Need For Speed Most Wanted Discussion

Well, that means the rumors were correct!! MW is indeed the next NFS game. The cops are returning and that should make the game more interesting. I always felt that you racing at high speeds in a city with no cops never made any sense. So EA are now getting smarter with MW.

Cool. Another NFS. Great. 8) Hope to some Ferraris and Lambos this time tough. :roll: And the cops returnin eh...Well I liked the tuning and customization, but till we speed freaks get a NFS dosage no probs
Anything will do Just release it.

A cross between Underground and Hot Pursuit ,eh? Bring it on! BTW when is it releasing

Great news, last time when i played NFS UG2, i wanted my own mp3's to be played when playing the game [ similar to GTA]...but that option was not there, i hope that option be available in NFS:MW..

it is coming for all platforms

i get bored by repeatative game play.
by the way what is "gameplay"?

gta is fine.

so its real after all gud goin..

Need for Speed Most Wanted delivers a unique, fast-paced and gripping ride in the racing genre as players build up their Rap Sheet and street cred to move their way up the Black List to become the most wanted racer on the streets.

Need for Speed Most Wanted Adds Intelligence to Police Pursuit
By Micheal Mullen

So there are two types of Need for Speed players that I’ve met. First, there are those that just love high-speed street racing in the fastest cars on the planet. And then there are those that love the thrill of being chased by the police.

Believe it or not, a lot of people love being chased. Whenever I mention that I work with the Need for Speed team, the first thing I hear is, “Please bring back pursuit mode.� For the uninitiated, pursuit mode was first introduced in Need for Speed Hot Pursuit and allowed racers a new adrenal boost as they not only fought to out-rev other racers, they had to dodge police pursuits, spike strips, and missile firing helicopters... standard police protocol for any high-speed pursuit.

Yesterday, those same players that have dogged me at any party can rejoice as EA has announced Need for Speed Most Wanted – complete with flashing blues in the rearview mirror.

This is not the same Pursuit Mode you’ve played again and again as you’ve waited for the popular gameplay mode to return. The development team has decided to evolve Pursuit Mode from the realm of bumbling cops trying to pull you over after you’ve smashed into a wall to modern police strategies that are used in real-life high-speed chases (the OJ chase is still an exception to any rule). They even hired chase experts to make it realistic. That means you’re going to have to upgrade your evasion skills too.

Due in November, Need for Speed Most Wanted is a departure from the street whips in Need for Speed Underground 2 but adds the latter game’s best features: open world and customization. From tuners, supercars, muscles and sports cars, you’ll be able to build the ride you’re looking for or the ride you’re just dying to have in real life.

New to the series will be the Blacklist, a list of the most wanted racers in the game. As you race through the game your Rap Sheet and street cred moves you up the illicit racing ladder to go head-to-head with other racers or test your skills against up to half a dozen cops looking to ask for your license and registration.

Need for Speed Most Wanted will deliver the fast-paced experience you desire on just about any console you have including a next generation console as well as the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Xbox® videogame system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube™, Nintendo DS™, Game Boy® Advance, PSP™ handheld entertainment system and PC.

We can’t say when in November Need for Speed Most Wanted will arrive but you might want to cancel any events in November just to free up your schedule... school, Thanksgiving, etc.

This means the cops aren't just back, they are back with some brains this time. But the thing I love is that they have included open world and customization features from NFSU2. This would make it a cross between NFSHP2 and NHSU2. This should make it a great game.
And Blacklist, a list of the most wanted racers in the game; should keep you busy in fighting out with the other WANTEDs
All in all. Its all worth the wait.

so the need for speed series is undergoing a major change with open world and customization.whats next?? nfs ala gta style.??

I hope NSMW plays on GFX 5750 with 256 MB in good quality. *members.shaw.ca/wenpigs/confused/busted.gif

I didn't go for Under Ground 2 as the demo was very jerky in my 5750. *members.shaw.ca/wenpigs/sad/crying.gif

lol dude.. i play nfs with all settings set to high( exceptl AA) on my rad 9200 128MB n i get decent frame rates..

Guys, you all were correct. The game is playable but you have to loose Road Reflection, Light Glow etc to get a decent FPS of around 35 for 1024x768.

Also previously I was trying these Nvidia 7x.xx series of drivers which made the game jerky. Now its ok.

