Need For Speed - Pro Street

[Harvik780]

I liked the gameplay but graphics are not quiet up to the mark.Their are low res textures even on the load screen.
I was playing at 720p with everything to high 4xAA and AF in game.

I have a config which is slightly better than the minimum recommended config, and the game is unplayable (runs at 4 - 5 fps on a P4 3.2 GHz, Radeon 9800 256 MB, 1 GB RAM).

I'm not going to bother playing this game I think...going to reinstall Most Wanted again...

What is special in NFS MW that all times u guys are taking abt it?

 

[QwertyManiac]

vaibhavtek - You'll know when the game starts itself, at the warning video

It IS THE BEST NFS released till date.... thats the specialty....

 

[hemant_mathur]

Just play NFS MW and you will know .. it's one of the best NFS till date.

Pro Street looks good .. damage is nice but the cars are not as responsive as MW (no response at all from light tapping). Also the FPS stays at around 22-25 .. droping to 17-18 sometimes making the game stutter. Am playing at 1440*900 at all high and 8x AA on Vista x64.

Can't go above 8x AA as it displays "Missing string" after 8x. Anyone else getting more than 8x AA option ?

The opening videos get slow when ESC key is presssed.

this is a demo guys, demos don't ship with all the bells and whistles..

 

[QwertyManiac]

Right, but let us whine, that's what we do.

Pressing the escape button lags the game during a cut-scene. It feels like as if the game activates the menu but then learns that its a cut scene and avoids showing it, lol.

will this game run in my config??

core 2 duo 4500

2gb ddr2 667 mhz

nvidia 6200 tc

320 gb sata hd??

edit:
just now installed the game...

and ran @ 640x480 resolution..

to say the truth the gfx is awesome at this setting itself..

but the gameplay..

guys i have to say it really is killingme and my keyboard..
yeah may be its due to thier hyper realistic physic.. whtever..

but after playing Mw or carbon , this games need more time to find a WAY to CONTROL THE CAR...

one hit on the electric post or on the side .. u r doomed.. u cant even steer the car properly .. which will ultimately lead to other crashes to follow..

but still going to try and spend spme time with it..
had a brea k .. so came her and shared My first opinion about the game..

but the GFX is awesome even at the minimum resolution..

At what settings are you playing the game and how many FPS are you getting?

 

[Harvik780]

Let me see how this game plays with a controller.

Edit : Played it with an Enter Dual Analog Vibration Controller with the drivers installed and guess what the car was more than easy to control in the speed challenge with racer difficulty.

 

[bikdel]

guys i also wanna try it out with a controller...

should i invest in a JOYPAD with FF... i mean will it be better for the game than the traditional keyboard?

i should get a cheapo joypad in around 500 bucks shouldnt i? i mean that may add a new dimension?

what ya say guys?

 

[faraaz]

@bikdel: Not really...instead of being crappy to play with a keyboard, it will be crappy to play with a joystick...that's all...

 

[s18000rpm]

obviously, for any racing game, game pad gives much better control & makes your life a bit easy

now-a-days GamePads (chinese) cost just 200 buks.

btw frm wat i cud gather (frm nfs forums), stay inside the road, dont even touch the gravel (off-road), the car loses traction & its hard to get the car back on road, especially with KeyBoard.

you guys are cursing so much for just this sub-sim NFS, try GTR2 & you'll say, "NFS PS Rocks"

 

[faraaz]

What's GTR2?? And s18000rpm, I'm a Colin McRae DiRT aficionado, having played and completed that game a lot of times...so I don't think its the sim nature of the game I don't like...except its the retarded implementation of these concepts in NFS PS, which were done so brilliantly in other franchises a long time ago.

 

[naveen_reloaded]

i set everything low and set at 640x480 res..

i dont know how many fps i get .. but i get decent frames.... no lag actually..

still the controls are really horrible.. i cant even turn the F^^^^^^ car...

hope this is not be a issue in the final release.

 

[s18000rpm]

What's GTR2??

its the big daddy of Simulation games. (KING is still F1-C)

*gtr-game.10tacle.com/index.php?id=246&L=1

GTR2
"Extending the ground-breaking physics engine found in GTR, GTR 2 takes the thrill of driving to new heights. GTR 2, which is the official simulation of the FIA GT championship, features more than 140 high detailed cars and 34 different track-layouts in a hyper realistic racing world with breathtaking real-world-like effects. With a revolutionary Driving School Mode, GTR 2 will teach everybody how to become a real race driver."

CMR DiRT is not a full sim. it lies between arcade & sims, jus like the NFS PS.

i havent tried PS yet, so i dunno much about its driving physics.

it'll take some time to adjust to this game, thats all.
