Very nice. I can't wait for a demo... I really wanna try this game out. I hope not to be disappointed.

[XCROSSX]

cool, looks like we will really need to use the perfect line to win.

[TheNoobofFerraris]

I've missed track explanations like this. Really looking forward to taking on this course.

ROAD AMERICA !!!!!!!!

[TRANSFORMER]

Well... I'm not that experienced in most of the NFS Track's @ all, but what I am truly waiting 4 to see is "Brands Hatch" or "Nürburgring" previews... Brands Hatch I can remember from DTM 1 (Codemasters), it's a very nice track I really like and Nürburgring I know since Gran Turismo 4, it is a track 4 the most experienced people (Pro Driver's) I want to learn to drive fast and clean...

[Summ]

I really hope you can skip those intros, or it will get old REAL fast!! Every time you crash and want to restart or you get thrown into a wall by the AI or you simply want to do the same race to get better = the same intro. If you can't skip it, it will be a nightmare!

Imagine the intro for the NurburgRing... that's gonna take what? 15 minutes?

[Hydro_PT]

Those intro movies will be played only when you race on that track for the first time. At least it makes more sense that way... you don't need to see an intro like that everytime you want to race on a certain track.

[TRANSFORMER]

@Summ!

Well... I cannot expect to see anything NEW from NFS SH!FT, but 1 or 2 video's a week, that's a way too weak 4 Me... I would then better watch this video of Nürburgring that would take 15 minutes as You said, You won't do that?!^^

New gameplay video

[TRANSFORMER]

I don't want no more to see any gameplay video's because I want to TRY it myself - deal or no deal ?!?

[Hydro_PT]

Oh shiznit, I'm getting over excited with this game! I can't see more videos... I want a demo... NOW!

Please, please, let the game be good... don't disappoint again EA, please please please!

[Andrew@NeedforSpeed.com]

The track guide videos don't feature in the game; they're special videos I had made to show off the course and to give people a bit of help getting round them. We've got another eight planned for release over the next few weeks.

[Hydro_PT]

Oh I never thought somebody from the team was here posting. Hehe this is nice.

Let me tell you Andrew, these videos would be nice to have in the game for the career. A little introduction for each track when you race on it for the first time would be cool.

Anyway, since you're reading this, don't you want to tell us when the demo is going to be release? Not a specific date, you probably aren't allowed to share that info, but maybe a little hint?

[driverx15]

a hint would be great

[TRANSFORMER]

I have to agree with Hydro_PT about the visit from the VIP, Andrew, @ NFSUnlimited... and I was sure that those track previews are just a PROMO' 4 SH!FT as well... Yeah a "Test Drive" right now would be perfect timepoint 4 US... I hope so the Demo will come up very soon - I would suggest 09/09/01 or 8 day's later would not hurt, too!

Besides I've read the New "Games Aktuell" Magazine (German-Magazine), that SH!FT can top FM3 and GT5, but what hurt Me the most is that SH!FT not focused on Tuning anymore... it is how it was said before, that it is focused on the truly Driver Experience and Realism, but what I miss now is the "Tuning" part... I've seen the video's and I have got to say that there are ONLY 3 BK's... I hope more different Racing Spoilers... and what I want 2 wish 4 is maybe 10 or more different Rims... Vinyls are OK. Whereas I haven't seen the Interior in the Menu yet & I cannot say how to modify it there...

NFS SH!FT's:

Pro's:

Realistic Driver AI
Motivated Career Mode
Game Technics

Contra's:

Optical Tuning (limited)
Usual Car Choice (typical)
No Weather Effects (normal)

PS: I would suggest to keep this SMS-Team and expand the EVO' Time of NFS to 3 Years!
