Need for Speed: ProStreet will take the Need for Speed series in a new direction of gameplay Instead of an arcade style of gameplay which has dominated the series, ProStreet will focus much more on realism and move closer to, but not into, racing simulation, and still with options to use driving assistants to make driving easier and more arcade-like Unlike its predecessors, all racing in ProStreet will take place on closed tracks, thus making it the first game in the series not animating illegal racing behaviour, hence there will not be any police in the game Performance tuning will take up a large part of gameplay in a way that even a small adjustment of the shape of a cars body will impact its performance Autosculpt is back from Carbon, but with much greater detail According to an Electronic Arts employee, there will be thousands of aftermarket upgrades, visual and performance, from real performance brands [3]
In ProStreet there will be four different game modes, including Drag, Grip, Speed, and Drift Drag race is simply a 14-mile drag race, the first to cross the finish line wins Grip race, which is a circuit race, you do whatever you need to do, to cross the finish line first Block your opponent, ram them, or even smash them off the track Speed challenge is all about speed and control, you need to pass the checkpoints with highest possible speed, and the racer with the highest total checkpoint speed wins In drift, you drift to emerge as the driver with the most points scored in the event
Drag racing comes with several new features Firstly, the racers are given a 10 second time limit to perform a burnout where they must keep their revs in a sweet spot for as long as possible to get maximum grip in the race A 25% grip increase is considered a poor burnout, and 50% increase is considered a good burnout, and a 75% increase is considered an incredible burnout There is also the presence of the traditional Christmas tree drag lights, and false starts are possible Also, unlike previous games, you have free control of your steering, and you do not tap the arrow keys to change lanes one by one
The game also provides the option of turning on or off driving aids such as traction control and ABS It also gives players the correct racing line to follow
ProStreet will feature next-generation graphics aiming for a more photo-realistic feel, and more advanced physics It will also be the first Need for Speed game to include damage modelling since 2000s Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed The new damage system is said to be very accurate, as a collision with any object in the game world may render a car damaged or even useless [3]
Also, in accordance to the fact that Autosculpting any body parts will impact performance, these changes can be tested in an enclosed chamber marked as the Wind Tunnel Your car is placed in the Wind Tunnel and artificial winds are created, giving you your performance on the track You can use this to tune your car to your liking
The new ProStreet will also feature an advanced damage system, which will directly impact on your cars performance, unlike previous Need for Speed titles This is especially significant in the Speed racing mode, as you can easily total your car
Cars
There is over 60 cars from around 26 manufactures included in ProStreet Only eight of these are supercars, making them relatively rare, as in real life The game will also feature the new Nissan GT-R
