Need for Speed: Undercover Coming

EA's seminal racing franchise gets yet another new name, and likely a change in focus.

June 18, 2008 - To no one's surprise, EA is set to release the next installment in the Need for Speed franchise later this year in the form of Need for Speed: Undercover. In an interview with gamesindustry.biz, Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello said that the title is in development from one of EA Vancouver's two NFS teams. He also hinted that its inspiration comes from movies like The Transporter, though we'll have to wait and see what he means by that.

The single previous Need for Speed team was split into two last year to allow each of the two teams more time to create yearly updates for the franchise. Rather than giving one team only 12 months to create the next installment, each team would now have a full two years, with the teams trading release years, obviously. Being that the team was only split last year, the Undercover team will only have a little over 16 months to create the title, but the extra breathing room must certainly welcome in any case.

In the interview, Riccitiello also discussed his disappointment with last year's Need for Speed ProStreet, and said that the reason for splitting the team into to two was to help insure that future titles would actually be a worthy experience.

No consoles were specified for Undercover, but given the franchise's history, we'd expect to see it hit every major system.

Release Date - Late 2008 (i.e Nov.)

freakin awesome newz man !!!!! My only wish is that may it not suck as hard like ProStreet, the worst racing game I ever played. Meanwhile GRID is rocking....

huh. I lost hope on NFS series after Carbon and Prostreet. I really really need police chases like the one's in NFS:MW.

The only thing that can keep NFS alive is "Hot pursuit"

The further they go the suckier it gets. NFS is doomed . want to play a good game , play grid.

if they manage to bring the same essence as MW , this wud be awesome..

n since they say its inspired by The Transporter,i think they're gonna pull off a gr8 game....maybe we get to be an undercover cop who is among the street racers...something like Fast n the furious??

thanks third eye

damage like grid wud be awesome :))

, imagine driving in traffic wit damge like tat.

Expounding on how modeling a game after a low-rent film could ever be considered a good idea, Riccitiello said, "We resurrected the game when we brought out Most Wanted and then Undergound--the sort of chase and be chased, and the whole underground ethos of street racing at 3:00 in the morning...Now we're coming back with a strong narrative hook, and I feel really good about the title."

*www.gamespot.com/news/6192711.html

in gta4, we can call for back-up in vigilante mission, how cool wud it be, if we chase a noob & call for road blocks... (nfs hp2 like)

after the disappointment that Pro Street was, and after playing some awesome games like Grid, i no longer look fwd to it

K

Honestly I feel that Mw when it came out was slightly original. EA tried to copy it in carbon which bombed cuz it was a really bad imitation. Then they tried the opposite end of the spectrum with pro street which REALLy bombed. I think they need to come up with a new concept, and pack in a gameplay worthy of that concept.

Thats great news! I hope this one would be a lot better than NFS PS.
Something like NFS MW and graphics thats there in Grid and a good story would be awesome.

after how much NFS

S sucked, im not even excited abt hearing this news + also im hooked to GriD..

although i will bring the NFS game hoping it will be better than NFS

S...anyway until then i wud have completed grid.

the best thing abt nfs series is cop chases...no other game in the world ever has better car chases.

We don't even know if the cop chases will be there.. If its there, it should be better than the previous ones..

Release Date ?

I hope to see Cross again, he was teh bad a$$.

And Josie will u be there too?

Is it too much to ask for ?

loved Josie back in mw man...

^^ totally

Cool... Dis one betta be gud or it'll be hattrick of games tat sucked in NFS series...

Thnx Third Eye For The Awesome News ... Just Praying that this one ain't bad like the PS and Carbon ! And Of Course , want Josie Maran Back !

But , Nov. 2009 is a real put-off !

Its coming in Nov 2008. NFS series games are released every year since HP2 i think.

^Oops my bad. I checked the wikipedia and it says 'Late 2008'
I didn't know that they are working on it since mid-summer 2007. I wonder why they haven't given any screenshots or videos yet.

ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh........ they're keeping us in suspense

maybe they'll come out with naked chiks running around cars n all

lol!!!!!

you should search for better alternative

As we already reported, the new NFS will carry the name Need for Speed: Undercover. Our affiliate NFSGame.net received a flyer of the upcoming E3 expo, with some rumours of NFS Undercover. Although the picture looks quite official, the information can be doubted, since it sounds more like a mixup of Burnout and GTA than Need for Speed:

- 13 car brands and 3 motor brands
- new prize system of getting cars (non-buy)
- detailed non-switched off damage model
- fully arcade physics engine
- 3D smoke technology
- improved graphics engine
- Undercover-Mode offering to carry out time-trial missions with ability to use weapon
- possibility to improving the hero (increase health points, reaction etc)
- night street racing cups
- racing stadium allowing to show improbable tricks in air and get points
- available on Xbox360, PS3, PS2, Wii, PSP and DS

Sounds weird? It is. Weapons in Need for Speed? Stunts in a stadium? Heros? Motorcycles? Ok, Motorcycles sound a little bit plausible, but the rest seems to be very fictional. Even the grammar in this flyer doesn't look very official, so don't take it at face value. An official announcement from Electronic Arts is still missing, but we will keep you informed.

Update:
As presumed, we got confirmation that this flyer is definitely a fake. For more information about the game we will have to wait for the official announcement from EA.

a strong story line will keep any one playing whether its good at graphics or anyother specialtiy it got...

NFS Undercover for iPhone!

There wasn't much news about the latest NFS title: Need for Speed Undercover, but at the EA press converence at the E3 in Los Angeles the game silently slipped in. The game hasn't been announced as you might expected, because NFS Undercover still can't be found in EA's E3 line-up. During EA's presentation of new games for the iPhone they noted the 3D-capabilities and announced among others Need for Speed Undercover for this innovative gaming platform "iPhone"!

*www.nfsplanet.com/images/nfsuc/news/iphone.jpg

Unfortunately there is no information at all, how the game will look like on the iPhone, not to mention when it will be release, but to bring the genre "racing" to the iPhone could be quite interesting..

Under the following link you can find an excerpt of the EA press conference at the E3. At minute 8:25 and 9:10 you should take a closer look.

no need for those tags, we know ho hollywood works. at least a dozen movies in a year hav such settings.

but, in NFS MW, EA didnt reveal such "spolier" detail

, thats why NFS MW was a instant hit, you never knew whether you were a cop or street racer , until the end of the game

^^naah I was after my M3 and more interested in blacklist (would've been better if there were full 10 minute background video about each blacklist). No second thoughts entered my mind.

Last escape sequence, the bridge, the mighty jump at 10kmp/h was another awesome thing

But good to see MW2 in making, I really need it to be good or another series dies in my closet

NFS Undercover Developer Interview

Worthplaying has posted an interview with NFS Undercover producer Scott Nielsen, here is a quote:

Quote:
WP: Why take Need for Speed away from its roots? A lot of people think of Need for Speed as a pure racing game, and with Undercover, you guys have really expanded it. Is there any fear that you're going to alienate the hardcore fans of the franchise?

SN: I don't think so at all. Actually, what we do is build entertainment, and part of building that entertainment is coming up with different ideas every year. I think, in terms of the space that we sit in, we really like to think that we're an action game. So we're not a simulation-based game, we're not an arcade-based game like Mario Kart. You can almost trace the roots [of Undercover] back to what we started doing in the Hot Pursuit days, leading into Undercover, looking at how we can tell compelling stories, weave that in with compelling gameplay, and have the two come together. That's really the space that we sit in, you know, the heritage and the roots of Need for Speed really don't lie too far from where we're going with Undercover. We build big, open-world action driving experiences, so leaning into the past of our franchise, this kind of represents a best of breed from the past, and we're really excited about what we have with Undercover.

