| NFS PS: Blueprint-Demo has launched! |
Wednesday, 17.10.2007 |
 As we reported earlier, EA Germany announced a  blueprint demo for Need for Speed ProStreet. Today the blueprint demo was published at Cokezero.de - a tool which allows you to tune 4 different cars and save your settings as blueprints. Once the game is released, you'll be able to apply these blueprints on the actual ingame cars!
First you choose your car, a Acura RSX, Audi TT 3.2 Quattro, Ford Focus ST or the Subaru Impreza WRX STI. Then you choose the Body-, Vinyl-Kits and rims and after that a race-mode, for which you want to tune your car. Then you come to a detailed menu, where you can buy tuning parts and customize your car.
Once you finished tuning, you can even generate a wallpaper of your customized car. Unfortunately the blueprint demo is only available in German at the moment, but we can expect an international version to be available soon. If you want try it out, but I honestly have to say it's just a nice tool, but nothing special and not going very deep... :/
Additionally Cokezero.de released a first cheatcode for Need for Speed ProStreet. With the code COKEZERO you can unlock a VW Coke Zero Golf GTI in the game - of course only once the game is released in the mid of November.
You can also download the Coke Zero Golf as a wallpaper.
Update:
The english version of the blueprint demo is now online. You can find it here:

| NFS PS: Online-Car-Designer is coming! |
Monday, 15.10.2007 |
 The demo of Need for Speed ProStreet won't be released until the end of October, but until then we get a new toy to play with: According to EA Germany you will find on October 17th, 2007 a NFS ProStreet Online-Car-Designer at the website of Coke Zero! With this Editor, you will be able to tune four different racing cars of Need for Speed ProStreet on your PC or notebook. I think we can expect a similar press release or newspost on the official NFS website soon, because this Online-Car-Designer will be international.
The "Online-Car-Designer" is in fact a Blueprint-demo, which allows you to tune your car just as you like it to see in the upcoming Need for Speed ProStreet. You will be able to save your customization as a blueprint and add it to your gamertag. Once the game is released (November 2007), you can immediately add your blueprints, you created with the blueprint-demo, to the cars in the game and start right away.
What are Blueprints?
NFS ProStreet offers numerous tuning possibilities of your cars and it is possible to save your tuning configuration as a so-called blueprint. You can share this blueprint with your friends, who can attach it to their cars and build in all the stuff you define. If they race good with this tuning configuration, the original author of the blueprint is also listed in the rankings, next to the car the gamer used. There will be even leaderboards only for blueprint-designers, to find out who makes the best blueprints.
You can find more information about that here
The blueprint-demo ("Online-Car-Designer) can be found under the following link from October 17th. Once we get more information about an international version, you'll get to know here.

With the official license of Need for Speed the trading card game contains original cars from all ever released Need for Speed games. The 148 base cards are available in the Starterdeck (for two players), Theme Decks and Booster-Packs.
According to Imagination Games the game will feature and exciting and innovative gameplay experience. At the beginning every player chooses his car from the car-pool. In the following races the gamer has to adjust his driving style to the track routing every round. Depending on the chosen gear, the player can advance a number of steps or do special actions, which in turn depends on the characteristics of the chosen car.
The so-called "Street Cards" define the tracks, so that no race looks like the other. Further "Racing Cards" can contain car-upgrades and random events. The player with the right strategy will cross the finish line at first and will be declared as the winner.
The Need for Speed-Trading Cards Game is available for two or more players and a real multiplayer-trading cards game.
More planned extensions with additional gameplay features, will bring more strategy, new cars and race cards into the game, you can trade with your friends.

So far the game can't be ordered at Amazon.com or Amazon.co.uk, but therefore at Amazon Germany. They deliver to most European countries though.
