Need for Speed Underground will be hot!

I am not a huge NFS fan, but have you seen the screens on this one? We are talkin great gameplay. Plus with the addition of the Nitrus Oxide features to give your car that extra boost; its like running right onto the 2 Fast 2 Furious set. The graphics are so in tune, in fact, that the scenery blurs whenever you hit the NOS button. The only thing I hope that will be available is the custom features. I want to be able to kick a$$ on the streets and then trick out my ride from the cash I earn! This game will be something to look forward to. :cool:

I was at funcoland and all I can say is omg. This game look totally different form nfshp2. I can't wait.

i wasnt a fan of the last one, but i loved prior ones... porsche unleashed prolly being my fav of all of them.

I have to say the hot pursuits were my favorites, but this underground title is going to take NFS to insane limits. :cool:

Any linkage for info or screenshots?

These are some great news! All the previous ones were great, and Underground .. hehe, just sounds cool.

Here is a link , the images are small but awesome. Even though it is not the greatest game, I do like NFS: HP2. Just not a great gamer, I guess.:)

Oh good... a Ricer Version of NFS, :p

I'm skeptical. I love the NeedForSpeed series. I've played them all since NFS2 and I'm near completion of Hot Pursuit 2.

However, I'm also right in the middle of Midnight Club 2 and I hope NFS:underground is nothing like this game. I don't like the "nitrous/boost" feature the way it is done. Real nitrous doesn't work that way, so why change the physics of a great game to add this cheesy effect?

I will probably get it, though, and enjoy it.

I race cars on the weekend at the drag strip. I have raced cars with big v-8's, n/a 4-cyl, turbo 4-cyl, and imports with nitrous. I go drag racing because it is safe if done properly. I use the games to relase the "urge" to do crazy things on the street. I'm hoping NFS:underground will mix the import scene into its already great collection of cars and physics.

well i have been playing the demo for few days already, online playing rocks and the graphics are intense...loving every bit of it.

I also have the demo and have been playing it.... it's 'OK'. There's just too much rice for me to deal with I think. The drag racing however is cool as hell and getting your shifts right is very important. The nitrous is too powerful though, in real life it may give you .25 seconds of your 1/4mile time if your lucky.

I'm a huge fan of rancing games that involve traffic or police. My favorite NFS was Hot Pursuit. This one looks awsome, I'm not a huge fan of the types of cars in the game, but it looks like a kick arse racing game.

I hope it's nothing like fast and furious. That would mean alot of super slow ugly cars.

Precisely :)

I couldn't bear to watch 2 fast 2 furious all the way through, the scenes I saw were just too dumb to bear.

I'm sure the nitrous oxide is overdone, but then again when you're playing the game most people want it to be fun instead of realistic. Granted, sometimes increased realism helps you feel more like you're in a real race (the blur effect was an excellent touch imo), but a lot of times you just want the sensation of going fast and flying around turns and such that is really hard/impossible in real life.

Personally I can look past the realism factors and just enjoy, and it looks like it's going to be a very slick game.

oh don't get me I wrong I understand what your saying and the game in general does give a feeling of speed which I really like but the nitrous is just too much for me.

I'm still an avid fan of the drag racing part, but if you want circuit racing you should go pick up GT3...

Funniest part of the second F and F was when the guy was in the neon, spins around backwards gives someone the finger then spins back around. Now, if that were real, he'd have dumped his transmission all over the highway.

Hehe double clutching I think you mean. Funny thing is that it's only for older cars who don't have syncros, not new ones, but hey, it's a movie ;)

Wow, car nerds...

Just watch the friggin' movie and enjoy it instead of picking on every little detail.

I mean, if I were to do that, I wouldn't enjoy any movie.

Nah, many people are just anti F&F/rice. Heck, I'm one of them. Yet I still like NFS Underground and the F&F movie wasn't too bad. My girlfriend dragged ME to see that.:eek:

yeah I saw the movie, and bought it (it's a good movie despite the rice) but I still want to kill every kid I see in a pimped out civic with a 20' spoiler which serves no purpose other than to add extra weight and drag.

And my cousin just recently cracked his VTEC block so I raise hell on him :)