NFSUnlimited.net

Fast & The Furious, I like it. I just hope that they don't have outrageous system specs. The stupid interviewer didn't ask about the system specs.

WP: Let's talk about new features. What are you introducing in Undercover that we haven't seen in previous games in the Need for Speed franchise?

Need for Speed Undercover is all about the chase, chasing, and being chased, and that really represents the essence of how we built this game out. That element or concept of the chase really comes to life in three different ways, three pillars, if you will: the Heroic driving engine, highway battles, and our undercover arc.

In terms of the Heroic driving engine, what that refers to is, we've got over 430 different levers that we can play around with to really give you the ultimate control over the car and the game. When you see people doing things in Hollywood films in cars, things that are just impossible for you to do in everyday life, that is what we want to recreate in the game. We want everybody to feel like a hero, and we finally sort of have the engine that allows us to do that. That engine also extends to the damage system, it extends to the intelligence in the game, how you interact with the cops, how the AI is racing against you, a lot of great stuff. All of that comes together to really perform and sort of make you feel like a hero.

Highway battles really represent innovation on the gameplay side. These are very, very intense, really raw, emotional — it's a really thrilling gameplay experience. You had a chance to hurl yourself really fast down a highway at 150 miles an hour, weaving in and out of cars. It's an experience that you really have to play to really get the feeling of.

Maggieq Interview with wired.com
*blog.wired.com/games/images/2008/08/15/maggieq.jpg

SAN FRANCISCO -- Maggie Q doesn't play videogames much, but she does star in one.

The actress' filmography includes supporting roles in Mission: Impossible III and Live Free or Die Hard, but she'll add a different medium to her resume when Electronic Arts releases its racing game Need for Speed Undercover this fall. In the racing game, Q plays Chase Linh, a federal agent who guides the title's main character.

Creating the game was a challenging experience, she says, not unlike doing green-screen work for a big-budget movie. She talked with Wired.com about acting in videogames, playing a puppet master and making the jump from old-school pinball to PlayStation 3.

Wired.com: So, do you play videogames?

Maggie Q: I do now.

Wired.com: You do now.

Q: I mean, I did when I was a kid, and then I sort of had to, you know ... go to school, and work, and be responsible, and didn't have the time ...

Wired.com: Oh, I don't know. I went to school and I played videogames.

Q: Really? Well, see, you're more responsible than I am. If I played videogames I wouldn't have been responsible. Do you see what I mean? You're a better person than I am, is what I'm trying to say.

Wired.com: Well, clearly. I'm very self-motivated.

Q: I would have gotten so obsessed with it. I would have given up everything. But I come from the old-school, Atari, Pac-Man, pinball days. So I went from that to this, which is a big jump. It's blowing my mind.

Wired.com: Is there anything about Need for Speed that's exciting you?

Q: Well, first of all, I love racing games, period. They're my favorite, they've always been my favorite. Being in an arcade, and actually being in a car, and racing in a booth, that's my experience. So the whole (controller) thing, and doing that now, that's totally new to me. But these worlds that they create are so real, and so unbelievably fun, and there are so many obstacles and it's just so layered. Before it used to be, you're racing around a track, you're racing against someone, and the point is not to bump someone. And now the point is to not get caught by the cops, and to not damage your car, not to ... you know what I mean? It's incredible.

Wired.com: What's your role in the game?

Q: I play federal agent Chase Linh, and she's the puppet master in this. She's the player's guide through this whole experience. She'll give you what you need to get where you need to go, and if you listen to her, you're going to have quite an experience.

Wired.com: What was the most challenging thing about doing this game?

Q: Unlike a movie, when you're shooting something like this you're definitely taking a piece in a world and you're integrating it into another world. So because I didn't design the game, I don't know this world, and that's not my thing.... When you have a movie script, you know from A to Z where it's going. With this, we kind of had to really sit down and be very specific about where we are in the game, and what our motivation is, and what we're trying to say, and where we're trying to bring the player. It's very, very technical, so in that sense it is very difficult.

Wired.com: When you're actually in there, what was the toughest thing to get over -- you've done movies, but this is a very different kind of acting.

Q: Because I'm a federal agent, and I'm sort of the puppet master, the ringleader, she's guiding the player through all of this -- she's very solo. There are other people in the game, but she's kind of on her own and leading the charge.... I'm not interacting with the other actors, I'm not doing any of that, but I need to know where they're at in the story, what their characters are doing. So I have to do a character study on them because I'm not interacting with them. Because if I don't, I don't know what I'm doing.

Wired.com: Because you're alone in the studio, doing your lines.

Q: Exactly. And so all that story line has to be kind of processed, digested and you have to know where it's going after that. And that's very different, because in a movie, I'm meeting the other actors when we're acting, and we're actually talking about where we're going. With Chase, that plan is hers entirely. But to know the other characters' back-stories and then be able to move forward with them -- she does that on her own.

Wired.com: Did you ever say, when you were in production on this game, "Hey, wouldn't it be great if we brought the other actors in here and got all of us interacting?"

Q: But I'm the boss (in the game), which is kind of cool. It pays to be on your own. I know what you mean, it's really funny, but there are times even in movies where you have to do that. I've never been in a movie like that; I've always interacted with my co-stars, but it's one of those interesting things where you have to tie everything together in your own way.

Wired.com: It's like practice for if you're ever in a movie where you're in front of a green screen.

Q: Exactly, when you do Star Wars and that kind of stuff. But for this, the production value is so high and so incredible -- great sets, great director, great crew, great script -- I had nothing to complain about.

Wired.com: So are you going to start playing videogames now?

Q: Well, I have to. I've got my PS3 now, games, you know -- I have to wait for this one, obviously, but I can't wait. I played it (tonight) and I'm totally excited for Need for Speed.

Once more we would like to draw your attention to the special offer started for the Games Convention: If you have any questions regarding Need for Speed Undercover, we can offer you the opportunity to get them answered by a producer of NFS!
send your questions to the E-Mail address info@nfsplanet.com and selected questions will be answered directly by a producer of NFS in the course of the Games Convention!
You will find the replies to these questions right after the Games Convention here on NFS-Planet.

NFS Undercover First Look

Most Wanted 2

When the attendees got their first look on scenes from the game, the impressions were unanimous: There is Most Wanted 2. The positioning of camera, the integration of the car into the environment and the driving experience brought back some well-known memories immediately. Pro Street's simulation-like feeling is nearly gone. With the HUD, it was almost in the same manner: Bounty meter, (extended) delicts like Cost to state or Reckless Driving, pursuit breaker on the minimap – everything is back again.

In the past game you were looking for new competitions on the streets of the NFS world. Instead of the races you will find your missions there now. For the most part, introductions to these will be ingame graphics. For example, one job is to steal a Porsche out of a car dealership. Just after start you are watching the scenery from third person perspective, when you see the car crashing through the dealer's showcase. After that, the camera moves smoothly right behind your car and the getaway begins. Of course an alarm was raised and inevitably you run into the police. So let's activate the speedbreaker (only shots now and no recharging due to balancing issues) and dodge around the oncoming patrol cars. After a short pursuit using pursuit breakers like collapsing bridge segments or scaffolds to decimate the state's car pool, you reach your target and can flee into a garage. But I haven't seen any donut shop from Most Wanted along the way

In the course of the pursuit your car obviously couldn't remain without any scratches and was deformed according to Pro Street's well-known damage model. However, in Undercover your car will only receive visual damage. So if someone is moving closer to a pillar he won't recognize his vehicle anymore, but apart from that, he may drive away without any consequences.

