SHIFT Interview With Ian Bell
by Bojan at 18:24 • Comments (5) • Link to news article

A new interview is up on the official NeedforSpeed.com website, this time with Slightly Mad Studios' Ian Bell. In 5 lengthy answers to just as many questions, Ian explains in detail the physics model in the game, damage and it's impact on performance, track detail and more.

Those of you who were expecting a casual racer, think again:
Quote:

We have a full realism hardcore mode called Pro that you can choose to race in from the start that will feel natural and comfortable as well as raising the bar for handling compared to anything out there (or due out soon) for all of our hardcore race sim fans. This can be combined with one of three AI difficulty levels, and on the Hard setting, the AI will fight extremely hard and give no quarter - even the most talented racers out there will find a great challenge here.

SHIFT Driver Profile
by Bojan at 19:16 • Comments (13) • Link to news article

New details about the Driver Profile feature in Need for Speed have emerged through an official press release:
Quote:

Driver profile is a tailor-made career mode based on four key game play components:

1. Personality - a player's driving style determines whether they are an aggressive or precise driver.

2. Success - as in every race, the ultimate goal is to finish at the top of the podium.

3. Profile points - every car passed, every corner mastered, every opponent taken out generates profile points.

4. Badges - these unique icons bring individuality and style to each player's driver profile, as each player races and completes top achievements.

As a player's driver profile develops through the course of the game, it creates rivalries, triggers specific challenges and even unlocks vehicles and customization options. Need for Speed SHIFT's multiple reward systems keeps players in each race regardless of their position.

"The new driver profile feature in Need for Speed SHIFT gives players full control of how they progress through game," said Patrick Soderlund, Senior Vice President of EA Games Europe. "In SHIFT, how you drive is who you are behind the wheel."
