NEED FOR SPEED SHIFT 2

EA has launched a sequel to their previous Need for Speed: Shift which takes place in track racing will be coming in spring 2011, and it’ll be called Need for Speed Shift 2: Unleashed. What an underwhelming name. Shift was also never my piece of cake. But if you look at the trailer, the graphic seemed to be rather serious, rivaling those from Polyphony’s Gran Turismo 5 and Codemaster’s Dirt 2 and F1 2010. Though, these are all graphically generated animation, so the final thing might or might not be so beautifully crafted.

The game will most probably retain its serious and heavy simulation approach to racing sim, but will receive a graphical overhaul thanks to a new engine. Need for Speed Shift 2: Unleashed will also include an updated version of Autolog, the multiplayer matchmaking service used in Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, which you should be familiar with by now, if you play the game.
