  • Need For Speed ProStreet

    Its a good news for gamers and as well as NFS fans out there . EA has annouced the next version of the NFS called ProStreet . Though much information havent been revealed about it , it is certain that Car Damage will play an important part in this game . Whatever they do , i hope they dont make it similar to NFS IV where after each race all your money went out in the car repairs . And i do feel that such a thing could have a effect on the gameplay also .

    Need for Speed ProStreet boasts impeccable precision and impressively detailed photo-realistic graphics, effectively transporting you to the center of the action. It pushes the “Autosculpt” technology to a new level, allowing you to directly impact your car’s performance for the first time as well as personalize its appearance. Need for Speed ProStreet is a true taste of raw adrenaline and racing with consequences. Every dent, every scratch and every crumpled body panel is a battle scar, proof of your commitment and competitive mettle. With an aggressive and skilled AI system, you become immersed in an unmatched believable race experience. Add in a revolutionary online mode that will redefine the meaning of competitive social play, and Need for Speed ProStreet is the ultimate formula for an emotionally charged street racing showdown.

    So what do you guys think ?

    Live ads in Games

    A new form of advertising may soon be around to hit us . Advertisers who want to get there products noticed to 16-30 years old , EA Games and Microsoft might have a solution for you . EA Games , in conjunction with Massive Incorporated (a subsidiary of Microsoft) will be able to provide live advertising in XBOX 360 and PC games it releases - first game featuring this will be NFS Carbon .

    In the past we have had several games like Rainbow Six , Swat etc which are displaying ads in the form of banners , roadside signs etc. The issue is quite debatable as well , as why would a person who is paying more than 50$ for a game be subjected to ads . I mean if the games were free , then no one would object plus many feel that sometimes the old and outdated ads makes the game feel “stale” after a long time . Read the rest of this entry »
