hypertek: im sorry but this is gonna be the same as Need for speed prostreet, you have to suffer and force yourself to play thru the game in hopes to unlock more cars/tracks in hopes that the game gets better.
It looks the same as prostreet with just more features… Too much hype around this game.

Dont exagerate…

YOu can cheat if you want all the cars and no fun getting them ^^

Its hilarious…. we can see clearly that the quality of Shift is way higher than any of its predecessors and yet theeres still ppl saying ‘oh no this is Pro street 2′ ^^

Would so much rather this game be fully SMS and no EA involved what so ever. Just take out the “need for speed” and keep “Shift”

Wouldn’t you rather see an announcement like this…

“Slightly Mad Studios to release the successor to GTR2, called SHIFT” Would of had none of the annoying EA touches.

What’s even worse is that I know I’ll buy this 100%, but wish there was someway to stick it to EA.

Ok my rant is over, just very annoying.

Yeah. I’m that good.

I prefer nothing on the screen while racing.

Maybe the person driving is the person who is also commentating at the SAME time, this would explain the bad driving! I want to race 20 of these drivers all the time haha

damn

DevonK:
Have to wonder – why is VR pandering to EA by giving site play to every bit of marketing crap EA pushes out about Shift? Could the site admin not exercise a modicum of editorial restraint and simply refuse to play along any more with this parade of self-promotion? Surely VR is not that desperate for content. One has to wonder what possible under-the-table deals are happening here…

I can assure you there are no under-the-table deals, do you really think EA gives a crap about a sim racing blog?

The thing is, there are people out there who enjoy every single preview video and screenshot, the Shift articles are always among the most popular stories of the day.

With the massive amount of visitors this site is getting now, it’s impossible to please everyone. What some people find interesting, others consider it boring or useless.

Since nobody forces you to read these stories or watch the videos, I don’t think it’s too much trouble to scroll down to the next story and let those who enjoy this material do it.

Jack_NL: Ofcourse its their fault :P
in the preview of yesterday here was a good point made why they dont release the Demo.
It could be that many people that pre ordered the gamewill cancel their pre order having played the Demo :P (joking!)
It can’t be that bad, will it?

German (p)reviews are all extremely positive (87% and higher scores), so doubt that there’s a problem with the game.

During GamesCom, SMS devs talked about just finishing the console version, because they needed to go through MS/Sony certification and they were now polishing the PC version. I seriously doubt that SMS has a bunch of programmers extra to work on the demo when they still work on the full game. Short, I do not expect a demo this week or next, maybe same week as release or even later, but that’s just me guessing ;)
