Need for Speed: Shift 2: Unleashed

Couple of nicely done vids from BSNismo :



I know we all have the game already, but these are good to watch regardless & they let you appreciate SMS's gfx engine when it's fully cranked up.

Now if EA wil just let them tweak the handling / ffb, add pitstops, etc...
 
The Caterham 500 is awesome. Tweak it a little, put some slicks on it and you can beat anything in the 999 category. Got some lap times on autolog that are 7 seconds ahead of anyone on the Autolog thread. :D
The Works Lancia Delta is awesome as well though the top end speed is not well sorted for any track that has a straight more than a couple of hundred metres. 0-100 times and grip are almost F1 levels.
The "Ultimate track car" 4WD Scion is quick but doesn't seem quite as world-beating as they make out.

I'm so tempted by this game, loved Need for Speed Shift, loving Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, but I only have a controller (xbox) and no plans to get a wheel. I also can't see many friends having it on steam. So anyone playing with the controller who had the original - is it worth the spend? How is the online community -auto log works great on NFS Hot Pursuit is it as good?
 
Well, some people are playing with a controller and some even a keyboard:eek: and getting some good times. I think you have to tweak the settings to suit your control method, but if you read through the time trial competition thread or maybe a few pages back in this thread people have posted their settings to get you started.

Also, I have just added all the names from the autolog thread, and every time I log in it flashes up about 6-10 times saying that someone has beaten your time somewhere, so that gives you some targets to aim for :)
 
im a keyboard warrior :D not many seconds behind most peolpe with wheels :D i reckon some of the times behind me on autolog by a few tenths are weehl users to lol

xbox pad is made for this game, nice rumble support and decent controls. Might just need to alter the dead zones a bit though as the defaults are a bit unresponsive.
 
man that looks awesome pitty they said PC will have no DLC :mad:

with the -loose command disabled there is no way to add tracks and cars to the game aswell so far you can only replace a current track/car with a new one so if someone does port it across like the ferrari dlc/monaco for shift 1 it would mean losing some of the content already in shift2
 
For those tempted the EA Store has this and other major titles 50% off at the mo. Just got it for £17.49...bargain :) See you all on the racetrack
 
That's so annoying, I just paid 29.99 through steam. :mad: Even Game are doing it for 24.99, which I found out after buying from steam. I ought to complain to steam for being so expensive while others are discounting all over the place, lol.
 
any ETA on the patch?

i really want to hammer this game but its pretty much impossible at my res using only one 480

im on the latest WHQL nvidia drivers but SLI isnt happening until they patch it from reading everywhere.

anyone got any news?

By the end of the month is a near to a release date as I have read.
 
well im running at about 48fps on one card [much less on night circuits]
slowdown occurs mainly during crashes even with physx put onto card 2

so hopefully any sli support should bump the game to a playable 60fps maxed out

what res do you run at anyway? 25XX? must be insanely high as my 460 pulls 60fps at 1920x1080 with 4xaa forced via nvidia inspector.
have you tried physx on card 1? cant say i get any stuttering unless its running of my cpu