But I am having difficultly in driving the NFS cars. Especially in Sliding at corners. Its damn difficult. But if you play the CMR the cornering is perfect and you can slide easily. (Just hit the hand brakes and slow down the car a little bit. Then Hit the brakes with hand brakes and release and hit the throttle while turning and you are out of corner. Just see the attached video and you will now.)

Also NFS is based on 2-wheel drive cars except for some. Where as CMR is based on 4-wheel drive cars. So driving the cars in CMR is more easy than the NFS ones.

Still I like NFS and have been playing them since NFS 2 to NFS 5. Then a brake, as NFS was getting darker and all the tracks were in almost night and also dark. Also I had a old sys rig and couldn't play NFS 5.

Now with the current system rig I am able to play the NFSU2. But still its not as smooth as CMR 3 or 4.

Take a look at this video capture I have taken in CMR 3. It's a self extracting Password Protected executable of 7 MB in size.
*rapidshare.de/files/1592881/CMR3Finland2.exe.html (Password: Finland )

Those with broad bands try and see the video.

I know its not an option to compare NFS or CMR. Since I play both of them I am comparing.

I hope this time we can also play in the day,
as racing in the night all the time gets kind of boring. (after some time)

yeah...night driving was fun in NFSU1...but NFSU2 sucked in that department....they should've added som day light and cops in it...anyway,NG might be worth the wait Till then keep playing SRS for some daylight

i never get tired of NFS

Sucks ass, if you ask me. They should've just killed NFS after HP2 bombed. Although UG 1&2 are great, they're really out of ideas, and this shows as they've come out with another pursuit game. And you've to know, like any other EA title, this one will be unfinished, complete with bugs as well. Yawn, what a waste of talent.

Hmmmm....Bugs? Unfinished? Out of ideas? Could you care to explicate further? EA makes more games than anybody else and the NFS series is one that makes them a lot of money. They wouldn't waste time and effort if they weren't earning anything off it. You say that HP2 bombed and that NFS should have been killed then. But then you say that Underground was good. If EA had killed the series, would you have gotten great games like Underground 1 and 2?

Out of ideas!!!
What are talking about mate! The customixation concept was great and a big hit. They are bringing back the pursuit mode back because it has been a long time since we had played pursuit game. And this time EA is having customization plus the pursuit conept together, I dont think they are out of ideas.

As such as I had great trouble (I suck at racing games) with NFSU and NFSU2, so adding cruisers, spike-strips and choppers in the mix is definitely out for me. Burnout 3/4: here I come!

Just waiting for it.By the way will it work on a system that ran nfsug2 smoothly.

Thread Merged

Carry on the discussion in the ongoing thread.

Hey sorry sorabh i searched and searched and could not find this topic .............someone please teah me how to use this forum's search engine i alwyas seem to be getting wrong or ir-relevant links to my searches.

6600gt pci-e(17"monitor):i play nfs u2 demo upto 1280*1024,all settings highest, maybe maxx af/aa from the game settings

i think i should be able to play with a resolution upto 1600x1200 on my go6800 nvidia ?? by the way wanted to ask something. In my graphics cards drivers i have installed all the setting (including af/aa) to be programme specific. Should i change that for better results??

NFS tuning tips

hey guys,
to tune yr nfs u2 car :
drift and streetx - zero topspeed and full accln. and full handling
circuit and sprint - balance of top speed and accln and handling 'cording to the tack or driver skill
drag - more topspeed
URL - Huh? tis the most easiest

My bank - 89,005

Well you could have done either of the two things:-
1. Robbed the bank
2. never tuned your car with frivilous accessories, like tinting, audio, neon etc
3. I havent played the game much and it is actually easy to reach that level of bank?!
Which one is it?

Hey - No way

I m in 5th stage and have saved my money by buying a carbon fiber wide bod kit and then done many hidden races (double cash). i started with a nissan 250x . u can reach it as its easy to save after 10 - stars (carbon fiber)

There is a new movie trailer for Need for Speed: Most Wanted, showing more of the upcoming street racing simulation sequel being developed at EA Canada. This introduction trailer outlines the game's premise in a bit under a minute of in-engine cutscene footage.

Download: 3dgamers

Is it this the one that shows a car revving up it's engine in a garage and then some footage of the car jumping over a police car barricade, damaging them and then spinning away to safety?

I believe that the cars will have individuval looking accessories and kits like in real life. That would be really realistic, unlike till now where all the cars mostly have the similar body kits and parts.

