  • I hope they have open track days there! I'm moving near there soon.

  • @ChienesSaventPas the Nürburgring Nordschleife has open track days, it is located in Nürburg, Germany.

  • It would be so good if they start puting shifts cars race on the city streets and public roads with that nice intirior with helmet cam view.= NFS street racing Underground 3.

  • I love how they want to make this need for speed different from the other ones.

    I mean, to all the guys that regret the gameplay of the older nfs, you know what ?

    Go play the older nfs !

    With the actual racing game concurrences i think they choose the good option to make it more realistic.

  • American tracks are boring

  • bottom of corkscrew isnt the lowest is it? I thought after corkscrew you turn a corner and you go down again, and then after start/finish line you go down another hill?

  • this track is sweet, i've been there in real life a couuple times and it owns!!!! whoever thinks laguna seca sucks.... sucks. btw shift is the best! i cant get enough of the drivers seat view!!!

  • Could an F1 car go down the corkscrew, If so then this track should defiantly be on the F1 calender.

  • @MrRocket2008

    the toyota f1 car went around it a few years ago and set the lap record there!

  • shit track guide

  • @max12010 I'm pretty sure Jeremy Clarkson knows he didn't make a "shit track guide."

  • the same track was in grand turismo 2.... man i hated it..

  • they should totally go oldschool that would be awsome, street racing in the classic American race cars.

  • Your game is unstable and shit .

  • omg this NFS is amazing!! *__*

  • @PharlaTheDragonness It's no doubt that NFS: SHIFT is the best NFS game to date.

  • Luguna seca one word for it EASY

  • you're playing the wrong game

  • no im not

  • if you're playing the right racing game, and i wont say which, so you tromp at the bit

    Laguna Seca is easy to drive without going off, but it takes alot of skill to go realy fast because it demands car control from the driver to push that bit faster

  • @adamsbored2008 you probably had all the assists on...

  • este jueguito no es para aficionados

  • In gran turismo 4 i dont do good in laguna seca but it will probably be easier in shift

  • Chances are if you do bad in GT4 for this course, you'll do worse in Shift.

  • @malakius I nailed that course with my fully tuned Toyota Minolta!

  • If u are a good driver , join this competition , lock at my video !

  • nfs hot pursuit think its 2. thats the best lol

    this looks nice though, wonder if u can lan 6 together

  • The series started out as this type of racer and their doing things to please different portions of their audience that doesnt mean theyve quit illegal street racing.

  • I love seeing stupid people on youtube cussing and trying to start a cyber war. It's the internet people you're not offending anyone. I bet by now you've both already long forgot about these comments. What a waste. What a shame.

  • Comment removed

  • the best is nfs most wanted

  • the best underground racing game would be carbon, you would know that if you played it.

  • @Toah14 You might want to rephrase that: Underground 1 and 2 were the best, carbon was blah..

  • i really hate the corkscrew part of the track

  • the corkscrew is what makes the track unique but difficult

  • yea but its difficult 2 master that corner

  • Cool. I love Laguna Seca. 5 stars

  • Why is NFS ditching their Illegal street racing style?

    Well looks like we are making one type of racing game now.

    I mean this is a ok game and all but it has already been done.

    Maybe we should stop making the movie Fast & the furious and make it into non Street racing stuff.

    Then we could do away with all street racing things.

    I guess NFS does not stand for Need for speed anymore.

    Sure let's follow rules and stay on track with braking/ steering assistance.

  • to be honest street racing is way past its hay day i mean look at undercover it was not as good as other street racers you ever notice peoples faveroute go underground, most wanted, carbon and last undercover it shows you the further they go with it the worse it becomes

    anyway nitro is street racing i belive so they may be doing a cod thing (eg modern warfare then world war 2 then modern warfare again)

  • @Lethalkill3r:

    Morons like you need to hide in a cave and commit suicide.

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @Lethakill3r

    If you know a single fact at all about NFS history, it would be that they were ALWAYS about track racing. You probably don't even know what the first NFS was called. Like what SonicCSTH says, go commit suicide in a cave.

  • @BloodMagex

    lol! hehehe=D

  • @BloodMagex oh shit haha, if you read your comment a yr later is hilarious HAHA!

  • @Lethalkill3r

    illegal street racing was actually their second style. You're probably too young to have played need for speed the original. lolz.

