Need For Speed add ons?

Hi, I just picked up the 3.7mb demo of EA's Need for Speed, and I am really impressed. If I do buy this game, will I be stuck with the same old stuff, or is EA planning on coming out with add on disks for tracks, cars, etc? (a la Test Drive III). I've had a few games of this type, but they were all sort of mediochre... NFS is the first driving game (demo, technically) that's made me sit back and say "WOW!". The first I dropped the clutch on the Viper, I could almost smell $600 in tires going up in smoke... I'm hoping to get the full CD version the next time I'm out to the store, especially if EA is going to support this game with future add ons. Has anyone heard anything? Thanks! -Jon- .-------------------------------------------------------------------------. | Jon Steiger == DoD# 1038 == USUA# A46209 == NMA# 117376 == KotWitDoDFAQ | | 1991 Yamaha FZR600R /* Just another mangy hacker */ | `-------------------------------------------------------------------------'

Well, they just might, but for starters, the game has 6 tracks, which is twice what the original (3DO) version had. It's also got a bonus track and a bonus car which are fantabulous. I wouldn't exactly call it a skimpy game by any means... --Evan

Well, here's a hint: to get the extra car (and some other fun stuff), you need to do axactly twice as much as you did in getting the extra track. After you've done that, be sure to check out the credits. --Evan

Thanks for the tip! /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Wade 'FoxMan' Foxworth Huntsville, AL ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

It should be easy to make car and track upgrades. If NFS gets popular enough (in sales), they will probably make some add-ons. I'd like to drive a Vector, or a McLaren, or a Ferrari F50, or, or... -- ____________________________________________________________________________ Have: Edward Carter | The Red Hot Chili Peppers Rock!!!| '92 Honda Accord Newport Beach, CA, USA | IndyCar Racing Rules!!! | '95 Corvette ZR-1 White Male | Al Unser Jr. Kicks *** | '95 Suburban 454 4X4 ________________________________________________________________________________ Want: "Love Lone" on KROQ in | NASCAR Racing is cool too! | Vector Avtech WX-3 L.A. at 10:00pm RULES!!| Jeff Gordon And Rusty Wallace | Dodge Viper R.R. and D.D. are cool!| RULE!!! | Ferrari F40

Hmmm. So I'd have to win the turny *twice*? I have yet to win on any track but rusty, so that should be quite awhile in the future. Do I have to use the same player name or what? rms

What do you mean by doing exactly twice as much as you did in getting the extra track? please explain (layman terms) what we have to get the extra track & car. Thanks. Raven

A 20 or 30 CD ROM set of "Race Across America" scenery would be cool (dreaming again). Authentic state patrol cars, authentic Interstate route... Actually, I'd guess we'll see tracks instead of cars for add-on, even though they've fairly well represented most of the terrain you'd want to race on... SC

Please Lyle, don't give them any ideas, they already have some pretty lame cars in there, namely the 911 and the RX7 (which if the models of the cars performance is based on reality, Porsche needs to sell out and make vacuum cleaners, the car can't get out of it's own way). The Acura NSX is a bit gutless on twisting turns but great on straights (too bad there aren't alot of straight lines on the tracks). The car in the game that surprised me the most was the Viper, very solid and...American made. The Vette is so-so in the game, you never see it win. One car that saved my bacon on winning some races in the tournament mode is the Toyota Celica Supra....a real rice burner, buzzy, torquey and you can toss the nose around a bunch and the car is very forgiving. Since I can't afford a Ferrari or Lambo at the moment, the Supra would be a nice $250,000-less compromise. I do agree with the 300ZX (Twin Turbo) idea and maybe the 3000 (If they made it the Spyder and put the top down). I'm wondering where the Lotus is.... Regards, SC

With the old test drives, you'd have add-on disks for the cars and the tracks. I used to play test drive II on my IIgs, and I had do quite a lot of disk swapping anytime I used the addons. I'd imagine any upgrade for NFS will have you swapping CD's, or just copy some stuff to the hard disk. --------- Lon Seidman http://www.pcnet.com/~lon ---------- Public keyring available on my web page. -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- Version: 2.6 owHrZJjKxMqo/+RLZfZzU1YVx6K1jIzOr1kYGqJ3q5t3R/GIflK/sV41fY+1l/m5 bzX3XpjeUvX79bB336ublbkb8xWSmuMmsN16e2W9ldv7tc3BLD3HlujntUmu0ctm Ze862eh3T6p03qGX2ar6XqEdB700D3UHN3x/u219wvXg9NyeN+8r/GemF8zrXrbk u0LE4erkAl/XN5XJBQIH97KvaS+RSLbSz8wrSS3KSy3RL85Mz0ssKS3SK0hOZQAC XRjg5fLJz1MITs1MyU3M4+XKyc9zKEgG6tBLzs/l5SqGiDuUZiSWJVboZSQWlaTl F6XopaaU8nJllJQUWOnrl5eX68G16NcBTeDlghuvCwA= =RHly -----END PGP MESSAGE-----

That would be cool. I'd especially like to see a computerized remake of Connecticut's Route 9. Another great add-on would be the M3 BMW and the Audi A4, and something more down to earth like a Yugo..

