Does anyone know the name of the game engine (i.e., middleware) used in the development of NFS: ProStreet? Is it third-party or in-house?

Has this title been confirmed? I have reverted the page redirects to "Need For Speed: All Star" as they went wrong (although I'm sure the editor who moved the page had the best intentions) and because I wasn't sure whether this title had been confirmed yet.
In any case, cut-and-paste was not the correct way, and it was proper to revert the move. If it is confirmed, we can use the move tab.

Why is everyone write ProStreet although in the official Pro Street page shows Need For Speed: Pro StreetYoosq 03:18, 1 June 2007
Read the announcement, it's ProStreet.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - May 31, 2007 - Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:ERTS) announced today that the blockbuster Need for Speed™ franchise is introducing a new version that drives the series in a new direction. Need for Speed™ ProStreet is a ground-breaking Need for Speed experience where you're thrust to compete head to head against the best street racers in a multitude of racing showdowns. The game is being developed by EA Black Box in Vancouver, B.C., and is slated to ship this fall.
ProStreet is the title if you need any more convincing than the official logo. One other thing; the new trailer (official) ends with COMING 10-31-07 so there is an official release date which I have posted. Take it down if you don't like it. —The preceding

Oh well, as it turns out the official release date actually is 31 October, for the american market. Europe is still November 07. The American trailer and website have been changed since launch, but the European (UK) hasn't. This should have been mentioned and discussed on this talk page before reverting, which this user failed to do.

History of Title
What's the point of this section? It talks about magazines that have mentionned the name "ProStreet" which is not at all relevant to the game itself. I removed the whole section yesterday and somebody wrote it back. Am I the only one who thinks it doesn't belong in the article? --

It's a story on how the title has been brought to user's attention. It's a history of game development. It's relevant for the article.

Russian distributor
Who the game's distributor is in Russia is totally irrelevant to the article. This is english wikipedia, therefor we must stick with international standards. We simply cannot add information about the distributor in each country to all articles. Thus, the info is removed from the article. --
MrStalkertalk21:49, 9 June 2007 (UTC)reply
Yes, we do it for every game. That is why the option distributor is made for. And because it's an encyclopedia, not a guidebook for English speaking people.
Elk Salmon23:44, 9 June 2007 (UTC)reply
No, we don't. The option distributor is made for use in articles about a game where the distributor and the publisher isn't the same. In this case Electronic Arts both publish and distribute the game. Since Russia is a little special market, basically all games that are being sold there goes through a different distributor. The question is: Is there information about the Russian distributor in other video game articles? No, there isn't. Hence, it's irrelevant to the article and the vast majority of readers. --
MrStalkertalk09:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)reply
Hasn't this information been present in the article for months? What reasons are there for removing it now? 0_o
How could the list of official developers, publishers, distributors, designers etc could be irrelevant? It's indeed relevant.
Elk Salmon12:42, 10 June 2007 (UTC)reply
They aren't, it's the Russian distributor that's irrelevant. Who's the Russian distributor is very irrelevant to everybody except Russians. There is a place for such information:
Russian wikipedia. --
MrStalkertalk14:08, 10 June 2007 (UTC)reply
The answer was given before your post. Wikipedia is not a guidebook, but an encyclopedia. International distributors, publishers, developers, release dates etc is an important relevant data. Not all people that want to know them have a knowledges in all languages. Also to note - en.wiki is an international. Majority of non english speakers use it, because of lack of data in local wikies.
Elk Salmon07:47, 14 June 2007 (UTC)reply
I agree. International distributors, publishers, developers, release dates etc are important relevant data. National/local ones, such as Soft Club, aren't. --

ProStreet?
Does anyone at EA actually know what Pro Street means in the context of street racing? From what I've seen so far, none of the in-game cars are Pro Street cars. Pro Street is defined as a street-legal version of a Pro Mod drag car.. ie RWD, narrowed rear axle to accomodate huge rear-wheel tubs (I mean huge- Mickey Thompson 33x21 in. tyres), large V8 etc, often running 8 sec and under quarter-mile times. It'd be interesting to see if the Camaro etc in the game are actually true Pro Street cars; I'd be pleasantly surprised if they were.--