  • @Lethalkill3r go suck some dick faggot

  • hate this map on Gran Turismo 3 for PS2 but i love it sooo much haha great challenge and easy once you get it down

  • now we are waitnig for nfs world online ;]

  • i personally think NFS is not going the way it should don't get me wrong this new game looks awesome but it's nothing compared to the real NFS driving style of underground 2 and most wanted those days were good pro street sucked,carbon sucked,undercover sucked i really hope this isn't ALL that bad it's not fun anymore it's basically forza with a name change sigh.T_T

  • The graphics and sound is AWESOME but,,, Undercover was better and underground 2 best. They need to made a underground 3

  • man it seems most people hate the corkscrew in laguna seca,lol ,man i remember my days on FORZA , i used to un mek that track, even pass men in that same corkscrew too.

  • Grandturismo did a good job on this course I would like to play NFS shift...it looks pretty sweet i hope it beats there last one...The freeroaming NFS is the best though....

  • The corkscrew is FREAKING simular as a round in forza 2

  • only bad drivers think realistic and legal racings are boring and shit

  • This game is the shit

  • Why?

  • It's really out now. I gonna buy it

  • Whats so hard about the corkscrew, especially in a video game? Dont believe the hype people this shit is too easy, except for the demolition derby that it is.

  • IF you don't it is there it is hard i know Ive wreak there in grand turismo

  • i read that 3 times and still don't know what the fuck you are saying.

  • Sorry about that

  • which consoles does this come out in?

  • pc ,ps3, xbox360

  • its out now

  • the andretti hairpin is pretty easy- just make sure you hit the apex on the outgoing chicane

  • this a hard track and the corkscrew is hell of a hard part

  • i've driven quite a lot in seca with my lotus, and its pretty straight forward to be honest. the corkscrew felt amazing in the beginning. it is reeaaaally steep, makes your insides feel weird.

  • Jeremy from Top Gear tried the track after playing Gran Turismo and he couldn't speed up, he was just so scared. Seems like you are literally speeding blindly on top of a hill and you have no idea whats down below, how did you get over that?

  • you just go easy at the beginning and gradually gain speed and confidence. There are markers on the side of the track so you can easily spot the right braking point. And there is a small run off area, so you can mess up the corner quite bad and still get a way with out crashing. Kerbs are pretty low so you can attack them with ease. andretti is more challenging corner to nail imo. but the corkscrew is ofcourse the most fun

  • I've played Laguna Seca in Gran Turismo 3. It has always been a tricky track for me, so I know how to use it. Thanks for the extra tips, as I now see where I was going wrong...

  • will it be on PC?

  • i live 5 minutes from laguna seca place is sick!!

  • they should go back to something like Carbon Own the City

  • i agree with every one , I`m from romania an most of my friends have the same opinion, after underground 2 and most wanted every single nfs game that came out suck badly fo` real ! please some one tell these guys to make some games with the street parfume and furious game style, get inspiered and do something, wee all want to make real street tuning come back to life again, there is were the hearts of all these people are ! WAKE UPP AND SMELL THE CHROME ASS HOLES !!!!

  • I'll have to disagree with one thing: carbon didn't suck... only thing that i didn't like about it is that it was kinda short(finished it in 3 days) ... and that's about it....and i've said this before: this isn't need for speed .. it's more like need for money from EA...and what happened to the female characters? :) when i hear this guy's voice the game becomes even more boring ..

  • female characters? You sound like a straight up pervert. And IGN begs to differ to those who say NFS Shift sucks.

  • oh .. i'm sorry I don't like that dude's voice explaing me how to drive.slowly with every NFS game that comes out next the guys at EA are leaving behind the elements that define the series.and btw i don't think racing games are for a wow geek like you.

  • Read my description.

  • whatever... but that doesn't give you the right to make me a pervert.if you compare any previous NFS games with this one you'll see that there's nothing good that we liked left in this one.

  • I didn't make you a pervert o.O

    I said your statement did A.K.A. "that"

  • Though I haven't played this yet and I'm not a huge NFS fan, this game HAS been getting much better reviews than any NFS game in years.

    Honestly, branching away from the street racing theme is a risk, and the dead opposite of a sure moneymaking thing. I'm glad they ditched it really, it has been played out for years.

  • well unless they made a game like underground that you slowly work your way up through street ranks and then into international races and tourneys

  • Well, the thing that made underground big was that it was the first to have free-roaming.

    People don't realize itr, but that's what made it standout.

    There isn't a way to top that, really. And so many games have copied it, that it's actually more original to combine NFS gameplay with track racing, ya know?

    BEsides, they're following the trend that's showing up: PDs are cracking down on street racing more, so alot of the skilled drivers go legit and race in leagues.

  • How can you not enjoy a game with awesome and realistic driving physics?

    NFS: Prostreet had a crappy story line but the racing was awesome, I have a feeling this will be even better.

