| + | '''''Need for Speed: Shift''''' is the thirteenth main entry in the [[Need for Speed (Series)|''Need for Speed'' series]] released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Mobile Phones, and PlayStation Portable. It is said to be a "hardcore racing simulation" and a more realistic entry in the ''Need for Speed'' franchise. |

| − | '''Need for Speed: Shift '''is the thirteenth main entry in the Need for Speed series for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Mobile Phones, and PlayStation Portable. It is said to be a "hardcore racing simulation," and a more realistic entry in the Need for Speed franchise. It was developed by Slightly Mad Studios and overseen by Black Box producer Michael Mann and senior vice-president of EA Games Europe Patrick Soderlund. It was released September 17, 2009 in Europe and September 22, 2009 in North America. This also marks the return of in car dash views in the Need for Speed series since [[Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed]] and along with [[Need for Speed: Nitro]], [[Need for Speed: World]] and [[Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit (2010)]] to not have a storyline since [[Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2]]. Race cars and historic cars are included in this game as well including the 1969-1972 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R which first appeared in the special Japanese PSX only version of [[The Need for Speed]]''' '''"Over Drivin': Skyline Memorial". |
||
| + | Shift also marks the return of in car dash views in the ''Need for Speed'' series since their last appearance in ''[[Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed]]''. |
||
| − | ==Camera== |
||
| − | The game also features a camera, and its perspective responds to G-forces, so for example, the camera will shake when turning a sharp corner, and the player will feel yourself being forced back to their headrest when driving at high speeds. Turning corners too quickly will leave them with a temporary disturbance in their vision. It will be subtle, leaving their eyes momentarily blurred and ears ringing, designed to create a more realistic simulation. |
||
| + | Race cars and historic cars are included in this game, notably the [[Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R (C10)]], which first appeared in the special Japanese PlayStation only release of [[The Need for Speed|''Over Drivin': Skyline Memorial'']]. |

||
| + | ''Need for Speed: Shift'' also allows players to convert their 'normal' cars to full race-spec vehicles with such conversions being known as '''Works Upgrades'''.

It may be possible that some of the cars could appear in ''[http://nfs.wikia.com/wiki/Need_for_Speed:_Shift_2_Unleashed Shift 2: Unleashed].'' |

Revision as of 20:33, 17 October 2019
Splitup - This article should be split up into multiple articles.Need for Speed: Shift, Need for Speed: Shift (Handheld), Need for Speed: Shift (Java), Need for Speed: Shift (PSP)
Need for Speed: Shift is the thirteenth main entry in the Need for Speed series released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Mobile Phones, and PlayStation Portable. It is said to be a "hardcore racing simulation" and a more realistic entry in the Need for Speed franchise.
The game was developed by Slightly Mad Studios, overseen by Black Box producer Michael Mann and senior vice-president of EA Games Europe Patrick Soderlund.
Shift also marks the return of in car dash views in the Need for Speed series since their last appearance in Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed.
Race cars and historic cars are included in this game, notably the Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R (C10), which first appeared in the special Japanese PlayStation only release of Over Drivin': Skyline Memorial.
Gameplay
Career Mode
The player is tasked with driving a BMW M3 E92 on a two lap course of Brands Hatch at the beginning of the title.
The title will suggest a difficulty level for the player depending on their performance within the Brands Hatch race. Players are allowed to change the difficulty level at any time in Need for Speed: Shift. The levels distinguish themselves by driving assists and physics.
The goal of Need for Speed: Shift is for the player to unlock the NFS World Tour event although the player is required to collect 280 stars from other events before they are allowed to enter it. Collecting stars allows the player to level up with both a Driver Level and driving style.
Cars provided in the title are allocated into four tiers; Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4. Tier 1 features everyday vehicles, Tier 2 features sports vehicles, Tier 3 features high performance vehicles and Tier 4 features super cars.
Players purchase and modify their cars as they progress through the career. Players unlock greater rewards, higher performance vehicles, more difficult events and greater competition as they progress through the career.
Quick Race
The Quick Race Mode seen in Need for Speed: Shift is the same as in previous Need for Speed titles. Players can choose cars, tracks and settings individually. Parts are only available if they are unlocked in career mode.
Race Modes
- Car Battle - Two drivers compete with specified cars in three various race events.
- Driver Duel - Racers face off against each other in the vehicle of their choice.
- Drift Race - Racers compete against each other to see whom can earn the most amount of style points whilst drifting.
- Endurance Race - Racers compete against each other along a Circuit course with a large number of laps.
- Lap Knockout Race - The last racer to complete the lap of a course is eliminated from the race.
- Time Knockout Race - The racer in last place is eliminated from the race once the time expired
- Time Attack Events - The player has to beat the fastest lap record before the final lap is declared.
- Manufacturer Competition - Two racers face off against each other in the same vehicle.
- Series Competition - Racers compete against each other in a tournament competition.
- Circuit Race - Racers compete against each other along a Circuit course.
- Time Trials - The player must complete a set distance of a course in a specific amount of time.
Cockpit View
The game features an interior perspective that responds to G-forces that the driver of the car would be subjected to.
Customisation
The title has a larger variety of performance tuning than visual modification.
Fine-tuning is just as comprehensive as in Need for Speed: Underground 2. The title has simplified options like steering lock and gearing adjustments for beginners and inexperienced racing simulation players. These options are listed under Quick Tuning.
Players may also use the Advanced Tuning option to fully enhance a car's performance. In this category it's possible to individually calibrate some parts of a car such as its suspension and tyre pressure.
Need for Speed: Shift also allows players to convert their 'normal' cars to full race-spec vehicles with such conversions being known as Works Upgrades. Works upgrades greatly improve every performance statistic of a car and can only be applied once a car has been sufficiently upgraded.
