    Need for Speed: Shift

    Apperantly, this time its pretty awesome.

    [edit: link removed]

    Game is designed for cockpit view and its been a looong loong time(test drive 3?) since a game does it right. Must buy for me since I'm craving for racing games.

    Coming out this week and I can't wait!

    I like the NFS series a lot but at this point I figure I might as well wait for the new Forza next month.

    I really haven't liked the last couple of NFS games but I think I'll buy this to hold me down until something is done with GT already.

    Ok I lied, after watching some reviews, I may pick this up. It looks like it could be a lot of fun, I like the cockpit view too.

    Can you turn the cockpit view off? I don't recall ever playing a racing game and thinking to myself "man, I really wish there was something blocking 40% of my view".

    In one of the videos I watched the developer stated there was still the roofcam and other views available. I'll try to find the video.

    Funny that I usually don't care about racing games, but this looks pretty fun. I'm not really sold on the cockpit view, but the 90/100 ain't bad.

    Cockpit view is what really sucks me in for this one...can't...resist....Also glad they finally ditched the street racing crap(and old developers as well).

    Sense of speed and crash effects are amazing according to the reviews and videos...just can't miss this one lol.

    I never understood the point of cockpit view... it's pointless because you can't feel the car with the rest of your body.

    Picking it up this weeknd. Usually a Gran Turismo ONRY person, but this game seems like something to do till GT5 and GT PSP are released.

    I loved the first NFS games, and this one looks kinda fun even though I really dislike racing games. Maybe I'll pick this up tomorrow anyway for PS3 as it looks kinda fun with the progression and levels.

    Bought it, played it for an hour, returned it. I don't know, I just really didn't like the way the cars handled, trying to be precise and earn points for drafting and staying on the line was difficult as the controls felt very loose. The game just made me want to play GT5P. Graphics aren't everything, but they weren't even close to what I saw in the reviews.

    Got pretty lucky, not allowed to return games, but they let me since I had just bought it an hour ago.
