Quote from Mazz4200 :

All i hope is he doesn't embarrass himself in these few remaining races. He does seem to be having a few problems adjusting to the fezza though.

Me to.

It must be strange when you really get used to one particular f1 car, on the limit most of the time, then have to step into something that will have different brakes, aero, engine, suspension setups, and the added weight and gubbins that are involved with the kers system, and probabaly countless other differences in the way the car feels and drives.

Fisi's booboo in practice 3 was funny though, anthony davidson was commentating and said something like "i think fisi was distracted by the tifosi, then released ''whoops, here's a corner, oh no here's a wall *bang*''

was quite funny

Quote from brandons48 :

Let it get released, let the hype die down, try out the demo, if you like it- go buy it

I'd rather be able to play it before release, like nearly every other game, and then be able to buy it on release day after i've realised how awesome it is.

Suppose i could always "try" the full game on release like bose is hinting at

A demo after the game is released? That's gay, i wanted to try it before i buy it.

Quote from EliteAti :

Fisichella chose bad time to change the team

I don't think he went to ferrari for winning, he might of hoped he may get a win or two, but i think it's solely down to the fact that he wanted to experience being a part of the ferrari team.

The name alone stands for so much, hell he probably dreamt of racing for ferrari since he was like 4yrs old - he probably still has loads of ferrari posters on the wall

Another very interesting review comes from Swedish Gamereactor magazine as the reviewer praises Shift to handle much like GT Legends with better tire physics, calling it more demanding than other console racers such as Gran Turismo.

those test cars really would of mislead the media

It does look better in those pictures tbh, the interior looks superb, it still has a resemblance shape wise as the mclaren f1.











Still like the raptor though

that doesn't make me like the mclaren more though does it

It's nice but i prefer the saleen raptor by a mile

Quote from tristancliffe :

Part of me quite likes Toseland. But after seeing this, Spies clearly needs a place in MotoGP next year in place of the comparatively dull JT.

It's brilliant. And that's not over-hyping it!

The yamaha video's are amazing the one where edwards,rossi,toseland & lorenzo go to the yamaha HQ is class

sticking with pugs

Quote from anttt69 :

If you would like to sell me one for £20, go right ahead .

lmao

Doesn't look to bad i thought?

Pity about the grid girl standing in the middle of the car though hahaha

Physics wise looks very similar to the Race series, which in general isn't really the worst sim around is it? There's to many video's around of people playing on gamepads at shows, that and the fact there's alot of people who just slam the throttle down and close their eyes

I'd really of liked a demo to make my own mind up aswell though, pretty shit that it looks like there won't be one.

Quote from BastianB :

Man look at all the trailers this doesn´t even look NEAR to real imo. Not that i say Dirt 2 is a simulation but even this looks more realistic then Shift.

Thats one of the reasons i´ll buy Dirt 2 and not Shift.

From the pc video's i've seen the graphics look pretty good in shift tbh, guess there will only be one way to find out, play the game for yourself.

Dirt2 is going in a weird direction, some of the car selections are strange for Dirt2

Quote from lukelfs :

Not sure where to get it from

http://www.game.co.uk/Xbox360/ ... lusive-ingame-M3-E92-BMW/

Getting mine from here, i assume that's the 5 vip cars + the 2 extra game exclusive ones?

No demo before release, maybe not even after:

Quote :

Even though EA announced in spring that a demo of Need for Speed Shift will be available this summer, it looks like that the demo version isn’t exactly just around the corner.

EA has released the following statement, answering the many community requests for a playable Shift demo to accompany all the preview material:

“In the last few weeks we’ve received a lot of messages and forum posts about a demo so we’re currently looking into the feasibility of releasing a demo for SHIFT. We are committed to releasing the best Need for Speed game so we kept the entire team working on the game to make sure we release a really great experience.
We’re really proud of what the guys at SMS and Black Box have created and we can’t wait to get the game in your hands.”

Without reading too much into this message, it pretty much states that EA isn’t even sure if they will ever release a demo and certainly not before Shift hits the shelves on September 15th/17th

Well that's me downloading then

veyron + engine mods + other mods drag strip here i come 2000+ hp maybe?!?!?

Rossi wasn't on the pace all weekend, don't think it really had anything to do with lorenzo getting into his head The wide line leading into that corner didn't help him, seemed like the bike had both wheels off the ground as he braked due to the bumps. Very bland track anyway imo, roll on misano

Tech3 would be crazy to ditch edwards aswell and keep toseland, fair eough they might not want two americans, but i fail to see the logic in keeping an under performing rider like toseland when edwards is consistantly better on equal machinery. . .

I'll still buy it tbh Doubt it will get as much play time as forza 3 though

Quote from brandons48 :

Look how the camera changed, that's cinematic overtaking bullshit! Not physics gone wrong.

Maybe likely to be something that happened in a beta test race or similar and they used different camera angles to glorify it?

Quote from Stigpt :

If you go see the f1.com's race edit

I've just watched a few of the other race edits aswell - they are awesome

This video shows a bit of promise aswell

http://www.facebook.com/video/ ... v=131238846664&ref=mf

I'm guessing the blur of the car is so that people playing will start to look at the track more, and corners/apexes - might lead to a few people being better players

This video is good aswell:

My *iracing not included was a jibe at how expensive it is, seems people have taken the way i wrote it the wrong way I can see why when looking back at my post.

I also didn't state iracing was new, imaginitive or inspired, only it wasn't affordable

Quote from beefyman666 :

As for which car i'd start with, probably the Fezza.
.

Yup defo the fezza, 4wd - 650ish bhp and wider arches hopefully

Looks awesome, really can't wait
