John Doyle gives us the lowdown (more like basic info) on the upcoming Need for Speed Undercover. This had to be a quickie, since I had just 8 minutes left on my camcorder.

On the way home from school a kid told his friend how knowable he is about Need For Speed Game.
Kid 1: I know all the car specs in NFS.
Kid 2: Is that so? Alright then, let me ask you a question. How many wheels are they in the car?
Kid 1: Off course it the same with the real car, there are 4 wheels.
Kid 2: Nope. There are 8 wheels.
Kid 1: ???
Kid 2: Let me clarifies and you count it. How many wheels at the front?
Kid 1: 2
Kid 2: At the rear?
Kid 1: 2
Kid 2: At the left side?
Kid 1: 2
Kid 2: At the right side?
Kid 1: 2
Kid 2: All of them?
Kid 1: 8
Kid 2: There you go, your wheels.
Kid 1: .....

No es broma!, la proxima entrega de la conocida saga Need for Speed, Need for Speed Undercover, será lanzada al mercado el proximo 21 de Noviembre. El juego retomará caracteristicas del conocido Need for Speed Most Wanted, ya q volveremos a ver persecuciones, un modo de circulacion libre y muchas otras cosas q no vimos en la entrega anterior, Need for Speed Pro Street, q a mi opinion fue un desastre!.
Abajo les dejo un video y un link para q visiten la pagina principal del juego.

Enlace | Need for Speed Undercover

Toyota Supra ‘98
Ford Mustang GT ‘06
Mitsubishi Lancer EVOLUTION ‘06
BMW M6 ‘08
Porsche 911 Turbo ‘06
Audi R8 ‘08
Audi S5 ‘09
Nissan GT-R (R35) ‘07
Lexus IS-F ‘08

...можем да добавим:
Shelby GT500 '67 << класика!

Mazda RX-8 '06


BMW M3 '03

Pagani Zonda F '06

Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 '06

Само дето това което са дали като картинка, със сигурност е Lamborghini Gallardo, а не Murcielago.

Странно е, че EA продължават с практиката, да повтарят коли от предишният ъпдейт. В случая последната обявена кола е Audi S5, която обявиха при предишният ъпдейт. Не знам, може би с поставянето на грешни снимки, и повтарянето на колите искат да създадат илюзията за истински "битак". При всички случай идеята не ме радва много. Иначе, ако сте фенове можете да хвърлите око, върху поредният ъпдейт в градският вестник (клик).

PS: Предишните ъпдейти, относно колите в Need For Speed: Undercover са тук и тук.

Need for Speed Underground 2 is a great sequel to a great series. The graphics and audio are great with a free roaming city and more customizable things. The story in the game is kind of short and you have to find certain parts for your car at different stores throughout the city. Another thing is that parts of the city are blocked off until you get the parts. Overall though this game is very good and is a true sequel.

Pros:

+ Great Graphics and Audio

+ More Customizable Ability

+ An Open City

Cons:

- Story is kind of short

- Have to get certain parts at different stores

- Some parts are blocked off until you get the parts

Extras:

NfS:U is one of the best street racing games ever. They have stunning visuals, audio, gameplay, and controls. You can customize cars from engines to paint color and collect new cars by gaining more style points and money. There are also many different modes of gameplay.

Pros:

+ Very Slick Racer

+ Awesome Night Graphics

Cons:

- Only one environment

Extras:

NfS:HP 2 is a racing game with tons of different cars and you can also be the cop and chase street racers by calling helicopters, spikes, and road blocks. The graphics, sound, gameplay, and controlling are amazing but there are a few problems. There are long load times, 2 person multiplayer only, helicopters that drop bombs on you, and others.

Pros:

+ Running from the law is more fun than straight racing

+ Good selection of cars and tracks

+ Ability to "be the cop" adds a new dimension

+ Three difficulty levels

Cons:

- Helicopters that drop bombs on you? What's with that?

