Need for Speed Undercover Trailer: Automotive Silliness

Got to love that, blazing down the street in sub twenty frames per second.

Playing a driving game at that frame rate is completely devoid of any proper sense of speed. And your eyes will bleed. And your head hurt.

When they have a fixed system, or console, why do they do that?

Cool I'm not alone with my thoughts.

Unrealistic physics?: Of course. If you ever seen a Porsche driving, you'll know it's not possible. I wouldn't even dream of such a weird excessive steering/acceleration behaviour.
I'd like to see the damage models of the cars, if there are any.
He done extreme burnouts. (I don't see how you can present a physics engine by that) Ever thought of what would happen to the tires when he does that? It was useless.

Graphics: No _big_ improvements ever since Underground/MostWanted. They keep it because
PS3,Xbox360 can't take any much higher - and this is to 100% a console title in the first way.

Road Traffic: Empty. Ugly low detailed and obviously extremly often repeating vehicles.
People? No people on the streets, is that possible? I want to see a city FILLED with them, and I want to see them using ragdoll physics on accidental crashes.
Yes I know, the garbage consoles wouldn't be able to handle it at all.

Innovation?: Could yet not find any. They are reusing the ideas/design from Most Wanted.
Oh wait. He mentioned one thing about the camera. ...it rotated. (when you mess around and not race)

Just another rushed cheap NFS title for christmas time, as usual.

This video sealed the deal. I will forget NFS: High Stakes and NFS: Pro Street ever happened and just think of NFS: Undercover as the sequel to NFS: Most Wanted. I am buying this for my 360 on launch week.

Is this guy being serious?

How unrealistic is the driving? It was more realistic in Carbon than this.


He says he is using MPH as his driving unit, and he takes a corner at 150mph and calls it drifting. I was looking forward to a new Need For Speed, but this video pretty much sums it up for me!

I'm not sure what's innovative or interesting about the stuff they're talking about. Isn't that shit in just about every recent racing game?

My take? Need for Speed: The Need for Driving Aids...

looks like they are taking the advice of gamers and going back to the Most Wanted gameplay. Out of all the titles in the "Underground" series it was my favorite and hopefully this one will be a continuation of that.

how can any of you comment on the physics without actually holding the controller in your hand? or knowing how suped up that car is? seems a little unfair i think...

NFS is and always was a video game, not a racing simulator...

Physics don't really look better than in other need for speed games. The stuff he drove through, it flew around like it was made of paper. And the car doesn't look like it is heavy, but it doesn't look like it is light either. It looks like it's glued on the (very empty) street.

Unimpressed by gameplay.

The physics in this game look terrible. It's like the cars don't have any weight whatsoever.

burnouts and reverse driving..... what the hell?!?


and what the hell is up with that guys hair? is that the first official corporate faux-hawk?
