Hey, looks like another ricey NFS game, probably with even weirder looking bodykits and more modifications than you can poke a stick at, i like the idea of cops though. :cheers:

Quote: NFSCars.com:

The series will ditch the Underground moniker, with the new game carrying the title Need for Speed: Most Wanted. The information, leaked to us last week, states that the multi-platform offering will ship across the world in late 2005.

Most Wanted will be available for Xbox 2, Xbox, PlayStation 2, GameCube, PC, PSP and “Game Boy Advance or Nintendo DS.” A pleasant added value news snippet details a “…simultaneous ship, with the Xbox2 platform", which indicates a late 2005 release for Xbox2 too. Though whether the machine will go under the ‘Xbox2’ name is unclear. But the launch period, as dated by the world’s leading third-party publisher, can now be pencilled in.

The picture we get is of a game that is not really too different from the Underground duo, with one key difference: Most Wanted takes the series back to its roots, with police chases making up the body of the gameplay. (Yipppeeee !!!! <----- Viper's personal Observation )

The game will feature:

"Outwit cops" missions

Visual customisation to manage your ‘heat meter’

Epic Hollywood-style police pursuits with up to 15 cop cars on screen

Skill-based cop evasion and upgradable evasion technology

Interactive environments conducive to eluding cops

There is also a rap-sheet system, in which a player’s notoriety is upped by performing more dangerous manoeuvres in the view of following police.

Eight game modes are promised:

Multiple point races

Toll booth races

Speed trap photos

Outrun

Outrun best route

Circuit

Sprint

Knockout – Cost to state, pursuit milestones and headlines

Milestones

Four ‘distinct regions’ will be offered, along with real time weather and an evolving environment.

*There will be no racing during the night-time*

all the action taking place between sun up and sunset.

Online play will be included with what is described as a ‘similar feature set to NFSU2’ though this time, world-wide play will be included with no conflict between the North American and European versions.

Around 100 motors will be on offer. ‘Asian import (tuners), exotics, American muscle and Euro imports,” as detailed by EA.

Could this mean the more rice we put on, the higher the 'heat meter', the higher the chance cops will chase us?

Guess its better to build sleepers

/me jumps for joy

Finally! Now we can see where we're driving!

Also seems like this game'll encourage stupid behaviour...It'll definately affect the pre-pubescents heavily, with the wrap-sheet system in place...

I'd also like to see a return of the S2000, DC2 and DC5 Integra (and not just in the American version!) And I personally wouldn't care if they decide to 'lose' all those SUV's and the American rice culture. Don't like my chances tho.

SUV's = homo in N4SUII they were good to do up but the worst to drive!the S15 would be great im not a big fan of the dc5 but i like the dc2. and i really like the whole concept of underground so if they scrap it ill be pissed. even tho this may have similiar atributes i will miss underground :'( and if theres no similarities to UG then it doesnt get my vote

lol - must have taken a bunch of genious' to think that one up.. Need For Speed: High Stakes meets NFS:U.. don't you all feel jibbed they didn't put cops in the FIRST NFSU?

I can just picture a series of never ending sequels with slight improvements till it gets boring and nobody gives a shit anymore.. what happened before NFSU came out.

Isn't that what we all thought when Need for Speed 38 came out??

i herd that the creator of NFSU didnt put police in it because its strictly underground where all the rules are ment to be broken, when you come to think about it it wouldve been homo to put cops in nfsu cause u can get them in all the others, its prob good that there putting them in the new one though, im not a big fan on cops tho so thats my opinion :P

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.

      No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.

      Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.

      Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