The release date is November 1 according to online retailers like EBGames and GameStop. It is supposed to be a launch title for the Xbox 360 when it comes out. Yes, they have given out some demos but remember that these demos are fairly old ones - made in July or August. They still have to work on graphics and gameplay before the final version. When they are ready with the final version, PC gamers will get a nice demo

HURRAY.....the release date released.......................its

Btw they even customized the look of the site of NFS MW surprise is that it has even audio[damn good....first take time to listen to it completely] in backgrnd actually which is considered to be illegal.

post ur reviews of the video n the site

I thought that the new website is excellent! The interface is pretty cool and they have revealed 7 of the cars that will be in the game. Yes, the audio was a bit of a surprise.

accord to a law for making sites u shud not make a audio play when a link is opened.........cos it can be dangerous for weakly hearted people n can give them a stroke.

Could you please link me to this law that you takling about? How can music on a site give someone a stroke?

i am not damn sure abt this law must have changed...........but i read it in a recent book abt how to make websites on xhtml.etc.etc. not any website..in the book they specified that u can't make a link which when clicked will directly play a audio without specifyin abt it on the link...................if the audio is too blasty or rock....then by mistake even the speakers are at full volume......then weak heartling may get a stroke.


BTW this is taking the discussion out of NFS:MW to NFS:MW[Need For Stroke:Most Weakest]

hmm, Quake 4 will be compleated in 2 days, next up is NFS-MW, bring it on,

can nfs most wanted runs on intel845 onboard graphics(64mb),256ram,xp pro?

I have posted a few screenshots and a couple of gameplay videos here - NFS:MW

Yes the demo is awesome!! The game is excellent and it's great that EA has gone back to the Hot Pursuit style of gameplay. The graphics are top notch and they seem to be quite scalable.

IGN.com gives NFS:MW 8.5/10

Damn ! It requires a new card to run smoothly ! Well, atleast I can run at 640X480 properly.

Yeah I read the IGN review a couple of days back. Interestingly, NFSU2 got a 9.1 - the highest rating for any NFS game on IGN. I think NFSU got a 9.0 and most others got less than 8.

hey someone please tell me can nfs most wanted runs on intel845 onboard graphics(64mb),256 ram,xp pro?

@roon294: no, 845 is not officially supported.. the guys with the newer generation of onboard chipsets like Intel 910/915, nvidia nforce2, Radeon Xpress 200 can njoy the game. To tell u, I played the demo and the game is AWESUM... u hv 2 get urself a decent graphix card 2 phay da game if ur mobo has a AGP slot.

situations. In extreme cases, running Need for Speed Most Wanted PC Demo with
a Direct3D device that is not officially supported can lead to an
unstable PC environment.

but nfs underground 1 and 2 runs on my pc and in most wanteds system requirements mentioned geforce 2,it may be chance of running game on intel845,most of games runs on my pc which mentioned geforce 2 .please someone tell me can game runs on intel845?

guys i have a P4 1.8 G Hz sys. wth 256 MB RAM

will this game run on my PC ???

@roon294:

the grafix of NFSUG/UG2 r nothing in front of NFSMW.. with tremendous high quality textures/reflections and as a matter of fact the HDR effects (i.e. the so-life-like-real-world-daylight that is seen in this game) gives the game its individuality as well as quality. yeah NFSUG used to run on 845 with so OK quality but UG2 ran at extremely poor quality.... I can't even think of the quality if at all it runs on an 845 !!!!! If the HDR (which makes my poor Geforce FX 5600 Ultra Card crawl at even low resolutions) is turned off, then the game looks total crappy...

@coolendra: Ur processor/RAM specs are OK but do u hv a gfx card?? what is the model of ur motherboard ?

@coolendra - Do u have gfx card. If no than i think that it will not run. Bcoz i tried nfs u on my pc it didn't work. Also tell us ur mobo model.

My config is 1.6 Ghz and 256 Mb Ram VIA chipset VT8751.

but my cards vram is 64 mb and geforce 2 mentioned in reqirements then geforce 2 mentioned all other games run on my pc!

Hi guys


Downloaded the demo of Most wanted right now . Played it in my system with 6200 . Even in the medium settings with anti aliasing turned on ( one level ) the game looks awesome , cant wait for its release .

yeah.. me too.. hardly can wait 4 its release.

