NFS 5 PORSCHE UNLEASHED --- I am VERY excited !!!

The following are quotes from Gamespots Porsche Unleashed Preview (A.K.A.
NFS5) :

"Every single Porsche is included in Unleashed, from the first 1948 356
roadster to the speedy 959, which was banned in North America - the one that
got Bill Gates in trouble. That's more than 80 in all. The game uses a
brand-new graphics engine developed from the ground up, not a rehashed one
from an older game. The physics have been totally revamped to accurately
simulate the individual handling characteristics of each car as well. And
best of all, Unleashed sheds its arcade racer skin and instead plays more
like a simulator - more like the original The Need for Speed. "

But the following is what has me really e***d !!!

As part of EA's push to make the latest Need for Speed closer to the
original, Porsche Unleashed will mark the return of point-to-point roads. In
fact, the majority of the courses in Unleashed are open roads; there are
nine road courses in all, and only three racetracks. "The one thing which
[open-road courses] really allow is a sense of going somewhere - an integral
part of open-road racing,"

For all you fans of the original NFS SE this should be great news. Read the

I just hope that they blend in the persistent Internet community they are
introducing with Motor City.  I am looking forward to a little community
of Porsche racers.  I would love to "work" on a little bathtub 356 until
it can run with a Carrera RS.  now, if you could somehow merge the two
products we could have some great grudge matches between 911s and
Mustangs.

I agree, I've been waiting for EA to make this game for years. It's
about time!

I don't think so, that's a totally different game and concept as far
as I know.

Judging by the first screenshot, I'd say the valve covers are leaking oil
onto the headers<vbg>.

A common problem in the 356 Carreras with their shaft-driven cams...
