YouTube - Need for Speed SHIFT: Drift Reveal Video

Looks like EA is actually trying! No more NFS Carbon bullshit rice popping gayness.

Hopefully they actually make something of this, I'm looking forward for this and Forza 3 for sure.

This will tide me over till the big October and November game dropping fiesta (COD:MF2, Forza3, DiRt, BF:BC2, etc...) Hopefully this game will be as good as it looks, opinions?!

GSXRJJordan · 08-15-2009, 03:15 AM

I saw this! NFS is totally taking on the Forza crowd.

I think it's lame that the 'celebs' they have in their videos (Gitten Jr is one) talk about driving, but not about the game. FAIL.

But the game looks good, I'll definitely *cough... DL it... cough*

adam s · 08-15-2009, 03:20 AM

For the first time ever, that actually looks cool haha.

HyperTek · 08-15-2009, 03:25 AM

its gonna suck

1. they have to show you crashes and drifting in the previews to get you hyped.

2. they pay pro drivers for these video previews of them racing, yet not about the game.

3. its EA, when did they ever make good racing physics? They put out a racing game every freaking year, thats not enough development time to make something quality.

4. its targeted towards the Grid and console gamer masses who want what they think is realistic yet dumbed down for console friendliness.

BUT.. it will sell alot because the average race gamer loves that stuff. Forza and GT never made soo many preview videos hyping their games up or show cars smashing into each other in those commercials etc.

read the comments lol

if i had dollar for everytime i herd "this isnt just a video game"

id be rich.

same thing as any racing game involving the import community.

"OH yea PRO STREET is gonna be amazing. finally a drifting mode with realistic physics"

"oh yea NFS SHIFT, its going to the the best"

"oh yea (insert next game here) its going the beat all"

its hype. it passes, a new one comes out next year.

the cycle of need for speed games

zenki.life · 08-15-2009, 03:52 AM

forza will be and continue to be the top racing sim i think

HyperTek · 08-15-2009, 03:58 AM

all that eye candy and physics dont mean much if ur still playing with a gamepad with your thumbs lol.. you guys need a steering wheel with working clutch/shifter to get the most out of a game, and most console games dont support a clutch or shifter. turn off all the driving aids and steering assists and automatic shouldnt even be an option.

Those racing games where you have to level up can get borring because you keep playing them to unlock stuff in hopes that it gets better lol.

but yeah, id say forza 3 is teh game to wait for right now for consoles.

Yeah, I completely agree. I just hope that EA is going to prevail for once. As long as the drifting mode keeps me glued to the screen for a while I will be happy.

HyperTek · 08-25-2009, 06:51 PM

shift is gonna suck, its aimed at fanboys

so all that paid promo vids of real driver videos *like vaugn gitten drifting etc*that have nothing to do with the game, can EAD.
Need for Speed Shift - PC Games Is Not Very Impressed… » VirtualR - Sim Racing News

Quote:

German PC Games Hardware magazine had the chance to test Shift on the GamesCom Expo, using a D-Box motion system and a TripleHead2Go monitor setup. Desipite the impressive hardware setup, the writers of one of Germany’s biggest gaming mags did not seem to be very much impressed with Shift juding by the following statement:

The racing seat did give you the feeling of sitting in a real car as the forces are pulling you in different directions depending on if you´re breaking or accelerating. Combine that with the great sounds and Shift does indeed feel very real. On the other hand, the graphics and the arcadish gameplay were kind of a let down. The TripleHead2Go system did offer a good optical presentation, the graphics never met the quality that could be seen in the trailers though. The Xbox 360 version was even worse, sporting blurry textures without AF and lots of Aliasing.

Even though we did turn off all driving aids, even the powerful cars handled tame, making it very hard to get them to spin out. On the other hand, Need for Speed was never a simulation and that’s a good thing - Shift sure is fun and that’s what’s most important.

NINJASPY · 08-25-2009, 07:10 PM

in the video, the driver mentions he spent, "a little over 100 hours" working on the physics... for gran turismo 5 they spend about 100hours modeling ONE CAR.

BustedS13 · 08-25-2009, 07:59 PM

there has never been a need for speed title worth playing.

eh, the old school hot pursuit on PC wasen't half bad in the late 90's

I'll most likely steal the game from my buddy when he rent's it.

Were you deprived when you were a little kid?

I enjoyed NFS2 - NFS5 (Porsche Unleashed).

HyperTek · 08-25-2009, 08:57 PM

yeah those where fun days, but now we want reality!!
not overhyped games that scream "yo we got the best game brah chyea!!"

i had friends who thought NFS was hot shit. truth be told, i always thought it was just shit.
if you want some retarded arcade racer from years past, Cruisin' ____ and the Rush series were worth playing.
oh, and Extreme G. anybody remember that shit?
actually Twisted Metal and Jet Moto are the two racing-ish games i played most in my youth.
of course, none of these are remotely playable by today's standards.

*s13 @ fullboost* · 08-25-2009, 09:41 PM

I am borderline with this right now but Forza 3 FTW

BoostSlideWayz · 08-25-2009, 10:04 PM

i would get it.. i always liked NFS since i had PS1. so ill deffinatly be buying this.

DataXUnknown · 08-25-2009, 11:05 PM

Just another GRID is all it is. I loved GRID at first (pretty much the demo), but now it's just old. Getting 50 million drift points is so fucking stupid.

I mean I do like the camera and how they functioned it in the game, but still I just really hope it's not like GRID.

Don't say that quite yet.

I think Sony has something to say about this in about, oh, a years time or so.

We shall see

xpertsnowcarver · 08-25-2009, 11:20 PM

Grid 2 needs to get made already. As far as Need for speed... the last good one was Most Wanted - for its time.. Carbon was too damn short. Undercover was okay but the driving physics sucked ass..

Hot Pursuit was nice, Porsche Unleashed was the shit. That was when PC games looked 10x better than N64 or PS2, which made it even sweeter... I still love that game.

xpertsnowcarver · 08-25-2009, 11:27 PM

^^Parents just had to buy the cheapest computer at the time too... stuck with Test Drive 6 for my PS1, but boy did I master it! lol

pahaf · 08-25-2009, 11:57 PM

i played this game (nfs shift) at the forumla d. its pretty cool.

the best NFS IMO was the underground 2

xBtony · 08-26-2009, 12:04 AM

I think the game will be dope...But im a NFS fan...no way will it top FM3...but w/e..it will still be worth picking up...im stoked to play it..thats fersure

***Future240*** · 08-26-2009, 07:09 AM

Based of the last few NFS I think this game will be a glittered pile of feces.

Im with you on this. I used to play da shit outa Rush, both of em, Cruisin, and Extreme G. Matter of fact I bought all 3 of those again about 2 years ago and played the shit outa them again, but it only took a few days to beat each one this time around.

XeroX · 08-26-2009, 09:44 AM

I totaly agree about NFS games having unrealistic physics and what not...but i have always loved them...all the Undergrounds were loads of fun to play, and i still play them on occasion when im bored...RARELY, but i still do...

Racing games are my favorite, I haven’t invested in one in almost a year however…seems like Ive lost interest in purchasing games since i purchased my 360...thank god I got it for super cheap….

Truth be told, simulation racing games are the way to go when you want to play something more complicated than the norm…but sometimes I honestly just wana get on and play for 20 mins and then hop off, regardless of how stupid or unreal it may be…that’s kinda what makes the game fun for me…

This looks like fun tho, ill def rent it.
