Aliasing may depend on what settings were used and (mainly) what platform the screens were taken from.

This bad mentality of EA to keep stacking on poor foundations when it comes to graphics is a problem I've seen steadily grow. Now I'm seeing these complex 3D cockpits on top... Do I need to mention the horrible performance bugs Underground had? *shakes head* Why can't they just package up their engine sound recordings for sale?

I don't think so: with that engine they can do everything they want without having to hide anything, imo. Blur just to hide low-res game world?

Pulling too hard in one direction resulted in a quick smack into a wall, but a little drifting was possible with enough skill. Shift isn't Grand Turismo, the reps assured me over and over, and I was certainly placing higher than I usually would in that series." i recommend to read the other previews.

I prefer rF2 screens for more natural look. Also have a suspiction that the purpose of the blure is mostly to hide the low resolution nature of the game world.

The cars seem to have appropriate weight and noticeable performance differences. There's a perceivable hint of assistance -- hence the dash of arcade-ness -- in the steering beyond the usual traction control and braking assists. We were told that the game will essentially have a driving model that eases new sim drivers into the concept and one for seasoned pros." Sounds like there will be a simulation mode as well.

So as I said before, even if Shift ends up being a disappointment from a sim perspective, they've still got what looks to be a fantastic platform to build future titles (sims!) from.

So far I've only read a couple but they've all been incredibly positive it must be said. Joystiq - "the game is 95% pure racing simulation, with a bit of arcade feel thrown in so as not to totally alienate players who aren't actual race drivers."

As long as it handles more realistically than Grid i'll definitely pick it up regardless if its a full sim or not. The GFX look fantastic.

Would be nice to see a proper sim utilise it one day. Who knows, if Shift does well we could theoretically see a number of titles using that engine.
