Posted on August 17th, 2009 in Console, Need for Speed Shift
EA has released a rather strange new teaser for their upcoming Need for Speed Shift title which you can watch below.
Much more interesting are the two blog posts by Gamerzines.com who got to check out a preview version of Shift. They give us a detailed look at the game’s tuning and upgrade options, two of the main elements in Shift’s career mode.

Virtua_LM has released the Fuji Speedway for rFactor, adding a historical one of Japan's most important race tracks to the simulation. Based on the version released for F1 Challenge, the track has been extensively modified and revamped to make most of rFactor's graphic engine. Included are the 1982, 1990 & 1993 layouts of the track as well as the 1993 bike configuration. GTL, GTR2 & GTR Evolution versions of this release will be coming up soon! Located near the famous Mount Fuji in Oyama, Japan, Fuji Speedway was opened in 1963. The track was a popular venue for sports car races ...
Back in December, a new simulation software studio opened its doors as Reiza Studios officially picked up business. Now, the studio has revealed their first project, announcing the Formula Armaroli race car for rFactor. Made in co-operation with Armaroli Simulators, the Formula Armaroli car is a fictional open-wheel race car modelled after 80s Formula One machinery. The car weighs 540 kilos and is powered by a 650hp turbo engine, bringing some of the best action in Grand Prix history to the simulation. Everybody will be able to try the studio's first public project as the Formula Armaroli race car will be released ...
Jessica, Darin & Shaun of InsideSimRacing.tv were recently joined by Image Space Incorporated's Gjon Camaj who visited the guys for an interview in an upcoming SRT episode. ISI's head-honcho did not come empty-handed though as Camaj showed off rFactor 2's user interface for the very first time. Below are six screenshots of the interface, showing off what looks like a major improvement over rFactor's much criticised UI-system.Taking a closer look, the screenshots reveal some very interesting details as the task bar gives away the version number used by Camaj for the presentation - 0.783. Also, we´re starting to get an idea on the ...
About a year ago, Team NLC announced a sucessor to their popular VLN 2005 mod for rFactor, planning to bring the 2009 season of Germany's popular racing series to the simulation. For almost twelve months, the team has been quietly working in full force on their massive project and is now able to present us with a very big batch of renders to show off their progress. The renders show twelve different car models sporting various liveries. While some models like the Renault Clio or the Mini Cooper S have been converted, others have been equipped with new parts such as the ...
As promised, Codemasters have just released the first of their developer diary videos, introducing us to some of their staff and showing off first-ever moving footage of F1 2010 for the PC, Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Footage in the video has been taken from a pre-alpha version of the title that was shown-off in London today, showing us some gameplay action at Monza. Following their maiden Formula One title that was released only for the Playstation Portable and the Nintendo Wii, Codemasters will be bringing the 2010 Formula One season to the PC, ...

What’s the message

I think the message is; you have a choice of 3 better supercars but you’ll still pick the porker because you’re a fanboy.
Nah, I have nothing against porches really. Just everybody tends to buy them over here because it’s the only reasonable priced reliable sports car available for people with no imagination and lives that didn’t turn out as well as they hoped.

Looks like GTR2 + NFS. Not bad. Logic would dictate that if they put this many options into the tuning the physics would be good. But then again…

Thats pretty slick (except for the wooly Stig).
Be nice to see some proper PC footage.

That is the most retarded video yet. I think its strange that they hire a well known simulations crew to do their new (and revamped) NFS, and we have yet to see any footage aimed at the sim crowd.
Demoooo.

One of the most perplexing posts I’ve ever read on VirtualR. I wanted a porsche but I’m not going to buy one if it causes the local hoodie wearing teenagers to point at me and accuse me of having a lack of imagination and a life full of wasted potential. This is almost as bad as the time a homeless guy accused me of being a sell out.
