This looking good eh...but I love arcade styled NFS rather than simulation versions...and worse yet...since Race Driver GRID came out....sims have never been the same again.. GRID just took everything be force...I'll still take a glance at this though, it looks cool ... well provided that I don't get hooked on the up and goin, Hot Pursuit...ooh yeah! :mellow:

Yeah...lemme hear all the ooohs and aaahs when you get a taste of the
ridiculous AI that the 1st Shift had nah...

Allyuh go want a refund then...TRUST me.

I don't care what the game looks like.  I am not a real race car driver, and I don't expect
a driving 'game' to treat me like one, or else when I slam a car off the road, its not
supposed to come back, right?

...and yes, I thought the 1st Shift was full of shit.

Instant reason to pick up this game, the slight oh so very very very slight chance of beating Shiv when the game is new.  But I must seriously admit the incar view is truly looks like it will put you deep into the feeling behind the game, add some rumble/force feedback from your trusty 360 controller or your wheel and you are there.

Now remember I have NFS Shift there yes lemme get to cracking on that also, so that will be Dirt 2, F1 2010, Forza 3, Grid and Need for Speed Shift.  Not too bad.

Apparently the game is released in some countries already. There are a lot of videos posted on youtube just a few hours ago. The sad news is that it looks like it plays just like the old one, even the details suck. Could possibly be because all the clips were recorded from from the xbox. I am not impressed at all...

Here is a clip, this idiot needs to learn how to use the brake and work on his line. I can't imagine how anyone could enjoy a game driving like this but this is what the release looks like.

Finally some PC gameplay. Much more impressive imo. I'm very impressed with the in game track detail and scale. I wonder it they laser scanned anything, they look identical to the real thing.

So this thing works beautifully with the G27, no lag what so ever. I'm playing with the wheel settings default. I wonder if the default setting is the same for all wheels? You want me to post the settings for you to try?

So these are the default settings for the G27, It works great so far. I have my wheel configured in the control panel to use 540' rotation, that is the global setting i use for all games.