One major thing that I've noticed is the improved cop and traffic AI. The traffic is trying to move with appropriate speed - “trying” means they also can't completely avoid getting involved into an accident among each other, but this might also be related to the very early game version I was playing. Pursuits will be more realistic as well. To specify a bad example: The final mission from Most Wanted where you had to survive for 20 minutes with an armada of corvettes in tow, which were partially doing over 120 mph backwards. Such things are ruled out in Undercover. Pursuits won't last longer than 6 minutes (as long as you don't want to) and with it, the number and behavior of cop cars is adapted, too. I also haven't seen any car spinning in the air meters high as a result of an impact. So the “interaction” with non-player-vehicles feels more realistic, but more striking as well, especially due to damage model and camera design improvements.

these pics look edited !

from 1st look
Heroic Driving

The new driving physics is in my opinion the most striking aspect in Undercover. The goal was to create an "Action Driving" game, whose gameplay experience was somewhere between Arcade an Simulation. Basically I would see the gameplay as a return of the predecessors Most Wanted and Carbon, with a bit more simulation from ProStreet. Nevertheless the driving physics have been re-created from the scratch and the developers call it the "Heroic Driving Engine". This includes the unbelievable control over the car and the direct reaction on steering commands. We took again a Porsche for a test drive and everyone was enthused. You always had the feeling to have the full control over the car and the feedback of the vehicle worked wonderful. Every bump, every steering command and every twitch with the gas pedal is visible on the display and the Porsche reacts according to the intensity of the throttle and steering with an analog gamepad very differentiated.
Although it is possible to accelerate the car softly without smouldering tires, the feedback of the engine is much more intense when you push the trigger to the limit. The engine howls, the body leans backwards, the car shakes and the new adjusted camera also moves slightly down, without appearing unrealistic or exaggerated in any kind. It's possible to use brakes and steering as well with such a precision. This enables you to make more difficult maneuvers, like U-turns, 360s or a slalom through the traffic on the highway. It seems as if the car knows before the player what's his intention. I didn't have this experience with the Need for Speed series yet - compared to Undercover the driving experience of the predecessors seems more sluggish.

Action Driving

My favourite part of the pre-alpha build we got to play was by far the new physics engine. Most of the engine was borrowed from Pro Street, but it was overhauled and tweaked to make each car handle differently, but all VERY well. If you've played any recent EA sports titles, you may be familiar with the various "skill moves" you can perform with your player. Along those same lines, the car controls in NFS Undercover act the same way. Hold the e-brake and tap the left stick slightly (on XBOX 360... not sure about other versions) and your car will do a slick looking 360. Tap the stick again, and you'll flip back around for a full 360 degree turn. Keep tapping and you can dance your car around any way you want, useful for evading cops, or just having fun. All these moves can be performed while going in reverse also. One thing to note... while performing a 180 or multiple 180's, the camera is not attached to the top of your car. It kind of "floats" around your car, letting you have a look at all angles. Try performing that same maneuver while lightly holding the steering control, and you'll pull of a nice drift. It all adds up for some very slick looking driving. However, the drift mode was taken out of this year's game, so you'll have to do that on your own. The big new mode this year is called "Highway Battle". It's basically what the name suggests. You and an AI opponent race down a highway during rush-hour like traffic. The traffic AI is also smarter this time around, and they will adapt and change lanes with their turn signals to avoid oncoming racers, or to obey police sirens.

*www.nfscars.net/article/view/405.aspx

no separate drift mode = EA going in right direction

doing 360 = sooo much fun :))

i think in nfs u, u2, mw,c, doin 360 turns was impossible.

Since there are already some cars known from screenshots and videos, you may won't be suprised when you see the new cars in the first two weeks...just be patient.

The second microsite is the "Tri-City Gazette", fictional newspaper which will feature news stories based on the world of Undercover and give you some insight into the game.

NFS UC: 4 new Gameplay-Videos & Interview

IGN published an interview with Bill Harrison, the Executive Producer of Need for Speed Undercover. He talks about the improvements in the game, the cinematic style and the work with Maggie Q.
He also reveils some new information, like for example there will be more than 55 licensed cars or a new multiplayer-mode called Cops N' Robbers!

Bill Harrison: In addition to the classic sprint and circuit race modes, Need for Speed Undercover features an all new exclusive multiplayer mode, Cops N' Robbers. This visceral team-based mode supports up to eight players and pits two teams of four players against each other. Robbers must pick up the money and take it to the drop-off point while the cops attempt to prevent the drop-off. Each game consists of two rounds giving the players the chance to play as the Cops and as the Robbers.

I guess this can be quite interesting. You can read the complete interview under the following links.

Additionally there are 4 new videos of NFS Undercover, which show the Highway Battle and Cop chases.

NFS UC: No demo planned?

According to the onlinemagazine GamingIndians.com there won't be any demo of Need for Speed Undercover. The magazine talked with producer John Doyle at the Games Convention Asia 2008, who supposedly said that "EA would not be releasing a demo of the game since they wanted to concentrate on the game rather than spend time on the demo".

At the moment there is no official confirmation of this statement, but as soon as we know more, you get to know here.

NFS UC: Exclusive Community Q&A

Do you have to unlock parts of the map or is the full map available from the beginning?

It's entirely open world from the start.

What can you say about the Traffic AI? Any improvements to earlier NFS titles?

We have evolved traffic AI to act and react much more like their real-world counterparts. From turn signals flashing to reacting to speeding cars by swerving, slowing down and braking for obstacles. Traffic will even make 911 calls in order to alert the cops of your location and if your Threat level is high enough you might find the traffic gets even busier when it fills up with cop cars.

What can you tell us about cars; are there the usual groups (tuner, muscle, exotic) and how many are there in each group?

Undercover displays cars as American, European and Japanese to represent the three customization classes. As with every year we aim to bring the most popular makes and models to the game, dozens and dozens of choices ' not only those muscle car options that are most popular, the newest in exotics, and even those that haven't even hit the street yet.

Is it possible to drive the police cars yourself?

Yup; there are some cool modes which give you access to the range of police cars. They're a lot of fun to drive and they have sirens.

NFS UC: The creation of the Porsche GT2

Andy Blackmore, the Senior Vehicle Concept Artist presents at the Speedhunters Blog his works on the Porsche GT2, which also has been used for the cover of Need for Speed Undercover.

Speedhunters is a website from the developers of EA Black Box, which gives an overview of the motor sports happenings around the world, with focus on Need for Speed-like events.

During early production of Need for Speed: Undercover, we started looking at the cars our characters might drive and also which car would end up on the cover. It’s been a while since a Porsche has been featured on a Need for Speed cover, so we decided to use the iconic Porsche 911 for this game.

This called for a unique body kit for the 997 GT2. The brief was to create an ‘aggressive, but tasteful’ kit. Yes, those were the very words! As Senior Vehicle Concept Artist, it was my job to turn that 'brief' into something visual....

Andy Blackmore explains the way from the Body Kit Design, over modelling to the paintworks on the car. In this article you can find some concept drawings, how the Porsche GT2 was created

NFS UC: Trailer & Q&A @ Gamespot
Gamespot has a new exclusive trailer of Need for Speed Undercover.

Additionally they sat down with Steve Barcia from EA and asked him some questions. Here is a small excerpt:

GS: NFS Undercover feels like a reaction of sorts from the previous game in the series, NFS Pro Street, with greater emphasis on story, the return of police, et cetera. That said, what gameplay aspects and/or lessons learned have carried over from ProStreet into Undercover?

SB: Not at all, Undercover was well into development while ProStreet was still being finished. The idea for Undercover was born from a desire to marry action racing found in Need for Speed with the overall energy of an epic action movie.

GS: This game will mark the proper return of police cars into the series. How have police changed since NFS Most Wanted?

