adding Wii to the platforms list, if nobody has a problem with it.

Can somebody get a picture of the logo (as seen on the official page)?

I know that there is a disclaimer at the top of the page about Information of a speculative nature, but I feel that the release date should not be stated as being 1st November 2006 just because EBGames says thats when it is coming out. The product hasn't even been Officially anounced yet... rewording...

The above comment was by me Pretender2j 06:04, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removed Dodge Viper and Toyota Supra as they have not appeared in official screenshots. The videos do not confirm anything as they can match several cars.

What happened to the seperate Official and Unofficial sections under the Carlists heading? ALOT of the cars that are now in the 'Official' list have not been confirmed to be included in Carbon. The citation for the carlist is a news piece on the official NFS website which clearly does not mention alot of the cars that are on the list. *(If no one has any objections I will be changing the two lists back. Or if anyone else thinks it is a good idea I will rewrite the whole section to make possibly three lists, officially confirmed, confirmed by image/video, speculated.)* See below. Pretender2j 05:07, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually scrap speculated from the last sentence it's already seperate ;) Pretender2j 05:08, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An even better idea, I'm going to move all Unofficial cars to speculated because as the Speculated section says 'Cars that have been seen in images or hints found across the Internet.' Pretender2j 05:14, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Added with a link to the screenshot proving it.

I hope they do not cancel online gaming for the PlayStation 2 version like Need For Speed: Most Wanted! If they do, Electronic Arts is going to pay the price and I do hope they put 2 more opponents like Burnout Revenge. Best Gamer

Online gaming nowadays is a necessity. PS2 must have online gaming enabled all the way through, or sales of the PS2 version won't be that bright. — Vesther (U * T/R * CTD) 04:35, 12 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Even though i don't have online capabillities, I think its obvious the online play is what underground such a success

I've put up a citation link regarding about this "Nikki" that Emanuelle play--very chilly plot I'm seeing. Is Emanuelle going to be playing an "evil chick" for the first time in her life? I'm thinking that Nikki is supposed to be evil (much like Razor was evil in NFSMW). Anyway, please check out the citation and tell me what you think. — Vesther (U * T/R * CTD) 02:16, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I hope this NFS: Carbon includes something like Be the cop , as in NFS: HP 2. MarioV 22:43, 31 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wish they would allow you to be a cop, too...and I still miss the old split screen gaming...comes in handy. the_paccagnellan 12:49, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

what i want to know is i have a positive feeling there will be police in the game to chase you, but.... Is the game going to be like the last two, free roaming capabillities, i only ask becasue i have played the demo and im worried because i can't see any evidence to sugest this, mind out that the demo doesn't show the main menu.There should be police in there because need for speed most wanted has a police.have you got burnout revenge? if you don't get it because it's quite good.POSTED ON NOVEMBER 16TH 2006.

anyone one that might know plz post back

I've got a hold of the game, and Yes, It is Free Roaming like the last two. Churba 16:16, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If Electronic Arts continue to avoid online gaming for the PlayStation 2 version, they will pay the consequences if the online is not set for the PlayStation 2 version. By the way, to be honest, I want anyone to know the difference between the PS2 version and the PS3 version. Will PlayStation 3 team up with PlayStation 2 or not? Best Gamer 12 September 2006

Er... don't get me wrong but the image for that car looks very much like a Porsche 911, rather than a Porsche Carrera GT. Or it could be the Cayman S. The Cayman S and Carrera GT are linked to the same image.

http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/image/article/727/727503/need-for-speed-carbon-20060823092303451.jpg would be the Carrera GT (on the right)

Why would exotic cars must be upgraded? How come the exotic cars did'nt go over 200mph?? Please, give me an explanation! The exotic cars and concept cars are supposed to go over 200mph! Best Gamer 17 September 2006

They should make at least 1 bodykit available for the exotics. This would be the same bodykit used in the racing version of the specific car (eg. Aston Martin DBR9 aero parts for street DB9) --HashiriyaGDB 14:56, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm looking at you Best Gamer. If you want to talk about Carbon go chat with people at the official NFS forums . The discusion page is not for asking questions about Carbon, it is for discusion of the article it is connected to. It is also not for commenting or expressing your opinion of the game (or whatever the connected article is about). Pretender2j 04:04, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm terribly sorry about that, Pretender2j. I fear that the exotic cars are supposed to go over 200 mp/h. You understand me, right? Best Gamer 18 september 2006

