NFS SHIFT: Drift Mode Announced
EA officially announced today that drifting is coming back to NFS Shift, better than ever before.

More details and screenshots are available at the official site, plus a short video at the official NFS page on Facebook.

After a few weeks of quiet since E3 we're pleased to reveal a new game mode for Need for Speed SHIFT: Drifting. In the last few years the sport has rocketed in popularity to point where there are large, successful tournaments around the world. When it came time to add it to SHIFT we wanted to ensure the mode was treated with the same degree of accuracy as the rest of the game so we worked closely with Team Falken driver and World Champion Vaughn Gittin JR. Initially the plan was for Vaughn to play the game a few times and give some feedback but he ended up spending more than 100 hours with the team to make sure the Drift experience was as close to real-life as possible.

wow 100 hours! It'll be interesting to see how drifting works in the cockpit view I for one found it a lot harder to drifting in the previous games using bumper view than a 3rd person perspective.

Re: NFS SHIFT: Drift Mode Announced
They make it sound like they designed a new separate physics engine just for drifting. Interesting. The same thing was done with ProStreet, and look how that turned out...

I don't think You can compare this Drifting with that You've seen in NFS PS - compare then with GRID!

Re: NFS SHIFT: Drift Mode Announced
It's difficult to judge how accurate a drifting physics engine is just based on one movie trailer. Trust me, I don't want it to be like ProStreet either. Before PS came out, though, all the movies they released made the drifting look terrific, which they could just as easily do with Shift.

Re: NFS SHIFT: Drift Mode Announced
I don't think so, even SH!FT has itself a new engine, I cannot imagine drifting & driving like in NFS PS!

=> I think You should try out Race Driver Grid 1st, before You do what You said - I'm sure You'll like it!

Was there any reason to slam DriftingFan for that? No, I don't think so.

This is good news. I hope it isn't to hard in 1st person view. Never could get the hang of that with Race Driver Grid.

Re: NFS SHIFT: Drift Mode Announced
Nice to have this mode back. 
Now let's see how it works... it does look good, but will it play good? My standard for drift goes to Race Driver GRID. A bit arcade, but that drift handling was the most realistic and good looking drift I ever played in a racing game.
