but the difficulty is not on the hardest "professional" mode

review is out at ign
9.0

ok ok
i am slow

anyway i hope the physics really make the cars drive at least something like gtr2

I understand that u hav the urge to say every best sim out thr use gMotor2 but NFS Shift is not using Gmotor2 engine
An interview with the dev of shift (Ian Bell) even criticized GTR2 (which use gMotor2 engine) for lacking in some area such as not measuring some parameters quickly

sorry no offense
can use english
i am having hard time trying to understand what u guy talking about
so is this game good? is it a good sim with nice graphics?

good lah u guys
can play dy
i am thinking of getting this as my BD present

wow.. the bugatti became puke-gatti

luckily i didnt get this as my BD present.
From all the comments by sim fan, this game isnt even close to simbin title.
I am thinking of another reason for this, maybe is because all the cars dont hav realistic parameters input to the physics engine. So it came out semi-sim.. For example, something like unrealistic tyre grip value
that is my opinion

i think u are the 1st to say grid is more realistic than shift

testing the 'full demo' version of the game
the car is quite easy to control compare to rFactor/LFS simulators.
Less spinout compared to GTR2. Feels like the car tyres really stick on to the road.
but maybe it is just like what the developers said from autosimsport, real car are easy to drive slow and fast. I will wait and see before giving out any more comment.
BTW, i do feel like the car behave a little bit like RBR. Maybe the tyre physics is written by one of the developer from RBR.

give this game 8.5/10

Things i like :-
+Beautiful cockpit view that makes me feel i own that car
+Nice engine sounds
+Sense of speed when u start to reach 200kmh
+most of my fav cars are in the list

The only thing that giv me frustrations is :-
-Option for control couldnt be changed during racing.
-Replay music is lame.
-No mouse control.
-Ai is noob when cornering, and like to test ur reaction skill by suddenly applying brake in front of u.
-Damage modeling is badly done
-cannot save l33t replay

i am wondering where does all the things that ian bell promised to deliver in the interview go? feel like getting cheat. Now placing my hope at rFactor2

i did read some comments from the net saying that shift is unrealistic coz by applying full throttle during a corner, the car will spin out.
i bet if he played GTR2, he will jump and shout it's an arcade game

this one really makes me

just bought r35 in game
wow.. that car got a lot of oversteering. Like a mad cow running around.
I slide the slider to understeer and it became crazier and gave me more oversteering.

i just hoping someone can mod the photomode.bff
damn annoying cant disable the UI when doing screen capture.

Thanks invince_z
i missed out that part cos i am using a 360 controller. Cant rotate car view using the stick then i gav up. But i didnt know that numpad can be used to rotate camera.

i always downshift 1st then brake bit till the line become green then apply half throttle/controlled throttle till i exit the corner then full throttle then up shift
mayb my technique is slow

this update doesnt fix anything much
still hoping for a major update

mayb is "full version demo"

i tried the physics mod for shift
they changed the grip level to 100%, down from 120% which is originally from PRO mode..

now the cars behave more realistic and much harder to drive too
i did some testing, before modding the physics file, i tried to launch my high power 700 hp bmw by revving at redline and suddenly engage gear 1.. the car just went straight without losing traction like a 4wd which is not suppose to be for a rwd.
after changing to the modded physics, launching the car with above method will make the car lose traction at the back thus losing some control.
