There we could get a first look at the game and even could play a pre-alpha version. As far as I have seen, Need for Speed Pro Street is somewhat different than any other Need for Speed you know. If you think this is an add-on of any previous title of the series – it isn’t. NFS Pro Street is different; it has a totally new driving experience, new game modes and new features. With this title EA wants to shift up street racing to the next level. The most important change is that the whole game takes place in closed tracks. EA did a lot of research on this and this is where the culture in real life is going, an aggressive street racing with almost no rules, taking place on closed roads without any cops or traffic. The game is already in development for almost 2 years and there are going to be some significant changes. Basically, the main new features are damage, physics and smoke. All three things are highly evolved, but I’ll get to that later. Damage: What cops and traffic did in earlier NFS games to make it harder for you to finish the race, is now done by damage. The game is all about damage, you have to watch out, that you don’t wreck your car, because repairing is expensive and you might not be able to use it for a while. This time the damage is not just scratches and bumps…this time you could wreck your car completely, so that you aren’t even able to finish the race. I watched it in action, and the damage model looks really amazing…far more realistic than what I’ve ever seen before! Bumpers and tires can fall off, windows break, hoods fly away and based on the material (metal, glass, plastic or carbon) it gets scratches or breaks. All the damage is calculated on-the-fly, so it doesn’t look always the same. It even depends on how fast you hit a wall, the car will be damaged based on many parameters. And the best thing is: the damage will affect your performance. The more you crash your car, the slower you will get. If you crash your car too much, the race is over. Since repairing does cost some money, you might want to spend most of it to build in new parts to the engine and what is under the hood, than repairing the outside. It’s still street racing, so it actually would look cooler, if you don’t have a shiny new car without scratches, but a car where everyone knows that you already raced with it. We’ll see how this works out once the game steps further in development. Locations: The tracks in Need for Speed Pro Street are based on locations, which exist in the real world. EA did a lot of research and took many photos to make the tracks look as realistic as possible. As the player you travel all around the world to participate at the race events, which take place all over the world. Each event is hosted by different organizations, so it will always have a different style. It’ll play even a different music style, depending on which event you participate, but I’ll talk about that in the music section. Game modes: There are 4 game modes in Need for Speed Pro Street: GRIP, Drift, Drag and Speed Challenge. For every game mode, you will have your personal car, which is perfectly balanced for this type of race. EA didn’t talk much about the game modes in the game, but so far GRIP will be like the circuit mode, where you race a certain number of laps. The drift mode will be different than in NFS Carbon, because of the new car physics. To extend accessibility, Electronic Arts built in “assists”, which will help you steering the car and staying on the track. If you turn off all the assists, it’s more for the hardcore gamers and the game will be more like simulation – it is more real. The drag mode returns, but there is no information yet, what will be different. The new game mode is called Speed Challenge, which is mainly a really long track, where you can push your car to the limits. At highest speeds you race down a straight road, with almost no curves. But once you try to steer, you have to watch out not to get off the road, because that high speed can be dangerous… Driving: I could try the Nissan 350Z on the Infineon Raceway and I have to say (although I really sucked driving this track) it was really fun. You have the possibility to drive with assists on or off. I like the feeling of simulation games, so when you switch all assists off, the car is not easy to handle and it’s more realistic, due to the new physics. It doesn’t feel anymore like you’re driving a tank, as it was on the last Need for Speed games. This time you can drive the way you like. If you are more the “arcade-style” guy, you can just turn the assists on, and it is easier to drive, just as you’re used to it from older NFS titles. Need for Speed Pro Street still stays between an simulation- and arcade-game and this is how it should be. A big affect on the driving experience will have the customization, but I will get to that later. Cars: It is typical for Need for Speed, that the game consists of licensed cars and so it is also this time. There will be more cars than in any other Need for Speed games. Unfortunately I can’t talk about the car list yet, but there will be cars from around 26 manufacturers. From all these cars, there will be 8 “super-cars”, which you will be able to tune to the high-end. If you don’t like all the these eight super-cars, you are free to take a lower-end car and tune it up, so that you can compete with the better cars. In the end, it’s all about your driving and the tuning combinations, you build in your car. More about that under “customization”. Customization: The customization is a big part in Need for Speed Pro Street. For once, you have the visual styling with Autosculpt, we already know from NFS Carbon. But this time it’s much more detailed and you can autosculpt almost any part of the car. And the best thing is: The visual tuning of your car will affect the performance! So you should think about the practical sense of how you design your car, because of the new physics engine, every modification will affect the performance. It’s not only about the look anymore. For this reason EA built in for example a wind tunnel, where you can test your new car design, if it fits your needs. It’s a pretty cool feature, which I’m definitely going to use. Apart from the visual tuning you have the performance tuning. As with Autosculpt also performance tuning is far more detailed than before. To extend accessibility, EA introduced different layers of modifications. On the first layer, the “arcade-style” people can upgrade their cars by just using predefined upgrade packages. If you want to go deeper though, there is a whole world of possibilities. You can change almost everything, parts of the engine, brakes, tires…there are 90+ individual part slots and 30+ tuning variables. You can modify your car in a way, that it fits exactly your needs. You can build in plenty of aftermarket parts, and each will affect the performance of your car in a different way. You have the possibility to test your car on a dyno though, and you’ll get a graphical feedback, so that you can find the best combinations of parts. Since there is so much concentration on the customization, EA introduced a new feature called “blue prints”. You don’t have to build in every part you want immediately; you can save your tuning combinations as a blue print. So you can create your ideal combination of parts, and only if you apply the blue print to your car, they’re going to be built in. Graphics: I played only a pre-alpha version, so I can’t say very much about the graphics, but I can let you know, that it’ll be very detailed. The cars are designed to look more photo-real, not as in NFS Carbon. Each car has about 15.000 to 20.000 polygons, and they really look good. The lights reflects as it should, even based on the material, and as you already saw on the trailer, the damage model is very detailed too. The car models are real titbits for racing fans. A big new graphical feature in this game is the smoke! In almost every racing game, the smoke the tires make looked very primitive or are even 2D textures. From what I saw at EA of NFS Pro Street, the smoke looks damn good. Especially when doing a burnout or drifting around it’s very important that it feels as real as possible. And it really does with the smoke, which was made with Shader Model 3.0. We will see how it will look like with older graphic cars on the PC – the next-gen consoles can handle the graphical features very well so far. The system requirements for PC will definitely be higher than for Carbon or any other racing game lately, but we’ll know more about that as the development evolves. Music: As in every Need for Speed game the music is very important. This time EA got Junkie XL to create some tracks, which are playing during the game. Depending on which event you’re participating, you’ll listen to different music styles, like for example Hard Rock, Techno, Electronic or Punk. These styles are connected with the organizations, who set up these events. Apart from Junkie XL there will be also other music from licensed artists. Overall Opinion: Honestly, I was quite surprised, when I heard that there won’t be any open world, that there won’t be even public roads and everything will take place on closed race tracks. But EA affirmed that NFS Pro Street has nothing to do with NASCAR or F1, it’s no simulation and it’s still the street racing you do with normal cars you can drive yourself on the streets. It’s still the aggressive racing style and once I saw the damage and the really high level of customization, my doubts have been blown away. You could modify almost anything and this weighs out together with the damage model the lack of police and traffic. Let’s say, I think EA did the right step and I’m already looking forward to take a look at the game, once it is more developed.

With four games released in four years, no one is more aware of the potential for franchise fatigue than the team at Electronic Arts Black Box in Vancouver. Rather than unleash yet another neon-lit street racing variant, senior producer Mike Mann and his team have set about redefining the game, and pointing it in a completely new direction. The result? "It's all about authentic street racing," Mann declares. "The Fast and the Furious vibe is dated, and the culture has matured. ProStreet is a reflection of that." In order to really change its approach, the studio essentially split in two after the release of Need for Speed: Most Wanted. Half of the team went onto address Electronic Arts' insatiable need for annual sequels, iterating on technology where it could. The result, Need for Speed: Carbon, was successful but criticized for being "Most Wanted at night, with sexier cars and stylized visuals." While these guys bore the brunt of the gaming community's "Hey, why do you have to squeeze one of these things out every year?" questions, the other half of the Need for Speed crew had the luxury of extra time to reimagine the franchise and take it in a new direction. "We had a lot of success with the street racing thing," says Mann, "and we wanted to keep the new game tied to that philosophy, but we wanted to show how it's evolving, and how we see things moving over the next few years." The core of this has been to pull away from the illicit side of the culture, and explore the "evolution of professionalism within street racing," as Mann puts it. "It's less about the 'bling' and 'zing' and more about performance now," explains producer Mark Little. "We wanted to show that the way these guys are racing has changed," he enthuses. "It's still raw and emotional like the stuff you'd see on the streets, but now that there's more power and crazier speeds, there's a need for more discipline and more control." "The maturation of the culture mirrors what we've seen in both the skateboarding and snowboarding scenes," Mann explains. "The popularity has meant that it can't stay underground forever, and we're seeing this stuff completely change the way motor sports are organized and presented. It's all tied in with the way youth culture keeps reinventing things and putting a new spin on conventions," he enthuses. "Traditional racing is dry and too clinical. Formula One and NASCAR aren't aspirational because they're so exclusive by their very nature. The cost of entry is prohibitive, and even if you have the skill there's no way for an average person to prove that." So how does ProStreet reflect this? "The game is all set in the real world, for a start," Little tells us. "It's all set in real, iconic locations from around the globe that are associated with the scene we're exploring. So on one hand you have Daikoku Futo near the Bay Bridge in Yokohama, which is one of the most popular meeting areas in the world for street racers, and on the other we have tracks like the Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, California." To explain his point, Little loads up