[KrAzy_K]

Hi Guys,

I trust everyone is well!

It is now official, Need For Speed Carbon is due to be released on the 27th of October instead of November!

The shelf price is expected to be R279 but may vary as different shops add commision to the games sold! However, It will be available for Pre Order from BT Games for R259 as long as you purchase it before the 25th of October as that is the cut off date!

If you have any queries you may get me on Email: kyle@openweb.co.za or on MSN at: kbreeler@hotmail.com

Best Regards,

KrAzY_K!

what is the story line? still being chased ?

 

[GangStarr]

Source:NFSUnlimited
"Carrer will start with with a canyon chase with our old friend from Most Wanted, Cross. Of course your car is crashed at the end of the chase meaning you'll have to start all over, but the starting car choices are bit more interesting: Chevy Camaro SS (Muscle), Alfa Romero Alpha Brera (Exotic), or Mazda RX8 (Tuner). Carreer then continues with you taking over territories by winning the races (you got a glance of that in the recently released Xbox 360 demo)."

"Online has 8 different modes including the all new police modes: Pursuit Knockout and Pursuit Tag. In Pursuit Tag the "driver is in a race car and everyone else is police. The goal is to be the race car for the longest amount of time". Pursuit Knockout is like the original Knockout, except the driver who is knocked out becomes a cop with a mission to stop the remaining racers. It seems that the cop modes are extremely fun as the reviewers were more than satisfied with them."

"Remember the Collector's edition? It will contain "12 new tracks, six new challenge series missions, and 10 exclusive cars including the 92’ Nissan 240 SX, 07 Jaguar XK, Pagani Zonda, 06 Camero Concept, and the 06’ Koenigsegg CCX"

does that answer your question LabAnimal?

Bring it on

I guess i know what i'm doing this afternoon when i get home - Finish NFS Most Wanted

 

[GangStarr]

You also have a crew. Certain crew members do certain things eg.
Scout (will drive ahead and find you shortcuts and alternate routes)
Blocker (will take out your opponents ride)
Drafter (will drive in front of you and allow you to draft them)
Fabricator ( will help mod your ride [visual] )
Mechanic ( no explanation needed)
Fixer ( help you with the law )

Survive the Canyon - All-new Canyon Duel and Drift race modes are the ultimate test of skill and nerve, where one wrong turn could cost you more than the race.

Customize Your Dream Cars - The revolutionary new Autosculpt™ car customization tool gives you the power to design and tweak your crew’s cars in every way imaginable.

Represent a Class - Affiliate with the Tuner, American Muscle, or Exotic car classes and prove once and for all who makes the best set of wheels. A new physics model makes each class handle and drive differently.

Sounds pretty cool to me and by the looks of it they brought drifting back...sweet

I just CANNOT wait for this game. I'm been a huge fan of the series since Underground 1. I've played, finished and loved Underground 1, 2 and Most Wanted. Brilliant games, brilliant game play and brilliant soundtracks.

 

[neio]

I just hope that they allow you to import your own music this time. It really sucks to listen to rap crap.

If u look at the movie it looks nice, the railing breaks so u go down the hill really fast . Hope there is full damage and all that. Would be nice. And Hopefully more difficult.
