  • This game is very realistic. Trust me. This video is no lie. GT5 needs to take notes.

  • Please DONT buy this game if you are expecting it to be realistic. I have just powerslided round over half of the corners at the Nurburgring in a Caterham...

    Also another unrealistic part is the sound. There is distortion added to the exhaust sounds, my Seat Leon Cupra sounds completely different in real life than in the game.

    If you want realism buy Forza or GT5 depending on which console you use.

  • Psst..EA, maybe if you guys weren't such selfish DICKS and let T10 have porche, maybe your community wouldn't have to mod for ferraris ;).

  • Still wont be as realistic as Gran Turismo.

  • @harrrison66

    Not true...

  • lol is it just me or does the in game footage look better than the real life footage? XD

  • Because of SHIFT 2 Unleashed, I have understand some elements present between the game and in real life. Sense of speed, G-Force, Field of View and driver's view. That's why every time I'm with my uncle driving his taxi, I always sit in front passenger seat to differentiate the gameplay and in real life. This just proves that SHIFT 2 Unleashed intends to experience what's behind the wheel of a car.

  • I want to know..before I get it..Is the steering better then Shift 1?

  • @TehEpicNumber17 about the same really but it is better tuned and more responsive,more fun in my opinion

  • @mrtuttle76 Good enough for me. If it's more responsive then perhaps its worth a look

  • @TehEpicNumber17 yea had some more time playing it,real fun game and challenging,definetly worth a look

  • this game looks cool but most of the stuff there trying to say is new has already been done.

    Forza 4

    Grand turismo 5

    the head cam is just new to need for speed.

  • Games will never be entirely realistic. For example in open world games you can't feel the wind or the rain or the jolt from a crash or fall so you aren't careful/totally immersed, in racing games you can hit restart when you slam into a wall, in real life you wouldn't want to destroy your car/kill yourself therefore would be careful and learn the track. Thats just how it is, games are fun, reality is real. If you want a realistic race take your car to the track, its not cheap but its worth it.

  • When you take a the same car on the same track as in the game, you definatelly won't go so fast into a corner as in the game, you won't step on the gas as early,

    thats why a game aint "realistic"

  • Now, I like all gran turismo games, but those aint realistic either, gameplay however felt like real.

    It played nice, fast, but not as easy as other arcadegames

    GT5 sucks, "nice" graphics, but no FUN anymore, cars feel too much understeer always

    Forza, never played, no comment

    Shift still is total unrealistic, but I like the way it feels.

    You feel the speed, but still, unrealistic

    Here the cars seem to float, they waggle too much

    LIKE the gameplay, like the graphics, but no realism

  • REALISM can never be achieved by a game, unless we get our brains logged into the game, controlling everything by our mind itself (like in the movies in the year 2040 or so)

  • I'd like the game a bit more if it wasn't such a show. I mean I want the game to put me in the driverseat and race and no camera here and there to show how awesome my car looks (if it does) and the chicks and the blablabla.

    About realism: cars behave too spongy and the wheel feel is not as good as it might be, it is as spongy as the cars' behaviour. The game is ok, but there are better simulations on PC and consoles ...

    Graphics could be better.

  • i have this game for ps3 and i must say it is an excellent game, people say "the cars drive like boats" which is fucking not true, this game has realism that forza and gt cannot match, i have forza 4 and gt 5 and this game and 100% this game wins, i swear people who say the physics are shit doesnt know realism, learn to fucking turn a corner!

  • I was told this game was a driving simulator, sadly when I played it, I found it was not. I've played grand turismo 1,2,3,4 & 5 and I must say this game feels very arcade-ish. Big disappointment. NFS fails at physics.

  • @Icureditwithmybrain

    Gran Turismo 5 isnt realistic, so maybe you have bad comparision ? :>

  • HAHAHAHA 0:40 I was confused between game footage and real footage

  • PROPAGANDA DE MIERDA

  • "We have the most realistic physics engine ever released into a racing game. We have added telemetry..." FORZA DID THAT IN 2005 FOR THE ORIGINAL XBOX YOU BABBLING BAFOONS!

  • maybe ill wait for shift 3

  • I like the shift series compared too all the other NFS. Only little kids/RICERS and people that absolutely don't know how too drive beg for UNDERGROUND 3 or MOST WANTED 2. >.> so they can rice up more cars.

