Need for Speed Underground – interview

Op WarCry.com is vandaag een interview verschenen met Chuck Osieja, de Executive Producer van Need for Speed Underground. In dit interview promoot Chuck sterk de game; hij maakt er bijna een reclamespot van.

In dit interview heeft hij het continue over de talloze mogelijkheden die Need for Speed: Underground zou voor komen. Hier onder zie je één vraag, klik hier voor het hele interview.

Q: How customizable are the cars? (can you upload your own skins?)

A: The car customization is one of the major focuses of the product. It’s not just a marketing “bullet point” for the back of the box. It’s something we’ve taken great care to get right.

Anything you think you could customize on the car is customizable. There are hundreds of parts per car as well as over 100 different paint colors in multiple paint styles, and hundreds of after market manufacturer decals. The vinyl system alone offers over 400 separate vinyl’s that the player can custom color and layer on four separate layers of the car.

I wouldn’t compare what we’re doing in Underground to what anyone has done in a driving game to this point – it just wouldn’t be fair. One of the guys on the team calculated how many different ways you could build out just one of the twenty cars in the game. The number was over 71 billion (yes that is with a B). One of the “mantras” of the game design from the beginning was that “10,000 people who own Underground could all have the same model of car and they could all look completely unique”.
