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
