Need for Speed: Carbon – What’s next?
Need for Speed: Carbon is the latest release from EA. This game is way ahead of its predecessors in physics and modeling. The stunning graphics, great music and nicely arranged plot made my day.
I have been playing NFS since NFS 2. Since then I played every release and my all time favorite is Need For Speed Porsche Unleashed. That game was something really stunning graphics, Porsche theme and way too real than its competitors!
I was wondering, what will be the next version of NFS: Carbon? If we see the trend of games, it can be categorized as follows:
- NFS 2 - Plain racing
- NFS 3 - Pursuit
- NFS 4 - Racing with better physics and realism
- NFS 5 - Theme based game (Porsche lineup)
- NFS 6 - Pursuit (Reloaded version of NFS 3)
- NFS 7 - Underground theme
- NFS 8 - Underground theme reloaded in much better way
- NFS 9 - Mix n' match of pursuit and career mode
- NFS 10 - Underground theme revisited again with strong pursuit and territory based career mode
EA has always tried to put new race modes and latest cars. A constant effort to make NFS more than just racing can be observed in previous games. So what can be the next theme? I think a more realistic betting could be another option. Player earns and bets in racing. If you loose all the money, you are out of the career mode and your cars will be lost.
The customization is the key now. Autosculpt in NFS carbon has done a great job. NFS carbon was having many other things such as crew members and some racing modes. I miss drag racing though! 
What you think?
Yeah, I like the NFS series..waiting for the next challenger.
Happy New Year 2007
Cheers!

I was really disipointed by NFS Carbon. I mean it was way to shoort. Not the and like no cops anywhere. And when there were cops it took so long to kill just one or two. I did like the drift aspect of the game It would be sweet if I could go drifting in my friends Gallardo. But I hope they make the next one a multi disc game. That would help with the expansion on the graphics and the story line. As well as outting more cities in like the Midnight Club set. It is so boring to race in one city over and over again. Bring some varity to the game please. They also need to bring back some of the custumization from NFS Underground one and two. If you could put speekers and neons and spinners etc. on a lambo or porsche, that would be so cool.
Also the makers of the game need to make an agreement that the NFS line can have both Lamborghini and Ferrari, in the same game. Let the user decide which is the better car. I know the two have a huge battle going on but hell they did it for PGR3 lets do it for this one.
And MORE BMW’S like the X5, the M3, M5, M6, Z4M. Just blow me out of the water on the next one please.
