First Look: Need for Speed Shift

Yeah been following this one. thank the Lord that they woke up and now doing what I have been saying for years. Give us a Hectic Sim from NFS.

Games like NFS porsche were not sims I know, but it leaned more towards realism than full out arcade racing. And how weird is it that when they took a poll some years back (after most wanted) and something like a massive 70% of total votes said Porsche unleashed was the BEST nfs evarrrrrrr. I was part of the vote years ago, and its weird because I am not a Porsche fan. That game was just awesome.

Going back to a more realistic approach, or a sim approach is awesome. Cause they have seperate online and arcade versions comming out aswell.

For the first time in years, EA, Good job!

I too am SO glad they've finally woken up. The Need for Speed series used to be one of my favourite series', but come Most Wanted and everything after that I was basically put off of racing games in general in disappointment.

I Most Wanted and everything after that I was basically put off of racing games in general in disappointment.

I totally agree, NFSU and NFSU2 was great then they lost the plot.

Still think the old NFS was cool.

That last NFS I bought was Most Wanted so Shift better be good.

Most Wanted was the best, best sound track best playability

I've tried every title since hot pursuit, been burned once too many. Race Driver GRID a much better arcade racer that leans towards realism, I'm not even going to bother with Shift, i'll wait for codemasters to make GRID 2.

I have total faith in EA to bugger it up.