  • What happened with the street style of this game? Underground was the best one they made..and of course underground 2 and Most Wanted..before and after that....nothin' special....fancy visuals and good gameplay - i can drive my own car, thank you, and the visuals are better ;) I wanna play sth that i can't do in real life...I dnt wanna ger REALLY chased by cops, but i'd love to wreck some on my PC, don't you? Somebody should tell these guys at EA that RACE TRACK RACING SUCKS !!!!

  • In my opinion,Need For Speed goes down.

    Because there is no street racing style anymore.They made it like Grand Turismo,I think they should back their Street racing style Like Underground 2 Or Most wanted.After Rro Street version all versions were shitty.

  • BRING A PART 3 TO THE LONG AWAITED SEQUEL TO UNDERGROUND EA! NFS UNDERGROUND was one of the best...there is an OPPORTUNITY to be made in making a TRILOGY in one of your best games ever created...

  • nfs prostreet is similar to but with better graphics but you have to buy that this total

  • is that what i think it is at 1:19?!

    if so i'm definitely getting this game

  • I have a question about a racing wheel, I am definitely buying this game, and is there any good clutch racing wheels for the Xbox 360? LOL I like to be able to know that I'm driving a Porshe Cayman even though I have a 5 speed 96 accord in real life lol

  • Does somebody know, when the demo comes out? This game is sooo awesome.

  • i no you work for ea games but can you tell me is there ever going to be a street racing need for speed again like under ground to could send me a message

  • IS THAT A LFA??? YAAAAY!

  • I cnt wait anymore!!!

    Why ea?

    Just give us the damn game!!!

  • The game is out today! You can go and pick it up right now if you want! Well, assuming you live in North America. If you live in Europe you still have to wait a couple of more days (September 17th!).

  • Im in UK man.

    Out Friday here.

  • Ack! The UK, eh?! You're right, unfortunately you'll have to wait until Friday. Sorry :(

    It's worth the wait though :)

  • Thats a fuckin pisstake man!!!

    I dont know why everyone gets everything before us?

    What about equal fairness?

    Is it cause I is black?

  • I'm really not sure why there are different shipping dates. If I had to venture a guess it would be because the physical copies of the game are manufactured here in NA and have to make their way overseas. But honestly, I have no idea =P Just guessing!

  • So whats it like then mate?

    I take it u got it

  • It's awesome!

    I work for the game, so I've been playing it for a while now, and I'm still not tired of it. Granted that's what you'd expect to hear from someone who works for EA, but even from my gamer's perspective, I have to say that it's a great racing game. There are a bunch of reviews out for it right now, so just google search them and read up :)

  • hey man since you work for ea can you answer a Q. im getting the pc version cause i have a logitech g25 wheel, does the clutch work for this game?? i really hope it does

  • So why isn't EA going back to their original roots in the 90s? We all remember the original Need For Speed and Desert Strike but no one seems to remember much about Underground(and it's sequel).

  • Mr NeedForSpeed, can I ask you a favour? Tell your..i guess they are bosses or employers...whatever they are, tell them that PEOPLE WANT THE STREET RACING GAME THEY FELL IN LOVE WITH WHEN THEY RUN THE EXE. FILE OF UNDERGROUND/2 and MOST WANTED!!! And btw, Undercover was also totally lousy ! Watch Fast And Furious and get INSPIRED TO DO GREAT THINGS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! I dnt like Grand Turismo and I dnt like this!

  • If Fast and Furious inspires you, you obviously know absolutely nothing about cars, physics, or racing.

  • what if it does inspire me? that doesn't mean that I don't know anything about driving.... I have gran turismo and I think that my friends can agree with me that I'm more than an average driver."most wanted"-like games are a bit more than reality and that is what makes them cool.

  • How can something so unrealistic with such a horrible plot inspire someone? I know I'm being pretty critical right now but I mean, if I want to get inspired I go out and drive...

    Games are a different story, especially if they are well made with a good physics engine

  • I said "what if?".... I wouldn't call the stories horrible.. there are games with worse plots. I liked the stories from U1 and 2,MW and Carbon cuz .. well they're funny in a way ... NFS meant fantasy racing before and now it has become a half simulator. so overall .. I'm not saying that this game is crappy .. I'm saying that it shouldn't be called Need For Speed. I'm prob gonna buy it along with a gaming steering wheel to see how good are it's physics.

  • I don't really judge/ care about video game plots unless they are RPGs, I do judge movies though. From what I can tell it is hard to make a racing movie that has a good plot unless it is a real documentary (Audi of America)... What I like about Shift is the combination between a simulator and arcade-like scoring, I think it is awesome.

    I do agree that it (and Prostreet) aren't like a lot of the other NFS games, but I'm liking the changes. It isn't as hardcore as Forza but it is still realistic.

  • and yeah .. everybody's mentioning this game's "great physics engine" along with an orgasm.I'm not sayin' that it's not good but what's up with that? have you forgotten what NFS was about?

