forgives the minor details and instead focuses on the overall scene that is larger than life, with lights trailing off into infinity.

Update: The Demo will be out sometime next week or by the end of the week. Expect the demo on the 20th or around.

The Demo contains Grip mode and Drag/Drift mode(i'm not too sure.. sorry..). Along with a few handful of beauties, which includes the GT-R Proto.

Not many tuning options etc. But maybe we'll get to have a little glimpse of it.

I'll try to get more info soon.

New vid released about car modification: link

If it's really true that every square inch you change in autosculpt effects the downforce and speed of your ride, it's going to take months to create that perfect ride.
It's really cool though, because everyone WILL have a unique car, except for the ones just downloading a blueprint etc.

Damn, now I really would like to play Pro Street in HD! But I don't have a PS3 or Xbox 360 or high end computer. #(u_u)# emoticon Guess I'll have to deal with shabby graphics on the PS2. =(

These are some unofficial minimum system requirements that will be very close to the official and actual minimum requirements:

OS: Windows XP/Vista
CPU: 2.8 GHz or higher (Windows Vista requires 3.0 GHz)
RAM: 512 MB RAM or higher (Windows Vista requires 1 GB RAM)
HDD: 8.1 GB free disk space or more
Graphics: 128 MB or higher (Pixel Shader 2.0, AGP and PCIe only)
DirectX: Version 9.0 c
DVD-Drive: 8x
Multiplayer: Internet Connection 512 Kbps, 2-8 Players
Input: Keyboard, Mouse
Optional: USB Steering Wheel / Dual Analogue Gamepad

Again, these are unofficial minimum requirements. The official ones could be higher but not lower. However, it'll be quite close to this.

One question coming to me due to this is: Will my proc be enough to handle the game? It's a Core 2 Extreme QX6700 at 2.66 Ghz.

Or will i experience lag?

That's just total bullshit. Seriously, clock speed only counts when you're talking about one CPU architecture (Conroe, Penryn, Athlon X2, etc.). I can assure you ProStreet will run crap on a Celeron D 3.2GHz, but will run perfectly smooth on a 2.40GHz E6600.
Minimum requirements for ProStreet are pretty low by the way.

Man, that's more than enough. Where did you get the money to buy that sweet processor? =D

Well these speculated minimum requirements confirm that my computer can't handle it. Even though I meet every requirement, it's gonna go nuts like it does with Carbon. >.<

Hmmm... well, i guess then those proc speeds apply only to the Core 2 Duo and above procs then..

Lol, JA. You haven't seen my new gaming system, have you? XD

Check her out here! (9+_+) emoticon

Also, here's a new vid(In HD) check it out: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/26560.html

The vid shows some pretty intense competition between the Proto and the Evo X! :D

I think that those two cars might not be available to the player till the end of the game... just a speculation though.. =/

But you know, from all the vids and scrn shots of the Proto that i've seen till now, none of em have featured a tuned up or customized Proto. The Proto always seems stock... hmmmmm.....

No, it's applied to bullshit.

Hot damn, that's a nice new vid, Firestorm, though I see lots of captures from previous trailers... But yea, it's a bit weird they promote the GT-R PROTO just stock. Maybe Nissan wants it that way or something.

Nah, I don't think the GT-R Proto and Evo X are cars you'll unlock at the end, that's still something for the Gallardo, Murciélago (LP 640), Skyline GT-R R34, Zonda F, M3 GTR, etc. I don't think Nissan prohibited EA to tune the GT-R Proto (Nissan doesn't make a fuzz about that like BMW did with the M3 GTR), EA didn't tune the Dodge Challenger Concept either in their Carbon videos. Perhaps EA doesn't want to screw up concept cars. =P

Man FirestormII, you're Evolution Four truely has many beauties inside. What on earth did it cost (your mother!) in total? I can only hope I can fund my dream machine, an updated (updated with Penryn or Nehalem processor) Mac Pro (Oh God, I love that minimalistic case) with nVIDIA 9800GTS, 1 or 2 Corsair XMS Dominator TWIN2X2048-8500C5DF, 1 WD HDD Raptor X 150 GB, 3 Samsung HD501LJ 500 GB. ^^

Good taste, man, that'd pretty much be my setup as well if I had the money. Except for the case, I'd take a Lian Li A10B.

Thanks! :D

In totality, it came to around $7500, excluding the UPS though! ^^

And i think i'll upgrade my sys aswell when the new hardware is out. A new proc(775 compatible), new graphics card(Nvidia 9800 GTX or Ultra for sure!), a Creative X-Fi soundcard, more and better RAM(Although part of it might just go to waste, lol) and maybe even a PhysX card.

ZOMGZ! I'm SO sorry! >_<
All of a sudden i merged the AP OC'ing group into the AMC group! >______________<
(._.); emoticon

Btw, JA, when will you start calling me Fire or Storm or FS?! P(T_T) emoticon

Also, why the Raptor X? Better to go in for the Raptor than the X.

Oh and the XBox 360 demo of Pro Street will be coming out very soon this week itself. In a matter of 1-2 days from today. The PC demo is to follow afterwards. That is another 1-2 days from then, i think... T______________T

I'm CRAVING for Pro Street!! GIVE IT TO US ALREADY!! t(>_<t) emoticon

Noooooo!!!!!!!! So that means that....... OMG NOES!! p(ToT)q emoticon

I guess i'll be playing the demo for quite a while then... :| emoticon

But anyhow, the 360 demo is out now. The demo consists of two game modes; Grip and Speed Challenge. Also, as of today; Oct 24, EA has released the Proto for the demo aswell. So now, there are two cars. The BMW and the Proto.

And in other news. Microsoft is playing dirty! Read this.

Yeah, Microsoft is scared! XD

OMFG! Your computer was $7500 and your mom paid most of it! You are sure one lucky bastard I can tell you that! ^^

I'll call you Fire or Storm when I'm ready for it. =P Besides...arent Fire and Storm already claimed by AP member *stormandfire? >:D emoticon
I want the Raptor X because it's better looking than the Raptor and design is an important factor for me.

Yeah, I also noticed that the new video was showing "In stores November 14, 2007". EA sure is testing out our patience! >.<