  • Best need for speed ever

  • great game

  • Man ppl saying oh grand turismo and forza r better yeah they're good games but your forgetting these are the comms for NFS SHIFT 2:UNLEASHED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I cant drive worth shit at this game, but I FUCKING LOVE THIS GAME!!!!!! the ONLY thing that makes me rage is that my sound card is a peice of shit and cant handle the games sound. I lose every single race I enter, but I keep coming back because Its a pure epic game.

  • Ok I buyed the game, installed it played for 30 min, the first 8 min is the blabla intro and some fat headed guy talks something. Uninstaled the game and sold the game. This game sucks... from scale 0 to 10 this game is a barely 5. Race Driver Grid is a good 9.

  • @cakix1 Grid is one of my favorites, but it doesn't hold a candle to the realism of Shift 2. This game really is a test of whether or not you know how to drive a car. The only people I've ever seen hate this game are the ones who can't drive for shit.

  • @HeraldandGerald the driving is not the problem, Im a gt fan and driving goes good in life and in game but I don't like the Shift :D

  • @MrSnazzle69

    @BaneOfFreeSpeech

    guys, you are absolutely right. Shift2 is highly underrated. Trolls bashing it are mostly fanboys showing me they have no good estimation for what racing enthusiasm and good physics model mean.

    I had 3 options (gt5, forza3 and shift2) before i bought my xbox and i chose from a comparison vid on youtube. it was the right choice. Shift2 kicks ass.

    Even with pad.

    @DrDiesel

    get an xbox and join this december into some stunning nordschleife gt racing!!

  • I have to tell they put a really good effort in to this game - and it was 100% worth it. Even though I didn't have a chance to play this game (my PC isn't strong enough to support graphics), I saw some gameplays and how my friend plays it. It is absolutely epic game! How car handles, how it turns, how your vision changes when it gets darker - sometimes I felt that I was driving a real racing car. I think I have to move GTR2 from my #1 spot, and put SHIFT2 Unleashed there, where it should be)

  • los que dicen que este juego es malo es por que no han podido comprarse el juego y peor aun no tiene PS3

  • This game is crazzyyy

  • I think the only flaw possibly is the steering wheel lag to the game. Other than that its as close to realism any racing game can get.

  • Some people say this game is crap but its not bad

  • If you say that this game sucks and isn't realistic worth shit. Who cares? I race gokarts professionally in the WKA. I like this game. I think it's pretty realistic from my experience. I'm 15 years old and I'm not complaining. I'm sure you guys are 35 and trolling. If you want a real driving experience, pick up a fucking helmet, grow some balls and fucking race.

  • @MrSnazzle69 In them faces. haha

  • @MrSnazzle69 GoKart is quite a bit different from driving a car bud. But you wouldn't know that.

  • @rcman123 why do you think i said from my experience? douchebag

  • @MrSnazzle69 I am a female hygiene product. You kiddies are so immature.

  • @MrSnazzle69 oh my god thank you man, its about time some adults realise this. im 18 and have started competing in rally, so it pisses me off when people say the same shit about gran turismo and dirt 3. grow up guys.

  • @MrSnazzle69 well said man..... but i don't think it's as easy as a helmet and some balls

  • @MrSnazzle69 Good comments. I have a competition race license. I run this on a fast PC with good 3d card. I love physics and ability to throttle steer like in a real car. I hated the Playstation version. Maybe I need to check out the Playstation again - but it seemed cartoon like and numb. I need to tweak a small amount of wheel lag --patch maybe? Also setting up the cars better. I plug the PC into a 60 inch TV - with surround. If you can't drive a race car - you may hate this game :)

  • @MrSnazzle69 For a 15 year old boy with hardly any pubic hair you talk about balls like you actually have then set on you, but you are so far away of actually having real balls that you shouldn't even mention them! And clean up your language, you talk like you have grew up in prison.

  • @SuperDinof for a 45 year old predator u sure have a lot to say dont like then gtfo

  • @MrSnazzle69 real racing is something many people cannot afford. There are better simulators. The thing that might molest people about shift 2 is that it claims to have something to do with real racing.

