Need For Speed : Pro Street

On 31th May, EA announced the next release in the ever popular Need For Speed series ; named Pro Street. It will be available in November 2007(usual time of release for NFS series) on PC and major consoles.


Pro Street will bring a new breath of pure racing attitude to the gamers, reflecting the scenarios happening in the street legal racing. Yes, Pro Street will stay away from Fast And Furious style of racing and enter a much more realistic racing atmosphere. With that, Pro Street will also feature an almost 'sim-like' racing experience.

There are 3 major attracting points to Pro Street : DAMAGE, PHYSICS and SMOKE. Pro Street will feature 3 levels of damage which can effect your racing and is not limited to just visual damage only. The damage is also extended to the point where you might have to retire from a racing due to your car being totaled.


Physics in Pro Street is heavily lifted from the previous NFS series, up to the point where one might think that this is not an arcade racing game anymore. Where all driving assists are off, all that left are you and your car where your driving skills will determine whether you will cross the finish line or not. However, turning the driving assists on will return you to the arcade-like driving style, back to ol' NFS spirit.


One particular aspect that has been improved in Pro Street is the simulation of smoke. While one might argue this, the smoke realism will add to the adrenaline rush required by the game. There are swirling clouds of smoke engulfing your car and the area around you just like you see at the drag strip and the burnout competitions.


Another addition is the return of AutoSculpt and Dyno which have been improved greatly. Every changes you make to the car, either physically or visually will directly IMPACT the performance of your car. The inclusion of wind tunnel test with real-time physics demonstrate how Pro Street has gone very serious this time around.

Developed by the team which developed Most Wanted before, it is expected that Pro Street will mark another great addition to the Need For Speed series.
