Read my preview of NFS Undercover (http://www.nfsaddons.com/nfsuc/ucpreview/), and post any comments/questions in this thread :)
WHat cars are expected? Is it going to be day or night or both?? :squint:
Quote from: Ark-X StylizerWHat cars are expected? Is it going to be day or night or both?? :squint:
For the cars, i can see from the pics:
EvoX
997 Turbo
997 GT2
GT-R
Eleanor (?)
IS-F
and from the production pictures:
TT
R8
LP640 Roadster
Viper GTS
Awaiting the full list though, looks a tempting proposition :p

They are being very secretive about their carlist like usual. All we can speculate is what ToyotaWish listed. Plus I'll add that there is a CLS 600 (I think. Not sure on the exact model)
And it all takes place in the early morning. No time changes.
Just added 3 new screenshots to the NFS Undercover Screenshots section.
Looks like we can add an M6 to the game :)
First thought that comes to mind after reading this is: "safe". EA seem to be playing it very safe with this release, it seems to have pretty much everything that made NFS Most Wanted good, and - so far - it doesn't look like it will have 'forced' new gameplay additions like the Wing Men thing in Carbon.
So it looks a lot like MW2, and like I said earlier this year, that is not a bad thing; MW is still my favorite NFS since PU, and I'll be sure to try this out.
You mentioned the physics being an evolution from ProStreet, Mike: that sounds interesting, would you say it feels very different from MW's physics, which (I think) felt more arcade-like after NFS U2, probably because of the gameplay with cop cars blocking you/boxing you in?
Also any idea on damage being in this game (aside from the copcars), and, like the last two games, classic muscle? :cool:
Loved some of the imagery, by the way, especially the concept art, some of it is very desktop-worthy. Again, those gameplay shots look very MW-ish, except in high res, and with a less dominant color filter.
"Most Wanted 2" was tossed around during the community day. Not by EA, but that is what alot of the fellow NFSers thought. We didn't get too much time to play it, and it was an alpha build, but it did feel more solid than Most Wanted. They call it an "Action driving" game, because it doesn't fall into the sim category, and it doesn't fall into the arcade category. It's somewhere in between.
Damage is in the game, but it is visual only, so smashing into a wall at 180mph will only affect the looks of your car, it will still be able to go 180 again.
Hey Mike, I really Like the Screen shots and all the Stuff you posted up so Far!
On this Looks Great im Starting to get into the Mood of it now. :D
Um k, so do we have to have a Pc Like on the Space Shuttle, to Run the Game?
I hope not,i havent seen any Game specs list yet,do you have that by any chance?
I Hope there will be more Video's out soon,later on too see.
Thx :)

Ah, that 5l V10 pufferfish to drive!
Lovely!
No physics damage? that's stupid... I'm kind of interested in whether they're going to reintroduce "be the cop" mode. You know, like get in cruiser and go and bust racers, not just this "infiltration" nonsense, whatever that is. And honestly I'm sick of storylines-It's NOT a movie. What was wrong with NFSHS/HP2 style games I will never know. But it still seems to be an improvement. I'll certainly check it out.

