Need for Speed : Shift
Need for Speed: Shift is the 13th installment of the long-running racing video game
franchise Need for Speed; published by Electronic Arts. It was announced in December
2008 as part of a three-game announcement that includes Need for Speed: Nitro and
Need for Speed: World Online. Shift was developed by Slightly Mad Studios in
conjunction with EA Black Box and published for Electronic Arts. In the new
franchising model for the series adopted by EA, Shift takes its place focusing on
simulation racing rather than the arcade racing of previous titles in the series.
According to an interview from Shift's producer, Geever, the game has been in
development for two years. He also mentioned that the game will feature a new
"Driver experience". G-force will play an important role in the game, as it will
affect both the player and the AI. The in-car view will also return, making its
first appearance in a Need for Speed game since Porsche Unleashed. The in-car view
will be highly detailed, and it will be possible to see the driver changing gears
and moving his head to get a better view of the mirror. The crashes will affect the
players visuals. While crashing, there will be a temporary blur on screen. The sound
aspect will have detailed car crash sound, as well as a sharp gasp of breath from
the driver before a collision
