Hi Guys!
So, i found something very interesting.
It's an old "interview" with the [former?]senior art director of EA, Neil Eskuri.
Here's the link
And just because i know you don't like clicking links, here are the important parts(but i still encourage you to read the full one):
"Creatively the biggest adjustment for Eskuri was the balancing act between what EA wanted to do and what can actually fit into the game"
Yeah, this explains a lot
"We went through a couple of ideas for the game and locations," explains Neil. "We had an idea for a large world with more open highway between cities which would take the player through deserts and mountains on long epic races."
They sure had a couple ideas...
"When the crew got back and started putting the world together, it occurred to them that maybe this isn't the culture of street racing. So they had to crank their concept in reverse and look at it all from another angle."
"The feeling was we were moving away from what made NFS: Carbon such a great game — Speed in an urban culture. “With that, we shifted gears and decided to keep the game within a cityscape,” explains Eskuri."
And so it was born...
""Ironically," Neil adds, “the idea of the canyon racing came late in the process but fit well with what we were already doing."
k bye