Yes, Best Gamer I do understand what you are saying. The thing is the cars can go over 200mph. The Porsche Carrera GT in NFS: Most Wanted can go 241mph maybe a bit more I have actually tested this myself. The Lambourghini Diablo can go 247mph. There are many other cars that are not exotics that can go over 200mph like the Dodge Viper, the Chevrolet Corvette. In future if you want to chat about something like this can you NOT put it on a discusion page, like this one. You seem like a smart guy cause you can work Wikipedia correctly so why not join up to the official Need for Speed Forums. Thanks Pretender2j 01:38, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wait. When I tested out the Lamborghini Gallardo, it only reached up to 192 mph. What I mean that I'm afraid two things. Not all exotic cars can go over 200 mph and if Electronic Arts backstab the PS2 fans again, Electronic Arts may get in a dangerous situation. Also, the exotic cars' body kits are not mean't to be changed. Like in Midnight Club 3, the players can't change body kits because they're exotic cars, but changing rims are neccesary. Anyway, I'll go check out the forums. Best Gamer 21 September 2006

Are you sure about that? 192mph is only a bit over 300k\ph the Gallardo can go at least 340k\ph (with upgrades) which is more like 210mph. Maybe you didn't have a long enough straight? or you didn't use NOS? About the body kits, if you don't want to put a body kit on your exotic car you don't have to! If EA didn't allow you to put body kits on exotic cars there would be alot of other people complaining, the same way you are. The way they have worked it out is the best. They have body kits for people who want them, and if you don't want them you don't have to put them on. Oh and by the way, a REAL Lambourghini Gallardo can only go 196mph. Look at the Lambourghini website. Pretender2j 05:15, 22 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Stock exotic cars don't always reach 200mph, even modern ones. The Gallardo is an example, as is the Maranello (199mph) and others. Many exotics do exceed 200mph, like the Ferrari Enzo, Carrera GT, Diablo, Ford GT, Saleen S7, Bugatti Veyron (252mph), and Chrysler ME-412 Concept (248mph+). The stock Viper (my favorite car) cannot reach 200mph due to aerodynamic limitation, but a new Viper goes into production this January which will likely be significantly more powerful. Are we talking about top speeds after performance upgrades, or stock, though? Don't forget that while many exotics are run stock, there are companies that do performance work on some of them. the_paccagnellan 12:57, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anything Else said that it is supposed to release the Need For Speed: Revenge, but this is one of his false rumors. There is no game called Need Fpr Speed: Revenge. I believe his jokes are badly ever been made. Electronic Arts never makes the game called a game that combines both Burnout Revenge and Need For Speed: Underground 2, plus Need For Speed: Most Wanted. I believe thhat his "brilliant ideas" became a harsh joke. Professional Gamer 3 November 2006

Large sections of this article are very badly written. I'm going to try and work on it over the next few days to raise the quality. Si hablas español, contribuir por favor a la versión española del wikipedia. Pretender2j 06:04, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have heard two different release dates for Carbon, the 1st of november is the date from EA's official website, but I went down to my local game store and found out the they have been given the 3rd of november, Im pretty sure its obvoius now but the release will deffinatly be in november, ROLL ON NOVEMBER!!!! ŮŇĤÔĻÝ ĎŔÁĜÔŃ ĶÌŃĜ

I am suprised that no-one has added it yet bet I will write a brief story outline as detailed on the NFS website in this video.

Edit by 220.245.248.70 changed 240SX to 300ZX when it is obviously a 240SX.

Aditions by 218.186.8.12 contain many unverified claims, that if included would need to be rewritten anyway. Due to these claims being fairly substantial in relation to major aspects of the game I am placing them here until they can be verified and (hopefully) rewritten.

There are no daytime missions whatsoever.

(the collision has been turned off specifically for those races).

However, instead of racing your way up the Black List by defeating 10 bosses, there are now only 4, each controlling a particular territory that you have to conquer piece by piece in street racing. Conquering territories will unlock better car parts and performance cars.

He returns as a bounty hunter to collect on the player's head after the events in Most Wanted. However, he will not be the main antagonist but will appear only in the first mission.