TT is ok, and R8 and Viper GTS, but LP640 roadster?! coupe is much better than roadster.
Bless the Undercover!... NHL09 promise to be funky. Maybe Undercover will be like "You looks like hell!" (says scientist to mr.blood / he were actualy from hell). LAN should be there and as free for all. LAN - online plays with more than 1 real humans from relative distance to each other. You know that "Race Days" (aka "Ill Do my Best") is upset me personaly. Now im beilive that i can choose Diablo, turn ignition, make few slides and turns around garage area and with some crazy whistle jump to lights of the sunny street, that bright and flairs will make a trace in my mind. yo.
Yup, I'm eager too to play undercover. And I'm happy they forgot about drifting, since the drifts were somehow not very real.
@Geminiyo: NHL09 sure is going to be awesome, but only for XBOX 360 and PS3, PC version will be, again (since NHL05), a PS2 port.
I've seen the PS2 of NHL 09 version available....*drool*
I agree with Crownvic.
Some good things in old games which ea forgot are rain and snow.
Snow are rare in the game. But all games that has it are fine. ...chaser,daikatana,nfshs,spec-ops,rainbow six3...you see all of them are funky. / I saw info on official nhl09 site that player combination to falls on ice only 300 variation (animation). and animation is (i hope) quality to import on any platform. perhaps graphics will stay but animation is new, and its big and many - thats why i said nhl09 promise to be nice. Also brakeaway moves and free stick feeling. I dont think its bounded with undercover. May be its just noise.
---
by the way who wants to play with me in nhl09 3on3 or 2on2? (via IP) just in the time it will come out. Its VERY fun. slap shots, ontimers, slam body checks that is very friendly stuff i know it.
Heres the video ive filtrate to make it looks good from NHL99 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BvpWVdj2HU
NHL09 looks sweet. 08 was game of the year on a lot of sites, and 09 takes the "skill stick" even further by letting you use it on D now too :)
Do you guys play it? If so... PM me.. want some beta testers for something ;)
played enough in nhl08. its good and has ballanced variation of long distance shots...that sometime being blocked etc, so im not sure bout more than 2 connections via IP to play together 2 vs 2 (2 players for 1 team), that future will be in 09, but to make small tourny like tourney that have place to be on some forums around the world - is possible. at least we need 4 players. I can play for New-jersey or detroit, my favorite team is from DALLAS (thats why im geminiyo). Go on! i dont have for a moment nhl08 but i know this program is free to play on IP connect (im sure), and it wont take long to dl. / Bucksavage, its not very fun to play it on dial-up i know it you will be have some lags but ur 49.0kbps may hold it fine. Mike, if it needed i can get a Rosters, i know the place and game mods. / Also if any1 interesting we can play nhl2002 that has Good graphics, Amazing soundtrack, best comentary, play by play player cards(boosters), absolutly nasty checking abbility....DRIVE! I have CD of this game. Every one who is interesting PM me.
Here is pregame soundtrack from nhl2002 - http://www.fino.w6.ru/storage/nhl2002pregame.mp3
I play NHL 08 alot on my PS2, but I can't get online with it, no broadband.
Enough of nhl, can we go back to main topic? It is good that open world racing is back. Will nfs13 come next year, two years later or this is last nfs?
Somehopw I doubt that this will be the last NFS, even if it takes more than a year, the franchise has enough legs and EA is healthy enough to try to make more money off of the NFS name.
@Oliver: The game is expected to be released for PC the November 18th in USA and around the November 20th in Europe.
I asked about nfs after undercover:
John Riccitiello, Electronic Arts CEO, also confirmed that nfs after undercover will be released in 2009. Is this right information? I read it on some nfs site.
As far as I know, there will still be an NFS released every year
Im not sure if that link will opened for you but here is all screens of new NFS
http://www.ag.ru/screenshots/need_for_speed_undercover
Thats more like it. I can't wait for this game!!:cool:
whatever happened to NFS being about the cars? I played NFS back in the 1990's when they had need for speed 2, then Porsche unleashed. whatever happened to this franchise in that regard?
some of us, not all like old muscle cars, the stangs, GTO's, impala's and alot more.
I like a good mix; some tuners, some muscle, some exotic.....I want the game to reflect a wide range of people's interest, not just tuners, or the exotics, or muscle, but many types.
I want good mix too, but I want some old cars in the game, remember old cars in nfs5.
My questions:
1. Is there going to be a "be the cop mode"?
2. Is there going to be a dashboard view?
3. Is the car driver animated, like NFSHS, PU and HP2? Or is it still a statue that never moves?
4. Are they going to have a first role character like GTA and Driver? Or is it like the past 3 NFSs, some unknown dude that we'll never see his face?
5. And finally, how good are the cut scenes and the game integrated into each other?
Thanks.
The pics show cops Mode..But Good Questions,AmirGTR :)
I can answer the be-the-cop question with this:
http://pg.fpcyberdesign.ca/forum/index.php?showtopic=3687
Read through it and see what you think
@Amir: Gamespot preview says something about the cutscenes. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/driving/needforspeedundercover/news.html?sid=6197907&mode=previews
And about this first role character I don't really think so...If they wanted to do it that way, we'll probably read it somewhere.
Oh, Tow more cars to the "car list": Pagani Zonda and Porsche Carrera GT.
Have you seen the last movie: http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/driving/needforspeedundercover/video/6199662/need-for-speed-undercover-official-movie-3?hd=1 very interesting.
Kinda remind me to NFSC with day light...And why all the games use the same song? That song is also in PURE soundtrack....(and there's a song in Pure from NFSMW soundtrack)

May as well post this here... interesting 6-minute video where one of the developers demonstrates NFS:UC's improved driving physics. :cool:
nice physics.
I just saw that picture:
(http://ll-100.ea.com/cem/u/f/GPO/ea.com/Need%20for%20Speed/Undercover/US_Media/assets/jpg/NEW_NFSSCREENS_AUG22/DisplaySize/NFSUC_AUG22_09.jpg)
Can you tell me if that cop car is a challenger? I think it is, but I'm not sure...
(just in the event thats a Challenger) Do you think t is going to be available for us or it's going to be only a cop car?
That's the new original cop car replacing the GTO I think. Then there's a GTR "Tactical Response" unit and a Porsche 911 unit as well.
It has a mode where we can drive cops also. Thats a good thing. :D
In multiplayer mode or during the career?
It would be great if we have to chase somebody like a cop during the story or something...
Both.
Hi i didn't know where else to post this?..
So hope some can answer my Q's:
in the "My Cars" area, i cant seem to find that area in game can you tell me how do we access that area when im inside the Garage, area? i only see one car i have at a time? (Cant find my Bought Car/s)Like i can hit Back space, to go back so on. I cant see how i enter that My Car' place? If i ever do when can i use a diffrent car?
I just got the Game umm, 2 days ago. Now i have Worked Hard all day and im Back on my Dell Pc with more Power & RaM, i was having Video Card Problems but its fixed now.
Im not on High Settings, but it sure Sounds, Runs,Looks waay Better! than on my E`Machine Last 2 days ago. It's Not Choppy any more, So any help on Finding How the My Cars Area, would be Good. Can we use them in Career Mode? Thx.
Well i Just Edited this out i Pink Sliped the Green Elise i have now seems better and have the 1st Upgrade and NoS now so maybe im getting some place ;)
I havent Bought any Cars yet because my Cash isent very high yet?
OK, in your garage you can find the pink slips, that you can only remove, and the cars you bought, that you obviously can sell. Once you finish the game you disable "my cars" area, where you can "modify" all the cars you want only to be used in quick races. So, to go to my cars area you must go to "quick race" (in the main menu) and you'll see that there's a new option..."My cars". I'm not completely sure cause I didn't search for it while I was with the career mode, but as I told you, I think it appears once you finish the career.
Hope it helps!
Oh ok i see more, i guess.. I give that a Try Thx for the info J08 :cool:

I am not impressed with the game.
GTA is the best!
I really enjoyed the game. But it wasnt made very properly. It looks as if made in a hurry. Many small minor bugs which could have been corrected exist.
