Currently, the intense focus of Electronic Arts is the revival of the glory days of the Need for Speed franchise, and although the series has been thought to be basically an arcade racer, the announcement of the Need for Speed SHIFT may shake things up a bit.
SHIFT, which is in development with Slightly Mad Studios of Electronic Arts, will be geared toward the racing simulation variety with an exciting twist. The focus of the game is on the car‚ cockpit where players feel they‚Äôre really inside the car sitting on the driver‚ seat. For instance, there would be appropriate tightening of the driver‚ arm and also a pitching motion when the vehicle hits a tight turn. SHIFT will also include vehicle damage and if the game is as good as it appears on screen, then there‚ reason for anticipation as it becomes available this Fall. Photo gallery after the jump!