BTW NFS:MW has 15 people on the Blacklist. (for 218.186.8.12)

Wait a minute, given that Nikki is an ex, she was supposed to be an antagonist because usually when women break-up with men, they usually want revenge. I'm shocked by what the article dictates through its citations, and given that Nikki won't be an antagonist, I'm gonna have to check the citation if Nikki is not going to be an antagonist, because I was insisting Nikki to be an antagonist. — Vesther (U * T/R * CTD) 14:11, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I highly appreciate if someone can help Wikipedia beautify the citation and make it an encyclopedical reference if by all means possible, as I have to say that the citation is nothing but vague at this time. Thanks. — Vesther (U * T/R * CTD) 01:27, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Someone (220.245.248.70) keeps changing the 240SX to a 300ZX in the speculated cars. To me the image clearly shows a 240SX but I will provide so pics to verify this. Here is a 300ZX and here is a 240SX and then here is the image in question 240 or 300? I think it's pretty clear. If you (220.245.248.70) want to add the 300ZX then by all means do! Make sure you provide a citation aswell. Pretender2j 02:11, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's definately a 240SX next to a koenigsegg ccx

To Pretender2J Look at the headlights on the 300ZX they are the same as the headlights in the screenshot. A 1992 240SX has flip up head lights.you obviously don't know your cars because it is so obvious that it is a 300ZX From the guy who keeps editing the page PattersonChEnEy (it's obvious you don't know your cars, see below Pretender2j 12:05, 17 October 2006 (UTC))[reply]

But in Underground 2 you could change the lights and it would look exactly the same as this. The 300ZX is shorter than the car shown. Pretender2j 07:34, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a 240SX from Underground Image You see that it has the same NON-popup lights. Pretender2j 07:43, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also a 300ZX has a MUCH rounder front Image. The car pictured Image has a realtivly square front. Pretender2j 07:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have noticed something that proves undeniably that the car shown here IS a 240SX. Notice on this picture of a real 240SX that the bonnet and the front bumper meet inbetween the lights. Notice also that in this picture of a real 300ZX the bonnet and front bumper meet at the bottom (or top) of the lights. Now compare this to the image in question. It is obvious which car it is. Pretender2j 12:02, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

All of this is irrelevant now as the image in question has been replaced. Pretender2j 23:00, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it could turn out that both the 300 and the 240 are in the game?

Thats what I have tried to tell you. But you were the one removing the 240SX and replacing it with the 300ZX. Pretender2j 10:09, 20 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Check out this! http://be-notorious.co.uk/ I think there's new songs!

Sorry its wrong I saw the Artist and Song...Sorry..

Downfoot1 11:08, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I actually wish they would bring back "split screen" multiplayer racing. There are many instances when running NFS on a computer when it would come in handy. When did they stop featuring it? the_paccagnellan 12:59, 29 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That would be nice but, paccagnellan the discusion page is for discusion of the article not for general chit-chat. Why don't you have a look at the official Need for Speed forums and ask EASmoothie about getting split-screen put back into the game.

This is spilt screen though, only for Consoles. 121.6.176.228 03:43, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

this is just to say that not many people know but there will be neons as some of the cars in videos have been sighted with that well known underglow, I will be very surprised if they don't have neons in this Need For Speed.

Prepare to be surprised - They're not in there. Churba 16:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Xbox360 playable demo was released to Xbox marketplace and the 2004 Lamborghini Gallardo, 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX MR Edition, and 1967 Chevrolet Camaro SS have been confirmed. As well as the 1999 Mazda RX-7 and 2006 Dodge Charger SRT-8.

Princessbill55 00:15, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cross has been confirmed to return, but there still no news about being the cop mode, sorry NFSHP fans :'( (me included)

It has been confirmed that there wil be an online 'be the cop' mode but as yet nothing about single player 'be the cop'. Pretender2j 10:14, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The car in the game is an Audi Le Mans Quattro as this is a different car to the production model Audi R8. There are some major differences that make the two cars different. The main one being the engine used. The Audi Le Mans Quattro uses a 5-litre V10 engine whereas the Audi R8 uses a 4.2 V8 engine. It would be like saying that a base model Porsche Carrera is the same as a Porsche GT3 RS. Pretender2j 02:34, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think anyone is debating the difference between the two cars. This is usually the case between concept and production. It should just be understood the Le Mans Quattro is strictly a concept car and is officially called the 2003 Audi Le Mans Quattro Concept as per official manufacturer press release. The R8 is the production version of the concept and is officially called the 2008 Audi R8. Roguegeek (talk) 00:37, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching my typo, Pretender2j, and changing "2004" to "2003". Roguegeek (talk) 17:28, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some more info to prove it is the Le Mans Quattro in carbon, appart from the fact that EA says it is the Le Mans Quattro.
The image in question
A Le Mans Quattro Concept at the Geneva Motor Show
An Audi R8 the production car]
And this the Audi R8, based on the Audi Le Mans, which was a concept car at the 2003 Geneva Auto Show. From the Wikipedia article about the R8. Firstly notice the pronounced LED headlights in the Le Mans and then they aren't there in the R8. The car in Carbon has the pronounced LED headlights. Also the width of the side rear-vision mirror stalk, which is noticbly thicker on the R8. I don't have an ingame picture to show this properly but I'll post it asap. Pretender2j 00:10, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The handheld version of NFS carbon will be called Need for Speed Carbon: Own the City. It should be made into a different article, because it is entirely different from the comsole version.

