I like the way the cars are better proportioned than in HS, they're closer to the ground, but when up close they look superimposed onto the track. It must still be very early days.
Is that a police chopper equipped with 4 rocket launchers?:D

The scenery is awesome, but the car looks really cheesy!
Hope they fix that up a bit, make the cars as good as in NFS 5.

I'd love to see online racing with TRAFFIC ON!!!
That would level the playing field! :cool:

Has EA ever released a version of NFS on the first publically anounced release date? NFSPU was supposedly going to be released before Christmas 1999, eneded up being April 2000....

Yeah, they will in no doubt run into something which will delay the date. I still hold firm on my November/December release estimate. EA wants money and Xmas brings lotta money.

I'm gonna go with you on that, I doubt either the September or October release dates will pan out. EA has such a long history of posting over-optimistic release dates that I never trust what they say.

MAN the pic of that Ferrari is insane (or as Homer would say ggghhhlllaaaaghhlll:p)

Three more months, eh? Well, still time to try for 140 points on deadlineracers I guess :) Just did a 1:58.37 Corsica, but I use a new technique hitting the wall on that sweeping righty after the first tunnel, so that gives me about a 0.25-0.33s advantage over Klappi, so he's about 0.2s faster than me if you consider he didn't use the new "trick", but he'll be back - looks like that's his newest favourite track, along with his long-time faves Alps, Auvergne & Schwarzwald (and Zone was his first all-time fave, would be my guess).

So...Schwarzwald, Alps, Autobahn, Auvergne, MC1, and MC2 remain (but Corsica isn't done, at least I'm not counting on it). I wish the 10 pts for prize's 57.96 MC1 were awarded long ago, but hey, we'll see about that...I only consider myself with 6 points there anyhow...and I always include Mazkx's times - like his 1:57.87 Cote, 57.90 MC1 and 1:58.81 Corsica, so really I'm only 3rd on MC1...

Whew - man that Corsica session drained me - been trying for 4 days - first day a few hours (probably 5 a day) and got a 1:58.96 with 70/0df and the low speed tranny, then next day a 1:58.50, and no luck after that...yesterday a few sessions, each a few hours (5-6 total for the day probably), again ran a 1:58.50, then best run yesterday was a 1:58.46, then today, ran a 1:58.50 yet again, and then yet another 1:58.46, and ten finally just now the 1:58.37, and I'd run a bunch of other 1:58's with one 1:58.59 or so I think being the fastest of the other ones...

Man...no wonder I've been laying low with NFS fiending the last bit...it's so tiring...and to think I got the 1:57.68 Cote in one session, out of the blue since I didn't even play for a week or two before that, and got the 1:57.68 after only a hour and a bit of racing (2 hours max) - that one was a totally strange session - just had the knack in very little time...

Well, at least I have a 24:16.39 cumulative now, but that will be a 24:14.99 for sure before it's left alone - I think a 24:13.99 is in the cards, and hell, just maybe a 24:12.99, if ultra-near-perfection is attained on all tracks, and all records must be attained to achieve that...

&( gotta go chill and take a shower...

NFS6 just around the corner...ooh I'm so anxious :'( ^_^

again, crazy Domagoj.. lol


5 hours a day for that long on one combination...

I spend usually 30min or so.. and then i lose all concentration and start crashing.. same with online.... get closer and closer to WR.. and finally lose it, and every run ends in a crash or 2 sec slow.. mmm

markus doesnt race no way as much as you.. just lucky I guess for a good natural feel of the cars...

Often I only race MCs with 5 or 6 laps offline coz I only do one run.. and whatever time I get is good enough.,.. sometimes that stretches into a few goes.. most ever was racing on MC5... my times were all 43.90, 44.00, 44.03, 44.06, 44.09.. 44.12... all very close... but other tracks large differences between times.. I did try MC5 fwd a week ago.. best I did was 44.3.. and I think i have a better setup now... oh well... i suck...