Nobody here knows what somebody at EA does or does not know. You will have to ask them the get an answer on that. If I would guess, I'd say the title ProStreet refers to Professional Street-racing, and has nothing whatsoever to do with Pro Mod cars. --
MrStalkertalk14:30, 10 July 2007 (UTC)reply
Pro Street is a style of street racing car- that's my point. This is a street racing game of the same name. Hence the not-unreasonable question.--
Truetillbrew15:41, 10 July 2007 (UTC)reply
Perhaps, but most people don't even know what a Pro Mod/Pro Street car is. But this has nothing to to with the article itself. If one wants to know what cars there will be in the game one just got to take a look at the included carlist, it speaks it's clear language and there is no confusion. Regarding the use of a title that conflicts with a car type, you'll have to take it with EA representatives in the official forums. --

- DirectX 10 is compatiable with Windows Vista only, and it's unlikely even EA would limit themselves like that. Since Carbon uses DirectX 9.0c, chances are ProStreet does too.

No cops?
In the article it says that there will be no cops in the game, is this confirmed? And if so, is there a source to this?
Also, in the article it says "Unlike its predecessors, all racing in ProStreet will take place on closed tracks" but every NFS game outside of the last three only took place on closed tracks.
GSG Flash14:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)reply
Yes it is. Check out GameSpot's interview for the latest update.

On the article page it says "ProStreet will focus much more on realism and move closer to racing simulation". I think this is not quite in line with what the producer of the game said recently: ""We're definitely not looking to make a simulation",
source here. What do you think?
Timppis10:08, 9 August 2007 (UTC)reply
So, what's the official verdict? I have not found any evidence suggesting that a car list is
strictly forbidden (I was not able to find anything with that link, MrStalker), and I think it would
add to the quality of the page if it were included. I just bought the game, and if anyone doesn't
mind, I'd be interested in just making the list myself. Loonybin0, Never underestimate a man in a straight-jacket 16:04, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

deleting this one). Loonybin0 Never underestimate a man in a straight-jacket 16:10, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
Although that all places that are selling it (Gameplay, Amazon etc) have the same date marked as release date (pretty sure this date is given by EA to sellers)? By the way, Amazon releases it in US earlier than it is written here.

in NFS:PS the views will be basically the same , except for the hood view (it will be slightly to the left rather than central) AND (not verified) a kind of 360° view around the car , as in GTA: San Andreas. I only saw this in a vid on gametrailers (E3 2007 Developer Walkthrough , at 1:48)

Damage System
The new ProStreet will also feature an advanced damage system, which will directly impact on your car's performance, unlike previous Need for Speed titles. This is especially significant in the Speed racing mode, as you can easily "total" your car.
It wasn't quite as advanced as what they make ProStreet's out to be, though. In Porsche Unleashed I could have hit a truck and flipped down the street and still kept driving. --

First with no cops
[...] all racing in ProStreet takes place on closed tracks, thus making it the first game in the series not animating illegal racing behaviour, as a result there aren't any police in the game.
There were Police in Porsches Unleashed just not in the race mode
Porsche Unleashed factory driver mode included "delivery" events, that included traffic and cops, but the cops could only interfere with a players car, not stop or ticket the car.

The non-pursuit modes of the older games didn't involve cops. Rather than fret over which games did and didn't have illegal racing, why not just state that ProStreet is about legal racing, unlike it's immediate predecessors?

There is a diffrence in the wii version and xbox or whatever version this information came from
Grip Class races take 8 racers and divide them into two even groups. The racers are placed into the groups based on their vehicles performance potential. Group A starts about 10 seconds ahead of group B, both groups race on the same course but are only competing against the 3 drivers in their group.
In the wii version there are no groups. The race starts at the same time for all 8 cars. No matter what your proformance you alwasy start in last, making it very difficult if you start with a fast excellerating car because all the other cars tend to bunch up untill the first turn.
The car featured in that ad was a Ferrari, a car not featured or licensed for use with ProStreet. Some claim (probably jokingly) that the only reason the ad was pulled because of the Ferrari.