SB: Cops are back and they are smarter, more aggressive, and more realistic than ever--as a result, players will have to be on guard and ready to use their heroic driving moves to avoid the cops.

The new AI and realistic physics helped us escalate the cop's abilities to make them more of a threat than ever before. In fact, the cops are using actual high-pursuit techniques such as PIT maneuvers and blocking tactics to take the player out.

You can find the trailer and the complete Q&A with Steve Barcia under the following links:

The official www.NeedforSpeed.com website has been updated with new videos, wallpapers and images.

Need for Speed Undercover will feature a new online-mode called Cops and Robbers.

In this visceral team-based mode two teams of four players are racing against each other. Robbers must pick up the money and take it to the drop-off point while the cops attempt to prevent the drop-off. This mode will only be available for PS3, Xbox360 and PC.

Need for Speed Undercover TGS Impressions

Gamespot and IGN got a chance to play the game at the Tokyo Game Show.
IGN describes two game modes, the Cost to State and Driver Job while Gamespot had a bit of fun with a McLaren F1, which is said to be the fastest car in the game.

By the end of our mission attempt, the McLaren we drove was reduced to jalopy status by our sloppy driving and, though EA said it will be impossible to "kill" your car in Underground, certain missions will take damage more seriously than others. For example, in a variation on the delivery challenge, you'll be asked to bring a car to a client in pristine condition--and any scratches you put on that coat of paint will cost you.

EA also showed us a Driver Job from a very late stage in the game. The object is to reach a casino across the city while avoiding the law, which is using everything at their disposal to stop you. There are SUVs, souped up cruisers, and a chopper. The level of aggression was staggering, showing that the AI is very capable of taking even experienced drivers out of the game.

Tri-City is the world, where you will race in Need for Speed Undercover. Gametrailers published a new trailer, which shows the city and its districts.

Asian Online version of Need for Speed?

EA Singapore recently published a press release regarding Maggie Q, who promoted Need for Speed Undercover on a Media Tour in Hong Kong. Apart from the text about the event, a quite interesting fact has been reveiled in this paragraph:

Maggie will also be appearing in an upcoming online version of Need for Speed, which is currently under development in EA's Asian Studios out of Singapore. The online game is tentatively scheduled for release in 2009 in Asia.

The latest Need for Speed games were developed by EA Black Box in Vancouver, so the asian version could be an additional NFS game, exclusively for Asia. The definition "online version" sounds a bit like the old Motor City Online.

NFS UC: Exclusive Hands-On Article

Last week we had the chance to get our hands on Need for Speed Undercover, during our visit EA Black Box in Vancouver, Canada. We played a close-to-final version of the game.

read the 4 page article

*img397.imageshack.us/img397/2442/0021dx1.th.jpg*img397.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif

The career mode consists of around 200 events, but you don't have to finish all of them to complete the game. Finishing the career will take you ~12 hours, but for 100% you might need 25 hours....

Traffic

The streets of Undercover still look a little bit lifeless and there's not much traffic going on, but it's nice to see traffic cars using turn lights and changing lanes. They honk at you when you're in their way and especially in the Highway Battle you should be careful not to hit them. You won't be able to make a traffic jam though.

looks like just a wee bit more than Most Wanted :/

and the motivation factor like getting your BMW back and blacklist is not there too

Anyway it will be a decent game IMO

In heat level 3 and 4 you're being chased by Police Muscle Cars and 5 and 6 will call the Superstate Police with Nissan GTRs. With the highest heat levels you have to deal the Federal Agents and Porsche 911s and SUVs.

allllll right!!!!!!

Additionally with Undercover you have several missions, you have to complete in order to advance in the story. This is quite fun, as there are jobs like "steal this Audi TT and bring it to the docks without a scratch". You have to be fast and careful not to get noticed from the police and not getting any damage.

reminds me of nfs pu factory driver missions

However, there won't be any endless pursuits in Undercover, as EA limited the number of police cars chasing you to 10. If you take one down, another one spawns, but after a certain amount of time the spawning stops makes it easier for you to evade. This doesn't mean that there will be hardly any police pursuits, this just means that they're going to be shorter than in previous titles.

nfs mw had a limit of 25 cops :))

NFS UC: Customization Walkthrough

If you want to get an impression of the visual tuning possibilities in NFS Undercover, you have to watch this new video at Gamestrailers: the Customization Walkthrough!

NFS UC: Battle Trailer

There is a new video of NFS Undercover: the Battle Trailer! This video shows a race between an Audi and a Porsche in the game.

=============

Customization

Some 'tuner' fans will be disappointed this year with the back pedaling of the visual and performance customization that Undercover uses. The Visual customization still allows full range color of your car, including changing region colors, but when it comes to putting the vinyls on, you have less options, as well as less control over how the vinyls are placed. EA's main reasoning for changing the customization style back a page, was to keep the focus on the game's career and story, more than the players garage. Performance customization has also turned back a page as well, you only have five different performance tuning sliders, which affected the engine, drive train, suspension, tires, and nitrous. The upgrading of parts has been limited to quick tuning, or picking parts, out, but not completely as in depth as what we were given in Pro Street. With the devolution of these two customization features, it may possibly turn away some gamers.

gameplay is important than visual customization.......so they are doin a good job....

Another underground game,can't these guys come up with a new name or something.At least one thing will be new in the franchise.

hey bro they are one of the best games of the world

what r the minimum system requirements for running this game?????????????

Saw a 6 minutes Hands On Demo video.
But is pretty much MW rebundled.
Game looks good and more realistic .Still I dont think its as good as GRID comparing only the same parameters.

Wonder when will NFS give serious competition to Codemasters. (Fuel coming

)

2 days remaining .. Dayymn!!!!!

@pc_game_lover2004:

hey bro they are one of the best games of the world

Well to a fanboy at least.Each game is just rehash of previous one.
I liked NFS:MW and played the demos of the two after it.The next two sucked ass.

im a die hard nfs fan but sadly wat he says is true...MW roked n thats wat created most of its fan base.....after that carbon was just a SO-SO game n pro street suked ass...

Totally agree. NFS MW was the best and till now EA couldn't match this game. Prostreet was total crap.

off lately all the sequels from major title suck... or from developers... eg : farcry2 ..

anyway i am very much waiting for the game.. played NFUC on mobile... it was nice...

lets see whts there in the pc version ...

if its great .. will get it for ps3...

but review on gamespot wasnt that great regarding NFUC... lets see

well its a tradition now to make games with good graphics, preferably for consoles, and then add little to no story, make a shoddy replicated port to PC, some pathetic AI to counter graphics and then unfinished parts with plethora of bugs. Thats it stalker for this time.

GAMESPOT and other friggin sites just sucks. It's kinda pay per review thing. You know they ware so lenient to give some game 10/10 and for some point out retarded flaws and rate'em down.

I find it better to read reviews by users or in blogs.

It's just gfx, gfx & more gfx. Due to this the storyline, gameplay suffers.
Game dev's design a game which should kill top of the line graphic card but do not keep in mind about the game running on moderate systems.
Due to this reason, I have left gaming for good.

i njoy the gametraielrs.com video reviews....quite accurate irrespective of whether its halo 3 or mario

unlike sites like gamespot which i feel are influenced by the hype...

X

the storyline of this game has been the same since ages with some slight mods and that i believe is the worst part the NFS series.
They keep improving the graphics, physics etc etc but after a while the game becomes a little boring. The only version I ddn't like was NFS ProStreet.
But I still love to love to play even the older versions of this game. No doubt this one is gonna put the streets on fire as well.

