Need for Speed Shift 2 Unleashed

yeah i disagree with Nicky as well i think Forza has pretty decent understeer you can really tell when a car understeers, i hate understeer with a passion!

There is no feel in the tyres that you are understeering, the car literally just doesn't turn in. Thats not what understeer should feel like.

dunno if this helps or will even work but I'll try streaming from my phone


Free video streaming by Ustream

Its working

That's pretty cool magic, how did you set up a stream through your phone?

What you think of the game then?

its an iphone app. the Justin.tv app only would stream 9 secs ;O( it was better quality, wish I could get it to work. Using ustream app instead ;O)

Hope this is giving an insight for you lot. Or is it not worth the effort?

p.s. sorry I keep redoing the 8C one, but I'm only 1 tenth off of the top on friends autolog !!

Only just started. Got myself a trusty Golf. Even the main menu screen has me dribbling though!

Ok, Stream over ;O)

Cheers magic, I had it on in the background while tidying

Ah, shame, missed your stream. Would liked to have seen that, but I really need to head to bed soon.

Will be picking up Shift 2 tomorrow, but don't know when I will get the chance to play it, too much priority stuff to deal with ATM.

playing it now.

it's gonna take some getting used to

hahahahahahahahaha

and from behind General in the UK

MCDONALDS BURGERS EVERYWHERE I TURN ON SILVERSTONE!

Can we use painted cars online? And following that can we paint any car i.e. a GT1 car so we can make our own liveries for online of do we have to use the real GT1 liveries?

I'm also tempted to buy this on the PC as well so I can use my good wheel and no doubt there will be plently of mods available at some point.

No idea man. Absolutely no idea I haven't even touched the paint editor

There's waaaayyyyy more 'preset Blackmore liveries' to choose from this time out for a start. You can unlock more and more complex vinyls and such for the editor as you go on. There's nothing in the book that says you can't use your paints online. I know there is a reported glitch at the moment which will probably be patched out.
My main issue at the moment is my 360's decision to freeze every so often during gameplay which is annoying me. The game is actualy very good. Was, to be honest, expecting to be underwhelmed but it's suprising me and meeting my expectations.
Even the main menu screen is just simply gorgeous to look at, especially with the haunting BGM!
Like Worm I'll be prepping a mini review for here before I work, along with the rest of the TORACast team on the biiiiig review for the next show.

Matt install game to hard drve aparntley fixes freze outs

If you look closely you can see Rouen, and you can also see what looks like the Curva Grande at Monza in the 70's...

You really can tell that SMS are recycling car and track models from GTR and GTL, good on 'em

On the freezes, even though I've installed to Hard Drive, my sometimes just gets a blank black screen, but I can still hear sound. Never while racing, usually when going to start a race.

I can always get the picture back by pressing the xbox button on my wheel ;O)

Discovered my TDU2 is actually useful.

£30 part-ex value.

I've already discovered the biggest pain in the arse in the game, overcorrecting steering.

And its actually destroying my enjoyment of the game already. Im ok with front wheel drive cars, but once its anything with rear wheel drive the steering goes apeshit.
