Just reading all the very positive and optimistic comments made here. It looks like the vast majority are optimistic this new SMS NFS title, is going to be very much a racing simulation, slso bringing us something a little bit special.

And many thanks for taking on the task of pushing forward our racing simulations. and n
Not just banging out slight updates to a STale outdated Engine And Making for the easy buck, thinking your doing the community a favour.

We salute you!

It sounds like the guy is describing GRID.

However, it also sounds like this will be the best Need For Speed ever made.

All Need For Speed games, including the ones that people claim were the most realistic, are all too arcadish. I have played every single one, and GRID is far more realistic but still not realistic enough as it was never supposed to be a sim.

What I am looking for is a proper track Racing Sim (not a driving and looking good or roaming the open world game). It should have good graphics like GRID. Or even graphics like Crysis!

Need For Speed is a very negative title for me. It always spells arcade. I hope it can be a serious sim like GTR.

Hopefully, Slightly Mad Studios will make Need For Speed a respectable title. I will definitely keep an eye on this one.

Now that you’ve let various sites go hands on with Shift it’s clear you’ve captured a lot of attention. Everyone is positive about the quality and innovation in this title…congratulations! We’re all looking forward to seeing some video footage when you can release it. One question that remains is where on the simulation spectrum is it? All the hands on articles I read declare it in the simulation zone but there were either mixed impressions or none given about whether Shift is full on GTR2 type of simulation or if it is leaning a bit toward the less intense end of the spectrum. (We’re also still waiting to hear more about Ferrari Project too…but we understand you don’t want to mix media focus at this point right now as Shift is gaining momentum…)

Yes, keep it to the way of simulators like GTR,GTR2 and GT Legends but improved lah i mean. And i hope this is a new start for need for speed simulation series and probably the end of arcade naive style racing series.

If realism is on par with GTR2 or Forza2, this is a definite buy for me!
Just don’t let it end in Arcade crap please
Screen looks incredible :O

Felipe Biagio, the Shif propose is to be a simulator, and we hope it will be kept. For tunning and things like that, they are preparing Nitro, an arcade game like all NFS before. Understood?