I saw the trailer its awesome..

just less dan 12 more hours to wait!!!!

BTW @roon:it may just run and nothing else.....da grafix claimed by da NFS:MW developers team....is extremely unique....nd is da best grafix given 4 a car game till date.....its' almost 99% real....so to njoy da game atleast 30% u hav to hav a gud grafix card ......if u don't i will suggest don't buy it....it will be v.v.v.v.vv. boring....!!!

BYE!!!

-----MOJOJOJO------

CAN'T WAIT TO BUY THE GAME.....

Looks a really lot appealing game, a must buy for me...

I'm pretty sure no one around here knew this, but on the official NFS forums it was leaked that Most Wanted *will* feature free-roaming, much like in UG2. The only difference here will be that while you're racing, you can be brought under the cops' scanners, and can get busted, all in the middle of a race. The cops will also be on the lookout for you while you're cruising around in Rockport. You'll still have to take each challenge by driving upto it, just like in UG2, but this time you can save your game in one of many safehouses, just like in GTA. So, the offline mode looks absolutely fantastic, and as usual, EA's managed to screw up the online mode again. The chat box is too small, there's very little customization, and you've to stand in line to even get into a game. With the announcement that the NFS: UG servers are shutting down on Jan 16th 2006, EA's losing this online battle big time.

from the revies you can jump to the race anywhere and you dont have to drive to it.
Offline kinda always sucked with NFS series.

Hmm.. I called up Gamemasti, they said it will release here on the 25th of November. I hope they also release the Black Edition apart from the standard edition.

I'm willing to bet that this title is already at Palika, and that's where I'm gonna go to get it. Downloading 4CDs is'nt my idea of a good time, even with MTNL's broadband. And before anyone jumps at that "Reply" button, I know piracy is a crime, thank you very much. I will look for that DVD though.... behind the scenes stuff on Josie Maran seems nice..

Need For Speed: Most Wanted and EA's reckoning of rules...

Alright, by now everyone of you must've got your hands on the demo, and if you did'nt, what are you waiting for? Anyway, the full game won't come to India till 25th November, so I guess we're stuck with the demo. I've been glued to this one, and I'm pretty sure most of you in the "Challenges" section, must've played the 6-roadblock challenge. Now, with the Viper SRT-10 I've got 300+ KM/H, mowed down every tree and sign in Rockport, hit every police car in my way, but still I can't get that "Excessive Speed" & "Reckless Driving" infraction. Anyone have any idea how to go about getting those? The Viper won't go over 315 KM/H, and I've even got $500,000+ as the CTS and $700,000+ as the bounty. Any thoughts are welcome, and I'm really waiting for this title...

@domin8r: Don't start new threads for a game which is already in discussion. Use this thread for anything related to NFS: MW , thats why this thread has been named Discussions for the same.

I can enable AA option in NFS UG2, but in MW demo i can't see the option itself.

Well dunno about the Demo version but in the Full version Just head out to the Video Settings Options and Press '2'(For Advance Settings) and the second setting must be for the Full Screen Anti Aliasing(FSAA).

The Game is Undoubtedly the best in the series or for that matter the best in its Genre.The best part i liked about the game is its Sound.Mind blowing if you have an excellent Headphone or a 5.1 system.Graphics are top of the notch.HDR effects are too good.

wow, nfsmw rocks and would live on. much better than expected.

nfsmw works gr8 on my 845 celeron processor with fx5200.....although the eye candy is off, the graphics are really neat...and the nfs mw ps2 version which i played, the graphics really suck...i didnt even complete the first lap in ps2...dont know how this can happen.

this game is surely a keeper .. things looks awesome at 1280*1024,2x aa,maxed settings ....... and the speed-breaker thingy is awesome too ......

totally agree with Deathvirus Me..... this game is a real visual treat and at 1280x1024 with all maxed out settings and at 4X AA/16X AF...... LOOKS A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!!

