****EA is looking for great sounding cars for the next Need for Speed Underground***

Underground 2 website

Electronic Arts is performing an open audition call for cars for the purpose of engine sounds for their next Need for Speed Underground game. This is a chance to have your car heard in the game! We are looking for inline 4's and all types of 6 cylinder cars. Sorry, no 4wd, turbo's, automatics or VTEC's.

WHEN ?: Saturday June 26th, between 10am and 2pm

WHERE ?: SHINESTREET, INC, 20925 BONITA ST, CARSON, CA, USA

After we audition and choose your car, we'll be recording it on the spot on a Dynapack system (www.dynapack.com). You will be compensated accordingly. If you have any questions or are going to come, please email: cdeenen@ea.com with the specs of your car.

thank you much already.

[Black Majik MSP]

LMAO what a bunch of stupid s***!

 

[wickedjra]

i hope you die.

that's rough. go hug something

 

[Black Majik MSP]

Seriously though, take away turbo & VTEC & what's left worth putting in the game? (screwy)

 

[wickedjra]

haha, yeah but you always start those games off w/ stock cars till you win and upgrade. probably just want some different sounding mufflers.

Clarification: the game has turbo'd cars, but it's very difficult to get a agressive sounding engine sound recorded while the "noise" of the turbos and blowoffs are going. Turbos are recorded seperately on a bench. We've recorded several VTEC's already several weeks ago, which is why no Vtec's are needed. Hope this clarifies it. We've had a lot of people with hondas and VW's show up, but nobody with a mazda yet. Can't have those mazda's in the game sounding like honda's now, can we ? (boom04) Thank you to those already who are considering to come !

 

[wickedjra]

with that in mind, anybody who's ever complained or wanted mazda to be represented.......THEN REPRESENT. Especially all you N/A guys!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dexter]

[mazdaowner123]

[theprophetevan]

if my protege wasnt stock and automatic id go hehe. thats not too far from me

 

[jred321]

turkey! i bet you don't have that turbo sound yet

 

[spacemonkey]

No turkey?

Atleast Gran Turismo 4 has the MAzdaspeed Protege...wonder if you can hear the turkey?

The game doesnt want cars like th MSP and SRT-4....they want basline cars...which is a shame. Fun game but its the reason why people think its rice.

spacemonkey,
please don't confuse the cars in the game with the cars which we need to record the sounds. Those are 2 completely different things. The more "complex" the car, the less agressive they often. It usually sounds louder, but much more like "noise". I own a protege 5 (but EAC is in vancouver, where no Dynapacks facilities are available), otherwise we'd recorded that one or another P5 in vancouver.

The reason why we can't use automatics is due to the Dynapack. Automatics want to shift as soon as you put full load on the engine at 1200rpm.

Hope this explains it a bit. We sure hope some of you can come! We're also looking for a dragster (i.e. barely or not legal) mazdas. If you know of anybody, please have them give me a call or email. We had different manufacturer's 400 and 600hp dragsters a few weeks ago which sounded amazing. Cheers !

 

[enigM@]

is the protege in the game?

 

[mspeedpro]

your looking for a draggster NA protege??? hmmmmmm

if a msp has stock airbox you can barely hear BOV at stock boost-- get sumone to do that with exhaust

 

[SP33D]

Cdeenen.. where are you located... and can you pleeeeaase put a stock protege and protege5 hatch in the game

I'm located in Vancouver, originally from LA. We're recording this saturday in carson (see original post). I have no control over which cars are being put in the game, as this still changes daily.
