Need for Speed - Carbon ... Widescreen ?

PCMusicGuy · Post by **PCMusicGuy** » 01 Aug 2006, 02:44

Well, i believe they are open topped.
But still, i wouldn't like all the bugs in my mouth and eyes. :lol:

You must be very tall then. I'm 6'3" and only from my eyebrows and up would be exposed over the windshield. :P

Can't EA get in some kind of trouble for giving buyers false impressions? There are lot of guys out there that have no clue about this forum and are sure to buy it just because of the widescreen shots.

I'm 1,97 meter. That would mean atleast my eyes are exposed.
Ew, a wasp in my eye wouldn't be fun. :shock:

Heh.

I'm slightly taller than Steefy! ;) 200.66cm! 8) (The .66 is important - it won me Ã‚Â£50 of a mate. ;))

You bitch. :lol:
So you get the wasp also in you nose. :D

And i want to hear that story about the 50 bucks you won. :)

He bet me when we were 190cm each that I couldn't break 200. He set the figure, I didn't, so he couldn't complain. He never broke 195cm. :lol:

I'm now almost 30cm taller. :lol:

Well im only 5'8" and ill be quite happy in my Lotus :).

Second hand ones are well priced too.... shame no-one wants to insure me on one!

there is a preview on gamestar.hu I asked the tester if there is widescreen and he said no - though he tested on a 5:4 lcd...

so fingers crossed

So long as theres a Lotus in there ill be happy .

Yeah, great car. Elise, Exige or Esprit? I like Exige and Turbo Esprit most. My wife drives only a Rover but we really like British cars. I like the new Aston Martin Vantage V8 too. I took a look at it on IAA Frankfurt in 2005. Awesome car.
Finally I'm also a fan of American muscles. (as some of you might have recognised yet. ;)) I'm glad EA puts some more of these in the game. Eventually I would really like to see an old style James-Bond-like Aston Martin or Lotus Esprit in the Game. :)

I think the Aston Martin DB9 is the car that God drives, that thing is not from this world. :lol:

I prefer Vantage or Vanquish. They look a bit more agressive. :twisted:

I tested xbox 360 Carbon demo and I must say I am so dissapointed..Need for speed series has lost the edge..

And the xbox 360 version of carbon don't look good at all..
Second thing..You can only drive at night..that is so crap..

Am I going to buy this crap? well maybe at 1/3 of the price...

Bluesilentpro · Post by **Bluesilentpro** » 22 Oct 2006, 21:49

Any idea when the PC-demo is out?

Heh.

Well I am 1.8 meters 5'11" tall and I cant even drive so I will probably hit 6'2" or more by the time Im done growing

Apperntly it will suport widescreen.. though i wouldn't be surprised if it only does 16:9.

Yes, the games certainly have lsot their edge - i blame the heavu focus on the lame-assed vehicle modding. that damned fad killed Need for Speed games.

"look at my flashy car that runs like shit! Aren't i cool?"

"ya! i put other drivers and pedestrians in danger to satisfy my ego!"

As you can see i really dislike teh street racing shit.

if you can afford to mod a car, you can afford to rent a racetrack.

sorry for the digress.. i'll still buy Carbon is it supports 16_10 anyway :>

The demo doesn't have widescreen support.

The resolution changer dll doesn't work (makes game run in small window top left of screen).

ArtMoney works but -V.

I'll upload screenshots after I've finished playing. :)

Edit: Comparison screenshots..

Screenshots (click on thumbnails for larger images):

4:3

16:10