an early build of the game to show us how Infineon will look. "The whole game is wrapped around multidisciplinary race weekends, which have more of a festival vibe. It's like a big show," he explains. "These weekends are focused on four types of racing: drag, drift, speed, and grip. Drag racing was switched out for drifting in Need for Speed: Carbon because we felt we'd done everything we could do with that particular gameplay mechanic at the time, and drifting was becoming increasingly fashionable. Now that we've had some time to work on it, we feel we've really found a way to handle drag in a different way. In ProStreet you're really going to be able to feel what it's like to put down all that power and blast away from the line." "Drifting has been completely reworked too," Little says, smiling, as he takes a stock Mazda RX-7 around the first bend at Infineon. As he hurtles into the first left-hand bend, he flings the car sideways and slides it gracefully through the curve. "In the past we kept the drift challenges to more confined areas, but now it's much open and we let you really get a feel for the flow of this kind of racing." "Speed racing is exactly what you'd think it is from the name," he grins. "It's about taking stupidly, crazily powerful vehicles out in the desert and just tearing it up. These things are 800 hp or more, and they're just insane." The gearheads among you might be familiar with "Big Red," the legendary 1969 Camaro built by R.J. and Dan Gottlieb in 1987 that destroyed the pack at the second running of the Silver State Classic in 1989 by devouring the 94 mile course in 27 minutes and 54 seconds, at an average speed of 197.99 mph and a radar-recorded top speed of 222 mph. Though Big Red itself doesn't make an appearance in ProStreet, you are encouraged to develop something in its spirit. Although the Black Box guys are reluctant to confirm a specific car list beyond the inclusion of Porsche vehicles and the RX-7 that appears in many of the early press materials, it seems likely we'll be able to play with some old-fashioned American muscle so we can develop something equally manly. One thing Mann will tell us is that ProStreet has "the largest car list we've ever had, with over 25 manufacturers represented," and when pressed on the balance of exotics versus more attainable cars, he reveals that "there are only eight supercars this year." So what's grip racing? "It's what the culture is calling its version of circuit racing, basically," Little tells us. "Much like the other disciplines, it breaks from the conventions and is much more aggressive than traditional racing. You see a lot of rubbing the walls and rubbing other cars." Which brings us nicely to what will no doubt be one of ProStreet's most celebrated features: damage. We're starting to see damage handled in more and more realistic ways in new-gen racing games (both Forza 2 and DiRT feature it prominently and proudly), but ProStreet is the most convincing we've seen yet. Rather than simply make it so graphics change when you crunch into something, the EA Black Box team has built a physics-based procedural damage system, which means that cars scrape and crumple based on what they were hit by and with what force. Clip another car on a corner and see a body panel dent or become detached. Whack something really hard and the body will deform just like the real thing. "We knew we wanted to do something special with damage," says Little. "It's absolutely the single most requested thing we hear from gamers, and we wanted this to be a real 'next-gen' approach. In the vast majority of games out there, developers show damage by switching out parts of the model or tweaking the art. You can do that if you know exactly what the car looks like to start with, but because we have the Autosculpt feature that we pulled in from Carbon, we don't have that luxury. Conceivably, every car can be completely unique, so we needed to come up with a way of deforming the car procedurally." The result is incredibly convincing, as it's far subtler than attempts we've seen elsewhere. Paint scrapes off, metal buckles, glass cracks before it shatters, and panels can dangle precariously if the impact isn't hard enough to pop them off completely. But it isn't just crumpled metal and broken glass that makes things look convincing; Mann is keen to stress that the dirt and grime of racing is an important part of the vibe that hasn't been adequately conveyed in any games before. "Something you don't realize from just playing games is how much smoke there is," he tells us. ProStreet will go a long way to rectify this by rendering realistic clouds of noxious tire and exhaust fumes using a clever combination of volumetric particle effects and fancy lighting. The result is something that looks remarkably realistic and not like the painted-on effects we've seen in games like Project Gotham Racing or Gran Turismo. This stuff dissipates just like the real thing. To demo the effect, Little swings the camera around to the side of the RX-7 and lights up the tires. As he nails down the power, wisps of smoke start to swirl near the contact patch of the tire and slowly get sucked into the wheel well. As the volume of smoke increases, the rotation of the wheel sucks the smoke around, and you can see it vortex before it billows out and starts to obscure the rear of the car. Seen through the smoke, the car within appears out of focus and blurry, and eventually the tire is burning up so much that the whole screen is full of smoke. As Little lets off the gas, the smoke starts to clear and you see it quickly dissipate in a very realistic way. If there's a feature we're going to see copied by every racing game in 2008 and beyond, this is it. Though seemingly little more than a cute cosmetic addition, it adds tremendously to the vibe of ProStreet and actually evolves into an important gameplay mechanic. One-on-one drift races take on a whole new dynamic when your opponent hits a corner first and lights up his tires so much that you can't see the road ahead. The team is understandably enthusiastic about what it has achieved so far, but there is still much about ProStreet yet to be revealed. Specific information about car lists, additional track locations, and, most significantly, the online gameplay modes is being withheld until later in the year, with a steady flow of information planned between now and the game's expected release date in November.
