Revision as of 22:19, 28 June 2010

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 and Need for Speed: World Online 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".

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 you will feel yourself being forced back to your headrest when driving at high speeds. Turning corners too quickly will leave you with a temporary disturbance in your vision. It will be subtle, leaving your eyes momentarily blurred and ears ringing, designed to create a more realistic simulation.
