First screens of Need for Speed Carbon DS

Yes, this clearly pushes the DS hardware to its limits. EA am masters of DS grafix!
You can be the biggest defender of the DS in the world and realize the system is not exactly a 3d powerhouse.
 
It can do 3D, but just don't do realistic 3D on it. Cartoon style 3D looks quite good IMO. Mario 64 DS, FF3, Zelda comes to mind.

But you can also see that the DS can do better than those screens.

If they wouldn't have to throw out several NFS games a year they could propably improve the engine...

Obviously not. But some of the reactions here imply that DS is outright UNPLAYABLE for 3D games and that it shouldn't even have them, which simply isn't true.

I suppose this

That

Is a horrible screen. Go find one with better quality.

By modern standards, yes, that is complete shit. The 3D visuals produced by the PlayStation are absolutely gabrage. They look decent in art design, but only if you can overlook the awful text and remember the age of the games.

As a 1998 game, MGS looked pretty decent...but as a 2006 game, it wouldn't even begin to fly.
 
The bottom screens look like those machines you find people hooked up to in a hospital not the interior of a car.

I almost choked on my carrot laughing at how ridiculously obvious it is what game they put more effort in

Anyways, it doesn't look very bad. DS can do very decent 3D, and these games look very nice and complete playable/viewable. I like the art style, and if it's the best they can do for now rushing them out every year, just wait till they actually take the time to make a beauty 3D game,.

It looks better than Most Wanted DS. Still blocky as **** though. I wonder why EA can't make the game look at least as good as NFS3 for PS1. The cars were a little blocky in that game, but they had good reflection mapping and the track environments were great.
 
i wonder if the people working on this game think about hanging themselves every morning instead of going to work.
 
Well, It has online (from the gamespot preview).. so maybe my friend will buy it because he likes racing games and EA crap.
If the gameplay is good and the online isn't crap I might just play it with my eyes closed.
 
I really dont care what western companies like EA have in mind for the DS. Theres more than enough good software coming out of Japan at the moment.

Are there any good western games on the DS? I've heard Tony Hawk is pretty decent but I cant think of any others.

it makes the pixels even brighter arrrgh
They should improve the ground texture here offcourse, but it makes the background at least a tiny bit appealing. Still doesn't fix the fugly car model
