A drifting related blog, check out the "drift park" picture which is a freight depot in Nevada it looks like a drifters paradise!

Holy mother of the Almighty. I plugged up my laptop to my TV and watched that video with my turtle beaches on. I'm going to pre-order the game and just gripe about it later. That was awesome, I am sold.

looking forward to seeing how they have improved the painting options as this vid was done with SHIFT 1!!!!

Thank you

I don't think we should over sell it but there really are so many things to like about this game. I'm really looking forward to what essentially should have been GTR on the XBox a few years ago.
It's going to be a fun Spring

now that's an impressive track list! Can't wait to drive around Donington, one of my favourite race tracks and i've never driven round there on a game before

ugh, this game is looking better and better.

One thing I did notice, being cynical about the game already, is on the parts of the vid showing telemetry the car looks just the same onthe tarmac as Shift 1. It's just sliding constantly.

The one I have done utilises the one direct from the NFS site. I agree with Suzuka and Barcelona actually. Pretty sure I have seen glimpses of those when I think about it.

Ebisu

Its a drift track, but racing around some of the runs at Ebisu would be crazy-mentalist stuff.

slightly worried about behind the car view,i have not seen any footage.

Here's a video showing some raw gameplay behind the R&T feature. The car is just sliding constantly as they try to drive it around a corner. Looks LIke Shift 1.

Graphically thats some of the most impressive coverage of this game I've seen sofar.
I see what you mean about the sliding buuuut there seems to be alot of showboating going on there. The steering through Turn 1 seemed fine to me.

That's really not bad on the sliding. It was more oversteer than an actual slide. Go drive a Pagani on this game in third person and see if there's much different. I don't think it is

to me its looking positive,like the car seems to go through the chicane nicely,for the rest of it i think theres a nice bit of over throttle going on just listen to the revs. i hope i,m right
