Oh just disable the music and have Winamp playing on the background, it's not that hard.
PES is about to come out and we discuss the cover. NFS is about to come out and we discuss the soundtrack. *sigh* It's not an action/adventure/strategy game that requires good instrumental music to enhance the atmosphere.

Well, the drifting mode IS a huge improvement over past installments. It even looks better in action that NFS:U and NFS:U2. Plus, with all Driving Aids off, it won't be just keeping the accelerator down and turning the car.

It's not delayed until an official announcement has been made. Take a look here.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?ie=UTF8&keywords=need%20for%20speed%20prostreet&tag=nfsplanet-20&index=videogames&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325
The PC, X360, PS2 and DS release dates are the same, October 30th. PS3, PSP and Wii have had their releases delayed. And that's still only Amazon.
EDIT: Here's a good list of more videos (some posted here, some not, all kind of older) from NFSUnlimited. They're all low quality flashes, but the watermarks should give you a good idea of what site to visit to get the nice looking versions.
http://www.nfsunlimited.net/prostreet/videos
EDIT 2: Seems like Amazon has updated all its release dates after all. *sigh* I can only hope it's delayed so that they can iron out any outstanding bugs.

It is official, although I've decided to add the smaller, non-watermarked one that's on Amazon.

I too believe that UG, UG2 and Carbon were mainly targeted towards boys and girls enthused by the FnF movies, and I much rather prefer the approach MW and Pro Street took to the game.
I don't get why you'd believe that Pro Street is all about "stupid nitros" and only "stupid kiddies" would like it. From what I've seen in the videos it seems like a worthwhile installment that had work put into it (unlike, say, Carbon), and once retail comes out, we'll see what it's worth.
I would only understand if you're one of those people that believe that "t3h tunerz" scene is for kids and stupid people, while "exotics" are where it's at for serious people. I've played most of the older Need For Speed games, before they were about tuners, and I liked them a lot, however, for some reason, I feel there's much more content and involvement and things to do with some of the games of the tuner series.
I too would like it if Pro Street was very much a worthwhile game and EA would go back to its roots, making something with exotic routes to drive on and many exotic cars. I wouldn't mind if they had a few tuner cars as well, as long as they had classes and wouldn't allow a mere Punto to beat a Murcielago.

Just look at the drifting for gods sake.. if they want people to take them seriously they better step up.. I was really looking forward to this pos game because i was hoping since it has a new engine and all they would have made the handling and stuff at least NORMAL i think realistic is too much to ask anyway but nooo they just had to skip that part so they can get their filthy money faster. End of rant =D and why the fuck do i get red lines under most of my words? is it some feature with firefox?

OT: Yes, it's called spell-checking, and it's done automatically by Firefox.
Well, I don't know. I can't quite see what's wrong with the drifting in Pro Street. For one, it's nothing like Carbon's, and for me it's even better than UG and UG2. I saw such drifts being done in an episode of Top Gear, when the japanese crew came over and drifted on the track. It's not like they're going with 270KM/h like in Carbon. It seems like pretty much normal handling to me.
Maybe you're more experienced regarding realistic handling and drifting, so I rest my case. My personal opinion after every video I've watched is that this game seems lots better than any other installment so far in every single part of it. The only thing I'll miss is Free Ride.

Ahh, it's called driving assist. That's why drifting looks so easy, you can turn them off if you want...

The release delay has been officialy confirmed.
http://forums.ea.com/mboards/thread.jspa?threadID=288055&tstart=0
November 14th, 2007.
EDIT: To clear up some things about drifting...
| IGN wrote: | Drifting has also returned, though its differences are found underneath the hood. The development team started from scratch with the game's physics engine so drifting feels a fair bit different than what we saw in Carbon. Cars feel much heavier and more powerful, giving you better feedback while also not feeling like they're sliding around on ice. Scoring is still on a speed vs. angle basis rather than the types of drift maneuvers you perform, though you do get bonuses if you begin a drift with nitrous or can manage to put a long string together.
To help newcomers with drifting, there will be multiple levels of assists for these race types. On the most basic level, all you need to do is steer and play with the gas while drifting. Correctional assists will keep your car from spinning out too much, though also limit how far sideways you can push your car. When you start taking these assists away, you'll be able to play with the clutch for more maneuverability and be able to get your car sliding at insane angles, though this'll obviously take much more skill behind the wheel. |

Leo, grab Opera and go to IGN's site, and download some HD videos regarding Juiced 2. It looks really, really promising. I just hope it is controllable without a wheel. First Juiced was something like Sega Rally in terms of handling.
IGN says September 21st as a release date for Juiced 2 in Europe for PC, whatever happened to it?
EDIT: Amazon.co.uk will start selling the PC version on the 28th, so it's just a few days away.

Er... No, but Opera doesn't support IGN's right-click protection on Insider links, so you can download all their HD videos for free, without being an IGN insider.
