And it would be even more nice if they combined it with the physics of the cars from Simbin.

Concidering they are what many concider to be the "real" Simbin I think that will be a safe bet.

Slightly Mad have said not to expect a full on simulation like GTR2 because normal NFS players would find it too much of a challenge.

Well, then I'm afraid that we get a game like Need for Speed Pro Street...

Da-da-daaaaamn!

They're not hanging around then

No one can judge on how the game will drive until it is released.....
My opinion is 3/4 between Prostreet and GTR2. With multiple modes to accomodate both parties.

But wasnt that release scheduled as a standalone for arcade players? And SHIFT was announced as a full sim.
Would be a let down imo. Then why do they need SMS involvement if they are not planning a full sim release.

Lets wait and see first

Take an example: Driving a 3-5 lap race in with full driving aids, 80% AI, corner markers, while you don't have to worry about tire wear or fuel because you turned them off, I think that shouldn't be too much challenge for anyone

And if you say "I want to play 10 mins, jumping in a race without anything to worry about" you can do it in GTR Evo f.e.

They should think about what is hard and what is not. I think it's not any harder to drive a realistic driving sim than an arcade game, some arcade games are even harder to drive...

From what the video is showing it's all about crashing?

Péter Bártfai · Mar 23, 2009

I think they just wanted to show some effects

The driving physics looks good in my opinion, just waiting to try a demo and see how it feels!
What worries me: those slow cars, I hope they were traffic:/

Bram Hengeveld · Mar 23, 2009

Oooh what am i looking at? PS3/Xbox/PC?
+1 about the slow cars

i hope that is not sim gameplay, otherwise it's a major let down

i thoght that the statement SM studios made about GTR2 staff was not true, since simbin said on their site that they were going 2 sue them?