  • Yeah well maybe u might be able 2 drive but kids like myself may not becoz der not old evuf so i suggest u shut da fuck up

  • If you are that young why are you cussing like a sailor?

    I never said that driving was the only way of getting inspired, I only said I don't see how it is possible to get inspired by Fast and Furious, and I get inspired by driving...

    I never said that there aren't movies/video games out there that can't inspire.

  • woteva

  • Don't hurt your brain too much trying to come up with something to say now...

  • Ouch.

    A lot.

  • Why are you such an idiot?

  • Then why do you keep responding and making yourself look like one?

  • Man, i admire the realistic driving experience u get with SHIFT but....if i wanna feel like i'm driving...well i'll just drive my car. What i want to feel while playing a game is fun! i wanna be able to do sth i can't do in real life...and trust me, i won't get into a car chase just for the thrill of it ;)

  • if you get in a real car you will crash :O

  • I remember it :P I love this track ;0

  • so does it brings any influence?

  • omg tommorow

  • Record set by a Mazda 787b I guess?

  • COMES OUT TUESDAY 9/15/09

  • Wow I'm a Gran Turismo player and I have to say this NFS looks awesome it looks worth buying.

  • Been waiting for a game like this. I think this one is the closest to Gran Turismo series, on PC.

  • uuu kle chimba :D:D:D

  • nfs has always such a great video and so on, but how many years i have to wait, until the will release simulation game? not arcade for 1+ yrs old

  • have to admit, nfs games are getting a bit crap now but i will always get a nfs when it comes out because they always pay for the licensing for lots of vehicles that other game devs dont

  • this game is just a copy of GRID, but with a more realistic handling

  • Hi i've never played any NFS's before.. how do you start off in the game ? like a shit car and then gota get money to build you way up orr?? can someone explain ? cheers.

  • yes in the previous nfs titles but for this no one knows...

  • yeah pretty much usually. But the game has been all about street racing in a free roam city, running from cops, racing for pink slips and stuff. This is a total change in what the game used to be.

  • u drive for a racing team and must start with a "budget" car,,,like the Golf GTI

    u work your way up winning races and running in faster cars later on

  • i remember gran turismo 4 and i dont think that this is too hard

  • fail

  • r u dumb

  • I hate the corksrew or watever its called, I remember playing Gran Torismo 2 (lol long time) for ps1, I used to go in the grass/sand instead of going on the track

  • Hahaha. Gran Turismo 2 kick ass at that time. I remember using a Viper Dodge GTR at that cockscrew part of the track and skidded off into the sand path below and get run over by oncoming racers. xD

  • HEY i used to do that too!! but i would used that beast looking red Suzuki rally car cuz it was fast as hell!! lol

  • the Suzuki Escuda?

    981HP

    over 2500 rpms lol

  • lol yeah that red beast!!! i used to kick ass with that car back in my days lol

    no car would ever beat me! i was damn rich in that game!!!! =]

  • Monster Tajima's Suzuki? More than 1000 hp and not suited to nice cement tracks.

  • NFS carbon,prostreet and undercover are total flops.Hope this NFS kix ass!!!

    I want it to score 10/10 at IGN and gamespot.Pray with me brothers.

  • remember when IGN reviewed undercover!!!!!???? Dood the guy tore the game apart!! 4/10!!!!! Hope this games gets 9 or 10/10 or 5/5

  • im with you:p

  • im with ya man

  • wish they would do another ubnderground

  • the only thing wrong with this game is there is no muscle cars from the 60's and 70s but ea should know if this game is a flop they should stop

  • the corkscrew turn in leguna seca is much more tight in real life, the track in this game was made much easier to tackle

  • Im going to buy this on all consoles

    lOL!

  • wats the point in that

  • wish they had the drag raceway Santa pod!!!!!..........

  • This NFS is gonna own! It has the Bugatti Veyron and the Mazda track in Laguna Seca! AWESOME!

  • damn its cooler than the prostreet and undercover

  • It's all about the right car in driving simulators.

  • this is mmy most favorite track on all games cause i've been to it in real life

  • this track was hard on gt 2 before.

  • lol just watched motor trend and then they were hot lapping this circuit. it prety looks the same.

  • The Best Car I Unlocked On NFSU 2 Was Nissan Skyline How Do You Get Them All

  • i am only driving muscle cars like corvette but one accseption i will drive the lambo

  • NFS 2 has a great garage. BMW Nazca C2, Ford Indigo, Ford GT90, Italdesign Cala, Ferrari F50, McLaren F1, Jaguar XJ220, Lotus Esprit and some bonus cars like FZR 2000

  • 1:19 IZ THAT A LADA :O
