Last week the release of a demo of Need for Speed Shift was uncertain. Now we have good news for all who are waiting: EA listened to your demands and there will be a demo of NFS Shift available for Playstation 3, Xbox360 and PC. The bad news is, that the demo is coming at the end of September/start of October. (Well, better late than never :).)
So if you want to try out the game before purchase, you have to be patient. The NFS Shift demo will most likely contain the two tracks London River and SPA Francorchamps. You can drive with four cars at the beginning: the Dodge Viper, Lotus, BMW M3 and Nissan R35. If you manage to collect all ten driver badges, you could unlock a Pagani Zonda and take it for a spin.

Need for Speed Shift is being developed by the Slightly Mad Studios. On a question from GamerZines, whether SMS had always intended for Shift to be a Need for Speed title, Lead Designer Andy Tutor replied the following:
"Yeah. It (Shift) actually started out as ProStreet 2. You'll see the obvious references, like we've got the Tokyo track in there, albeit a bit more mature; there's no balloons or anything like that. The thing with ProStreet was that they couldn't go straight from street racing to a track racer - that would have annoyed a few people. So it was really the first stage of the transition, mixing courses with the street stuff, and this is where they (EA) always wanted it to go. We've had a few battles, you know, 'put cops in, put nitrous on everything', but we just said 'come on, let's do this properly, shall we?' And we did. Shift is the game we always wanted to make, just under a different name to how it started." NF ... Read more » |

Need for Speed Shift goes into a different direction than most previous NFS games, which makes a demo quite indispensable, if you want to get an impression of the game before purchase. Unfortunately the following statement reached us from EA:
In the last few weeks we've received a lot of messages and forum posts about a demo so we're currently looking into the feasibility of releasing a demo for SHIFT. We are committed to releasing the best Need for Speed game so we kept the entire team working on the game to make sure we release a really great experience. We're really proud of what the guys at SMS and Black Box have created and we can't wait to get the game in your hands. So basically it's not sure, whether or not a demo can be released before the launch date on September 15th (17th in Europe). As soon as we know more we let you know. Source: NFS Planet

Michael Pachter predicts GTAIV expansion will sell well, next GTA will arrive by the 2010 holidays, and next 18 months will see release of Agent and Ken Levine's mystery shooter. On Tuesday, Take-Two Interactive reported a loss of $55.5 million for the May-July quarter, the third of its fiscal year. The result? Its stock price shot up over $1 the following day. The reason? Besides the fact that the sizable loss was less than expected, analysts remain bullish about the New York-based publisher in general and its upcoming lineup in particular. |

Following in the footsteps of China, Germany, Japan, Brazil, and Australia, Venezuela is considering a ban on games it deems excessively violent. This week in Caracas, lawmakers voted in favor of a bill banning the sale of violent games or toys, reports Reuters. The bill was drawn up by legislators who believe getting rid of violent games will help reduce crime in the robbery-plagued country. On Wednesday, the National Assembly announced that the game-ban bill passed its first vote in the legislative body. It must pass a second vote and be signed into law by Vene ... Read more » |
