Update #3:
6 minutes of gameplay.

I gave up on the Need for speed series a while ago. But I have to admit this looks like some "stupid fun" as they call it on the Bombcast.

The handling reminds me of Daytona on the Dreamcast a little, plus boosting on top. If only it feels half as good as that.

Looks fun, wonder how it will turn out when its done, I really like the idea of a variable AI depending on the situation. 

id rather play Crusing the USA on the n64

It's Cruis'n USA. I'd rather you went to play that also.

It looks alright, but why would you choose this game over the other racing games already out that seem to be better?  Wii alone has better racing games than this (seemingly), let alone other platforms.

I don't know, maybe they have some compelling reasons to choose this when it's actually complete and we get to see more than a single racing track/mode? How would continuous footage like this look any more interesting for any game that isn't over the top crazy like Excitebots, or isn't about crashing into shit like Burnout? It's racing... It either handles fun and has enough modes, cars and tracks to last a while, or it doesn't...

Personally I think it's all about the handling, that's the reason I loved Sega Rally in the Arcades and on the Saturn all those years ago, Daytona in the Arcades and on the Dreamcast, 4 Wheel Thunder (nothing like the crappy arcade game this) and Metropolis Street Racer on the Dreamcast. I'm not much into racers lately, other than the odd Trackmania United Forever run, but hasn't NFS always been arcadey?

I don't know about the voice overs, I guess it's possible the video makers fucked up. They were showing Spore Hero on another show (which looks pretty much like they took Spore and built an action adventure out of it, not bad but not great) and had Dead Space Extraction pop up as the game name, hah... Or they are putting such AI touches in this also, I see no "tack on" harm done, if it's even noticable during gameplay.

I thought the DC Daytona was very different to the original but very good all the same. It's not really a port.I have the first PSP Burnout, wasn't too interested after a while but yes, good game.

Some people had issues with the sensitivity on the DC Daytona but you can adjust it in the options. Personally, I liked the default setting. The visual style was great too, I still like how it looks actually... Bad quality video but oh well...

It sounds like guy is talking about a completely different game. "Authentic driver experience"... "physics"... please.

That looks really fun, I hate the whole look of it though, I want NFS to look realistic, not Mario Kart-ish.

Why isn't there a page about this game on GiantBomb?

Cuz I don't care for points. Make it :D

Oh snap! That's cool!

But does it have online?

2 minutes of gameplay. It now reminds me of SEGA's arcade racers in some ways... I doubt it will be as fun though.

i see why they made it cartoony but dam it Carbon was great fun on Wii in my opinion and that had some decent graphics (For Wii)

I don't want my Mustang to look like a hotwheels car, sorry , and i also dont want a Need for Speed/Mario Kart hybrid. They are two different games...

Some new videos... Trailer first. I was miffed there's no online but they have my interest with 4 player split screen, if the rest is good...
