| NFS C: Presented at the Games Convention? |
Thursday, 13.07.2006 |
 At the E3 in Los Angeles we only saw short teaser videos of Need for Speed Carbon, but at the Games Convention in Germany it should be different: Electronic Arts just submitted a playable demo of Need for Speed Carbon at the USK in Germany for rating (USK is like the ESRB). The submit carries the name Need for Speed Carbon (GC-Demo) and is for the platform Playstation 2.
 So the game will be presented the first time to the masses at the Games Convention in Germany. The Games Convention takes place from 24th to 27th August in Leipzig (Germany).

| NFS C: Emmanuelle Vaugier now official (Update) |
Tuesday, 11.07.2006 |
We already reported a multiple times but now Electronic Arts finally announced officially in a press release that the actress Emmanuelle Vaugier will star in Need for Speed Carbon:
 REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 11, 2006--Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS) announced today that actress Emmanuelle Vaugier will star in Need for Speed(TM) Carbon this fall. Developed by EA Black Box in Vancouver, British Columbia, Need for Speed Carbon delivers the next generation of adrenaline-filled street racing and challenges players to face the ultimate test of driving skill on treacherous canyon roads.
An emerging young Hollywood talent, Vaugier has a recurring role on the CBS hit sitcom Two and a Half Men. She has also recently starred in the films Saw 2 and 40 Days and 40 Nights, and was selected to Maxim's annual top 100 females list in May. In Need for Speed Carbon, Emmanuelle stars as Nikki, the ex-girlfriend of the hero who has returned to town to face his mysterious past.
 "Being able to work in a videogame for the first time and working with the Need For Speed Carbon team at EA has been a great experience for me. This is a game that evolves the racing genre, and I'm thrilled to be a part of it", Vaugier said. "Playing the role of Nikki allows me to take a completely fresh approach to acting and push the boundaries of the creative process."
David Footman, who has worked on such Hollywood blockbuster films as The Day After Tomorrow, X-Men, X-Men 3, iRobot, and Fantastic Four, was the director for the green screen video shoot with Vaugier. The full motion video shoot in Need for Speed Carbon processes live actors to look computer generated while maintaining their performances and facial expressions.
Update: EA additionally published the first pictures showing Vaugierin the game / movie. Click on the pictures to get it in a bigger size.

| NFS C: Informative Preview and new Videos (Update) |
Saturday, 08.07.2006 |
The online magazine Gamespot wrote the most informative preview of Need for Speed Carbon so far (well, two to be honest, one for consoles and one for PSP).
Gamespot reports detailed about the city, which should be bigger than in Need for Speed Most Wanted, the Crews, Drift Mode and much more.
They also have some new videos showing Canyon Racing!
Additionally they have some new information about the Autosculpt-System:
Another returning feature with a fresh twist is customization. This time out Carbon is poised to offer all the expected features seen in previous games, although the ability to tune your cars isn't quite as deep as that offered in Need for Speed Underground 2, there's a crazy new aspect to it. The big twist this year is "auto sculpting" a Fight Night-esque method of morphing the elements of your car in reality via sliders and the controller's analog sticks. Your wingmen's out-of-race abilities play a part here as if you have some that possesses the fabricator and mechanic abilities you'll be able to do more to your cars.
Take a look, they have loads of new information and material...have fun! :)
Update: Because of the low bandwidth of the Gamespot servers you can download or watch the 3 ingame videos and the 2 developer interviews also from our NFS Carbon movies-section .

| NFS C: Interview with Larry LaPierre |
Thursday, 06.07.2006 |
Larry LaPierre is the Executive Producer of Need for Speed Carbon and EA published an interview with him on the official Need for Speed website, where he talks about the story - which should continue the story of Need for Speed Most Wanted - as well as the city Palmont City and new features.
Most of it we already heard before - the whole interview is a bit superficial, but we can expect to get more information bit by bit the next weeks.
Community Team: Give us an overview of Need for Speed™ Carbon. What's the overall premise of the game?
Larry LaPierre: In NFS Carbon, our hero from Need for Speed™ Most Wanted returns back home to Palmont city only to find out things have changed. He has been framed for a race that went wrong, rival street racing gangs have taken over, and like any good conflict, it has to be settled on the streets in their cars.
A battle for control of the city takes on even greater danger when the races move out to the Canyons.
CT: How does NFS Carbon differentiate itself from NFS Most Wanted and the Need for Speed™ Underground titles?
LL: NFS Carbon takes the danger and illicitness of street racing and amps it up by introducing canyon racing.
CT: Location has had a huge impact in past NFS games. What can you say about the "world" in NFS Carbon?
LL: NFS carbon takes place in Palmont City. It is heavily influenced by a west coast/Sante Fe vibe mixed with a bit of over the top Vegas glitz, all nestled in the California hills. It's vibrant, colorful and alive.
CT: Drift racing makes its return in NFS Carbon. How is the racing mechanic and physics different than what was in NFS Underground 2?
LL: We are really excited to be bringing drift back, its so challenging and so much fun to snake your car smoothly through a set of turns. We also have a much better scoring mechanic this year.
CT: What can you tell us about the cars and customization in NFS Carbon?
LL: I love the car set this year - we have such a cool variety with Tuners, Muscle and Exotics. The feel of each is really unique and as far as customization goes we have a totally new way to trick out your car with Autosculpt™.
CT: Ah, Autosculpt. I can't wait until we can talk about that more. Switching gears, no pun intended, what will NFS Carbon have by way of race modes?
LL: A lot! NFS Carbon will have Circuit racing, Sprint racing, Speedtrap, and new modes Canyon Duel, Canyon Race, Drift, Canyon Drift, Time Trial and a few others we can tell you about at a later date.
CT: Lastly, what is the one thing that has you the most excited about NFS Carbon?
LL: One thing? If it was only one thing it would probably be the canyon duels - they are so intense. You are ripping through these canyons as fast as you can trying to keep up to the lead car.
The slightest mistake and buh-bye...over the edge...into a heap of metal and carbon fiber.
CT: Ouch!
