Shift 2: Unleashed – Impressive New Gameplay Footage HD

Sweet! New gameplay videos have arrived from YouTube user "V3ctroGamesMedia" showing off the impressive graphics & physics of Shift 2: Unleashed

Enjoy!

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

Looks better than GT5, in terms of graphics everything from the trees to the cars are all consistent and the shifting animations are much better than GT5's animations.

When the car starts accelerating it actually looks like it's doing just that, and when it's slowing down shifting gears the cockpit rumbles realistically. The tires make a fine rumble sounds over rubble and the rough surface of the track, even dirt appears on the wind screen.

PD have the potential to beat this by miles, but since GT5 is their first game this gen I'll give them a chance.

and gt5 is all sim so not a fair comparison

but i like shift 2 its looking very nice its easy to pack in 40-60 cars than 200 plus that it takes for gt and forza so shift doesn't have the content that forza or gt series offers

PD for gt6 we don't need gimmick like over 100 cars just give us 300-400 or even 200 racing cars and put rest of resources in other areas

PD should do a full nascar game that would be something

[ULTIMATE_REVENGE]

Yeah I hope PD have about 350+ vehicles, and I hope it's cars people actually want to use and none of then lame cars that no ones heard of.

If they work on less but wanted cars it frees up time for them to work on many other parts of the game such graphics, animations, textures, lighting, engine sounds, rich features, A.I, environment detail etc.

PD should also manage their development time properly and work on the most important things first and the finer details later on in production.

Time management on the productions of different areas and features of the game is also key.

only thing that looks better than gt5 are the trees

love the sounds wish gt5 would sound like this .. just less exaggerated

/@ULTIMATE_REVENGE "When the car starts accelerating it actually looks like it's doing just that, and when it's slowing down shifting gears the cockpit rumbles realistically/"

it doesent look all that real to me
it looks like the car moving around and the head is staying in one spot
you can see when he speed up the cam just go back and when he slow down it moves forward instead of down

the environment should be moving

[Syaz1]

yes, i support quality over quantity. i think if gt6 had 500 cars that would be more than enough and definitely more than what most other games would offer. forza 3 had about 400 cars, and forza 4 might have a bit more than that, so i think 500 should be just enough to outnumber forza. i love gt5 but i'd rather they put in higher details into cars even if the total number of cars is less.

I will hold off on my opinion of the graphics until I see them with my own eyes. I played and completed Shift on both consoles. It was a blast to play on a wheel (not the POS wheel the guy is using in this video but a Fanatec 911 S) but a graphical juggernaut it wasn't.

It looked good, nothing more. Most likely Slightly Mad Studios bumped the visuals some but not enough to contend with GT5 or Forza 3. ISR reported on their visit to EA and they said it was improved some but they did not go on about the visuals which leads me to believe they wont be much better than the original.

Not that I care because Shift was a great wheel game. Now I have two new wheels (GT2 and T500 RS) to try Shift 2 out on so I cant wait for it to be released.

This guy is killing me playing this game with that wheel on his lap. Dude at least desk mount that thing.

GT5 is sim......so when your car does 100 mph + into a wall and has no damage thats simulation....hmm

"PD have the potential to beat this by miles, but since GT5 is their first game this gen I'll give them a chance."

Your a 360 fanboy who doesn't even own a PS3...

[GrandDragon]

Wow you must be a fanboy because ULTIMATE_REVENGE does in fact have a PS3 and according to him it's the only console he has.

He's comment is genuine and it doesn't sound like he's bashing GT5 in anyway so please shut up.

[Silly gameAr]

@Grand Dragon.

Having a ps3 doesn't make him any less of a fanboy, but the game does look excellent.

[hiredhelp]

I wouldnt involve GT but i see were you comming from. but lets keep this as a multiplatform game.
however. if you wanted to jump the gun. i like the looks of this its nice dont get me wrong but over colord on some things like the grass not true as GT tryed its very best to do. and it seems slow than gt. anyways heres the deal
if i was gonna compare these games to anything why not these.

FORZA 3,NFS SHIFT 2,DIRT 3

[Sarcasm]

Looks as floaty as the first. I'll pass.

[level 360]

Am very impressed., I do would like to see some night racing video just to see how it compares against the competition.

[RyuDrinksTheDew]

man, the interiors look* fantastic.

[digoutyoursoul8]

wow the interiors look excellent

[Kon]

I may be wrong, but i don't see that much difference from the previous game. It looks like they only worked on the graphics. Well, i still will buy it.

[hassi94]

Whoever's driving is terrible. Constantly overbreaking then compensating by accelerating into a corner. I'm not amazing but that's just amateur.

[TROLOLOLOL]

hes proberly new to the game -.-

[hassi94]

Yeah but it's someone who works for a game journalism site hence the name of the uploader.

They should have some experience in what they're showing off, and racing games aren't that hard to play properly. Especially one like Shift.
