| NFS PS: First news about Drift and onlinemode! |
Thursday, 06.09.2007 |
 The onlinemagazine IGN could test the drift- and dragmode of Need for Speed ProStreet and wrote their impressions in an article, which is available on their website.
Especially because there were no information about drift at all before, this paragraph might be interesting
Excerpt:
Drifting has also returned, though its differences are found underneath the hood. The development team started from scratch with the game's physics engine so drifting feels a fair bit different than what we saw in Carbon. Cars feel much heavier and more powerful, giving you better feedback while also not feeling like they're sliding around on ice. Scoring is still on a speed vs. angle basis rather than the types of drift maneuvers you perform, though you do get bonuses if you begin a drift with nitrous or can manage to put a long string together.
To help newcomers with drifting, there will be multiple levels of assists for these race types. On the most basic level, all you need to do is steer and play with the gas while drifting. Correctional assists will keep your car from spinning out too much, though also limit how far sideways you can push your car. When you start taking these assists away, you'll be able to play with the clutch for more maneuverability and be able to get your car sliding at insane angles, though this'll obviously take much more skill behind the wheel.
Additionally there is new information about the onlinemode in Need for Speed ProStreet:
Another cool element that we learned about today relates to the online play. You can set up a series of events for your friends to compete in, though they needn't play at the same time. Up to seven events can be queued, like two drift events and a couple standard races or what have you, and then after you save and upload the entire event others can go in and play them at will. The leaderboard for your event will be updated in realtime, so if you're in the game you'll get notified if someone bests your score as it happens. EA is planning on hosting their own events, with the hopes that prizes and such will be given out for the best racers.
It's not sure, whether this event series can be really used for a tournament system, but if so, every player can create their own tournaments or rankings without needing an external league system. This could have an impact on the e-sports scene, but we need to know more about that.
We can expect more news about the onlinemode within the next weeks, so stay tuned.
