Need for Speed Shift videos

Need for Speed: Shift was released last Thursday everywhere in the world and today we can finally show you some direct feed footage. As the first 10 minutes of the game may not be really interesting to watch, we have decided to show you different races with different cars so you can get an idea of the game's content. We'll start with a ride behind the wheel of the Lotus Elise on the Nürburgring track.
Update: Last video is up, with some reckless driving on my part in the beginning.

Need for Speed Shift, the TV ad

Need for Speed: Shift is out in two weeks. Tremors. To help the wait, EA put us litterally under the skin of a pilot with this ad we'll see on TV soon, nervous mix of gameplay and CGI. Short, efficient, we like.

Gamescom: Shift at EA's conference

During EA's conference, we got to see a live demo of the PC version of Need for Speed: Shift and it was pretty impressive to be thrown into the cockpit of a Zonda for a few minutes. EA also showed a new trailer of the game that you can now see inside. The gameplay video we shot and those we'll make on the showfloor will be available tomorrow at best, given the difficult upload conditions we're having at the hotel at the moment.

Update: Added the gameplay, from the PC version.

What's up?
  • blmbox
    blmbox Yeah, but judging by the content of both reviews, Eurogamer didn't particularly care much for the game anyway. They probably only gave it an 8 to avoid controversy - the review sounded more like a 6. (2 Hours ago)
  • GriftGFX
    GriftGFX 6 to 8 split on Eurogamer, which isn't quite as large but still pretty significant. (4 Hours ago)
  • SimonM7
    SimonM7 Yeah sure, but from what console reviews are saying it's perfectly adequate. I mean I'm sure PC is the way to go, but I sincerely doubt we're seeing a 5 to 9 split score wise or anything. (4 Hours ago)
  • GriftGFX
    GriftGFX not that the Xbox version is "that bad" by most accounts either.. there are plenty of people here playing it who adore it.. but the PC game is recieving higher marks across the board (4 Hours ago)
  • GriftGFX
    GriftGFX @SimonM7: I doubt that's true too, if other reviews I've read are any indication. The game was designed around an interface that's not represented on the Xbox.. (4 Hours ago)
  • SimonM7
    SimonM7 I doubt PC and 360 scores would differ much in EDGE, they simply don't fancy it. DA on the 360 is fine as long as you like the underlying game. (4 Hours ago)
  • callmekymbo
    callmekymbo is DA on the 360 really that bad? I can't run it on my pc so the eggbox is my only viable alternative (5 Hours ago)