  • @MrSnazzle69 kid

  • @MrSnazzle69 Youre 15 mate, and you claim this game is realistic, how would you know if you cant even drive??

  • I will admit the music is fucknig retarded and it should have an option to play music from your HD kinda like the old Dub Edition 2.

  • Lol at 1:43 I thought he was reversing really fast

  • Why don't you play a real game. Racing is shit nowadays. They killed it, it's dead.

  • Seriously if you suck at this game its because your a crap ass driver. sure not EVERYTHING is spot on about REAL racing. But honestly if you cannot tune your car to take a track fast then go play gran turismo or forza. OR spend about 20 minutes on a track tuning the car and learning how to fucking drive. you dont get to just mash the gas and take a decreasing radius turn with no brake. learn to drive. now I know where the assholes are on the road.lol. its a game. a good one.

  • @BaneOfFreeSpeech Well, the problem is that this game is not a racing game since it is much about presentation. You restart a race and sit there waiting for the crowds to leave and the lights to appear and so on. Then it needs mods so that the cars don't feel like boats in the water.

  • people who say this game is shit truly are not true fans and love driving games ....these ppl are simply like need for speed street racing games are pussies , might as well play mario kart .

    fucking cunts.

  • This game is just utter shit. There are no words that can describe just how bad this game is.

  • shift 1 is 100 times better than shift 2! what I hate the most in this game is the helmet view or whatever you call it and the graphics which sucks! shift 1 has better graphics, but hey this is only my opinion you don't need to agree with me

  • @Baseerat6501283125 No youre not.

  • shift 2 is hard but amazing game

  • It's free on torrents, idiots.

  • @Kazoo4U some of us can actually afford games...

  • @spicyd2 Awesome. Pay the companies that make them so we, others, can have more free games then :D

  • THIS CAME OUT ALLREADY!!!

  • Gonna pick this one up! Love racing games!

  • team sumo

  • i want this game so bad , can anyone please gift it to me ? pm me

  • @20001belkin it's just 29.99 in steam. I got a weekend deal and got it for 14.99 from steam.

  • @vssubasena1s its 50 in my country , so yeah :'(

  • I dont want realistic i want fun

  • @Anonymoussification this game is both

  • wtf is that beastmoblie at 1:43?

  • @SlikBaller

    That my good sir is the "Team Need for Speed AWD Scion tC Time Attack" racer.

  • GT5 is more realistic but this looks awesome!! 

  • and i also agree with aimellia 626

  • oh yes i agree shift 2 unleashed is more for people who like intense racing battle while GT5 is for more novice drivers

  • Play GT5 if you want realism but bit boring actually.

    And play this if you have some fun...

  • @Mohammed0087

    The graphics are downright amazing, there is over 75 cars, the handling is realistic, and it's your opinion that it's boring. 1990 don't think it's boring, apparently.

  • this game sucks , graphics are shit , only few cars , handling sucks and it is boring !! 1,989 are white cunts

  • @Mohammed0087 noooope. chuck testa.

  • as much as u want to make the game much more realistic u shud also bear in mind that it's just a game so it shud be entertaning and fun to the players rather than stressing

  • I think that was enough for me, im sold

  • @noobowner358 agree

  • Tink SHIFT is going to beat GTR ass?

  • this is not a sim. its a kids gaming trying to be a sim. go get RACE07 and you will experience a real sim thumbs up so people can see what real sims are

  • @staticxmako yeah i played RACE07 from my uncle's house no difference.it's the same

  • @jeremyneedforspeed no its not. at all you have to be kidding

  • @staticxmako well that's what you think.for me they are a duplicate of the real world more like a practise to me before entring the real world so both of them i support because racing games are as one community.it doesn't matter how bad it is as long as we enjoy it i support all racing games

  • @staticxmako 1 Malaysia

  • 71 people doesn't know how to use a brake.

  • also if don't like the physics no need to play need for speed series just play something else for pete's sake

  • people who don't like this game are just only people who like to play games instead of making them a dream come true

  • you want inderground 3? alright make one for yourself no need EA you just do it yourself

  • i want to know how the drifting improved on this game somebody please tell me

  • mother fucker i want it!!

  • 3:13 i think i came :/

  • i didnt like gt5 , it s boring , should i buy this game ?

