Don't look at me. The fact that the PS2 doesn't get SHIFT pretty much leaves me out.

I can however, tell you that EA must have played some HIN while making this car list. The Scion tC would not be in there otherwise, I can guarantee you that.

What are you trying to say? That the Scion tC is exclusive to HIN? Because it's featured in Forza Motorsport 2.

And it is the vehicle used in a Celebrity Race in Monaco, so it is relevant to what SHIFT is doing with track racing.

That's just my guess. I don't have a 360 (or FM2), so that's the only experience I have with the tC.

I personally think that both EA and Slightly Mad Studio wouldn't publish the system requirements so early. They still have almost 3 months to optimize Shift's performance.

yeah I've got the same opinion as Korge they should be considered pretty average for a game coming out this year this is one of the biggest games companies in the world working on one of there biggest longest running series why would they have graphics from 4 years ago (though I guess that's kind of ironic hey Undercover!)

They are average, but then again - they want the game to be accessible to both gamers with hardcore specs and casual gamers with... not that powerful PCs.

If they made the system requirements too high, their sales wouldn't be too high (ProStreet, lol).

I think it looks very glossy and beautifully presented, and the all round driving experience is extremely well imitated and polished. I just can't wait to get my S13 and start tuning it, seeing how in depth the tuning, tweaking and customization is :D The track selection is mindblowing Brands Hatch and Silverstone, two of them most iconic tracks in my local area and of course the mighty :D :D :D Ebisu Drift Course :D :D :D Drifting around that in my drift spec S13 will just be incredibly amazing 8)

I cant wait for the drift mode also :D I hop it is hardcore :twisted: :wink:

Ugh... There was a Shift demo stand at Hot Import Nights tonight, but unfortunately I found it at the end of the night when they were shutting it down.

Apparently they had a tourny and the winner won a 360! As I walked up, the final three were playing... And they were all TERRIBLE. All three of them were spinning out left and right. I seriously think I would have had a good chance. I'm so pissed. Not only did I miss the tourny, but I didn't even get a chance to play it! :x

I gotta say though... It looks damn fun. The cockpit view looks fantastic.

I don't think I've seen this video of the Reventon @ Nordschleife posted yet.
This game is looking fantastic :)

That must have been leaning towards simulation settings because that looked much more fun and challenging than the other crap we've been seeing.

Of course there are a lack of details such as all the graffiti on the 'Ring... But I guess that's no surprise for an NFS game.

Oh, yes. Looks like they spent more time on the trackside gazebos, instead of on details which actually exist.
