That is SO wrong, I don’t know where to start. Laughable at best. One big nicely wraped lie served up by game developers, to market their product as “REAL” because reality sells as a term, but not as a gameplay element.
If you make it easy to drive and arcadish and succeed in marketing it as real you will have a business success.

Why even bother having a competition to find the 4 fastest shift drivers so they can then replicate what they do ingame in reallife… FAIL .. they could have picked any average joe who drives to work everyday and he would prolly get similar lap times in the real car too .. nothing to do with shift at all …. c’mon … JOYPADS ffs !

Next title could be
Need for Belated Promotional Poo
These things make me appreciate more the humble and silent products out there. Pretend to sell a game as a simulator, when there is not yet one, it’s a step too far.

Yeah, it should only have been 3 guys, so that everyone could get a place on the podium ;)

ThankYouVeryMuchEA and now I guess, it’s back to pimping rides, police car wrecking reatarded madness

This kind of crap makes me really pissed :P. I hope this doesn’t make the retards playing Shift think that it’s realistic.

There are so many things I can pick up on with this but I don’t know where to start, so I won’t :)

Was this like another marketing thing that failed to make it in time?

That’s what I meant by saying “not very surprising”

Ha. They were able to wreck all they wanted in Shift, to find the limits.