These information are really easy to miss, as the nfs Most wanted inbuilt updater shows nothing

EA has released a new Patch, version 1.3, it's a 12 MB File, with mostly game bugs, I hardly noticed any performance difference, the info is not openly published anywhere, U can download it from here,just select the closest server, for me in DAP , the Yahoo games servers was really fast, i downloaded at 48 KBps

direct link

Note : NVIDIA has also released an update to their 81.95 WHQL driver, it's just an updated version of the old 81.95 WHQL released last month, with new game profiles added, no need to update if u are already using the 81.95

although i have been taking part in this discussion, but i m late in showcasing my ride, well, i didn't had any good,

I just beated Baron, Blacklist racer 10, & got his car, which was really fast, but after snapping my unique performance upgrades i collected throughout the game, I have made it as fast as a Lambhorgini Murcielago, & tuned with all the balanced performance tuning

Here are a few pics of my car, taken at 1024X768, 2XQ Anti-allising & 4X anistropic, although compressed by photoshop for low file size, let me know how is the car

One thing, the game provides very limited car customisations, I really Miss NFS - Underground 2

This is the second time this is happened. Whenever I get too intense with the cops, NFSMW gives some error and comes out. It's like the game can't handle it or something. This time, it was "Pure virtual function call" message box with retry,ignore and cancel buttons.

The game is a treat for the senses. I do miss the trillion-possible-combination customization of UG2, but I don't exactly miss the rating system that requires my ride to have certain body parts.
Regarding the screenshots, I believe there was a nother thread for it running in this section.

today watched the XBox 360 NFS MW review on GamerTV.
Owsome graphics guys. Almost real.

completed the game today.. its too good.. works fine on p4 2.4, 512 ddr, 128 geforce fx5200

Nothing can come real as close to this. Awesome graphics and sound.
Poora paisa vaasul !!!!1

i'm stuck at blacklist 2 !!! can't complete my milestone requirements !!!

I tried the game for the first time yesterday on a 5200. The game was looking pretty good.

But I think I ran into a bug quite early into the game. In the career mode, I was plonked straight into the first race, which I incidentlly lost by a narrow margin.

Now when I restarted the race, I lost again, but this time, the failure message didn't pop up. My rival stopped at the finish line, but I could continue to race ahead, till I drove right into the black area in the radar. I restrted the game again, but to no avail. Guess the game will have to be patched. I dont think the ReadMe file of the latest patch had a mention of any such bug.

nfsmw video review here too , take a look

*trailers.gametrailers.com/gt_vault/t_nfsmw_vr_gt.wmv

Another bug I almost always get is the where-did-the-cursor-go? bug.

where is the cursor bug?hah thats nothing!i always get the where`s-the-environment? bug all i can see is the car.and when i try to start any race the game crashes

Just started playing MW last week.The game is breathtaking.I cant believe
its this smoothly on my system(P4 1.5,256MB SD Ram,Radeon 9550)
I'm playing at 1024*786 at most of the settings set to High except for
AA which is completely off and some other settings set to medium
Any ways planning on changing my rig to a Athlon64 with a 6800 GS.
That should be interesting

I saw the NFS MW screensots and actual game vids and the XBOX version is far better than the PC version (Graphical wise) i founf NFS MW PC version is more or less like NFS UG1&2 not much of a diffrence graphical wise

I am feeling very sad at the moment

@cryptid: I hope you mean the Xbox 360 version because the Xbox version doesn't compare with the PC version running on a high-end computer. Some of the advanced effects are not possible on the older Xbox. If you are talking about the 360 version, then yes, it is probably the best of the lot. Besides, it is unfair to say that NFSMW looks similar to NFSU and NFSU2 - trust me, this version is a LOT better especially if you have a system good enough to run it at max settings.

Awesome Game

simply breathtaking.........

just try before u buy man...................

Ok one question to for all those playing NFSMW full version.....have any of you come across racing at night? cos i havent come across it. it would be more fun if we had night racing too right?

No night racing this time. It's just evening-time races with changing sunshine and rain. I Agree night-driving was cool but we got it for 2 games straight. Of course, it would have been cool if we had day/night changing conditions but whatever.

Got My DVD 3 days back.Its Awesome , Really a " Must HAVE list".

Re: Origin Game Install Issue

Guys, is there any online store on the internet that has a Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005: Black Edition? Apparently, the Black edition has some extra cars, but again, its "Out of Stock" at most places I searched.

I can get the normal NFS: MW anytime, but can anyone tell me a store which has the Black edition ready? Otherwise, I'll get a normal MW DVD only...

I saw one of these links earlier too, while googling.

But, in both places, it is out of stock. Will have to get the normal edition only it seems. Will get the normal edition now.


EDIT: I ordered the normal edition DVD via Flipkart, alongwith a 16 GB Strontinum Pen drive of USB 3.0 standard. It should come in 1-3 more days.
