Most Wanted 2012 findings EP2
today's forecast:
a lot of things referring to the earliest development stage known.
I shall call it "HAWAII" ERA since according to the language files the game is known to be "Need for Speed™ Hawaii"(line 204, 642, 655, 670, 671, 748, 749, 1831, 1864, 1937, 2221, 2474, 2476, 2541, 2702, 2707.)
according to the language files, the game was pretty much a modified Hot Pursuit 2010 with a blacklist and no cop career.
At this stage the game had a ranking system:
PROFESSOR
PROFESSOR II
PROFESSOR I
KING OF THE ROAD
KING OF THE ROAD II
KING OF THE ROAD I
CO-DRIVER
SPEED FREAK
SPEED FREAK II
SPEED FREAK I
ROAD HOG
ROAD HOG II
ROAD HOG I
TEST DRIVER
TEST DRIVER II
TEST DRIVER I
Game had a Photomode, A working version of Dreamshot(will be explained later) Weapons system ported straight from HP2010.
Bounty was measured in Dollars($), it was an early version of SP.
The game had some sort of Pursuit Braker(line3451, 3452) and "Heavy objects"(line 3456)
game featured a garage system. Some lines refer to garage unlocking by finding them, others seem to be unlocked upon beating a most wanted racer.
MOST WANTED CARS/LIST
AFAIK this version had only 1 Blacklist Racer.
Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X.
line 2790: The Most Wanted Car has been identified as the Mitsubishi Lancer EVOLUTION X and he will most likely be found driving near the Power Plant.<lf><lf>Watch out for his Most Wanted Tech, Black Ice TPP-327, a thermal plastic polymer which substantially reduces the friction of any surface or tyre that comes into contact with it.<lf><lf>If you lose sight of him you may be able to use your Thermal Vision to track his freshly laid tyre tracks.
Power Plants refer to Ripley's Point.
Most Wanted list had milestones that you had to complete in order to gain intel(line 3457, 3463) over the driver and then get the opportunity to take him on.
After beating the Most Wanted racer, you unlocked his car and his Tech(line 3438)
GARAGES:
Garages are mentioned at the very start of the file(line 25) PRESS {Controls.ButtonPrompt["AUTOLOG_ACCEPT"]} TO ENTER GARAGE
It appears that in the early version of the story, a friend of yours would lend you his(her?) garage(line 2912)
in the Garage you could select cars, Tech and events. You could also see your progression(line 3146) and customize your car.
All of those features were replaced by Autolog in the final version.
You could teleport from a garage to an event or another garage. It appears that different garages had different things you could see/do.
Garages are later referred to as "Safehouse"