  • @TheXGaMeR16 yes, its not boring at all. lots of action going on in this game, and it feels/looks very realistic. its a must have.

  • Shift 2 is a complete waste of money! If you're considering buying it, DON'T! Physics engine sucks, and the AI sucks even worse (just to begin with). And now that they've announced that there won't be any more patches, I'm uninstalling it. This game was never fit for release...

  • @ptroinks yeah because you suck in driving.you don't even know how to turn properly.i play by tapping on the keyboard to stabilize the carwhile you just hold on it that's why.you don't like? alright i daare you to be come a real race driver within 2 years

  • @jeremyneedforspeed Keyboard? You use a keyboard for a racing game? I prefer a steering wheel and pedals... I'm talking about how the PHYSICS and AI works in Shift 2. After seeing how EA promoted the so-called realism of Shift 2, I expected something more than cars that behave like they weigh 5 lbs., idiotic AI drivers, the return of the "magnetic" walls from Shift 1 and crap FFB. For comparison, try Race 07. That's how it's supposed to feel!

  • @ptroinks oh shut up and play other games or be a real race driver

  • @ptroinks i use steering in my uncel's house no problem you just don't have to spirit of being a real race driver

  • i mean legit legit nfs... like go way back to the good ol' days of nfs I, II, and III... I loved the new hot pursuit and thats how they should all be made...

  • please make 1 last street racing game... thats how nsf started and everybody loved it

  • @jolio3151994 what the hell is wrong with you? every nfs game besides prostreet and shift were street racing

    and plz dont tell me that you think the series started with underground

  • WE WANT NEED FOR SPEED UNDERGROUND 3 !!!!!!

  • is this better than gt5? i hope so becayse those hoes didnt give it to pc or xbox... whores!

  • R.I.P. real Need for Speed.

  • EA, Fuck off.

    Stop being such children and share Porsche.

  • Life should get better graphics!! XD

  • should i get this , or Need For Speed : Undercover ?

  • @TheYounes789 this :D undercover is old omg.

  • @TheYounes789 undercover blows.

  • Who's the developer of the Shift games?

  • CAN SOM1 TELL ME WHY THE PHOTOS ARE SO BLURRY IN THE GALLERY?

  • I dont care how good this game is, BRING BACK THE UNDERGROUND

  • shift 2 sucks like non muslims sucks

  • @Mohammed0087

    which basically means it owns :)

  • @Mohammed0087 ga uit je tuin eten. Dit is een vrij land.

  • @Mohammed0087 - I am Hindu but I still love your comment. you just made me laugh with your creative comment. by the way i believe in "Hindu-Muslim bhai bhai"

  • Shift2 is a racing GAME

    GT5 is a driving SIMULATOR.

  • @gello1979 GT5 is a car lover/ collector game. rFactor and iRacing are simulators. 

  • Myfacehole: i was the same as you i could barely play it, go into the game settings and change shit up

  • Logitech G27+Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed 2+ Sony Playstation 3=FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

  • actually the game is more beasty and more realism (graphic) than the reality

    but i dont know on those 69 people still playing NES racing games

  • So realistic

  • this game is NOT for pussies

  • you must be blind not to see the realism in this game over gt5 or any other. and that goes to everyone.

  • hey ..thats mad mike and his rx8 :D

  • fuck this game its easier to drive in real life seriously! This is the stupidest game ive played in the nfs series, all the others i was able to beat in about 1 day but this one i cannot win at it is an abomination. Its producers were trying to put a car simulator into a racing game = fail. It is absolutely too hard event with cheat engine and the settings all the way to easy. fuck this shit fuck it WAY up i am not playing this anymore BTW i torrented this bastard, i am not giving money fo dat

  • @MyFaceHole what? you must suck

  • @MyFaceHole You must suck, PLUS if you play this with Keyboard & mouse, or even with a GAMEPAD, then dont wonder..

    get yourself a fanatec, or a g27 and play it, and you'll see, its just like in real life.

    Idiot fuck off.

    But i torrented it too, i dont want to waste my money on it.

    Still, fuck off :D

  • For all the supposed "realism" in Shift 2, the actual realism seems very disappointing. Man, I'm getting so tired of games trying to cater to absolutely everyone! Why, oh why, can't someone please release something that just works!

