Car Battle trailer



Spa Francorchamps track overview video

The Car Battle mode looks like a really cool idea

Evo IX vs Evo X shouldn't it be put against a WRX? Does look interesting tho.

They're doing a good job of making this game look awesome

Indeed.

Looking awesome and playing awesome are a different matter tho. I do hope it's excellent.

Koenigsegg vs Zonda

I pre-ordered it because it's cheap on CD Wow and they get it a week before Mighty Ape, although they will probably take a week to deliver it anyway. Looks good to me, a realistic racing game where the graphics are not crap - finally!

Both appear to have the same 18 September release date... (which is the official date from EA)

Definitely looks good imo, and I am always pretty skeptical of NFS games nowdays, though ultimately I think it will be nothing more than something to tide people over until Forza 3.

Try not to prejudge Shift by previous NFS games, they are calling it a "reboot" for the franchise, so hopefully it will be a step forwards.

In any case it will be a good few months for driving fans with Shift, Forza 3 and GT5 all due out by Xmas!

Yeah initially I did prejudge Shift because of the NFS tag, but as time has gone on I have started to really think it looks good, what I meant was it was always going to be even harder for this game to appeal to me because of previous NFS encounters, so the fact it has won me on side is a testament to how good I think it could be

No pre release demo though which usually worries me a little. The in cockpit view is freakin sweet.

From those vids to me it looks average. Graphics. Grid looks better. Physics (just from watching car movements) looks poor.

I doubt they will stray far from their usual trash and their last 4 or so titles were so bad I don't want to risk wasting money on it.

Still 50/50 on this. Will definitely be giving this one a rent first.

Shit this out next week better go order it and finish ProStreet again just need to beat Showdown and Drag kings.

Agree with you - Can tell by the car movements it looks more than
They definitely know how to make good trailers though, lol.

yea, not setting sights too high on this one..

can anyone recommend a good racing game for pc?

been playing DIRT and GRID to tide me over for this one, hopefully it's good!

hahaha awesome! i was always a big fan of NFS series! this is going to be a must! an the trailers look wicked!

Ah I just really don't know.
I loved Carbon and played it for hours and hours with my flatmate.
Then I bought Pro-Street and played it for about 5 hours and gave up.
So i was hesitant about Undercover but grabbed it as the trailers looked sweet - completed maybe 1/3 the missions but gave up and i felt it was just tedious.

IGN has their review up already... 9/10! http://au.ps3.ign.com/articles/102/1023568p1.html

GP should be getting a review copy shortly

Oh. They brought it forward. Was the 25th back when I posted.

The IGN review sounds good. Can't wait to get it
It's weird to be looking forward to an NFS game again. Thank goodness EA got a new developer for it.

Get a 180SX I had mine doing 7 secs flat.

Oh that review has me sold!

Does anyone know what the multiplayer is like on 360 (i.e. splitscreen??)

Cool! Will look forward to that!

You can tell on that video review the physics dont look good, even the guy on the video review admits its still not a complete simulation racer & controls are still a little arcady.
Besides that, everything else looks a winner!