M

i still like drifting in underground 2 and carbon

is it out????....did anyone get a hold of some in game screenies??? .....or some reviews

hold on for 1 more day buddy

awaiting....cant

yoyo just got the game...gonna play it this evening after my xam

Just played 10 min. Looks like MW with shiny cars and more detailed world. But roads don't look good. Maxed with 4xAA. Overall, graphics kinda crappy.

I played it & uninstalled it. Reason: Bad to worse performance with the frame rates. I ain't touching it again till someone confirms otherwise. Checked up GameFAQS boards as well they too have the same issue with Quad setup & GTX280. This is completely unacceptable. I have maxed out every detail & the frame rates take a nose dive to 25Fps. It doesn't look so solid in the graphics department either. Tried reducing every detail but still couldn't get close to 45Fps. This is insane. Looks like a port job or a rather very bad optimisation.

great ....don't tell me that EA got it wrong this time too.......I hoped this would be the game that saves their name ......especially after prostreet...

I have lost hope in EA lately , they have now become greedy people trying to squeeze money instead of making good games.

@ ethan: I agree.... this one has worse graphical quality than NFS:MW. I am playing at 1680x1050 with max details on Vista at 4X AA. At similar settings Codemaster's GRID offers way better graphical quality with more than 80 FPS, while this one barely manages to get 40 FPS with occassional freezing frames.... kind of disgusting !!!! Tried to play with AA turned off and still there are performance issues...

But NFS:UC is better than that crap ProStreet in gameplay...even the background music is quite good. I was able to play the game for half an hour before it started to get boring...!!! The graphics feel really pathetic... take a look at the trees/roads... man !!!! even NFS:MW had better trees/roads in terms of graphics.....

... I think I will stick with DIRT and GRID !!!! NFS is really losing it..... and it feels bad coz HP2/UG/MW were some of the best arcade racing experiences that I had on the PC !!!

watiting for the final reviews.....hopefully the above reviews were wrong......

Thanks for confirming. I was struggling with the same fate. I was so happy to finally try this out but all hopes tanked when I saw the poor performance graph. GriD gave 67Fps at all times for me rather than this piece of junk. Something is dead wrong with the game. I didn't expect this from EA.

next game is grid then.......how is the game ? what type of racing?

GRID is an awesome arcade/racing simulator hybrid game...the controls are therefore a bit more difficult for guys who never played Simulators, but once you get adjusted to it, you can't deny that its one of the best racing games ever made for PC. Take a look:
*www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/pc/grid?q=GRID

good....grid it is then......still hoping for some good news from EA.....

How's the storyline .... will anyone comment on that please instead of the graphics ?

^^We are not commenting on grafix but on the optimisation. How are you going reach the end if your game runs at 2FPS ?

Well, I read many comments about this choppy FPS issue. On TPB forum, GFaqs, GSpot, etc.

i think the PC version of GTA IV is releasing on nov 21st (in the US)

4.0 is just pathetic ..... means this sequel too means the downgradation of the NFS series !

4.0

!!??!?!??!
Seems to me that EA decided to show that they can be worse, much much worse.

Now all I'm waiting for is GTA IV. :wink:

Is GTA 4 coming out on 21st?If this is the case then I must SLI my rig ASAP!

BIG DISSAPOINTMENT.... poor maggie Q

4 is too less a score.
Maybe a reviewer had some rift with EA.(He didnt get his due amount

)
Cuz any NFS game cant be that bad.
Even ProStreet was 6.5 ... And I saw the gameplay videos ... It isnt that bad.

^^ Apparently, even the PS3 version has a lot of performance issues too...

But I really agree, Prostreet was really really a pile a cr@p !!!! I couldn't even tolerate it for more than 10 min on my PC. But I was at least able to play Undercover for like 1 hr today !!!! Than it began to get really really boring !!!

So it's not just the PC version which is FUBAR'd. I might just give it one more try before I dump it in the bin.

@amrawtanshx:

There is no cure for fanboi

,EA has been attacked left right and center for their mostly crappy games.
(dead space has garnered pretty reviews so it must be an exception)

damn it. They work for 2yrs on a game and give this????

My wait shifts to Formula1 game by Codemasters. No doubt now, Codemasters is the new leader in racing genre.

IGN says:

Part of the reason for this is the game's complete and utter misuse of its open world setting. The major reason for having an open world is to allow gamers to explore their environment, find new challenges, perhaps some hidden locations and generally hunt down people to race. That doesn't happen one bit in Undercover. You cannot even drive to an event to start it or enter your garage. To begin an event, you can either head to the overhead map, which requires a couple of seconds of loading despite its utter simplicity, or simply press down on the D-Pad. This will load up whatever your nearest event is, or in some cases, the next major event you're supposed to take part in.

@ALL :-
Lara looks hot in the new game. Gotta try that out instead of this junk. Installing Silent Hill Homecoming. Look around you folks, you got better games to pass time with

.

T

The BAD:
1.Trees look unrealistic,some graphical glitches in tires and here and there but thats ok.

The Good:
1.Apart from trees and some minor glitches the Graphics are AWESOME
2.Those suffering from bad framerate , read below
3. Decent music adds to the intensity of racing.
4. Its just MW Rebundled but better than ever

Fixing Framerate (HAPPENS ONLY ON dual core and quad core PCs)

1.Start the game and play for few sec
2.Alt Tab back to desktop
3.Hit Ctrl Alt Del to open Task Manager, select processes tab
4.Now right click nfs.exe and click on set affinity
5.Uncheck any 3CPU checkboxes on quadcore and 1Checkbox on dual core
6.Go back to game
7.Quit the game and Restart the PC

^Do we have to do this each time we play the game or just once?

OK..based on the info that Conqueror posted above.... and the review that I just watched on Gametrailers, can anybody please clarify the following points:

Note: I am playing the game on Vista, nVidia driver 178.24, Max Graphical settings and @ 1680x1050 @ 4X AA.

1) Does the game fare better on XP ??

2) The review showed that the roads and the cars have strong reflections, but what I can see is that the roads are non-reflective as well as the cars have much lesser reflection and detail than expected... is that happening with you guys ?? The screenshots posted earlier by some readers here also showed that the roads are just lifeless and graphically pathetic !!!!

3) @ The Conqueror: Could you please post some of your screenies, so that we can compare with ours.... something doesn't seem right here with the game on our PCs as the game just looks worse than even the age-old NFS:MW... I might reinstall the game and try it on XP with the trick that you posted above....and thanx a lot for posting that trick !!!

some1 plz confirm if the above trik works...

^Do we have to do this each time we play the game or just once?

Just once..BTW I run on all settings to high max res but disabled AA and Shadows.It works fine

rockthegod said:
OK..based on the info that Conqueror posted above.... and the review that I just watched on Gametrailers, can anybody please clarify the following points:

Note: I am playing the game on Vista, nVidia driver 178.24, Max Graphical settings and @ 1680x1050 @ 4X AA.

1) Does the game fare better on XP ??

2) The review showed that the roads and the cars have strong reflections, but what I can see is that the roads are non-reflective as well as the cars have much lesser reflection and detail than expected... is that happening with you guys ?? The screenshots posted earlier by some readers here also showed that the roads are just lifeless and graphically pathetic !!!!

3) @ The Conqueror: Could you please post some of your screenies, so that we can compare with ours.... something doesn't seem right here with the game on our PCs as the game just looks worse than even the age-old NFS:MW... I might reinstall the game and try it on XP with the trick that you posted above....and thanx a lot for posting that trick !!!

1) Does the game fare better on XP ??
Yes
The screenshots posted earlier by some readers here also showed that the roads are just lifeless and graphically pathetic !!!!
Actually they might be running the game on low settings or bilinear or trilinear filter or on low res.
3) @ The Conqueror: Could you please post some of your screenies, so that we can compare with ours....
I would post later in the evening.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply.

