Haven't picked this game up yet, but I plan to ASAP...

It features the Cobalt SS/SC in game. While not perfect, I thought the screens provided were pretty accurate / neat.

Once I eventually get this I'll post some screenshots as well. I plan to buy the SS as soon as I can in game, even if its not the best decision "in game" hahaha.

Anyone pick this up yet? how is it?

EDIT:

sorry for links, but the site wont let me hotlink the images...

 

its good for the time attack stuff in the game. its a tier 1 car.

 

why do they not have the TC though? better suspension, brakes, and handleing!

 

when u pick up the stage 1 upgrade it becomes the ss/tc..rims and all lol

 

that's slick! got to get this!

 

the ss/sc has been in NFS for a while now.

 

These should work:

I just played this last night, I thought it was cool how accurate the interior looks... it also has a freaking supercharger whine!


although for some reason the stats say 260 horsepower when you first buy it...

 

supposed to be stage 3 so when you upgrade you become a TC from LSJ to LNF

 

Okay I have it. You have 260 hp/tq out of the box. People say when you do stage 1 it looks like a TC, its not. TSW or something like that rims which looks like a TC come with stage 1

I have all the upgrades on the SC and have about 4xxhp and 4xxtq stage 3 and all.

My only beef is the damn speedo is in KMPH. Stupid cheap ass ea, also the box and booklet have different langs in there as well. I just want the speedo to be MPH. Oh well, thats were Forza and GT come in for!

 

ultimate question.. is it worth 60 bux when forza 3 is gonna pop out soon??

 

To kill time til forza or gt yes.

Here are specs for full stage 3 SC. Mind you I refuse to use cheater juice.

HANDLING: Stage 3
WEIGHT: 2,480lbs
HP: 406
TQ: 413
TOP SPEED: 181MPH
0-60: 3.40
0-100: 7.40
Brake 60-0: 3.31

Again all items installed minus the juice, increase boost and seam welded chassis

 

I'm not really big into gaming....but that is badass! judging by the graphics i'd say you guys are talkin PS3 right?

 

So its a forza wannabe game now? Scissor.

 

EA games is in Vancouver BC, hence the canadian speedo and boost gauge.

 

What game systems is this for? Does it play on PC?

 

all consoles and ya pc should be out just look at ebgames

 

Yeah, I said to myself after asking that I could have just looked it up in a few moments... Sorry for the post whoring...

 

Booo-uuurrrnnnss

 

Funny I'm damned near fully upgraded and all I hear is the whine of the SC; they showed they had slim to no knowledge of the car

1. '05 design with badge location on doors
2. HP and TQ numbers of the TC with the LSJ installed (my TC doesn't whine like that )
3. SC upper front grill, no lower front grill
4. Stock steering wheel from '05/'06 models

The one thing they did get very right is the huge gap in 1st to 2nd gearing, it's even painful in a game for god's sake

 

My only beef is the damn speedo is in KMPH. Stupid cheap ass ea, also the box and booklet have different langs in there as well. I just want the speedo to be MPH.


go to your driver profile and select imperial for measurment. then it will be in mph!

ps3 ftw!!!

 

yes its out for the PC - I havent picked it up yet myself, but all reviews seem promising. I'm a die hard sim racer so I'm very eerie of a need for speed game, but its the same dev team as the GTR games. Most early reviews indicate garage tuning has pretty good / realistic effects - not the best, but still very believable for how a real car responds.

I cant wait to run it 1680x1050 with a logitech momo and the 5.1 cranking though lol. The hard part is deciding between $50 now or $30 on down later haha.

I'm finally growing weary of nr2003 season, my tribute racing game since...well...2003 haha. It seems to have an interesting mix.

And yes the car is far from perfect, but its still neat they included it among a swarm of mostly high class cars most of us can never afford or even have access to. props regardless in my opinion.

 

Wow, that's my exact PC set up. I am used to playing racing sims like rFactor, GTR, GT Legends, GT FIA Racing, etc.. So I have to agree with you, I am wary of a NFS-based game.

Greatest thing with racing sims on the PC is people making real life tracks that I've raced on before. Back when I got on road courses more often I'd spend the week before racing in the video game So very helpful and fun!

 

we (me and my friends) recently started playing a remake of a local shorttrack that was remade for the game (nr2003)...its so much fun haha. the real killer is trying to get good setups. our competetion comes from the fact that the sky is the limit and were constantly trying to one up eachother. i usually get 2 setups going...1 for the fastest laps possible to drive my buds nuts during practice and happy hour and for qualifying...but I'll also make a setup that will hold steady for 40+ laps for actual race time and not kill tires after 5 laps lol.

youre lucky if you got to take it out on the real tracks haha...cant say ive done that though. Ive helped enough shorttrack late model racing to know that nr2003 gets it pretty right for left turn racing though haha.

i just cant accept consoles if for nothing else than mods and maps and tracks and so on lol. hopefully that will come with NFS shift in time too...

 

I wasn't to into this game after playing the Forza 3 demo. There is a huge difference in handling and feel of the cars. I'm just not feeling the NFS titles anymore.
