No probs!

It's just a common misconception that makes me chuckle when ppl always say that. No offence or ne thing of course! :wink:

True. The game is pretty nice grahpically the way it is. I just downloaded the demo to give it a try. It harsh reminds me of The Fast and the Furious.

Dude the Screen are like WOOOOOOO FUCKING AWESOME!

by **Filip** on Tue Nov 25, 2003 6:56 pm

Will try to get the game this week from a friend. Can't afford to buy it, and don't have the time to wait.

IGN wrote:no replays

WTF! I love to watch the replays in a car game. NFS:HP2 had a replay mode but it sucked quite much, anyway how the hell can they dismiss something important like that :?:

IGN wrote:We're sorely missing 60 frames per second

Sounds like it need a hell of a machine I don't have any money to upgrade my PC. Just hope that it runs more smoothly than GTA 3 (Shit programmers)

BTW: I just heard that soundtrack included hiphip music, that's reall nice, about time the car games remove all that techno shit (which was okay but not good)

if u've got a 2ghz comp and a good graphics card, this game will run smooth.

by **Filip** on Sat Nov 29, 2003 12:25 am

Well I got 2ghz, but my graphic card kinda sucks, it's 1year old and when I bought it, it wasen't especially goood.
It's named GeForce 4, MX 440 (64mb) I want to play on 800*600*16bit

by **Jowe** on Sat Nov 29, 2003 8:46 am

that should be fine at those settings

by **Filip** on Sun Nov 30, 2003 3:08 am

I love that speed effect, looks great.
How does "NOS" work in the game, can you use when ever you want, and how long does it last, how's the handling etc.

by **Jackal** on Sun Nov 30, 2003 11:54 am

NOS was added to NFS: High Stakes too, although you didnt get a meter and all, but the patchers (car-makers) made new Carp files where they changed some of the gear numbers, and reprogrammed the honk button. All you had to do in a race was press the honk button and you would get a kickass boost out of your car. This did make turning and all a little harder if you're in such a high speed, but it had it's advantages, specially if you're running from the cops.

There was this one guy who made a modified track (the arizona looking one) and made it one big stretch of sand and road. He removed all the objects so you couldnt crash, sort of like a test course, that was some fun. I remember, once I ran the Speed-o-meter upto 6000+ MPH...sure unrealistic, but seeing everything swish by and see your screen was naussicously amazing. :lol:

Enough reminiscing I guess. :oops:

by **Jowe** on Sun Nov 30, 2003 3:31 pm

Yeh the motion blur looks cool, but its a bitch when you are trying to avoid hitting into traffic, so yeh, i turn it off..
also in those screens for some reason u don't see the flames coming out of the exhaust

hehe which is the my fav visual thing..

but yeh, i've been stuck on race 103/111 for like 3days now..
always end up hitting the pillar on the final lap of a 7 lap race..

I've got a skyline in the game

by **Boyk** on Sun Nov 30, 2003 6:28 pm

yer ive just brought it, great game imo.
Racing with a Honda Civic at the moment, doesnt go too badly.
done it up a bit. and have made 2 covers

by **Jowe** on Sun Nov 30, 2003 10:57 pm

ok i just finished the game today

its pretty cool at the end, u get a body kit for the car

by **Tony** on Sun Nov 30, 2003 11:47 pm

you should post a pic of your ride Jowe

here's mine (and from the rear)
VW Golf is the car of choice here in Sarajevo

Prolly gonna look better when it's fully geared...

by **Filip** on Mon Dec 01, 2003 2:09 am

Damn, how can you choose a VW Golf, that's the last one I would pick.
Cool screens though
I'll take the Nissan or Toyota Supra :cool:

by **Tony** on Mon Dec 01, 2003 9:52 am

ofcourse, i chose it for the sole reason that it's an unpopular choice, but i passed my drivers exam on that car, and i took it just to see what kind of monster this game can make out of it

updated, after playing it for a while tonight... frontal (and from the rear)

by **Filip** on Mon Dec 01, 2003 7:50 pm

Oh, I understand, it's a sentimental reason. Well I've change my mind
now, i'll take the Eclipse (spl?). I forgott that it was in the game last time I wrote. Anywat the Eclipse and Supra looks best of all the cars.

BTW: I know there are 20cars, can you write down everyone please.

If I'm lucky I'll get the game today, in about 7 hours.

by **Filip** on Tue Dec 02, 2003 4:11 am

Damn! My idiot friend didn't fixed the game to me today either!, he failed for the forth fucking time in a row (!!) Unf!ckingbelievable! Anyway, I'm getting the game (MAYBE) tomorrow from another person that I only knew via ICQ.
This time it costs about 8$ but it worth it, cuz then I can tell my fake-ass-friend that I have it, and he can not borrow it cause he is a jerk
:twisted:

by **Filip** on Tue Dec 02, 2003 4:12 am

Your computer speed?
BTW: You message was a pain in the ass to read!

by **Filip** on Wed Dec 03, 2003 5:48 am

Fixed the game today by another dude (that I only knew through ICQ and never
meet in real-life). Anyway I like the game much, it took about 10-15 minuts to get
the graphic right (I'm going with 1024*768, BTW: Where is the *32 or *16 option??)
Will post a pic of my ride soon.
But I gotta a question. The screnns dosen't get blurry (spl) when I drive fast, not even
at the drag racing mode? Where can I activate this effect?
Just another question when you updates some things on the cars there are like 3 or 4
different packages, what the different between (well it says different names, like Jackson etc.)
, I never know which one to pick

by **Tony** on Wed Dec 03, 2003 7:01 am

there's a customize graphics card option... or something like that, you need to turn on "motion blur".

as for the packages... i just pick ones by the name i like most, i think all are the same...

by **Filip** on Wed Dec 03, 2003 8:43 pm

Ok, here are some screnns of my ride:

Yeah I found it but I can't turn it on! l

Look, I can't configure it

by **Tony** on Thu Dec 04, 2003 4:31 am

your graphics card probably doesn't support it then (N)