The screenies posted earlier were claimed to be taken at max settings and running on very high end hardware like GTX280 !!! As I am doing the same on an SLi/C2Q rig and even at maxed out settings the graphics are pathetic and lifeless.. all I can see is the glaring overused HDR (excessive sun glares) and blandly overused excessive shader effects which are not at all pleasing to the eyes....thats Why asked that question... anyways, I guess I will be looking forward to see your screenies... thanks again.

Actually my xfire hasnt yet recognised this game so once it does i will be able to take the screenies easily.
Although i agree that graphics are not as good as GRID but they are not bad either.If you notice closely there is water all over the roads.Maybe the corrupt graphics are due to the lagging and low framerate response times,which is why the game would not be able to add "live"environment.But I am surprised that even though i have PentiumD,2GBRAM and just ASUS 8600GT,I can see better graphics than you all

The Conqueror said:

Not in my case. I posted those screenshots with every bit of detail maxed out & that includes setting filter options to Anisotropic. Even then it doesn't look as good as the console versions. The frame rates have bad jumps. The environment detail isn't that good either. Overdone HDR. Screenshots don't reflect much but I would say it's pretty much OK in the graphics unless the frame rate issues are fixed.

I downloaded the GT (Game Trailers) review for this game as well & they said even the console versions yield poor frames (PS3 more so). I'll try the trick you gave above let's hope it works. I don't expect a 90Fps or something but a normal 60-ish fps would do just fine. Can you tell me what frames are you getting & how did the setting help?

~snipped~

^^ You have been warned for discussing illegal stuff. The next mistake, and you'll earn yourself a ban.

A small ques:
Will it run in my config:
AMD 64 X2 4400+
Jetway mobo with Nvidia geforce 7100 IGP, having 512 as graphics memory.
2 gb 667 mhz RAM.

I don't have graphic card. I currently play games like World in Conflict, Empire Earth3, fifa 09, NFS Carbon, NFS Prostreet, etc.

So, i think this game shud run, wat do u say?

are whn did i discuss piracy ?? i was just talking of ways to increase the fps yaar.....never even hinted that the game ur using shudnt be legit.anyway....peace..

You very well know what you wrote in your post, and so do I, so please can we just accept things as they are and move on?

S

I'm playing the game on Vista Ultimate,8800 GTS 512 SLI and getting FPS in the range of 30-45 FPS.Good enough for me.The game's not as bad it has been rated.Not bad at all!

@ kalpik...sure thing dude...frgt bout it..wont happen again

Sunny1211993 said:

frederick_benny_digit said:

Good to know

Will someone answer my ques?

^Depends. The performance of this game is very dodgy even on high end rigs. So really can't say how it will perform on low end ones. It will probably turn out to be a mess with low settings. I tried reducing every detail just to check if it yielded better frame rates but nothing much changed. Infact the game looked super pathetic with every detail reduced. Even NFS Most Wanted had better detail at lower resolution compared to this game.

it will be a slideshow on my PC then

. Better watch some movie than this.

same here......guess will stick to most wanted ....

Even if it ran, it would have been better to watch a movie

Ok.. now I tried re-installing the game again on another machine with a C2Q9650 and 9800GTX running Windows XP SP3 !!! I am facing the same problem as on my machine.. even tried the trick of The Conjurer.... but the trick don't seem to work, the graphics are downright pathetic even at maxed out settings and the game fps slowdown issues are still prevalent... this is technically most pathetic piece of game that I ever installed/played in my life.... comparing to this even its saying something that I at least enjoyed NFS ProStreet demo last year !!!!!

Well, NFS, good bye, really can't forget the experience that I had with Most Wanted .. and Codemaster's, here's your still loyal fan !!!!

EA have F-ed up the FIFA series on the PC as well this year, so this is no big surprise for me.

Happy racing game.

[*goes off to install GRID]

This game is far far better than mw....in any aspect be it graphics or story....i finished this game and was satisfied....i dont know why u guys are behind ea...!!

^^No one is after EA... everyone is just angry because EA could have got this game right (after ProStreet suk'd), as the concepts/foundation of NFS:UC, though not at all novel by any means, were solid.. BUT the execution was practically pathetic.. and also IMO, this game is nowhere near as exciting as MW. Being an Ex NFS fan, believe me, I tried to play this game... but keeping the damn irritating technical issues aside... the gameplay is not quite good.. and by that, I ALSO mean its very very easy... I played like for 2 hrs .. and never got beaten in any !!!! I could have completed this game straight, but it felt so extremely boring after some time... that I had to play GRID online for another hour to revive myself from that boredom !!!

M

In starting it is easy...but as the game progress it becomes hard...and about comparing it with mw....it is ahead of mw....!!

C

Graphics isn't all that great (I think ProStreet was better) but the gameplay is pretty good. I'm starting to like it just as much as I liked MW, if not better. I'm pretty satisfied

M

u will like it more now...!!

finished the game today....looks like NFS series is dead,,,first carbon, then PS, and now Undercover; the game is better then PS but nowhr near MW......its plain, and lifeless, giving a fake feeling of the franchise

Put a free roam feature in GRID and it ll be awwwsome, i think EA shud end up NFS series now and start a new series of car racing,,

OMG .... The game is really choppy !!!!

Didn't like at all ..... graphics are pathetic .. Seriously , next time onwards , i'll first wait for the proper reviews and then play the sequel !

R

Just played the game. Is there no decent Main Menu in it ?

^^use keyboard, mouse has no potential

Well I'm playing it using my XBOX gamepad and although the graphics are pretty washed out even on my system, gameplay on the whole is all together different than the previous NFS titles. No active holographic race markers, haven't seen a safe house yet, no proper shop indicator either, Car feels kind of funny, that's arcadish funny. Race types are new but some ingeniously new, some ripped off from Midnight Club 3. Overall ain't a bad game for casual gamers like me , only the GRID and GT guys stay away from it.

A

The Game Rocks ... the graphics are awesome ..... better gameplay , the races and challenges are really new this time and for NFS lovers it the piece of cake .. after most wanted this one is indeed that NFS lovers deserve for. Some screenshots from my system , and the cars never looked like toys or anything funny ..... :-

Omg !!

S

Yeah the graphics are superb,gameplay ain't too bad either.It's just that it gets too slow sometimes and the story is also not too immersive.
Overall the game is playable

i am seeing a changed attitude or say reviews all over the net.... is it true its really not that bad game after all ??

off topic:

guys is the game available in chennai ... ( u guys know wht i mean :-D

)

i'll be waiting for a patch from EA before playing again !

lolwut? a patch is not coming any soon, look what was done to dead space :/

why ??

i am sure ea would have got hold of the duo/quad core problem......

^^instead a upgrade pack (read cheats and some texture/decals which are usually earned freely in game) will be released for some $$$.

^^EA rulez!!

The file's huge

DARN IT

Will this game run on my Configuration?

no it wont ... :-D

heard it runs poorly on duo/quad cores...

so get a P4 ..... ditch ur system... EA wants us to go to past.....

Update :

played the game , here are my views...

