First Need for Speed Shift Trailer Shows Gameplay

What we are forgetting here folks is that EA is in the business of doing only 1 thing and 1 thing alone. MAKING MONEY. This game CAN'T be good if its a console racer being ported to the PC. If it was a PC game being ported to consoles THEN we'd be cookin' with gas.

I've been in love with the NFS franchise since the first one came out for the playstation one. That game was about taking exotics and making you feel like you were driving it in the real world. That game did it and made it fun. This game does appear to be in direct competition with Grid (an AWESOME game) and I have to agree with the other posts that if they want to compete with a game that should have racing enthusiasts interested, they have to out-realism them... and without damage modeling, even non-functional damage modeling!? Yeah, pass... I've wanted a good NFS game for a long time, Most Wanted was CLOSE... but Undercover and Pro-Street made me cry they were so bad. The NFS:S isn't out yet, so here's hoping... but let's hope it doesn't end up being NFS:Sh!t... (Driving you car as an automatic better NOT be an option... lolol)

That looks A LOT like Codemasters' GRID. http://www.shackvideo.com/?id=11950

Looks alright. Why would you play a racing game in first-person?

Did you guys accidentally put up a Grid video? Anyhow, I think I'll stick with Grid. I don't need to put money in a game that's already been done and probably a helluva lot better.

This is like the Internet Explorer 8 of racing games

Just drop the marketing word "realistic" and well be fine :)

Looks like a game that no one really needs..
Everything been done in GRID already.
Maybe with not as good graphics, but hell, there is something called fun as well. And I doubt just another DTM racing game such as Shift is bringing this to us any better than GRID already does.

It's also funny how in each scene (around 5 imes) the car of the player goes A LOT faster than anyone else. Can anybody tell me why??
2 times he drivers twice as fast compared to the others just for the effect of speed in the video? lame and unrealistic.

Really lame effort and no step forward into racing games if that's all we can expect...

_RISK SOMETHING_ FOR ONCE IN THE NFS SERIES.

Waaiiiit a minute here.... I've played that game before. I think it was called GRiD or PGR3 or something....

I was excited after the video interview and after watching this video I can wait. A big plus is that some Simbin guys are working on this title and we can forget that they are responsible for some of the best racing simulation games. Five little shacks for this game :)

that definitely looks great, the last need for speed i've played was probably "porsche unleashed" or whatever its called.

Codemaster's support of Grid seems to be at a lul (at least concerning PC content). NFS:S will have more cars and more tracks (iirc). But mainly I hope it breaths new life to PC racing.
