NFS shift!
- Thread starter sanchez
- Start date
I really can't get used to it, I've got an AE86 too, the car choices are great. Drifting is damn near impossible and I'm really quite good at drifting on Forza. It's tried to make itself like a simulation but it just doesn't feel like you're driving a real car sometimes.
Am I the only one that feels that way?

this is what I was afraid of, the last games had shit simulation too i thought
Its pretty realistic and you can set up cars pretty realisticly, not played much of it saving it for tonight, proper gaming session when everyone comes over 
Shame I havent got online
Tracks are very realistic,graphics, sound effects petty good all round game, handling took a bit of getting used to after DIRT2 lol

lol, going from slides to grip. what was dirt2 like then? not much cop?
Was crap tbh, may aswell call it Ken Block Rallying!!
Finished it in like 2 days, no proper rallies were your against the clock, the number of stages was utter wank. and no Quattro :shoot:
Trail blazers was pretty good though, the Evo 7 looks exactly like the Norris desgins car!!

I didn't enjoy DiRT 2 or NFS Shift personally.
Dirt was just silly, it required next to no skill you could basically be full throttle the whole way around the track.
NFS I just can't get into, part of me thinks it could be really good but I can't put my hand on why I hate it. The drift mode is really quite crap if I'm honest, it's not how cars drift at all and that's the mode I was looking forward to the most.
Personally, if you're tight for money I wouldn't buy either I'd wait for Forza 3 next month as that is nearly guaranteed to be epic.

I've put in a good few hours on shift now and I'm loving it actually.
First thing I would suggest doing is turning the steering sensitivity down in the gameplay options (you actually put the speed steering sensitivity to 100% not 0 as I had it on:homer as that stops the cars oversteering everywhere which gives it a really crap feeling, my first car - the skyline 2000 gtr was almost undriveable before I changed the settings.
I'd say the gamplay lies somewhere between forza and grid and is pretty good, the actual races are quite exciting and satisfying, the faster cars are a bit of a challenge which makes it more enjoyable.
I found the drifting hard to start with but I'm starting to get used to it now - again I think fiddling with the control sensitivity really helps.
My only real complaints are that the tuning is a bit crappy especially when you cant view the car properly to fit the different wheels or bodykits. The other is that you seem to progress too quickly through the game, I would prefer it to take longer before your able to buy the full range of cars and upgrades and the same with the races - I've already unlocked the "tier 4" races yet I've not done a single "tier 3" race??
Overall I'd say its very enjoyable, the only things similar to the previous nfs games is the menu and customisation system, the driving is totally different and much better for it. It won't really compare to forza3 or gt5 (when it eventually comes out) but its good fun like grid was.

sort of on topic, sorta not. ive got the sparco evo doing the class A endurance race on forza 2, with a hired driver. it was doing pretty well, slowly going through the ranks, then, on the 3rd lap, it pitted! then on the 6th lap it pitted, i was a bit confused as to why.
stopped it, went into replay, looked at telemetry or whatver is called lol, and the tyres had only worn 12% whys it pitting so often? driver? theres no fuel limit is there?
