Autolog

At the press time did EA say "Shift 2: Unleashed also incorporates the next generation of Need for Speed Autolog - the groundbreaking network that connects friends for epic head-to-head races and compares player stats for the ultimate social racing competition."Marcus Nilson said that Autolog has changes since Hot Pursuit, "Yeah. You racing in the game becomes the fuel for other people to race, it's brilliant. Slightly Mad Studios has been working with Criterion from really early on exchanging ideas and executing on the core tenants that Criterion came up with. We're implementing it slightly differently but integrating more into the core experience of what the game is. I don't want the game to feel like I have a career and then I can go online to compete with my friends, I want it to feel like one whole. Autolog really weaves everything together into one compelling package. If you race this game and you beat people on your friends list, that's going to give you more XP to propel you in your career."

from some of the gameplay video this game looks good, the sound is very good. i wonder if the actual game is using the sound from the gameplay video.

*cough* We shall see......

Finally a game where you look at the chicane when cornering.

err... you mean the apex?

btw anyone here ady got their copy?

takder demo ke ? adoi...

game ni terbaek.. shift1 aku dah abis (versi ps3).. shift2 kena beli nih... >_>

anyone oledy got their copy ? give review fast2

beli arr bro..pbbseller jual RM140 untuk xbox360.. bole MP sesame..

untung arr ko... ko x beli pon..

huk oloh kudeen.. jgn emo..

aku semua tunggu seken... malas nk beli baru...
yg penting aku bole layan gears2 mp jom insane

bought~ =P

Wait i thought GT5 is the most realistic racer ever?

How much? Where ? Nice ? I am interests !

Hoi, why at P-A list only have Shift 2 Limited Edition? This game dont have normal version? Only limited edition?

Limited Edition = Normal Version.

So whats up with the limited edition tag?

Also preordered, PC version.. haven't arrived yet.

I liked Shift 1.. hope this doesn't fail the hype too much.

the review is up,the helmet cam is seriously nice....especially when u crash,awesome.....

Helmet cam nice but your milage may vary.

got a t shirt along with the pc version. what did xbox owners get? haven't the time to install and play. going to do so after work. add me on autolog.

we are on xbox hello? even if we actually add you on autolog u think u would be able to see us ? lol

The visor cam is so hard. The handling is so different than the other views. After an hour or so I'm still trying to adapt to this view. I'm not giving up just yet.

damn, no across platform multiplayer? (x.x)

i heard that the handling is not really good
is it true?

aku main shift1.. okay je...

shift2 kena main la jawabnya.. lalalalalaaaa.....

control feels not as precise as fm3. i was struggling on the control from the very beginning with the MS Wheel and go back to gamepad after upped 1 lvl because it's feel too frustrated with the wheel.

when play this game makes me remember Gran Turismo 1 & 2 for PS1. where you bump into other car during corner to avoid using brake as much as possible, but instead here it is the AI that doing the bumping to your car. and the car too easy to lose control, AI bump into you, your car spins, you bump into AI, your car spins. your car go sideways a bit, it will rollover.. the AI car hardly will spins or rollover.

I agree, the handling is out of control. Every race feels as though I'm doing doing a drift event. The AI...

There's still that feel that the car is sliding into the corners. Tire feedback not as good nor precise like Forza 3. It's a bit vague.

Those of you having problems with AI bumping into you, a question. Do you bump into AIs in any of the race prior? If I understand the AI correctly, they responds to the way you drive. If you're an overly aggressive driver (ie bumps into other cars, pushy, aggressively slamming the door shut when they try overtake, etc), then they will be aggressive as well.

Mine they actually give you room to race and actually try to avoid contact. And they do make mistakes, I've seen AI take the 130R on Suzuka too fast and struggled to maintain control, fishtailing like mad. Another case AI so eager to overtake till the fella overcooked the the braking point.

These are all on Elite handling.

Also those who are struggling with the controls try tweaking the controller's advanced setting. This might help. http://forum.needforspeed.com/eaforum/post...st/5531450.page

Those on wheels, this can be a guide. It's for G27 and PS3 but it explains what each of those Advanced settings are for.

the qualifying race, i was wondering is it the GTR have been modded to be RWD.
AI car also cheating. give me Elise and ask to go against GTR, Vantage, and R8


no bumping from my part, coz if bump then my car will spins or fishtailing. from forza 1 i already stop using bump cornering. i don't really mind to receive some bumping from the AI, just cannot tahan even the slightest bump will result in my car spinning.

thanks for the link, hopefully can make the control more precise.

No bumping here either since a slight bump will send my car to oblivion.

That annoying sliding problem gets worse the higher u go up the car class. Something is really not right with the physics engine.

It does make for a great replay though.

the handling of car in shift 2 is different compare shift,the steering feel berat when cornering

i hate the soundtrack. help is on the waaaayyyyy.....

love the drift event where the car tires that will systematically lose all traction on the last lap.

you need to adjust the "steering deadzone" on the option, the default way too high. thats why feel slow response. then adjust "steering sensitivity" depends on how responsive you want it to be.

i think i heard Lady Gaga's Bad Romance in the game. gaa gaa ga ga gaaa.....

And what's with the AI cars having higher Tier than mine every time no matter how I upgrade my car

AI cars will have the similar PI as your car. so if you upgrade your car, the AI will upgrade to match.

And to those who want to join the MP, please provide at least 1 car for each class...

I'm giving up, my finger hurts from all the struggling with the handling.

Wheel lagi worse, I got blisters at the hook of my thumb...

I enjoyed Shift 1 a lot and had high hopes for Shift 2 but the handling totally ruined it. My thumb is aching now.

yup,the handling ruined the game

the race to win GT500 an AE86 is really hard! manage only to get lesser 30 points to beat the 1st position, but still get the GT500. and that AE86 is damn fast, max upgrade (except Works) on R32 with NOS running only can get it to be side by side with the AE86... luckily AWD strong points is at cornering. maybe should use Supra for easier race.

surprisingly, after moved up to B Events race, it become easier. even loaner car is not underpower compare to the AI. and R35 V-Spec with engine swap deserve the name Godzilla, practically owns every race.

which car is the best in terms of handling ? i try chevrolet, but still hard to control the car

Which class?

hello, ada siapa main game ni lagi?
