Need For Speed Shift

[FordGT90Concept]

Keyboard, like I always have.

can you upgrade a RX-7 to a point where you can race cars in tier 4?? like the lambo reventons etc etc?? so basiclly..upgrade the Rx-7 which is a tier 2 to a tier 4 stats

As far as I can tell, cars don't change tiers. If you buy a tier 1 car and buy all the upgrades for it, it will remain a tier 1 car (unlike NFS games since Underground).

i can change my RX-7's teir mines RL though so its kinda cheating

Well they said pro u need a steering wheel. This is probably why you cant drive with it. Consider buying an xbox controller for your pc. Or if you have an xbox just use a controller from there.

My bro would use a keyboard in the previous ones. Not sure how he did it. I used a nyko before the xbox one.

I like Pro the best with keyboard and have won 12 consecutive races so far by a long shot. I'm going to get the 25 easy wins before bumping the AI up a notch. Mind you, I beat ProStreet with a manual tranny on keyboard as well as Most Wanted; both with assists off.

When i beat pro street i had to use casual on some races. but i was playing through it again this time with the xbox controller. the gas and break have more control. Got through half of it roughly all on king, and assists off.

This with my wheel i have all assists off except stm. i was spinning out coming out of corners.

i shut off assits in like all my racing games i think they suck hardcore idk about anyone else but assits seem to "freeze" up my cars i cant control them but i like my cars more loose than most so i might be biased.

Assists aren't for racing. They're for people driving 60 MPH and emergency braking or driving on slick surfaces. Of course, some cars like Mercedes-Benz have the assists tuned in for high speed driving as well (*cough*Autobahn*cough*). NFS doesn't account for that so it just all sucks.

Youre trying to tell me EA screwed up again?? well my copy is still shipping so ill see soon enough

if you're hoping for a froza/gran turismo with less cars and tracks then you will be disapointed. Cant say it came close in terms of physics.

Was looking through the tracks. Nurburgring is in 3 parts. not sure it covers all of it or not total. i hope it does.

Heh, the good news is that they stick you in the BMW M3 and make you take a practice lap so you can choose your assists, transmission, and the lot. That's the only reason why it is bareable. It lets you pick your poison.

i used to shut off all my assits to be like man now im super good at this game but the game when i realized it was absolutely rediculous was underground or the second one "wanted"? eaither way underground i was like WTF is this S@#$? i would be going like 130 and try to turn left or something and it would CRAWL i was like wtf TURN LEFT and then it would like autobrake and im still crawling left slam into a wall loose then i was like F@#$ this disabled everything and all of a sudden my car responded...it was like night and day it was turning and speeding up drifting was all sorts of easy with assits off.......it was like heaven.

Dont think most wanted had assists. you could turn into sharp corners going an insane speed. Man it was fun

well one of them all i remember i it had assits and then their were a bunch of consecutive ones after it that also had assits....either way they totally blow. their is one game though i will leave accel/brake assit on for its totally unrelated but its GRID that game is like wtf hard on easy with assits off.

That's like going from Casual to Pro. In Casual, you don't even have to brake, just hold the gas down and it will brake for you. It's hard to lose in casual but it also sucks to win.

Prostreet had a difficulty level assits as well as stm, abs, and tcs. And it was more difficult on turns. but most realistic ive seen so far from nfs i think. though i havent played pre most wanted.

ya i play pro street its more realistic the ones b4 it imo are ways behind in realism.

To date, I think Porsche Unleashed was the most realistic. You had to pony up to repair your car so you made damn sure not to befriend walls. In some cases, you'd lose if the car received any damage at all be it hitting a car, a wall, or a light pole (curse those). You couldn't brake and maneuver but that was its only real shortfall.

The blinkers worked on the road. In showcase mode, doors opened, soft top up or down, and hoods open/shut. On the 911 Turbo, the tail fin even deploys once you get going fast enough like the real deal. And all of this was back in 2000. NFS downgraded since then.

 

[Hybrid_theory]

Is there any nfs games i should really check out that was before most wanted?

Agreed, i dont even play it anymore or else i'd get peeved at these new ones.

Hi, can't bother reading all the posts. Can anyone say if this game is more like a racing simulator (GTR, rFactor, LFS...) than arcade-ish as it was announced? I don't want it to be as pro as GTR etc, but I would love if the racing part of the game is more simulation than arcade, more simulation than Race Driver series for example. Thanks in advance.

If Shift was liek Porsche unleashed adapted according to the realism of today in terms of physics etc it would be perfect.

What you are hoping for is basically what they achieved. If you set everything to pro it is basically like gtr except no 900 degree wheel detection. But with assists breaking/steering assists it is more of an arcade. so you have the choice. but i recommend to use some controller or wheel. or youll have problems like fordgt has.

Note: steering is a bit clunky and takes getting used to with a 360 controller. tho i didnt have deadzones set to 0% at this point

 

[Benetanegia]

Don't worry, you'll never catch me playing a game with a controler that is not supposed to be used for that genre. I have the G25. No way I would be playing GTR, rFactor or LFS otherwise.

I do like simulators, but I want a game that is a little bit more relaxing, more forgiving, as to say. A game that I don't have to be so concentrated, but whose driving experience isn't as meaningless and hollow (for me) as in previous NFS or Race Driver games.

I should Fraps some 1337 keyboard drivin'. Best of all, it only takes one hand.
