Anyone played NFS: ProStreet?

Anyone played NFS: ProStreet?

I prefer sims over the older NFS games, for realism - but, I've heard this new one has the latest M3 and the Willow Springs track, both of which I've never seen in a game.

What's your impression?

I don't have the game, but...

It has tunable cams? That's a first for a console game I think. They adjust the overlap and duration of cylinder intake and exhaust. Tuning them could give you more power at some RPMs and less at others. If the game has a dyno chart feature, you could I'd say try several settings, some of them at the extremes and see what works out best.

For boost, in a game, it probably let's you increase maximum boost and power at the high end, trading off responsiveness at the low end.

Anyway, if you've played it, how life-like do the tracks look and the cars feel?

Alright, just played the demo. As if it read my mind, it allows you to use 2 of the vehicles from the game: the GTR and the M3. They both handled far too similarly if you ask me, and the handling and feeling of the cars is super floaty in comparison to games like Forza 2 and PGR3/4.

It's sill fun though. My favorite part is actually the shift mechanics. Left bumper is clutch, up/down on right joystick is shift up/down.

I've got the game, I've read all the negative reviews out there...and I still think it's great. The handling is shit until you get into modding the vehicles...then the handling comes to life.

My Ford GT handles like none other!

the new m3 oversteers like crazy

cars feel alright, (i have a feedback steeringwheel that i never used from momo) lol

tracks are good too although there are few.

i got the new pagani zonda which is 741k and iono how to take full advantage of the car since you can mod, engine, drivetrain, suspension and brakes

It's coming out for the 360 too, so it doesn't count. Pretty much all games that were PS3 exclusives were bought out by MS. Only thing it has is GT5, MGS4 (which isn't even an 'official' PS3 exclusive), Killzone 2, and maybe one or two other hardly noteworthy titles.

Even that Devil May Cry game was bought out...and Resident Evil. Damn, Sony got screwed this time around.

I just got this game man. I LOVE It. but then im a big fan of NFS since 1996 or so.

This is the most realistic so far, i only raced Drag, and time attack.
The way you dump the clutch, the way you shift, and all is awesome dude....

lol, I actually just rented the game and think it sucks . I have a crazy modded RX8, dropped and all that, and the game still handles like shit. I can push right and maybe two seconds later the game'll respond.

The drag races are the only fun thing imo. Also, the menu gives me a headache like:
"YOU'VE UNLOCKED THIS THING" *Initiate a neverending barrage of random black shit that flies at your face*

So yeah, I think it sucks compared to PGR4, and ESPECIALLY Forza2. Nothing compares to Forza2 imo except for GT5.

NFS: ProStreet? - cool game. I almost finished it. Play it on PC. Lucky i just got the 8800GT gfx. It will be a challange for your pc with everything on high.
Its a ruff game, a bit easy when you learn how to win the tracks
US cars are ¤%&#&%/ to handle. Heavy.
Total nice gfx - eye candy.