  • This game was disappointing

  • Its amazing in the trailer but when actually playing the game, you dont notice..your just yelling 'GETTHEFUCKOUTOFMYWAYYYYYYY'

  • Most advanced physics system ever?

    Did they forgot GT5?

  • @brainysnaeha almost all the racing games out there are trying to win GT5 lol.. i have yet to find the one which is true to real

  • Why there are not any cars unlocked for quick race?

    This is the only NFS like that.

    The game is really good but I'm disappointed for that...

    I mean you need like 10 million to buy all the cars...

    previous shift let us play with any car in quick race, but in this one you have to buy all of them to do that...

    Is there any code to unlock cars in quick race??? (Xbox 360)

  • @JuveTube777 there is a dlc for that...

  • I don't know what they did with GT5, but they probably wasted 5 years on nothing. This already looks way more amazing than GT5, and I bet the development time was shorter.

  • @stefanboy67

    Polyphony Digital had a small team when they developing GT5 so that's why it took

    5 years to finish.

    150 people worked on the GT5 but during that they also have alot of other work like

    developing Multi function meter for Nissan GT-R numerous collaboration projects

    with car makers shooting episodes for GT TV in 2008.

    150 people is not enough.

    PD is more than a game company so now they moved their studio to fukuoka and planning to expanding their team.

  • Celà ne change rien au fait que le jeu est très très décevant !! c'est vraiment prendre les consommateurs pour des idiots de montrer de telles vidéos car celà ne reflète pas les possibilités de conduite!!!!

  • gitys156 you don't like racing is becquse you don't hqve the spirit.it's the same ok only shift 2 is more realistic through engineering ok.if you don't like just forget racing and play something els that satisfy you!

  • Then Ned for Speed Shift 3: Unleashed - "This is Real Racing."

  • talk about realism and detail... wow

  • I've got that Red Bull Mazda RX-8 in game, it totally sucks, in a drifting race you can't gain any speed and turn the slightest bit or it will spin around, no other car in this game is as challenging to drive as that thing. I've completed all the drifting races on the 3rd highest realism setting and even on easy realism that mazda is a death trap

  • @speedevil22 its amasing for drifting maybe you just cant drift ..........

  • @rowtypo i think its lie... Shift 1 had stupid physics, and i think this one will have too.. Maybe it will be advanced by abit but still.. LFS and GT5 is better at physics

  • @gytis156 this game is already out..

  • @theJULIO4CP so its called unleashed?

  • @gytis156

    Well he did say "Advanced" and not "Realistic".

    That the physics engine is advanced just means they'll be able to adjust many more parameters according to individual skill level. Incidentally I don't think that a realistic Racing sim would need that advanced a physics engine, but one that sacrifices some realism for immersion like this would need it (for example the tarmac in most sims feel too smooth and perfect while in S2U it's full of imperfections making it more immersive).

  • @MrFalconfly i agree we don't really need too realistic to plat racing games just something to have fun.S2U is mostly for more experince players that have been playing racing track-based games for a long time.and yes the tarmac is imperfect to make it feel as though the track has been there for a long time so it has worn out by crashes over the pass 50 years since it was built

  • nice game but no driving with G25

  • man team need for speed has epic car's. i wish i could join some day.

  • NEW MUONLINE SERVER! NEW DATABASE! JOIN US AT MU.ADDICTED2.RO

  • It's not Real Racing, it's REAL LOOKING RACING!

    

  • DIRT 3 IS BETTER RAAAAAAA hahahahahhaha

  • looks great

  • What is that car with front exhaust?

  • @lunkprab I can't find the info in google right now, but when i saw it first time...it was interesting and wanted to know...how the fuck does that car have an exhaust on the front engine ...hard in english for me the tell such mechanical things...

  • @BIOSHOCKFOXX I've found it :D Its Chris Rado Scion tc for time attack race. I know the emblem but i forgot whats that, then i remember its scion emblem, and find it up at google :)

  • @lunkprab You can see what car it is right exactly on 1:51, have to stop the action/pause the video at the moment where you can see the front place of the car, ...ok i found.. it's SCION , i found on the guys name Cris Rado Time Attack Driver.
