Need For Speed Shift

[1Kurgan1]

Yeah at those speeds there just isn't going to be many road worthy vehicles capable of going much faster even then 1 - 2mph is a huge feat.

Heres a few pc screenies,all on high 1680x1050 8xaa 16xaf

I dont know how the hell i won,i'm crap at driving games.The car was sliding all over under power.

Nice driving, car looks mint. My first race on the demo I drove the Lotus like a bumper car to check out the damage effects, wish I had a screenshot lol.

Just played the demo, not really into racing games but thought this was awesome.

Came last one my first try, 5th on second try, then 1st on 3rd try.

I'm an aggressive driver I barge through on the corners ha ha.

Awesome graphics, I'm not playing it fuly maxed out but close enough. HD3850 so the game must be pretty optimised.

I hate the new body style. I guess I won't be buying this one.

In top gear to get to 400 km.h they were running 3-4 min in straight line. I don`t think that in shift exist such truck.

I know that as well. But I was maybe 1/4 of the way down the straight in the nurburgring when i maxed out at 310.

It was a 5 mile straight fyi

any1 having problems drifting using keyboard? coz I am! damn this game needs steering wheel.

Steering wheel doesnt help dude. You're stuck with 270 steering and i couldnt get good drifting after trying several times.

Gamespot's review said the drifting isnt very good.

 

[pantherx12]

You can adjust those of steering options and breaking options. you might need to tweek your handling in order to be able to drift.

I found the handling pretty realistic, if I went at it to hard I would loose control etc.

I managed to drift on 1 or 2 turns on the London track.

My handling is pretty good for driving, 900 steering would be nice. But because they offer "assistance" in the drifting part of the game. It's so easy to over steer.

it could be partially because ive done a fair bit of drifting in GT5p and LFS. So im used to full steering with my wheel.

Just ordered the logitech g25! its gonna be sooo awesome to play this and grid with it! =D Shift is actualy one of the newer games in the nfs series that i like! last one before that, was most wanted.

 

[RadeonX2]

I have my steering and braking assist to low and those controls (brake, steering, etc) to on or high but I haven't toy around with the settings in drift just on race yet. I have also set steering sensitivity and those other sensitivity to 100 but those dead zone I have left them to 0. Should I also play with those settings? the dead zone? or is it specifically for those who use steering wheel?

here's some screenies:

Nissan GT-R (R35) tier 3
lvl 3 performance & visuals unlocked

relaxing to drive even at high speeds, good handling & grip

If you want some really good car physics i recommend Live for speed. You can purchase an S1 or S2 license at their site.

No real cars or tracks, but there's a fair size online community and one of the best car physics games out there.

I used a 360 controller, and experianced no lag issues at 1920X1200 all high settings.


The Lotus is funk to drive, and somewhat unbelievable, and you get heavily penalized for missing shifts and not shifting at the correct time. And I hate the auto braking as you approach corners.

 

[pantherx12]

By the way guys, I can't recommend driving like an ass enough!

Rather then using your breaks when everyones slowing down at a corner, just aim for the closest closest to the lead position that you can reach, hand break turn just before you hit them and BAM they go flying hopefully take out everyone else and your free to come first

Maybe i should go to catalyst 9.9? I have a 4870x2 and do have the occasional fps slowage.

True, just watch out for the charger looking cars, tehy seem to be so heavy most other cars can't move them. This is also the reason I hate the auto braking, can't ram cars easily enough at tight corners.

ya I noticed bumping opponents sometimes they tend to roll over like a paper car. The damage suck little improvement over prostreet.

 

[pantherx12]

By closest closest, I did mean closest one. My brain is turning to mush : /

You can switch of auto breaking and steering assistance.

Or even ramp them up.

Check out the options menu before you start a race.

ur right the g25 wheel will be great but not in this game or grid. i have the microsoft force feedback wheel which is old now but in games like toca race driver and gtr2 and gtr evolution it is amazing cos all i do is turn off the force feedback in game not on the button on the wheel cos if u do that the wheel goes all slack with no feeling but if u turn it off in game the wheel stays a little stiff so it feels perfect.
now both grid and this game (well the demo) when u turn the force feedback off in game the wheel goes all slack with no feel to it at all and if u leave force feedback on then ur always correcting ur steering when driving in a straight line (its crap) so always best to leave it off but as i said with this game and grid u have no feeling at all to it.
if u have a steering wheel without force feedback and it is a little stiff all the time then im sure it will be good but i would be interested in hearing from anyone else with force feedback wheels like the g25 or cheaper as to what they have to say.
imo the best feeling racing game out there for a wheel is gtr evolution i dont know how to say it but it just feels right, i mean when u turn the wheel to go round a corner it turns perfect and when u come out of the corner its right where as in grid its almost like the sensitivity is far to high so ur always over steering and correcting what u have done just on a simple corner im sure there must be people out there know what im talking about and ive played with all settings and i just wish someone could tell me that this game leaves the force feedback wheel a little stiff when u turn the feedback off in game so it would be perfect but im sure it will be the same as the demo (or maybe this only happens with the microsoft one and the g25 stays stiff ?)

I've tried turning off both steering and braking assistance off tried it on Veyron destroyed the car in 1st corner it's good tho you can drive a car for other tiers so you could also experience them even if you haven't both one.

for me steering and braking assistance is only good for tier 1 & 2 using keyboard. Veyron instantly fly without them.

 

[Hybrid_theory]

I dislike gtr's forcefeedback it doesnt resist as a linear fashion like LFS and GT5 do.