- In multiplayer, there is no way for one person to play the speeder and the other the cop; either you're both racers, or you're both cops. Lame

- Cops can catch up too quickly when they're starting from sitting still

- Only 2 person multiplayer

- Long load times

Need for Speed: Carbon is a good addition to the series. This game has all that you love in the NfS series and more. There is more solid FMV sequences, a ton of customization options, and a solid core gameplay that will have you driving for hours. However, there are frustration boss battles, no online components, and dull police chases. Overall though, if you like Need for Speed, definitely try this out.

Pros:

+ More solid FMV sequences

+ Loads of customization options

+ Solid core gameplay

Cons:

- Frustrating boss battles

- Underutilizes police chases

- No online component

Extras:

India: the last air-conditioned zone is the airport. Outside the airport what I will find from now on is just fans. The weather is overwhelmingly hot, it makes me relax and abandon myself to what happens around me. People are just like the weather; warm, friendly, passionate and very relaxed.

Around me, lots of colors!! The traditional clothing for women, the saaree, is made of 6 meters of multi-colored fabric and is a treat for the eyes.

People smile a lot and never say no.
When I need some information I have to ask twice, because Indians prefer to never give negative answers.

Fortunately, Indians have a very rich social life and are always well-informed and in contact with everything that happens around them.

There is a special nodding that looks a lot like "no" but it actually means "yes" ). :) They’re adorable when they do it, especially for allowing and approving.

Men show their friendship by holding hands. It comes naturally and has no sexual connotation whatsoever. Nonetheless, psychologically speaking both feminine and masculine roles are clearly distributed in the relation.

I try a hitch-hike but several rickshaws suddenly appear.

The rickshaw is a 3-wheeled vehicle, a curious mix of a carriage with a motorbike or bike and it has pedals also. It is used just like a taxi.

So I get in the rickshaw and the driver is very kind and friendly. He is even willing to give up the ride when he sees a taxi coming my way. Because the traffic is insane, crossing the street is a real adventure!

The rules on the road are the same like the British ones: they use the left side of streets and the steering wheel in on the right. They respect this rule sometimes. It seems to be the only traffic rule. There are no policemen in the streets, but their drivers are really good at it.

On my first trip on a bus the driver invites me to join him in front, to better see the road tricks and acrobatics. No, I’m not in one of those "Need for Speed" races or in a circus show. Is just that we barely milimetrically pass other cars, people and motorbikes…

Nonetheless, no accident occurs!

The toilet is oriental. There is no toilet paper, Indians prefer to wash themselves. As a matter of fact the majority of the planet’s inhabitants use this more healthy method. Because they use the left hand in the restroom it becomes a taboo once at table. They use the right hand for eating. The left hand is used only for taking a bottle or handling other utensils.

Още инфо за играта тук. ;)

Need for Speed Undercover é mais um título da série que ficou famosa no mundo inteiro pelo modo ousado de abordar corridas. Modelos esportivos de todos os tipos aparecem em todos os jogos da franquia. A maneira com que a Electronic Arts transformou sonhos automobilísticos de vários jogadores em realidade virtual fez com que milhares de fãs experimentassem alguns games NFS.

Undercover, por sua vez, enfatiza as perseguições policiais em um mundo atingido fortemente pelo crime internacional. Um sistema forte de missões e muitas opções de corrida fazem com que Undercover seja condecorado como um dos melhores jogos da série. Além disso, a Heroic Driving Engine e os demais modos de jogo tornam a experiência com Undercover algo praticamente inexplicável.

Além disso, há uma participação ilustre no jogo. Maggie Q, a protagonista de Duro de Matar 4.0 e Missão Impossível III, aparece de maneira fundamental para o desenrolar da trama. Os jogadores são guiados pela estonteante personagem, e com isso há a oportunidade de experimentar os visuais apavorantes e a ótima jogabilidade que Undercover oferece.
