Companies make these products to sell to the biggest audience possible - which isn't us. Us hardcore simmers have to take the backseat on this stuff and hope we get catered for in some way. Its unlikely Shift is going to tick all the boxes in the simmers world but if it can at least go some way to being there in its Pro mode, I dont mind to compromise a little for what looks to be a stunner of a game.

I mean, times are changeing. Nobody gives a damn about V8 Superstars Racing, and even DIRT 2 seems to have understeer (just saw it on a gameplay video! I swear!)!!!

Graphics are amazing on this thing. Can we handle 3 months more teasing ? I hope all this marketing is worth the final product. LFS ? Oh that. The slowest developing sim in world history with the worlds worst AI. I remember that. Lovely physics wasted on a painfully dragged out, never out of beta, development process that is already showing its age. LFS had so much potential but I think its time peaked ages ago. Thankfully the sim community has fans who are loyal to what they like so LFS' longevity will live on. yep very impressIVE (not impressing :happy:). Graphics are amazing on this thing.
