Need For Speed: Carbon

[GT4_Rule]

Not bad. The Skyline does not look too modded which is 👍

Can't say the same about the RX-7 though. The camoflauge paint is

Edit: No need to double post. Just edit.

 

[godzilla_GTR]

didn't think i could post that many pics in 1 post, sorry

lol i was goin for the drifter look with the rotor but couldn't be stuffed with the decals

Got them from 'mad mikes' D1NZ S6 RX7

It sounds wicked, 470HP NA 20b rotor

Gotta love the plate 'fursty' lol so true

My stats...

Almost there.

Just noticed it compines your accounts for cars unlocked(ive got 2 games with %100 game completion = 76 cars unlocked)

Apparently, my friend got Carbon for PS2. She also said that the drift is nothing like the one in NFSU 2; its too jerky and sensitive. And I don't think this makes it realistic, either.

Yeah, takes a little getting used to the drifting on Carbon, think I prefered the drifting on Underground. Finished the story in career and bit disappointed. I expected more of a challenge from Darius, but I guess my Ford GT was just too much for him.

The best NFS series was, besides Porsche NFSMW. Driving when it's not dark and challeging police chases. That was my world. But these night races are not my favourites. If they would have made day and night it would have been ok but only night is boring

 

[godzilla_GTR]

if hot pursuit 2 had free roam...

 

[Sting]

ND4SPD games need to start including changing daytime/nighttime dynamics, it'd be better if you could race not only at day or night, but also dusk and dawn.

Like Midnight Club you mean

 

[GT4_Rule]

It wouldn't be wise to let the sky change during the race though. It would look as if they've racing for hours.

 

[godzilla_GTR]

finished the rewards cards, been through career 3 times(twice on one alias) finished all the challenges twice(on diff aliases) and still no trueno, MR2 etc! Some one needs to ring the helpline in the back of the book lol. All i need to do is finish all the quick races till everything is done and if they aren't unlocked then i might ring the help line and ask them(will be finished by tonight if all goes well).

 

[3-Wheel Drive]

Did they ever fix that little physics glitch that, upon sideswipe collision into a wall, would pivot your car nose-first into it, grinding your it to a halt at the worst possible times (I don't need a minor collision to cost me all of my momentum when I have 12+ state GTOs ready to form a solid, gapless wall with no possible exit around me). Cause that is the one thing that pisses me off in MW.

 

[Turbo Lag]

I just made this huge pile-up in a pursuit!! It had 3 cop cars,3 big trucks(the ones with logs on them),about 6 civilian cars and my Evo! I done this on the "main" highway bit.All the logs are kinda on-top of the some of the other cars and the other civ cars are kinda trying to nudge their way through all the 15 logs

Carbon sounds pretty good, i might get it for my birthday

You mean like High Stakes?? lol. And NFS3: HP had Snow and mountains and different times of year. God I miss the old days of NFS... Gonna hafta bust out $4 for another copy of those two games, they were my favs back in the PSx days.

Still haven't played Carbon darnit, too many financial problems to afford video games costing more than $10 right now lol.

BTW, how do you think Carbon compairs to The Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift game (ie: SRS 2 ) ?????

 

[Sting]

ok mind kill...... you mean you gotta do career more than once to unlock all the cars?

I love Tokyo Drift. I especially liked all of the detail as far as real aftermarket companies, real parts, and even real locations on the road signs. You'll spend a lot of time just messing around with different styling options for your cars. You can make cool sleepers, race wannabes, or even ricey dorkmobiles if you want.

Even better are your opponents, many of whom are figures in the tuning and drift industry. I about had a cow when I realized I could drift against a group called American Touge, made up of Tanner Foust, Alex Pheiffer, Steph Papadakis and Rhys Millen. Ken Nomura and Kazuya Bai make an appearance too. You can also freeway race with Kazuhiko "Smokey" Nagata from Top Secret.

The actual drifting is better than Carbon, too. You have different ways of initiating, and it's cool trying to figure out which method might work best for the situation you're in.
Now that I'm done with Carbon, I'll be going back to Tokyo Drift and GT4.

well, i got it, first time iv never got a nfs game on release day, have more important things taking up my time but i thought id give it a go eventually. the drifting part is a pain, i do like the autosculpt and being able to adjust the vinyls at last! and roof chops woo! if only it had a merc or a 32 ford to use it on

You can layer up to 20 vinyls! (in the PC version..)

 

[godzilla_GTR]

clocked it...No extra cars unlocked whatsoever, the only other thing i can think of is do the career with all three diff classes(muscle, tuner, exotic) on the same alias.

Wow, Rhys Millen??!?! He's like, my idol, dude!

 

[godzilla_GTR]

lol kiwis all the way

 

[ND4SPD]

Got the game yesterday and I'm about 98% done right now, I'm really liking the game, but the worst part is how short the story mode is. I love the matte paintjobs, so far all my cars have been flat black. The canyon duels are quite fun and the drifting is just so awkward. Anywho, what do you need to do to unlock the Murcielago LP640?

 

[Turbo Lag]

Does anyone know how to unlock the Shelby GT500 '07 AND I've unlocked the "Police Intercepetor" but can't seem to find it. Can anyone help???

 

[skaterava]

the reward cards are impossibly hard to get.

i mean, you cant get all of them. how can you fill your garage with muscle cars to get one reward card, then fill it with tuners to get another reward card, then fill it with exotics?

ive managed to get the police cruiser and the Fire Truck (which goes 216 MPH 👍 )

i think EA should have spent a bit more time working on the whole reward card setup....


i'll just go with whatever unlocks the LP640 Lambo then

 

[TopHat]

Or you could buy them all! Thats the easy way.

 

[Thiele]

i found this "Need For Speed Carbon: Collector's Edition" at the shops today, anyone got it or know what it is? $89AU

The collectors edition is the good version, to me anyways, cause it has the 240sx (my car) and a Zonda and a CC1.....hell, look back through the thread, there's several posts on previous pages about the collectors edition and all the PC stuff.

 

[sergey911]

is there any hacked codes for this game? or can any body hack it and unlock the corolla and mr2

 

[godzilla_GTR]

on the PC there is

I think that you can fill your garage with one type and acheive the reward for it, then sell those cars and fill the garage with another type. However, I don't see how you can keep from running out of money when you do this. Don't you only get half the car's value back when you sell a car?

That's part of why it's so frustrating to get a max of $750 to redo a race. You get more money if you wait for someone to drive up and challenge you, but that's still only $1000, if memory serves. You'd have to do dozens of races just to buy one car.

One way to cheat at it might be to just fill up your garage with copies of the cheapest car in each category, and don't bother modding them. Maybe the game will let you do that. Can someone try this? For Tuner cars, I think the cheapest would be the 240SX once you unlock it. I don't know about the other categories.

 

[godzilla_GTR]

yep that works you start with the brera then buy a 240sx and don't mod either of them. Keep winning races till you get the pinkslip to the RX7 from Kenji. Use the rx7 to clock the game, don't buy anything for it apart from maby nos. You will end up with about 1.25mil. sell of the brera and buy another couple of 240's (you already have 1 240 and an rx7). Sell all your cars and then fill it with camaros. Sell all the ss's and fill it with brera's. Sell all these and you shuold stil have over a mill(just). This will give you the three garage filling reward cards and the million dollar one, pobably the hardest three there is, other then the 50 instant challenges but there just time consuming not hard. Hope this helps someone out.