> < snip > I'm pretty firmly of the opinion that all the cars have their place (well, except maybe the ZR-1, which I'm not overly fond of), depending entirely on what track you're running. There is also the angle of handicapping- if you're playing multiplayer against someone with a lot less experience, take the RX-7 or NSX and give him the Supra or even the 512TR. I'm a pretty big fan of the 512TR on faster courses like Rusty Springs or City, but when you get on a course like Alpine or Vertigo Ridge, a slightly slower car is simply easier to handle (not sure how this would apply if the game could do some sort of analog steering on the keyboard... my main gripe about this game is the "on/off" steering and throttle). Boy, talk about struggling to get out of it's own way... -LjM -- James | Social Engineer | 93 Kaw ZX-6E | means never having | E O E Mackey | BitterCynicalSOB | DoD #587 | to say "Thank you, | E U A v1.0 | Beer Snob | "Pinky" | drive through." | D R D

R&T does 5th-wheel tests on most of the cars they do comprehensive tests on in the first place, it doesn't seem like it'd be too tough to plug the values into the various places and... Of course, I'm not a programmer, so... Actually, it was a ZX-9R, but you were close... Yeah, I'd love to run a ZX-11 against the 512TR... Let me do the things I have the good sense not to do on the real roads on my wimpy little ZX-6... But of course, the computer would STILL come in right behind you. The computer adjusts to compensate for your own level of skill (or sucktitude, depending...). Ever seen an NSX hit a top speed of 162 MPH on Rusty Springs? Try a head-to-head against the computer with you in the 512TR and the computer in the NSX. I'm afraid we'd have to- probably kind of a limited appeal. If x people buy the game, only x-y people would buy the add-ons. Now, if x was a sufficiently high number... Depends entirely on how the game is coded. I assume it'd have to be patched to allow the game to read info from any car files that happen to be in the car directory. As it is, it's hard-coded to only look for the specific models. I'm not sure about a track editor. It's not as simple as a tile-based track system like Stunts (for example) used. The 3-d scenery would be a little bit hard to code for Joe User. I believe on the box or in a promo or something I read something about EA using SGI renderings for the track scenery. Too bad for the editor idea, but very cool for the game itself... The car editor, however, would be pretty cool. Just max out all the right values and min out the right values and... Though you'd also have to include code to handle front wheel drive... hm. -LjM -- James | Social Engineer | 93 Kaw ZX-6E | means never having | E O E Mackey | BitterCynicalSOB | DoD #587 | to say "Thank you, | E U A v1.0 | Beer Snob | "Pinky" | drive through." | D R D

Hey! Smile when you say that! Actually the real question is why didn't they use the 911 Turbo? Now that would be hot! And since they're including ***s, what about the 959? Also, I like the fact that the 911 is tail heavy -- sometimes you can slide around corners using oversteer.... I have to agree about the RX-7, though.... -- No fate but what we make

Yes indeed. How about a 916 or one of the Grand Prix 500 bikes. Scary! As for new tracks, how about the Isle of Man TT circuit. There certainly seems to be a lack of such two wheeled thrills in games. Maybe designers feel that not enough people ride bikes these days and so they wouldn't be interested in a game. I would certainly fork out for a motorcycle verion.:-) Graham. ***************************************************************************** * * * * From a brochure of a car rental firm in Tokyo. * Graham Davies * * * * * When passenger of foot heave in sight, tootle * * * the horn.

Nobody mentioned my favorite (not because of the performance necessarily), the Porche 928S. And how about the Dodge Stealth. For that matter, how about a disk every year with the '96 cars, or '97 cars, etc.

Hi there, I must be very dim. I have sat infront of my computer for an hour or 2 and still cant see anything in the credits! I have tried putting a few of the programmers names instead of mine. I have listened to voices ( that arent usually there (-: ). Hmm, is there a FAQ? Please give me a few more clues, I am going nuts... ;-{ My 20 cents worth for the cars: Plymouth Acclaim Plymouth Voyeger(sp?) I rented these cars while in the states. Ever done 100 mph in a van? SCARY! I would like to see some supercars in there. F50 would be good, an IMSA perhaps, or a 962 Porsche. A go kart would be kewl.... See ya's! Mike

When I play and drive by that light blue Honda CRX I wish I could jump out of whatever "supercar" I'm in and drive the Honda. At least in that I'm familiar with the dashboard and turning capabilities. But then again, I'd probably wind up with a CRX HF. Bleeeech! :) Claff

Nah, If they are gonna release more cars/tracks i'd love to see the following: 1) Mclaren F1 (PLEASE!) 2) Jaguar XJ220 3) Buggatti EB110 (i think thats it) 4) ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE (2xSupercharged V8 Please,Please) 5) Ferrari F40/F50 6) PORCHE 911 TURBO (1-60MPH = 3.7secs) 7) LOTUS ESPRIT S4S 8) FORD MUSTANG Saleen-351 Pace car :) Then they could add some new tracks, Some differn't weather, + Night time like the LOST VEGAS track. Add some road blocks and cop Bikes, add a Front Camera View, Enable the Joystick to be able to press forward/backward to change Up/Down gears instead of Button1/2 And this would be the Best GAME EVER made. Perhaps in 3/4 years when NFS2 comes out. or TEST DRIVE 4 :) Sly!
