Info
Imagine the emotions race drivers go through.

The thrill of driving incredibly fast, the pressure of the competition, the fear of losing control, the intense concentration and effort needed to harness the power of a racing car.

This is the True Driver’s Experience of Need for Speed SHIFT.

EA has brought together some of the World’s best racing game talent and real race drivers to deliver this experience totally authentically.

Developed by Slightly Mad Studios, a team that includes developers and designers from the critically acclaimed GT Legends and GTR2 games collaborating with Michael Mann (executive producer at Black Box) and Patrick Soderlund (senior Vice President of EA Games).

Patrick Soderlund is also part of a racing team that recently competed in the fourth edition of the TOYO TIRES 24H Dubai 2009, the first major race event of the year where his team finished fifth.

Soderlund and the SHIFT development team is committed to bringing the on-the-track experience to players across the world.

Expect to be playing SHIFT in Fall 2009. It will be available on Xbox 360®, PLAYSTATION®3, PC and PLAYSTATION®PORTABLE (PSP) as well as on Mobile and iPhone.

I have my fingers crossed for NFS-Shift. I don't think I've been this excited about a NFS game since Hot Pursuit 2 came out. A lot of people have their eyes set on it. If they do it right, it COULD be a major comeback for the series. I don't think it will but I reaaaally want it to! :lol:

The series has gone downhill ever since they started giving more importance to customizing the car with bling rather than actual racing.

Re: Need for Speed™ SHIFT is comming

Apparently, that's changing with Shift and with the big names from games such as GTR2 working on it, I think this could be different!

Re: Need for Speed™ SHIFT is comming

^I'm one of the huge NFS fans here. I loved everythin' they did with NFS, except MW & PS! Hate a female counterpart. PS' handling was too, shall I say, "realistic"? But I hope SHIFT'll be awesome! Waitin' for it impatiently.

Darn! Ye guys haven't heard? With Real Mod 2.0b, your dream has come true. The only problem in SHIFT was too much corner slidin', right? This mod reduces it, people! I was just surfin' 'round the net & found out. With Damage Mod, wheels'll tear apart from the axles & engine will fail, gearbox will fail & all that you've dreamt of! BTW, we (the commenters in VirtualR site) talked to Ian Bell! The man who developed SHIFT, dudes! Awesome! NFS SHIFT's THE BEST! Links? Bing it!

Gah, front lamps on the cars in screenshots look polygonal rather than oval. Can't think of it in the days of DirectX 11. :sad: :-x

and the online racing challenges (Driver Duel) is totally addictive. no more defensive opponents. You make one mistake and your opponent will either be out of reach or wish push you to the barriers :)

I am loving it. para pa pa ra.

btw, my id is desiibond in NFS shift racing. let me know if anyone want to come online for few race events tonight :)
