Need for Speed TV Show?


Shacknews reports that EA has signed a deal with with United Talent Agency, to help EA create movies and televisions shows based on their titles. They mentioned Army of Two, Need for Speed, Dead Space and Mirror's Edge as likely titles to get a movie or TV transition.

Read the whole article here.

Now imagine a movie where the main character has his car crashed right at the beginning of the movie and has to start all over with illegal street races to get back into the game and beat that incredibly annoying guy on the top.

GRiD - Night Racing MOD

So you want to race your favourite track in the middle of the night?
Well now you can.

Download: Nightracing.zip (288KB)
[ *www.mediafire.com/?0akh49gxmyq ]

In the above zip you will find two files from the LeMans track, namely daynight.xml & headlights.pssg.
The headlights file is unmodified & the daynight file has the timepoint clock settings advanced by 12 hours to turn day into night.

Simply place the two files into your desired track folder ie; if you want Jarama at night, place them in the folder named "Jarama", not the sub folders route_0, route_1 etc.
All variants of the track will be at night.

Note that this will not give you a 24 hour race, if you set the number of laps to the maximum & adjusted the timepoint clock just right you may be able to achieve a dawn or dusk transition.

Also note, my framerate dropped from low 40's to low 20's with this mod on Jarama & Donnington, changing resolution to boost it into the 30's gave a similar 20 FPS drop between day & night...allow for this.

This is a "rough n' ready" mod, I've spent no real time on it & have not tested it on all tracks I just wanted to see if it was possible.

I also have no desire to continue with this mod so if anyone wants to pick it up and mod it further PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DO SO.

GTR Evolution Nordschleife - Reality Check

Even though the Nürburgring Nordschleife in Simbin’s recently released GTR Evolution simulation is widely considered to be the best virtual recreation of the green hell the sim racing community, some ring-experts are still nitpicking about missing graffitis, not dark enough asphalt and other details.

To further fuel that discussion, Markus Möller has compiled a very interesting comparison video, combining an GTR Evolution on-board lap with footage of Hans Stuck taking the legendary BMW M3 GTR around the Nürbugring. Youtube version of the video, to check out all details of this interesting comparison you can find a high-resolution download link below the video.

track = awesomme

GTR-evo is more like Grid, tho Grid has better visual damages

=========
nice feature

When you flash your head-lights, the AI in front will either go faster or move out of your way.
The AI drivers will flash their headlights at you when they come up behind you...to let you know they are there and to tell you to speed up or get out of the way.

The game's executive producer said on their forum "I just want to stop you all from panicking too much. GRID and DiRT are aimed at an arcade audience and they do that very well. F1 has different requirements and will get a completely different treatment from our in-house team, including full on sim options, physics, rules and regs etc. We will also have arcade requirements catered for as well. How this will be split we do not know yet, but split it will be."
