Hello NFS Fans
I am talking to the fans who played the very firs NFS: ROAD& TRACK. We had a lot of fun with this game didn t we
So we had this crazy idea with a friend of mine.
LETS CREATE NFS 1 in with a new good looking coat ! .Not that the old game looks ugly.Noooo way. It is just a Idea how to recreate a game that we all enjoyed. ANd make it just for the sake of enjoyment and love to the old game.So here is the Idea:
1st alternetive:
Using Porsche Unleashed 2000
+ car phisycs (very important!!!)
+ traffic (with traffic patch even more)
+ lot of cars already modeled for this game
+ cops could be enabled
- could not receate the old classic tracks from the original NFS game(very BAD!!!)
but personaly I think that NFS PORSCHE has beautiful tracks.
so If we choose to go the "Porsche" way I imagine that all the 8 cars would be done and configured as close as it is to the original or slightly better.ALSO ..as a reward we can add the models of the OLD cars prsented in the original game from the history slides of each car.The goal is and would be to enjoy the cars and tracks while trying to beat the AI / or friends.
Feel free to come up with more ideas .
2nd alternative
selecting an opensource car simulation oriented 3D engine and recreate (or convert) the models of cars and tracks etc.
I think Cars would be easy to convert as all of them are done for example for NFS MW.
Tracks wold be created from scratch with Track editors and 3D modelers like blender.
I did a little research and here is the list with the possible engines:
Vdrift(http://vdrift.net/)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e57scWGyp0I&feature=related
very impressive gamplay and phisycs try it out.
source code is open so we can make some tweaks and thus making it as close to the original game as possible
it ingludes Track editor and blugin for BENDER(free) to convert the modelled tracks. and cars etc
TORCS(http://torcs.sourceforge.net/)
free opensource

RACER (Racer.nl)
free opensource car and track editor ...plugins for blender etc for modelexports
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2vWN5DgCeQ&feature=related
So What dou say?This project needs Modellers an maybe aditional programers but this part probably would be done by me and my friend altough help is always apriciated.So Leave comments if you are intrested.
Thank you all