Someone made the mistake of saying the game features the "new Chevrolet Chevelle SS." Its actually the new 2009(8?) Camaro, not the Chevelle. Im changing it. Scryer_360 02:46, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the entire Minimum and Optimum requirements for the Persaonal Computer (PC). It's of no pratical use to the article. You may want to post it on StrategyWiki. Also, edited the 'Enviroment' section of the article. Ken20008 11:11, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, hardware requirements are permitted, in accordance to the computer and video games infobox (see {{Infobox CVG}} for list of available fields). We could put in at least the minimum or optimum performance specs in this article's infobox. It's very much underused in this respect. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 15:26, 1 November 2006 (UTC) ╫[reply]

Just one question guys The gallardo that the rival No. 6 of NFS: MW was using is a lamborghini gallardo Nera, right?

Nah, just a 'regular' Gallardo. Pretender2j 06:32, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But, i think we should check it carefully because, if we see that rival´s lambo, the ones who know about cars will notice that it looks like the lamborghini Gallardo Privilegio. Check the images, because I still think it´s not a "regular" gallardo.

Yes, it is, or why wouldn't it say so? The car that you would see in screenshots of MW is a Gallardo with a nonstandard body kit. That would be why it looks different. Where did you get these two names from anyway? Aside from the different rims the 'Nera' looks exactly the same as a 'regular' Gallardo. Same goes for the 'Privilegio'. How could these cars have been included with NFS:MW when the Nera was anounced over 7 months after MW was released. The 'Privilegio' has only just been anounced (as a 2007 model) nearly a full year after NFS:MW was released. It IS a 'regular' Gallardo. (please sign your comments) Pretender2j 13:31, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I was talking about the paint job the car has, but thanks anyway.

Well I did my best to try to update the article (diff) and I'll list some reasons in which I felt a change was appropriate

Intro:

• listing of specific predecessors unnecessary
• night-time racing reference obsolete
• demo link moved to external links

Game Info:

• original text obsolete

Environment:

• original text obsolete
• unnecessary information

Plot Outline:

• obsolete quote unnecessary with new plot outline

Characters:

• added new column

Rumors and Speculation:

• unnecessary information, now that the game is released

Official Cars

• deleted obsolete news article link
• Note with Honda irrelevent

Speculated Cars No changes to list as of now; if you find any of these cars in the game, please move the car to its appropriate spot in the section above.

References

• deleted section, as no references were found after the deletion of the Plot Outline quote

External Links

• added demo download link

Sorry for the long article, but i just dont want someone to complain that a certain secion of the article was deleted for no reason. --Aa35te 23:52, 6 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I found that spectated cars were located in the Carbon directory, but I have still yet to seen them in the game. Here's a screenshot of my Carbon directory [1]. You guys decide whether the cars are in fact in the game. --Aa35te 02:48, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Aa35te, which version of Carbon do you have? Pretender2j 13:34, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Collector's Edition --Aa35te 14:46, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The 1969 Plymouth Road Runner is in the game. I have the Collectors Edition, and it is in one of the Challenge Series events.

