Wow, this caught me by suprise (apart from NFS: World Online). This announcement came very-very early indeed but since they are releasing it on Summer, the timeline is logical.

NFS is going to be circuit racing game again, just like ProStreet and yes, finally a cockpit view! rclxms.gif

QUOTE
Second, regarding other games in the sim racing genre. We see Shift joining the ranks of the world's top simulation racing games with authentic cars and tracks but it definitely offers its own signature look and feel. Shift represents the true driver's experience. Traditional simulation driving games tend to focus on replicating a car's performance, Shift moves beyond that by combining a players unique driving style with accurately modeled cars to really drive home what it feels like to be behind the wheel.

We're also bringing the built-by-racers authenticity via core technology. Need for Speed is renowned for capturing speed and a unique style of racing, Shift continues that through an all-new sophisticated visual interface. For example, there is a three-dimensional HUD that mimics driver head movement, inertia and G-forces. The depth of field also adjusts based on the speed of the car; so when the car is travelling at high speeds the perspective will shift to the distance putting the car/cockpit out of focus.

And we're bringing a brand new perspective to the action with a cockpit view. This view highlights the authenticity and lavish detail on the vehicles and provides a more realistic and immersive vantage point of the action. This ‘first-person mode' also comes with a free-look camera on the right thumbstick so the player can really appreciate their surroundings and also get the low-down on their on-track competition.

i am more interested to NFS World Online!
It's time exclusive for Asia!

Asia loved MMO mah, that's they released it here first.
It's not totally exclusive btw.

QUOTE(VonDrake @ Jan 30 2009, 11:49 PM)
Does this look like GRID to anyone?
*
I second that.
But I think I know why NFS Shift looks like that, based on the interview at Gamespot:

Slightly Mad Studios includes developers that worked on highly acclaimed PC simulation racing titles GT Legends and GTR 2.

Free to play online but still need to buy the installer, rite?

Are you referring to FIFA Online 2 installer at 7-11? laugh.gif

QUOTE(CZero @ Jan 31 2009, 03:04 AM)
lolwut? that's not call free anymore lol. laugh.gif I think it's going to be something like this.

Playing is free, but of course you later ended up wanting to upgrade and pimp your ride, right? Heh, that's where ppl start spending real money, like any other free MMO out there. sleep.gif
*
Most probably he meant that there's no monthly fees involved. There are couple of MMO that you have to buy its installer but no monthly fees. For example, FIFA Online 2 installers in available at 7-11 for RM 2. laugh.gif

And yeah, you are right. That's how the company get their incomes. Micro transaction om nom nom brows.gif

Just wait and see if they can screw this up. Heck, I think they might biggrin.gif
By the way, can anyone confirm which is true, Shift is only for consoles or will it available for PC?

Coming to PC as well.
Check teh interview at Gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/news/6203924.html

They see grid won the title of best racing game in 08 in most rewards, they follow that path.

The best racing games of 08 is burnout paradise ...but of course, this is overall speaking, since BP only came out on PC recently.
For PC, yeah I guess it's GRID. nod.gif

Nah...pple wouldn't be able to compare Shift with Undercover.
Instead, pple would start to compare it with ProStreet as both have similar circuit-based settings.

Despite the resemblances with GRID, I hold my thought until at least I get to play a demo or something. Too early to judge. hmm.gif
