dang. wrong year for the scirocco. should be an 80s model.

XMDrifter
08-02-2009, 06:37 PM
um, there is an R34...1999 Skyline R34...
and the old muscle cars...i really just dont get it. they make lke, what? 300-400 hp? sayin' that's better than the 500+ hp vettes and vipers and GT's?
but who knows, NFS:S might add cars to DL, and you might get your old muscle. but shift is more of a track racing thing, and old muscle cars dont come up often in road course races.

^ya, and unfortunatley with it being all track racing there won't be any open world racing, btw its not coming out for nintendo systems, they get some crappy *** nfs nitro, the graphics look sooo bad and the game play looks even worse

firebird999
08-02-2009, 07:04 PM
duh, nitro is arcade style.

yeah i saw the two in GI and when i saw NFS:S i was hyped about the game then i turn the page and there it was NFS:N . soo disapointed. but with a brithday comeing up and alot of PS3 hints to my parents i think things will turn out ok.

08-02-2009, 09:43 PM

w/e it still looks like crap, i feel sorry for whoever has to play it

a little off topic, but i've been playing nfsuc more latley and yesterday i was whaching youtube vids about the game and only like half of them looked like my ps3 game, i read a comment that said the games plotline varies from console to console (xbox, ps3 wii), is that true? (i'm done the game (or within like 5%))

how do you not get that... it doesnt matter how fast it is for me. honestly playing online i hate everyone who parade around their lambo's. of course your gunna win with that. it takes no skill. and the trying is what makes it fun :bigwink: plus i just love the classic muscle...

Because Shift is about circuit, and classic muscle cars don't handle well in that regard. Period. Yes there are a few fine examples, as in the trans-am series racers, but on a whole scale, not their game.

well ur character is new in town and pretty much b4 u know what the games about you have outrun some cops in a red 370z, then theres a short vid and you learn that some asian lady is taking over some guys investigation (they're cops) about some cars stolen from the docks and you are the undercover driver for the women, from there you get a blue 240...you end up in a street crew, and you help them steal some cars yata yata yata, you have to turn on them cuz its your job, then you find out the asain lady is not a cop and she tries to kill you but then the real cops show and she runs after that you race her and smash her car to finish the game...thats for PS3

Just downloaded the demo of it for 360, and I have to say, I am VERY impressed.
Much much much more realistic than previous NFS games, I will most likely be buying it soon.

I've got it and I agree with imnotmikal. It's reaaallly realistic. Especially drifting. NFS Pro Street was simply turn in and full throttle. In NFS Shift, you have to brake, turn in, feather the throttle, punch the e-brake, then make sure you don't spin out. It's a pain in the ***, but fun as hell ;)

How is it drivng with a manual transmission? In NFSUC they don't even have manual (for PS3 atleast) which leaves kind of PO'd. I whatched a couple trailers latley and i think i might get it prolly around christmas, but i also wanna get COD MW2,

I haven't tried Shift yet, but if you want some challenge pick up GT4 and start drifting. It's a real kick in the ***, but fun. Glad to hear NFS is actually making you DRIVE the car again. You try the drifting in the later games and compare it to UG1 and 2 and it just makes you ask, WTF where they on?

In Shift, I think they overdid the motion simulation, meaning how much the screen bounces around. Seemed worse in the BMW and got old pretty quick. Sweet game though.

is this what the game is actually like on a PS3, I hope its just this vid thats 'unsatisfactory' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQrt6yQiJGI

My wife rented it last week, she is a big fan of the NFS arcade games, Most Wanted, Undercover, etc.... the last simulation one sucked and she refused to play it but this one she wanted to give a try.... took almost 4 days for me to get to play it and now I'm tearing it up :)

However I can't decide if I love it or loathe it.... the graphics are sweet, so are the car choices and upgrade options but trying to get the right handling mode is a nightmare the computer always seems to be doing to much, if your on the lower settings then you can't outbreak anyone because the computer controlled breaking kicks in way to early.

I do like the fact that if your in a big accident your guy gets stunned and takes a few seconds to recover before you can drive off but I don't like how some of the supercars drive, for example the Bugatti Veyron invitational race or the Lambo Gali vs. Lambo Murch races the cars are just terrible but if I do the SRT10 vs. GT race its really nice and fun to compete in.

I'll keep playing because I still have to fully complete tier 3 and haven't even start 4 yet, I am enjoying it but we shall see what my final thoughts on it are....

Oh and just for fun I'm currently rocking a works converted Escort RS Cosworth and an Evo IX Stage 2. The Cossie beats most things.....

I usually just spin the other guy out in this kinda race XD Easy way to win.

10-07-2009, 06:38 PM
Lol I did that on the Lambo invitational because I couldn't get either car round the track :) It works but I'm trying to do as much as I can by myself with minimal computer assistance :)

i played that today at a LAN arcade in my town :) drifting is even possible in track races :o

Yeap if you got the skills you can drift at any point....

darn...i want to buy this game....is it mouse steer or keyboard or steering wheel steer?

taiwanesekid05
10-08-2009, 12:02 AM
I use keyboard steer. It's a bit sensitive for me, but I got used to it.
