I expect realistic handling, but I'm sure there's been a few compromises made along the way. I just hope the Ferrari title sees the light of day. Imagine a full-blown sim with those visuals! :eek: To be honest I wouldn’t even mind if this ends up being a kind of semi-sim.

Carbon was awful. It had constant CTDs that EA knew about from the eleventy thousand posts on their forum, they just didn't give a damn. Hopefully this new studio will be able to bring back the glory days of NFS. I just hope EA doesn't end up castrating them. After Most Wanted they’ve all been crap. Carbon was awful.

Maybe one day the old SBDT will rise from the ashes... Until i see otherwise, the development group formerly known as SBDT has finally lost me :(

I dont like the gangsta street racing themes, i feel it stereotypes the import cars very badly *me being a import car tuning enthusiest*, i hate seeing that image the underground series has gave it. goo back to the oldschool need for speed games!! back to teh exotics and highway racing with cops. that was fun.

I'll give this game a chance for sure though, it sounds a lot like a reinvention of Porsche Unleashed. Not expecting it to be on the same realism level as ISI's old f1 series for EA though.

What a great change they did! I'm really curious to see if EA will let SMS do the game in "their" way or if they will ask them to realize a sort of compromise.

Car handling was more realistic than arcade-like and really fun to play. yes i agree, NFS Porsche was one of the best parts of the serie.

Those games were never accurate, but they were still fun in an arcady way. Remember Porsche Unleashed? I enjoyed it, for what it was.

This looks very similar, I guess they may have adapted what they have already for this. Or I might be adding 2 and 2 and getting 5 :happy: Remember the shot of what I think was Monaco on the old Blimey website, for the ferrari sim.

The NFS name alone is definitely a turn-off though, no doubt about it. I guess the proof will be in the pudding. One things for sure though - I'd of loved to see GTR3 on that engine, yowza. :shame: Well, I wouldn’t be so sure. The NFS name alone is definitely a turn-off though, no doubt about it.

Remember that GRID was hailed as über-realistic pre release. I guess it is, if its simulating hover crafts with F1 turn in. This will be yet another sofa-racer with shiny rims and Snoop Doggy Dogg replay music. No it isnt, I will bet my testicles on it. Remember that GRID was hailed as über-realistic pre release.
