Okay,
Quick update. I unlocked so many cars in a matter of minutes i had a hard time picking one, but i settled on the SLR


Except for the spoiler it looks exactly like mine
Here is my favourite car, the Cayman S.
I know people won't like it, but I do
Too late to edit, sorry...

Some great cars guys

keep 'em coming! I just found out my normal source for release dates is wrong

seems we (Au) are not getting Carbon this Thursday...seems the official release date is 16 Nov

why do we we always get screwed over like this? the same thing that happened with Most Wanted is gonna happen with Carbon

(e.g. by the time we (Au) got Most Wanted all the other people (NA/EU) had already clocked the game and got the fastest cars so when I went online for a game, I'd be in the Cobalt SS (best I could get at the time) and the other racers were in M3 GTRs and Carrera GTs which is why I never play NFS online cause what is the point? I'll get thrashed by all those NA/EU players with thier top cars..way to go EA

) ok I've had my rant

EDIT: My bad, I was half right..seems the Xbox 1 version is due Nov 9 and Xbox 360 (and other versions) is Nov 16..why such a gap between releases? and why the Xbox 1 version coming out first??
Oh well looks like my source this time (was actually the Xbox.com Australia site) was wrong anyway

poped into my local shop and they just got it in, so I grabbed the 360 version

I would of got the PC version but my PC can't handle Carbon very well (but can run Most Wanted maxxed out...guess Carbon is more demanding then it looks

)
I know this is for the PC version, but you can upload pics from the 360 version. So I'll post it here, I hope nobody minds too much me posting shot(s) from the 360 version?
[attachmentid=168826]
No much yet, only got the game today

if there is a version of this thread for the console version(s) of this game please just tell me where it is rather then bashing me for posting here? thx
don't worry about it, no one will bash you. I started this thread so I approve

. It don't matter what graphics it is or what system its on, as long it shows off your creativity, taste, style, etc....

Did anyone notice the heavy camera/car shaking - in 3rd "person" mode? I experienced it in the demo and saw it in the final. First i thougt it is because of the bumps on the road. But if you do a little jumping the shaking continues in the air too.
After reading some reviews i see it is some kind of feature, but it drives me wild... like sitting on a washing machine and playing from there. Am i the only one who this bothers?

There, been at the game for a little bit, did a little work on my cars. I tried to keep it clean and simple..for some reason they don't look that good on the screenshots..but they looked better on the TV

Sorry I'm going off topic, but where the hell do I buy a new car?
I'm now stuck with my first car and one boss car (The green Mazda(?), that I won by luck.

You mean those bridge looking icons?

mm gotta love the evo
Very nice.
Shall post my ride later today, but a question about the gameplay.. is the type of cars that get unlocked in career affected by the type of car youre using? I used the camaro ss for the first quarter or so and it only seemed to unlock muscle cars through the gameplay.

Ok I've been busy and got some more cars. The RX-7 and RX-8 haven't changed much since the pictures I posted a while ago, I've now got a Dodge Charger R/T, Suburu Impreza WRX STi and a Murciélago.

Wow, no-one seems to have replied for awhile...well this will probably be my last for a while too

I've clocked the career mode now, just messing around (slowly) unlocking the extras

I must ask though, is it my imagination or are the cops much more aggressive in Carbon compared to Most Wanted? (I find they are, I get busted heaps more in Carbon then I did in Most Wanted anyway...perhaps I'm just crap?

)
Anyway, no new cars, I changed the look of my Dodge Charger R/T and my Murciélago.

After finishing the Career mode quite quickly I can understand why many people might of lost interest. There is plenty more to do though, but with some of the Challenge Series challenges been quite hard and same for some of the Reward Card stuff..I know what was quite fun for a while turns into frustration...

The 360 version crashes too

I think the game was poorly coded...if EA spend more time on making a quality title rather then trying to pump out a new NFS every year it wouldn't be so bad. I like Carbon despite many people thinking it was crap and personally I felt the NFS series was one of the few quality titles to come out of EA (I followed the series since TNFS:SE), but now it's turned into a ritual of pumping out a NFS every year...Carbon could of been a hell of alot better though if EA spent some more time on it, I would of been happy to wait a few years for a new NFS, if it meant it would be a quality game, packed with features and fun! (like the old NFS games were) but that is just me.
Is it worth buying the SLR Mclaren when you have the Murcielago?

The game just doesn't feel that fast compared to MW. I'm guessing maybe it's because the races have TOO MANY DAMN HARD TURNS. It's expected for canyon duels and drifts, but others just don't have enough straight ways to easily cruise on. Did I mention that the highway is sorely underused in this game?
I also can't find a way to increase the turning speed in Carbon, so most times I end up crashing the damn car onto the sides.
And finally, they axed the junkman performance parts. Arghhhhhh.
But in any case, here's my car:

Ea ruined the nfs series after they came out with underground....the racing is horrible (I hate the damn blurry effect) And there were maybe 4 tracks at the most just raced them backwurds to make it seems like there were more tracks.

Nov 20 2006, 04:39
with the muscle cars, i found that the steering could be awsome at times and horrible at others, i would drift around corners like it was nothing, and on others it seemed like i was not turning at all. i finally uninstalled the game because it got boring since i was at the boss race and i stopped playing because i just reinstalled some old games that i found interest in.

This game has too much glitter...everything is so shiny and sparkly, horribly inaccurate graphics I'm afraid and hasn't changed at all since need for speed high stakes...They managed to do it right in need for speed porsche unleashed then it went down again. The cars are awesome, however and they are modeled pretty well.

Underground 1, 2 and MW are great games, altought, with Carbon, they did like a "fast" job, a lot of the cars i really wanted in carreer mode never were available, and they were just available as "Custom Cars" with no visual tweakings possible...
Im 3 challenges away from beating em all, then im going for the challenge cards
All my Career cars, on 100% Now.. anyone know how to make money when the game is finished so i can buy my koinigseggy



I quite a few cars but imageshack just crapped out on me so i you'll just have to settle for my EVO and Skyline, fully Tuned with Race packages but body's left except for the alloys, i think the kits for them look like shite.
Well, I started playing NFS a few days ago and I'm around 35ish percent. I started with the RX-8. When the RX-7 was unlocked, I just had to. I just think it sucks that theres not a single Acura or Honda in the game. The Honda NSX-R, s2000, Civic SiR 2002+ or the Acura Integra Type-S (DC5) would of fit nicely.

Not "my" car. Just installed the game and did a quick race with the Carrera GT. Amazing car, altho my favorite is the Shelby Mustang GT500

However, I don't like how the car's edges look aliased even on max. settings/details and 4xAA applied. Just look at the spoiler of the Carrera.
