Hey guys just a quick question,

Can you still drift a FWD car in NFS? I remember drifting a RSX and winning drift competitions back in the old NFS. Thought it was super hilarious cause it "drifted" better than any other rwd car..

s14_sr20_silvia · 10-03-2009, 04:23 PM

WTF you guys.. Okay I just got a XBOX 360 (yeah I know I'm a little late..but w/e).. I bought Forza 2 because I had Forza 1 on my original XBOX and it was the sh!t.. I've pre-ordered Forza 3 so I'm excited for that to come out blah blah blah...

now back to my 'WTF'.. half of you seem to hate this game more than life itself, but the other half of you say it's the best game EVER, so which is it?.. and everyone seems to give the same reasons for loving/hating it. Either you hate it b/c the physics are terrible or you love it b/c they are awesome... I'm just hella confused at this point. The general thought is that Dirt 2 is worth the money... but should I get this game or not??

Rogue240sx · 10-03-2009, 04:24 PM

The car has to have drift listed under it capabilities. I don't believe there is any fwd ones.

Rogue240sx · 10-03-2009, 04:29 PM

When in doubt rent it. IMO it has it's quirks but is still fun to play.

HyperTek · 10-03-2009, 04:34 PM

i say console version sucks.. i tried the ps3 demo and thought it was horrible... cant imagine playing it for hours with the game pad *i cant imagine the 360 version any better, still same experience with a gamepad in your hand*.. PC was better since theres more adjustments to the game you can make, esp if you rock a steering wheel with it , and theres mods out for the game to make it more realistic/better handling. I already deleted the pc version off my computer.

If you dont follow any real GT racing series or euro racing, you might be like "wow" glitz and glam bling they try to do with the game, otherwise im kinda turned off by the commentary and all that.

I downloaded the Supercar Challange beta for ps3, i like it alot more, but i know that game sadly wont even get looked at by alot of people since its too "difficult" for most gamers , no drift mods or music lol

Id buy Dirt 2, its not no sim either but from what i played in the demo, its great fun.

lok · 10-04-2009, 08:00 AM

The racing is terrible IMO. Very frustrating.

Here are some setting for drifting that I found out worked really well.

Under the "tuning mode"

Turn Steering reaction or whater all the way to "slowest"

Then "acceleration" to 25

Then the "oversteer" all the way to the left.

This will make the car undrivable on racing but it works great for drifting. You can really drift will the just the throttle to control the amount of angle like in real life.

BoostSlideWayz · 10-04-2009, 12:17 PM

Jeez i never understood all the bad reviews for this game. I play this game usualy once a day and i love it. I mean to me theres no games like it.. i like how all the cars have there own sounds instead of having like 3 diff sounds for all cars like other nfs. i like how all the gauges work, i like the sounds the car makes as u upgrade it. I mean its pretty realistic, i personally love games thats realistic so for me this is an awesome game.

The 2 things i don't like.. are that it doesn't have the supra, and it doesn't have the clutch so now shifting isn't that fun anymore.

sleep · 10-04-2009, 01:13 PM

the cars sound realistic? What are you smoking? The sounds are extremely exaggerated and there are only a few different engine sounds.

Have you beaten the game yet?

HyperTek · 10-04-2009, 02:51 PM

yeah you gotta expand to play better racing games *or sims*, than try to come back and play grid or shift and realize how shitty those games are

deolio · 10-04-2009, 03:07 PM

all the cars feel so unstable. gotta get stage 3 suspension, tires, and body kit. then put the caster angle all the way up, the downforce all the way up, the steering reaction all the way down, and the tire pressure 2/3 of the way down. i do like how you can sell parts and cars and make all your money back though. once you have around a million dollars you can just keep buying cars, building them, and selling them so you can build something new. fuck the game play though.

*s13 @ fullboost* · 10-04-2009, 03:11 PM

I had a very shitty experience with this game rented it on Sunday beat it on Thursday game was extremely homo I will gladly stick to the forza titles I so far own forza one and two and in a couple of weeks I will have three. =]

HyperTek · 10-05-2009, 11:15 AM

they are cracking out the mods for this game to make it better

i dont smoke.... and i think it does make realistic sounds.. like when u have all the interior in there its pretty quiet. then gut it, lsd, turbo, all the sounds combined make the ultimate game play. i personally just got it to tear 4 and now i just play online all day.. but i hate the fags that ram you off the track every time you slow down for a turn.

i dont get it it looks and sounds the exact same as ps3 version. i think the console version is fine. atleast PS3's version... when are they gonna make an add on for the supra ?

HyperTek · 10-05-2009, 02:20 PM

well they removed alot of the fictional billboards and adds that you wouldnt see around real race tracks like spa, and adjustments to the physics blah blah, esp on pc your more than likely playing with a steering wheel so you will notice it.

Every single car sounds the same at that point, and every single sound is extremely exxagerated....

If you think the sound is realistic, you must be smoking something.

i noticed a differance.. i mean the car it self in the game all have different sounds to me... like 240sx sounds different from the corolla, or subaru, or rx7 or porche etc.. all the car models have there own sounds... atleast thats what i noticed.. in most games i played when ever u gutted the interior or ( wieght reduction ) the car sounds the same... ohh and i noticed that the back fires sound wayy cool inside the car too. idk ive never owned a game thats so different.. like the inside view with all the guages working. and the sounds in the car and the handling i personally like it alot.

Sergio180sx · 10-05-2009, 07:44 PM

What happened to the best jdm racing game ever

You better love it....being a PS3 owner you have at minimum! another year before you even see GT5 playable. That's if it ever even comes out.

Buy a 360 and play forza 3, and you will see the real difference..

And holy shit i played the hell out of Tokyo Racer on the dreamcast. That game was awesome for its time!

HyperTek · 10-06-2009, 10:00 AM

new mod came out again for pc version to turn off the bloom effect

SimpleS14 · 10-06-2009, 10:58 AM

idk, after looking at that vid...I like the blur vision and the sound effects. I tired the demo on PS3.....i doubt I will get this game.

DrftSLowHomIe!! · 10-06-2009, 12:54 PM