I took a screen shot of the Road Runner and replaced the current image with mine. --Aa35te 01:39, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article absolutely sucks. It disgusts me, since im a NFS fan. The game is already released, do something about it, like highlghting game play points. Just model it after Need For Speed: Most Wanted's article and that will do it. Cut out all the pre-release, spectulation sections, pre release interviews, all those crap. I would have updated the gameplay info, but i dont have the game and wont risk it. Ken20008 10:53, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I probed the history of edits on this article and apparently for some apparent reason the criticism is just way too biased and the two sentences are way too harsh. Definitely be careful about your edits because some of the tone of your edits may be a bit too harsh, and it may disgust some readers, so I appreciate if you guys watch the tone of your edits. As always, NPOV should be observed, but please, watch the tone of your edits because some edits might disgust certain readers. This clickable link will tell you why watching your edit's tone is just as important as keeping the article NPOV. — Vesther (U * T/R * CTD) 06:21, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't there be a part about the absence of Ferrari's in the game? LSky 08:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you did that you'd have to add it to every game that doesn't have Ferrari's in it. There is no real basis for it thought, as there is a minority of people that are Ferrari proponents and also play NFS and would like to see them included. It doesn't rate highly above other peoples requests for various cars to be included in the game. Pretender2j 13:20, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but there's been a trend: Ferrari hasn't appeared in the Need for Speed franchise since Hot Pursuit 2, which came out four years ago. In fact, Ferrari used to be a staple in the franchise, appearing in almost all game's and even making the cover art of atleast one game (II). After HP2 it has just suddenly disappeared.--Porsche997SBS 20:11, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you find an article explaining the Ferrari's absence, then by all means go ahead and add it. Otherwise, it would be just another useless trivia point.--Aa35te 22:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I dont know where an article is, but i assume that Ferrari's absenced is due to being more tuners in Underground and Underground 2, and the fact that police chases play more of a roll (and are unavoidable) in Most Wanted and Carbon. if you remember, in Hot Pursuit, High Stakes/Road Challenge and Hot Pursuit 2, Ferrari cars were locked at their request during any hot pursuit mode, because they didn't condone it.--Lynx Raven Raide 20:07, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ferrari dont like being in a lot of video games any more because they dont like to see cars of their brand get damaged.Nic Car Bel 00:28, 11 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not fixing it right away as I'm not absolutely sure - but Is the Camaro really an addition to the Series, considering It was in Most Wanted? Churba 16:22, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yo, why are the images of the cars stored off-site? They could be uploaded here (Wikipedia) couldn't they? SirronTheMighty 19:48, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is it really necassary to have all these external links to fan sites and such? Most video game articles have only links to the game's homepage and maybe a broad popular site like IGN or Gamespot. These links are unorganized and mainly superfluous. Three fansites and more than six cheat/review/info sites is just unnecessary. BeefJeaunt 20:24, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you find it unnecessary, delete them. --Aa35te 22:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My experience with deleting unnecessary information from Wikipedia such as long lists of fan links is that someone will inevitably revert my changes and say it was vandalism. Really the only one of those links that actually belongs here is the one for the official website, all the rest are fancruft. Once I clean this up I hope that the people who visit here have the decency to accept the edit.--Stranger Dan 01:27, 13 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK. I have a VERY SERIOUS question about the EA Trax. I keep looking at the control functions and I can't find ANYWHERE how to (or if you even can) change songs. I'm used to this with all of the previous Need For Speed games I've played, but I don't know about this game, since toggling the songs in gameplay seems to have an absence here. Now here's my main question: Can you, during gameplay, change to another song instead of supposedly being forced to listen to the songs in the order provided? And if so, how? Please respond quickly!! I really want to know ASAP!!!! Just_Nt1m3 22:39, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have seen the vehicle names marked with asterisks. Are they to download vehicles? Professional Gamer 22:41, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No their just in the collector's edition

If no one has any objections I'd like to take out the really pixelated, low-res shot of Cross's Corvette and replace it with my own one which I'll upload in a day. If you have any problems message me.

Just to add guys, I went through most of this article, excluding Soundtrack, Critical Reception and Conflicts with Vista, rewriting, rewording and rephrasing some very poor writing. I made sure I used more encyclopedic language then the previous editor and added some extra info and took out unnecessary incorrect details.

Also I will replace that picture of Cross's Corvette with a much better quality screenie in a day or two.

If their are any problems/issues, contact me, or at least please post here what your changing, I don't mind at all, I just want to know what needs to be changed or why that's all. Please don't start an edit war or undoing hard work for no reason; if you do be so kind as to tell me.

Thanks!! Hope I've improved the article somewhat, btw also if their are any issues with the new picture additions in the article as well, contact me too...

Some of the vehicles are not shown in the original ver. of Need For Speed: Carbon. Some of them are shown as "Reward Cards". Professional Gamer 01:05, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I hope nobody minds, but i am going to change the info about the Rotor4 crew. currently it has listed that they drive exotic cars, when they actualy primarily drive Mazda cars, hence the name.

I took out the GTO screen shot because it is not in the game. I put the police by the Monaro VXR area. EDIT: I didn't reaize that it was a bonus car, sorry about that. Baseracer 04:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

why do you compare the lambourgini to the audi? it's rather pointless, if your going to compare them compare a stock audi to a modified one. Not two different cars.Balmazer 02:22, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
