Brodel Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 I just tried the demo and was pretty impressed. I have barely over minimum specs with a AMD 3000+ at 2.4ghz, 1gig of ram and an overclocked 7800GT and it ran perfectly smooth with settings on high and with the highest res possible.

CY:G Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Excellent game, the handling is weird but you get used to it. It is one of the best arcade racing games i have played, right when things are getting too repetitive, they throw you F1 Races, or Le Mans 24 hours, etc, im enjoying it a lot.... the F1 races are awesome. In Le Mans 24 hours, it actually turns to night while you are playing, its something so simple that no other racing game does, and it feels awesome, your headlights turn on, its just awesome. :) My only gripe with the game is the music... but i can put Winamp in the background with something else :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lingwo Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 It reminds me of the first NFSU but you can slide the car a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5Forty Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Recently downloaded the demo but I'm having a problem, when it asks to create a new profile I click yes to create a new save point but I get a display saying game save error, and so I cant even get passed the menu to start the demo. Any ideas what might cause this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Exactly how arcade is it? NFS arcade or Burnout arcade or Trackmania arcade or ToCA arcade? It's a bit like NFS Carbon. Got a question, saw my friend playing the Le Mans part and noticed there was no fuel gauge or tire wear, is this correct? If so, that's really, really lame.

RadishTM Veteran Posted June 2, 2008 Veteran Share Posted June 2, 2008 Yes, that is correct - normal damage applies as usual. I love the R34 Nismo Skyline :wub: Radish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shasoosh Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 I suck! How do you keep the car on the road? Every track there's a little sand or grass on the sides I'm spinning like crazy. I didn't manage to finish one race in the time i needed to. When i need to finish a lap in 1:39 in takes me 2:00 minimum. Any tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Teej Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 This is ridiculous. My system can't run the demo for this game - why? My specs aren't top notch, but they're not laughable in the slightest. 2.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6550 2 GB RAM NVidia 512MB 8600 GS 22" Monitor (1680x1050 native res) Windows Vista And yet, the only thing that will make the demo go at any credible frame rate is everything on absolutely lowest (custom lowest, not lowest preset setting), which looks absolutely awful and unplayable. Is this because of the demo, or because of my Rig? I know I don't reach the reccomend specs, but clearly I'm well above the minimum specs. Any suggestions?

ViperAFK Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Just got the full version of this. Runs significantly smoother than the demo. I had no problem with the handing of the two cars in the demo, but I am having a ridiculous time with any cars but the muscle cars in the full game (hopefully getting an xbox controller will help) They just spin out far too easily making some races nearly impossible, for some reason the only cars I don't spin out in are the muscle cars which doesn't make much sense because they are rear drive beasts.

offroadaaron Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 i just wanna drift and thats all, but how to you win cars to use in the Race Day section? My guess is you have to play the world tour or whatever its call to win cars. Ive done heaps of other team racing events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotdot Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Picked the game up yesters and so far am really enjoying it, tho im using the 360 controller. Couldnt imagine trying to steer without it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrk Reviews Posted June 3, 2008 Reviews Share Posted June 3, 2008 An Ultra HQ modified files pack was posted on SA by IcemanZero Here is my Ultra High Pack. Visible Objects are maxed out, so are shadows and some AA. Just overwrite with your configuration. Start the game choose your resolution, everything should work fine. (BACKUP YOUR OWN FILES)http://rapidshare.com/files/119545488/Ultr...h_Full.rar.html Here are some pp changes (lighting etc) for the tracks. http://rapidshare.com/files/119546867/ModV2.rar.html config for POS systems on its way Edit: Performance Pack for the "lower" end systems http://rapidshare.com/files/119547139/Performance.rar.html There's a definite improvement with the Ultra Quality Graphics! just look at how nice this looks: 1920x1200 no performance hit! Also in motion it seems smoother! the Shibuya Drift level in particular is butter smooth, so smooth and slick that if you were say back you'd think you were watching it live on TV !

TogaForComfort Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Nice Shots mrk. I am amased at how well this runs. I tried out the demo on the 360 and enjoyed it, I then realised it was a ton cheaper on the PC. I ws expecting it not to run that well with details maxed out on my lcd, but I was wrong. Just goes to show what a bit of care in the coding can do. NFS pro street runs like a dog on my rig, EA could learn a few things from codemasters. I'm running the game at 720p resolution with everything on ultra, using he 360 controller. Pure smoothness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
