Need For Speed: Carbon


Recommended Posts

Probably because the game lost appeal so fast :(

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...

maybe if the game didnt crash so much id post some nice screenies of my beauties :(

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.

Probably because the game lost appeal so fast :(

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. :pinch:

And finally, they axed the junkman performance parts. Arghhhhhh.

But in any case, here's my car:

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.

Has anyone unlocked the 1986 Toyota Corolla GTS (AE86)? I wanted to see if it was available in the PC version. I can't seem to find a screenshot but I've heard it's in the game.

I have :p

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.

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 :p

All my Career cars, on 100% Now.. anyone know how to make money when the game is finished so i can buy my koinigseggy :D

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.

Always keeping it clean and simple :cool:

I read that only the Japanese version comes with the Trueno (without unlock) but that for the pc we might have to download some patch later?

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 :cool:

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. :/

    • Was it too much to ask to show the icon in this article?
    • Frankly, I blame whoever is writing such articles. "A big improvement/update and/or new feature is now available to everyone! Also, use this unofficial tweak tool to enable it because it actually isn't available to you yet officially and might not in fact even be entirely ready or whatever, hence why it is perhaps not enabled for you*. But it's great and you should enable it!" I mean there's nothing wrong with sharing info about some feature you might need to enable via unofficial means, of course. It's just that these articles tend to essentially end up being two news pieces in one, and one of them tends to be a bit misleading. (*Yes, yes, the "it's a controlled rollout!" thing. Not a fan of that one either. The argument, not the actual rollout.)
    • Thank you. Will do. I read in the release notes that editor config might be at play here.
    • Actually, I think even Microsoft doesn't know how to control it
    • OpenAI is making Codex more useful in Chrome and the cloud by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI's Codex now has more than 5 million users, up nearly 4x from earlier this year. To further accelerate Codex's growth among developers, OpenAI today announced that it has agreed to acquire Ona, a company that builds secure cloud execution and orchestration technology for developers. Ona will enable developers to run Codex with persistent and controlled cloud infrastructure for long-running agentic workflows. Right now, most Codex execution happens locally on developers' laptops and PCs, and the agents work continuously for hours. Through Ona, OpenAI aims to make Codex agents keep working for days without being tied to a user’s local machine or an active session. This will be an important capability for enterprises that want to deploy AI agents in production while maintaining control over infrastructure, data, security boundaries, credential scope, logging, and review workflows. Like any acquisition, the deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Until the deal closes, OpenAI and Ona will continue to operate as separate companies. After closing, Ona’s team will join the Codex team to improve developer workflows. Alongside the Ona acquisition announcement, OpenAI today introduced a few Codex updates. Developers can now save Codex rate limit resets and use them later instead of losing them when they are not needed immediately. OpenAI is also adding a referral option where users can invite a friend to Codex and get a saved rate limit reset. OpenAI today also announced a developer mode for browser use in Chrome and the Codex in-app browser. With this mode, Codex can use the Chrome DevTools Protocol to debug web apps, inspect pages, and work more directly with browser-based development workflows. Developers can use this when they want Codex to profile JavaScript, inspect console output and network traffic, examine web page states including the DOM and applied styles, and more.
