NFS Shift 2 Unleashed - Details

[DrJustice]

Trophy list for Shift 2

-Dialed In
Used On-Track Tuning to save a Tuning Setup for a car

I interpret that as Shift 2 having multiple setups per car. Another one ticked off then

He is way off the apex in like half of the corners, don't even count where he ran totally offline at turn 5. And look at those steering input!!!

I'm going to have to agree with you there, the lap was ugly. As I mentioned earlier, I hope it's just a case of him not taking it too seriously and just putting together a lap for the sake of the video, otherwise it doesn't say much about the handling model.

Not long til we can find out ourselves 👍

Skyline in Elite mode, playing on the PS3 version.

I've seen this video before the user removed it and I wasn't very pleased with the fps to be honest.. In other hand, the Corvette video for X360 was the first Shift 2 video WITHOUT any little frame drop, some rock solid gameplay. The Bugatti (X360 again) have some little drops here and there and it come from the same user of the Vette's video (don't know why). Developers told us S2U was developed expacially for PS3 so I presume the frame rate will be slightly better than X360 version but we need more PS3 video now, the frame rate is still a mistery.

Confirmed somewhere in the Speedhunters articles, you can save individual track setups to each car. Very good feature.

 

[DonZonda]

New Videos

 

[Spagetti69]

That video clearly shows options to change the AI difficulty.

I'm glad, I read somewhere before that the AI was dynamically set via your driving skill. Something I was wary about.

Seems to be some miss communication surrounding this title.

Tire wear / no tire wear?

Odd.

 

[Luminis]

Nice videos 👍 The veyron one also confirms active aero parts. Not that i doubted it, but whatever

Correct. You can save the setups either to a specific track, or to groups of tracks that they have set up with similar characteristics (ovals, city tracks, etc...).

Bottom line is that you have 22 games to play on your PS3 and Shift isnt one of them so please find another thread to post your insatisfaction (try this>https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=190971) and leave this thread alone for the people that want to find out more details about the game.

Not a friendly place for insatisfaction either.

 

[Imari]

Damage looks gooooood.

 

[HKS racer]

WOW impressive damage system! 👍
frame rate ok again (x360)

 

[DonZonda]

I'm also impressed by those tarmac textures !!!

And another Video!!!

 

[FLX1981]

Ok thats it, I m gonna stop watching vids from now on. Dont wanna ruin too much of the surprise! Gnaaaa, cant wait till the 31st to finally play it myself!

Actually I m even more anxious to this than to GT5... whoa!

 

[RomKnight]

This game won't be here soon enough. STOP TEASING US

 

[Spagetti69]

Why don't they look melted?

And another Video!!!

Completely smashed as in real life!! woah!

 

[Spagetti69]

Maybe Ferrari didn't want their cars beaten to this sort of level.

If that was the case, good idea to drop them lol.

 

[CarreraGT]

I'm liking that Corvette crash video!

 

[haehre]

Why don't they look melted?

PD won't let them in on the secret on how to create authentic melted cars.

 

[HKS racer]

The way those cars roll and flip out from the tracks is something NEW.

 

[Imari]

Casual players like Smashy McRamyourface are going to love this despite the physics because of the awesome crashes you can do, then youtube them and show to all your friends. 12 year olds will play for hours just to try and pull off as many rollovers as they can.

Honestly, if you were random casual who liked smashing stuff up, would you rather play GT5 with it's melty damage or would you rather youtube your triple backflip with a twist in Shift 2?

This is going to be so ****ing cool.

 

[RomKnight]

I'll try to hit a wall once just for kicks but it really depends if I need to spend cash on rebuilding the car...

 

[MagpieRacer]

They were impressive. Good to know you will be severely punished for big errors.

 

[Terronium-12]

Good lord!

That is all.

 

[OLDSKOOLACURA]

I can't freaking wait, it just gets better and better.

 

[JJ72]

Easy way out. Bottom line is even though 1080p is not as frequent as 720p, which is true, your witty assertion that Full HD PS3 games are so rare they can be counted on your two hands was definitely wrong. I proved it to you and you've implicitly admitted it. And my initial question was: why downgrade the console version as opposed to the PC one? Oh, and this is no poetry class: I like facts better than metaphors.

Because of hardware limitations? As proven by all other studios not being able to run anything in advance 3D shaders in full HD?

Are you just thick or stupid?

 

[Terronium-12]

If I may interject in this rather senseless HD argument for a second...

There's a difference between native 1080p, and the vertical resolution 1080p.

That's all that really needs to be said.

 

[Destinkeys]

There's also a radical difference between animating a few things is an essentially static, simplistic environment, and animating 15 independent cars in a totally dynamic environment at a framerate for ALL of them that doesn't stutter around.

GT5 is a perfect example of bumping into the hardware ceiling of the PS3. Sure, it's 1080p (sort of), but at the cost of dynamic lighting effects chewing up sufficient horsepower that shadows get the jaggies, and road textures get the strobes, etc., etc..

Better to run more pleasing, smoother textures at a lower resolution than do a tech demo at 1080p that the hardware simply can't run well enough, IMO.