AUDIO / MUSIC : 10/10 --- simply awesome

the music is the best part of the game... they were really great and looking forward to rip the musics from the game... they were similar to ost`s found in good films... :-D

PHYSICS : 3/10 --- Worst .... wht the hell ?? the car simply makes a acute 90 deg at corners ?? and flips / rotates in mid air for nothing ... and the worst part is ... simply by jumping from height and after the cut scene the car simply races at 100 KM/hr even when u just have dropped / jumped the car @ 10km/hr ... WORST :-(

and the cars have no physics wht so ever...
MW cars had some real feel to it ... but in UC the feel is lost... it was just like playing a car game on mobile phone ...
UC is like a complete aracadish game .. ( remembers me of older NFS series... where u just driver a play toy looking car )

GRAPHICS : 4/10 ----- WTF is the white patch doing near the tires ?? ( they created to show the water on the wheels .. but i looked like some cheap graphics...)

and wht was the transparent gif file ( i suppose ) doing on the both the top corners of the screen when speeding ?? its not the bloom i am talking about...but a cheap looking gif file to show the car is speeding ... pathetic programming !!! HATS OFF EA !!!!

reagarding cars , they are really well made...!!
Graphic suffers a lot when u finish the first zone .. and enter the second gang... from here on the frame rates drop to pathetic levels.. i dont know why...

my OC 8600 , with 3 gig of ram on a duo core and with explorer.exe closed and all other stuff closed... the game is was still lagging in frame rates... PATHETIC !!!

STORY/GAMEPLAY : 7.5/10 I wouldnt say the story isnt nice .. its was ok... and as i have read from the other reviews .. they said how can they collect evidence by racing .. but i think ( i hope i did atleast ) maggie Q will at one point will display photos of loot and other crime activities including racing and havocking the street... i think its enough for a care game.... may be its not but .. but u cant excpect a person to go and do the dirty jobs of collecting the evidence and other stuff.. this aint san andreas.. expect something sensebile... atleast...
MW was revenge and even it was boring at some time when u simply have to play match after match.. but after playing a solid 4-5 hours yesterday .. i would say the game is pretty interesting indeed with highway battle , car stealing , getting car to a place in record time ( most adrenaline pumping race , i would say ) , and take out friends of the gang after taking down the leader , and old cop take out , cost of state, saving girl friend from enemy , etc... as of now the game is moving fast ...

CARS : 8/10 : i am just limiting it to car graphics.. not regarding physics and handling stuff ...

CArs included are awesome ... with GM camerro concept car... wow .. its a wonderful list....

so far really not that bad as reviews have pointed out ...

Will edit this part as i play further...

please comment on this small review ...

^^^
from this and other reviews all I can say is that EA has set a new low

_

OHH i forgot about the watery road... when there is no rain in that game... well done EA... i think u were washing the street so that i can play welll ... good thinking ...

and needless to say the street the street look very empty at some times and whenever i hit the high way the gameplay or driving skill turns in to pathetic , uncontrollable or least controllable drive to show that u r in high way and its their foremost inovative thing in thier game on HOW TO TACKLE THE HIGH WAY !!! PATHETIC AGAIN....

^lolol.... I thought you bought it for PS3 at first! But then I read that you had got it for PC lolz.

^He's better off wasting 599 bucks on the PC version then blow a boat load on the PS3 version. Apparently even the PS3 suffers from performance issues, very badly.

NFS has been shedding its sheen after Most wanted!

Update :

the game keeps comming with new type of challenges... really nice ....

this time i had to save my girl friend who is been chased by enemy gang.... another + .5 to the gameplay and story ....

Looks nice maybe my money won't be wasted like f*g PROSTREET

OFFTOPIC:- anybody knows where i can upload screenshots of my games and show them here?

B

played the game for two hours. really not as bad as it is rated.rather I love its new type of challenges. Atleast it is not like prostreet which is a total crap.

For people having issues with frame rates being very low, I just got a tip from the thread at TE.

Just turn OFF shadows completely & see the frame jump. I just turned it OFF & set everything else at max with 4X AA @1280x1024 & I got a whopping 75-80 Fps. That's like twice the earlier performance. I just turned ON V-Sync to get rid of the tearing & it's all smooth now. Try to check if it works.

shadows are the worst programmed graphics in the game...

i didnt use shadows fro mthe begining ....

and also try to set the WORLD effect to min or less as that is the one which is eating the framerates...

i dont know how much FR i am geting but the game is smooth...

the game is really nice .. my friends here around 4-5 are playing the game and all of them liked .. just now played two three highway battle ... ( whellman level 11 ) man .. what a adrenaline pumping race ..!!!!

EA has really put the idea but the graphic designeers and code writer are the ones who messed up the "should have been damn hit" NFS title...

Completed the game in 10 hours. They game could have been a lot better.. only 2 or 3 races were hard to finish...

guys i aam stuck with that buggati veron car stealing ( 4 car staealing ) operation...

man its f^cking difficult...

anyway the game gets 7.5 from me ...

did the above triks...made shadows n world detail low n AA at 6X, gr8 boost in fps...playable now

lak of story, no fun, u just keep on switching from race to race just by pressing tab...almost mechanical....car feels funny...not responsive as most wanted was, hence difficult to control as u wud like to...but better than the early reviews.
will give it 6.5-7

i never use AA .. they eat loads of fps...

dude just think of UG 1 , or prostreet or older nfs... u dont have a story there ... only in UG2 they brought some little story and in MW it was back with full force...

more over this is more than enough , if u ask me regardin the story for a racinggame...

wht else can u expect ??

but one thing i didt liek is that very soon u get goos cars.. i got elise by playing just 1/2 hour... thats rediculous... MW made us sweat to get good cars ...

more over the car pimping is very difficult... i mean it wasnt that good as we had in MW/prostreet... the use of keyboard is pathetic in car modification page...

the cars do feel like play toys... , but sometimes.. they feel like old MW cars...

u cant simply roam in the streets... the police car out number the normal cars... LOL...

simply take a 1/2 min ride in the free roam mode.. u will get caught with police and the cop chase begins.. even though u can loose then very easily ,.. but still makes the game look like cheap programming..

graphics .. i mean the frame rates are the most let down in this game...

some time the frame drop to 5-10 .. unplayable...

I liked the cop chases.. The AI is better and its not that easy to take out a cop car like it was in MW and Carbon..

^^like ?

wow .. i finshed that job.. man wht a thrilling race that was..

still going on with the game.. just playing it slowly.. didnt want the game to end.. as no other game as is good for playing at the moment...

I don't have fps problem. I get avg 30 @ high, 2xAA AF 1680*1050. Cops are smart and I like interstate race in traffic.. very cool.

u get 30 fps n ur saying u dont have fps prob ??

The game is a whole lot easier than Grid. Thank god

^^like as if you are 2 minutes ahead of your opponent throughout the race

Don't even need some skillz lolz. That count as minus point for me

Playing the game and it is 60% over... i loved it... i have been a NFS fan and prostreet was really disappointing... this one paid for the wait...

i rate it 8.5/10

B

I'v been playing the game for the last few days...and yes its really nice game......addictive... I don't know why this game is rated so poorly. I love this game....

is it available ?? at Planet M ?

buzzzzrr said:

Coz after playing a determined racing game like GRID, the reviewers puke on this!

I'm almost 46% through the game. Upgrade my Lotus Elite with some swanky upgrade packs. This car handles beautifully. Have applied the HD patch to it as well but it looked a bit dull after that, so switched back to it's default look.

M

This is an action street racing game unlike grid...!! And it is good in its league...!!

A

grid aint hard lol
its control physics is screwed up & codemaster were lazy to fix it.
play wit xbox controller to experience the real stuff.
the people saying grid is sim or sim liek, go play GT on ps2 lol
undercover is boring. its more like mc2 lol, bland.
EA could hav remade NFS HP2, that is recreate those tracks &add more& add NFS PS cars & then rebadged it as HP2 evo, that would have got nfs 10/10 score.

frederick_benny_digit said:

How much do you need to play comfortably? unless your eyes run at 100fps.

The problem is the game is not consistent with 30 frames. If I turn the shadows ON then I get around 30 frames at the max & when it tanks the frames dip to as low as 17. This is the reason why it's so darn dodgy. I don't playing at 30fps provided it doesn't budge from there. When I turn the shadows OFF, the frame throttles to 75 & when it drops from then it attains 30fps. Hence 60fps atleast secures you to a safe spot.

