Com8: i doubt this is a nordschleife pic, the castle is nowhere near the track as shown in the screenshot…

Can’t wait for the demo too. As of now my plans for this year involve buying 3 games (NFS: Shift, RACE On and DIRT 2) and possibly resurrecting my junkheap amateur rally car. Demos will decide weather I buy two of these games (Shift and DIRT), which will be crucial for my car plans: I found a 1400cc engine with two carbs for my Super 5 that costs as much as a new game!

Well I appreciate EA’s (SMS) sense of reality regarding the system requirements:

Did you know the official sys.req. of Microsoft FlightSim 10 (FSX)?

# PC with 1 GHz or higher processor
# 256 MB of system RAM for Windows XP SP2 / 512 MB Vista
# 32 MB DirectX 9 compatible video card required

Pure nonsense for anybody who knows FSX…

- Lookin forward to the release of Shift! – hope there will be a demo.

Strange requirements, but I will be able to play it on maximum settings.

Hope this game works on XP 64bit. You’d be surprised how many don’t. Does any one know if the game will support TrackIR? A necessity for dual monitor setups.

Oh dear,I had intended to get it on PS3 first (as all my work mates have PS3’s and we play pretty much most evenings for an hour or two), and then on PC for the possabilities of modding and more sim style multiplayers,but my tired old PC wont run it,all the other specs are more than enough RAM,Grphics card and sound ect,but only P4 2.8
Was intending to have a new Phenom 955 quad system by sept,but the current money situation pretty much rules it out
DOH ! and double Doh!!!!!!!

It doesn’t seem to require too much performance, nice.

Im not, because now its not Blackbox doing it. Yes its still from one of the most dissapoint companies of videogames BUT it’s being developed by Slightly Mad Studios (my hopes are in them not in EA).

That pic is a Mclaren F1, look it has 2 rear view mirrors inside. The angle of the screenshot messes it up, the steering wheel is in the center :)

cheers

I hope I’m not the only one who sees this whol EA “sim” style as skeptical?

f0xx — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 11:14:21 +0000

What car is that? Its a british or japanese car..i can see the F1 so it might be the mclaren but doesnt he have centered wheel?

Requiments are in the average, and the fact that minimum requirements dont ask more than a P4 are good news :)

Thats pretty standard requirements for new games.

Good requirements: hopefully even people with a one or 2 years old pc will be able to run the game at its best.

i doubt this is a nordschleife pic, the castle is nowhere near the track as shown in the screenshot – a previous shift screenshot showed the nordschleife with correct red/white curbs, why should they change…

Give us the ability to mod the PC version and Shift will be a favorite for years to come. Many will praise your awesomeness!

That’s some kind of fictional Nordschleife. There isn’t such a peice of track (regardless the curbs), although the castle is the one of Nurburg. May not be such a bad thing.
Their totally fictional version of Monaco in NFS-Porsche made me eventually buy my first proper sim
