By Ricardo Torres, GameSpot

We had the chance to get a look at the PlayStation 3 version of EA’s upcoming entry in the Need for Speed franchise to see what EA’s Canadian studio is doing with Sony’s hardware. The latest entry in the long-running series plays around with the Need for Speed formula. This year’s game is an ambitious expansion of the key features that have made the series popular, and it includes new elements that have come out of the team’s research into the racing scene.

The big hooks in Need for Speed Carbon are canyon racing, racing crews, and car-class affiliation. The heart of the game’s career mode is a battle for control of a city. The setting is a massive free-roaming metropolis that’s bigger than the one seen in last year’s Need for Speed Most Wanted. In addition, you’ll find massive canyons that will serve as the stage for the unique boss battles. Your goal is to build up a crew of racers to help you take over the city neighborhood by neighborhood and to master the three car classes–tuner, muscle, and exotic. Furthermore, EA’s Vancouver-based studio is trying out some interesting expansions of the car-customization feature seen in previous games.

In terms of content, the game is comparable to the Xbox 360 version but does offer unique functionality courtesy of the PS3′s Sixaxis controller, which is used to supplement your steering in the game. You’ll basically get an assist if you tilt the controller while steering into a turn, which comes in handy on the game’s twisty roads. The mechanic is a low-key enhancement to steering that gives a subtle twist to racing. From what we played, the support will vary in effectiveness based on a number of factors, namely your car, your speed, and how tight a turn you’re trying to pull. The controller support adds an interesting dimension to control that we’re anxious to explore more in-depth.

The other, more-subtle aspect of the game on the PlayStation 3 is its graphical performance, which is on par with its Xbox 360 cousin, albeit with a few flourishes that add some polish to the action. The game features a smooth frame rate and a high level of detail, with just a few spots in need of tightening. Some textures could be cleaner, and the lighting is odd in a few random spots, but we expect that the team will sort out these issues in time for release.

Based on what we’ve seen, Need for Speed Carbon is looking sharp on the PlayStation 3. The visuals are impressive and feature a glossy style that’s complemented by the PlayStation 3′s graphical muscle. Though we’d like to have seen a more robust set of features unique to the platform, Need for Speed Carbon is shaping up to be a strong launch title for the PlayStation 3. Look for a full review on the game when it ships alongside the console next month.

Upside: Like the PS2 did for DVDs, the PS3 hopes to give a boost to the nascent Blu-ray movie format, going so far as to include the Blu-ray version of the Will Ferrell comedy Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby as an add-in. The console’s built-in Blu-ray drive allows it to double as a high-def movie player, making its otherwise hefty $500-to-$600 price tag seem like a bargain compared to that of dedicated stand-alone Blu-ray players, which bottom out at $1,000. Every PlayStation 3 will come with an HDMI port, which guarantees high-def playback of Blu-Ray movies and PS3 games, though the system will not ship with an HDMI cable. Blu-ray will be the format of choice for PS3 games, and the high-density discs offer much more storage space than those of Sony’s competitors; Blu-ray discs max out at 50GB and can theoretically go to 100GB or 200GB, while the Microsoft Xbox 360 and (as far as we can determine) Nintendo Wii use standard DVDs, which top out at a comparatively cramped 8.5GB. The end result? The PS3 has the potential to offer more expansive games, with better graphical textures, more full-motion HD video, and plenty of extra content. Sony is also planning to do away with region coding for games, partly because multiterritory releases (with region-specific languages, for instance) will fit all the versions on one disc. In addition to the ramped-up disc storage, every PlayStation 3 will incorporate a hard drive, which means that developers are free to create games that utilize it, unlike the Xbox 360 which made the hard drive optional.

The PlayStation 3 will be the first commercial device powered by the ballyhooed Cell processor, a 3.2GHz chip that Sony developed with help from IBM and Toshiba. The chip’s seven synergistic processing elements (SPEs) will work in parallel to churn out a staggering 218 gigaflops, or 218 billion floating point operations per second. In practice, that should make the PS3 especially adept at such processor-intensive activities as upconverting video and emulating past PlayStation games. You’ll be able to play your PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games, right out of the box, on the PlayStation 3. Even though it seems as though every household on the planet owns a PS1 or PS2, it’s still a pretty big coup for the system to have such an extensive backlog available from the start; comparatively, the Xbox 360′s backward-compatibility list is being built from the ground up in a piecemeal fashion, and Nintendo is offering GameCube disc playback but will likely charge for downloading games from the company’s earlier consoles, including the Nintendo 64 and Super Nintendo systems. Unlike the Xbox 360, you won’t have to re-buy your last-gen games, as Sony will be releasing a $15 PS3 Memory Card Adapter that allows you to use PS1 and PS2 memory cards in your PS3.

Like the Xbox 360 and the Nintendo Wii, the PS3 supports multiple wireless controllers. The PS3 controller, called the SixAxis, will be included with the system and will also be available separately for $50. Sony gets props for supporting up to seven simultaneous gamepads, as well as the Bluetooth wireless standard; the controllers will likely employ an internal battery that can be charged via mini-USB cable. The controllers use the same Dual Shock design as the company’s customary PS1 and PS2 controllers, with a few notable differences–the PS3 controllers utilize motion-sensitive movement in six directions as a method of control, hence the name. The controller does not require any sensor devices like the Nintendo Wii, but it does lack the “rumble” effect of the first party Xbox 360 and Wii controllers. Sony gets props for supporting as many as seven simultaneous gamepads, as well as the Bluetooth wireless standard; the controllers will likely employ an internal battery that can be charged via mini-USB cable. Despite initial misgivings, it seems as though other companies besides Sony are beginning to make novel use of the SixAxis’s control method. 2K Sports’ NBA 2K7 has you recreating the free-throw shot motion with the controller in order to sink a shot, while Activision’s Tony Hawk’s Project 8 allows you to use the controller for all skateboard movement. There will be some connectivity between the PS3 and Sony’s PlayStation Portable handheld system via USB (and possible Wi-Fi). While we’ve heard a bit about content transfer between the two systems, we’re more enthusiastic about the use of the portable as another control method, as shown in F1 06, a racing title in which the PSP acted as an external real-time rearview mirror.

Downside: As great as a price of $500 or $600 will be for a Blu-ray player, it’s awfully high for a console. It’s twice the price that the PS2 was at launch in 2000, and it’s $200 more than the core and high-end Xbox 360 models. Another pricing flub that Sony’s been fleeced for was the decision to include a neutered PS3 for $500. While the company originally explained the difference as a simple memory disparity, further research has uncovered that the $500 model will lack built-in Wi-Fi and a built-in flash-memory reader. Microsoft caught some flak for releasing a bare-bones Xbox 360 Core System, a version that was easily upgradable to the exact same specs as the more expensive deluxe version with the purchase of a few expensive accessories. The PS3 should be able to do the same, though the upgrade path for the hard drive, the flash-memory reader, and Wi-Fi compatibility remains vague.
