So..... In Underground's Drift and Drag tutorials we can see a blue Nissan Skyline wich is also seen in the Underground 2 intro as the protagonist drives it:   Also the U2 intro clearly takes place in Fort Union (East Bayview). My guess is that this is Eddie's BETA Skyline because his Skyline has a large affect on U1 (Main Menu, Cutscenes, Game cover) and we've won it in U1 and continue to race in it in U2. But if they changed the look of, then why did they include it like that in U2? (Soon I will be making a thread about another interesting car.) So what do you guys think? |

This sklyine was used in U1 tutorials and U2 tutorials, i guess its just a random car and that visuals are pretty awkward imo (vinyls design with car color, too simple)

In the intro there is a real hype about this car and the driver. It gets destroyed by Caleb's (?not sure) Hummer (never seen in game except the intro-what happened to it?).
If the protagonist gets somewhere else after this crash (Rachel said-the insurrance office just paid for the crash, she knew it from Samantha (not sure if she was in UG1 the "main girl").
Sooo.
1.The protagonist was racing in Baywiev and he was succesful.
2.Then the crash caused by Caleb
3.Travel to Olimpic City
4.Everything there
5.Comeback to Baywiev
Now questions:
1.Why Rachel handles with the protagonist like with an idiot, i mean he was in Baywiev like 6 months ago. That is the minimap, these are SMS, u know what dey r? She behaves like that.
2.Why Samantha knew first about the insurrance payment?
3.Who the hell is Rachel actually? (she became the most important person in the Baywiev street racing scene in 6 months, and appears from nowhere)
4.How was she Samanthas friend? (I mean, Samantha didn't mention about Rachel before UG2 intro, or did she)
5.Is Rachel from Olimpic City?
I know some of them have no connection to the Skyline.
And one more thing. I think the protagonist knew Samantha before he left Baywiev.

An iconic car, the purple Mitsubishi Eclipse appears:  The woman who is driving it looks similar to Rachel. Also if you've ever played Underground 2 for the GBA on the main screen you can see Rachel standing next to that purple Eclipse.  I don't have the answer to your other questions (yet) Still this is an interesting discovery |

You guys just confused things
In Underground 2 the location in the beginning of the story is Bayview but it is supposed to represent Olympic City, Caleb causes you to crash your car, after 6 months (probably you were in the hospital) you fly away as Samantha tells you to visit her friend Rachel in Bayview to get your head off.
Rachel didn't know the palyer before, that's why she's acting weird at first.
Easy Answer to the Skyline, EA just picked a car to be the hero's car for the cut scenes, because afterall every player used a different car so not everyone can relate to it, but they had to pick a car for the cut scenes...they could have picked a 350z and people would theorize it would be Rachel's or Melissa car or any other car...I believe the car is just random...in MW the Player has a preset car (the BMW) which also appears in the cut scenes until you lose it and win it back, this avoided car confusion as every player would pick a different car so they wrote the story to have a preset car for the beginning and the end, because the player wins his old car back.If you ever started a second career in NFSMW you may faced the bug that in the final pursuit you drive your car you defeated razor in, but in the cut scene when you jump over the bridge its the BMW, after this jump you drive the wrong car again.
The girl who drives the purple eclipse is Melissa, you can see it in the intro but for better views there's an e3 promotion trailer with more scenes of the driver.

The protagonist is not In UG series and in MW, Carbon. It's not the same person.
And lets make a new thread for these.

You didn't understand I just related the choice of cars by EA for the cut scenes, not the player.

Possibly licenising failed. That's not what I meant... In UG and UG2 the hero needed a car to be preset for cut scenes, but they forgot that Player will have different cars, however, for the easiest way they picked a car which represents the players car he [would have] owned at the end of Underground (evne if you didn't], this car mainly appears in the Tutorial videos of both games, remember in the drift scene it has a red vinyl, in normal races it is yellow. In Most Wanted they were better organized, the player had a preset car for the beginning of the story, but also for the races so cut scenes and gameplay will make sense, the loss of your vehicle gave the possibility to have other cars without interrupting the cut scene until you win your BMW back, CAUSE if you wouldn't lose your BMW and cut scenes show the BMW to be driven by you but in reality you didn't drove the BMW - it would interrupt the story's movement - to avoid this problem they gave the players no chance to drive a different car for the beginning and the end of the story means they could make the cut scenes without being worried about the car, because Players will be forced to drive the preset car. |