^^Yup just like you...

A

do you even know whats NFS HP2?
thats the best nfs so far, not the ricer oriented shiitty underground series. which became a hit coz of the "fast n furious" movie
<watch the language> drool over nfs u & u2 lolz.
play grid with xbox controller, its a lot better.
i think ea should have put grid's AI in nfs uc lolz.

^^Yup UC's AI sux. Hot Pursuit 2 was indeed a good game but my fav. racers always will be DiRT and GRID.

Alright...Ive completed the first part where we get 'Hector' arrested. So wanna revise my review...
first of all, the story is dissapointing...it has potential like the fast & furious movie, but it seems as if EA just wanted an excuse to make a sequel.The hyped "Heroic Driving" isnt really gr8 at all...

The graphics are good but I preferred the Most Wanted style, but i think its quite clear that they are badly optimised, leading to a heavy fall on frame rates. this can be fixed by reducing the shadows n the detailing but this shouldn't be the case. You get good cars to drive early on itself in the game, making it enjoyable real soon. Most wanted fans may find the driving sensitiveness a little wierd and difficult to control at first but you get used to it as you play on.

A huge pain I found was the difficulty..ITS WAY TOO EASY, leading to "Domination" almost without even breaking a sweat in most of the races!! But the new game modes like the Highway Battles and Cop Take Out make it a fun experience....
One nice feature is a really cool trance type music in the game. Many of the tracks seem to be rightly appropriate for the kind of race you're in and makes it more enjoyable.Not to mention that the tracks themselves are great .

Regarding the free roam, its basically pointless...you just press TAB n get to the next race, requiring no need to roam the Tricity are at all. Even if you do roam the city, there are no rewards for it like in Underground 1,2 where you could find hidden shops n bonuses.

So on the whole, I give it a 7.5.

if u got nvidia drivers, just use the nvidia control panel->chnge resolution n chng the refresh rate...else if your frame rates are locked to the refresh rate, just turn off vsync

I have the same refresh rate at that resolution. Better leave it at that. Check under your monitor's model for supported refresh rate at that resolution. If it doesn't support that then better not fiddle with it. Also why do you need 85hz anyway?

How do u all check the fps..

^^fraps

^^^^ ????????????????????????????

FRAPS dude. It's an application which can monitor your frames in the game. Also allows you to take screenshots & capture videos. Google will help you out more.

my monitor support Max Resolution: 1920x1440 @ 64Hz.i needed bcoz ny default resolution is 1280*1024 85hz when i playing then hz goes down gaming screen shrink due to hz. i fix it again

Wait. You just lost me completely out there pal. Do you mean your monitor is currently at 85Hz & the games you play only allows you 75Hz?

Hey,
What's the use of speedbreaker in nfs undercover. The key is "b", by default. It just goes in slowmotion, but what's it for?

^^^ well it helps me to make sharp turns perfectly... try it and you will understand

The reason behind inserting that feature is to slow down time so as to make a correct judgement with your sharp/sudden turning. It also buys you time to survive a cop car barricade & avoid ramming your car into their. I have rarely found this feature that helpful. It slows down the pace of the game.

Ya, right. But the game is easy. This feature i use rarely

ok, now understood, thanx.

The speedbreaker is of no use in regular races in Undercover.. All cars are extremely responsive and you can make the toughest turns easily...

The speedbreaker is also useful, when you have to break some roadblocks. Just hit the speedbreaker, at the time of contact with the cop vehicle, the impact will be more. If you hit without the speedbreaker, the impact is comparitively lower.

Ethan_Hunt said:

i have set 85hz nd wants the game can play on 85hz.its happen with CRT monitor

NIGHTMARE said:

If the game doesn't allow you to do 85Hz then set your monitor to 75Hz & let the game take over 75Hz as well. AFAIK that would be an ideal refresh rate for a 19 inch CRT at that resolution.

today i check the running on 60hz then i set to 85hz permanently.If i set to 75hz then monitor flickering on 85hz its works gr8.

hi guys.... i really liked this game but now need your help...

in my career state in the game i have been assigned 4 hot jobs together and need to steel the cars and reach a certain place. but when ever i attempt this races the car damages and am unable to loose the enemy cars... i try to use the same techniques which i used for the cops but it dont work on them...

can someone tell me how to complete this... i am really desperate to proceed in the game.

PLS someone help or no one has completed this yet

what the hell is this game. running too slow on my pc.
set all setting to lowest still slow?

Even crysis warhead running better than this.

Will it run on C2D T5450,2GB RAM,Inspiron 1420

hey can we play over lan or hamachi

I hope this will fix the issue.

I started playing this game last weekend and I sincerely feel that it's 1000^1000 times better than Prostreet. But I still think it's way behind NFS:MW in gameplay.

Hey guys...i made a new sig for me of UC...it is offtopic but still

Check this out:-

^^ To be frank, it looks really really bad.

Got bored after completing 50% of the game. Uninstalled it for the time being & may be will come back to it later.

Thats a Kewl siggy there Krazzy Warrior..

I meant siggy pic..

Change the colour of the text, rest the siggy is good.

Hint : Make it dusty orange or brownish.

whn does this game end ?? im on wingman level 15 and about to reach 16...got G-mac arrested just now....lot of game still left ?

M

there is still more to come dude.

just finished it...they tried to put a "twist" in the plot but i found it SOOOOOOOOO LAME!!!!!

my GAWD!!!! a 5yr old cud predict that ****...

Installed it.
Watched the cheesy opening sequence.
Played 1 race.
Didn't feel like playing it ever again.
Uninstalled it without a second thought.
No regrets.

Got the game. Got to play the game for an hour or two last week, i would prefer it to call the game as Need For Speed Freeze rather than Need For Speed Undercover.

The game freezes so often while playing, It slowly brings the game data into the screen, and then continues as normal. I have set all High, with no AA. Is this a issue with the game, or my System. I feel my System is good enough to play with no AA.

This is what i feel about the Game:

I enjoyed playing Highway Battle rather than other races.
I find sunlight on the screen in most of the time, this irritates as you cant see anything properly.
Are there any safehouses, or garages as in NFSMW.
Compared to Undercover, ProStreet is far better as i feel, i enjoyed the race Day style in ProStreet.

You need a better Graphic card dude! Its nice game and at least far better than Pro street

pro street sucks man really the handling oh my god

OK guys, i said what i did feel about the game, lets not fight about it.

But i want to know why does the screen freeze, for a few seconds when playing Undercover. Is it due to the Graphics card i have. I have played Crysis completely without any issues, but without any AA. Same here too. Also COD World at War is also running fine in my system without any issues.

S

7600 GS is a somewhat obsolete card in these days. GS cards meant for a home theatre PC with the aim of watching movies and some mild gaming but not for hardcore crazy gaming. Your card is wearing our now. Your PC config is excellent,it's just that you need a good GPU. Lack of proper graphics acceleration is causing these issues.
I hope it helps.

Look what I've found

can anyone tell me how to play the in-game movies ??

^^
After few bunch of races u will be seeing cutscenes and which will further ur game progress.And u will get JOBS too .There werent that many races I did .. I did few and jumped to Jobs.

^^
I only did few races to get JOBS quicker (I hardly did any circuit race .. I did short ones )and kept unlocking JOBS.
The game was pretty small for me .Finished in some 10 - 11 hrs.

What a small easy game
Career 100% game 100% in 19 hrs took only 5 days.only few events was there that found challenging.i failed at 5 races only in fist time.But in MW all were challenging.Specially cops.in uc cops do nothing even the federel units.I was never busted in UC
most wanted took 3months to get 100%
