Nice Eye Candy

[FeZ]

I just did reinstall NFS MW on my new system.

It looks nice with all settings to the max, but thats not enough.

After smoking some decent cars with a stock Fiat Punto, this silly "all cars handle the same" crap and the ongoing repetitive boredom I decided to let it go.

They also havent bothered to fix the Sidewinder separate pedal bug and as it seems they are not going to as they already work on the next Underground clone.

Sorry EA but making a game with nice graphics is just not enough to keep adult gamers interested.

Hear hear! (Although I'm not sure how adult I am, I'm very much like my dad and he was a big kid to the end).

I very much agree. I mean, if you look at all the Need for Speed games, they're all pretty much the same. It's all just graphics. The cars and tracks you can all get off the net.

ummm not true, that only applies to NFS's made AFTER Porsche Unleashed.

Yup, all cars before that sounded and drove differently indeed. I've spent hours lately test-driving the NFS4 cars around a standing-start lap of Empire City for comparisom for a planned online-race between me and a good friend and the cars are very different in handling and lap times. Actually NFS6 cars also handled differently from each other, the 996 Turbo understeered a bit more than the 360 for instance but what makes MW so bad is the auto-leveling system for performance, at least in Underground it seemed like the performance was only levelled by the use of what level updates the car had, if you removed your nitrous then the AI car didn't have it either etc. but that the cars still had the stock power and used it that's another matter, and there didn't seem to be a catch-up function like in MW either. A FIAT Grand Punto outperforming a SLR, both in acceleration and handling, oh dear! =[
