Need for Speed Shit...i mean SHIFT

Not sure if this has been posted......

It seems our darkest fears are true...

Particular nuggetts include:
“Die-hard Need for Speed fans don’t need to be worried. Shift is no simulation like GTR, it combines arcade racing with simulation-like physics comparable to Race Driver GRID.” - So... it is not a sim then..

While their engine seems to be good for some spectacular crashes and effects, damage apparently has little effect on the car’s performance and handling. Or as producer Suzy Wallace puts it: “Nobody should be forced to restart a race after a crash - That’s just frustrating.” - Oh i bloody hate it when i crash, and due to hitting a wall at speed, my car can no longer state that it comes with four wheels as standard.

It had so much promise....

I made the decision after Race Pro not to bother with console sims now and keep the serious stuff to the PC with the wheel.

Currently playing Midnight Club on the xbox and love it!

I live in hope that it will all come together.
I didn`t find RD Grid that bad a game either...
