(I filed this under rumors as it has not yet been confirmed by EA. Although, the website from which the info originates from is regarded as reliable.)
For those worried that NFS Shift would be a carbon copy of GRiD this latest info should quell your fears. GTsurgeons has uncovered some promising details regarding the games physics model. From the looks of it Shift will be closer the games like Gran Turismo, Forza, and even PC sims like rFactor and GTR1/2/E. This is good news for hardcore racing fans. The article also reiterates that the game will still be approachable for those that are used the more arcade style driving games. Here are some highlights translated from the site:
* Physics model of NFS: Shift is based on those of "Ferrari Project"
* Professional setting is more accurate to drive than in GTR2
* Eero Piitulainen of Richard Burns Rally has developed totally new tyre-physics model which is mainly responsible for new physics
* Difference between 3 physics-models is in assist levels, while lowest setting will provide around 10% of more tyre grip for beginners
* Professional setting will require wheel in order to successfully manage throttle/braking and steering inputs

EA has announced that Need for Speed Carbon, Need for Speed Undercover, Need for Speed Shift, Need for Speed Shift 2: Unleashed, and Need for Speed The Run will be removed from digital storefronts beginning today, May 31.
From a preservation standpoint, this is the one thing I hate about digital games. And things will get much worse if game streaming becomes the norm.
NFS Undercover, Carbon,Prostreets, Rivals, 2015 Reboot, Payback , 2012 Mostwanted was no good, far as I'm concerned they can remove Heat too . it doesn't matter anymore if Ea remove them they "All" crap.
Ea went down hill after Blackbox studio left.
Ghost did not improved NFS , Criterion did nothing better and here they are back to screw NFS again. 2022 will be another flop as the first title they made (Burnout for Speed)
I own some of these games does that mean I can no longer download them? Or just purchase?

Most wanted 2012 imo was awful, on PS3 the graphics are dreadful, and the crash cam was very annoying. Rival is the worst imo, hated that game. My favourite is Hot Pursuit, great game. Also Shift 1&2 are really good.
High Stakes will always be my favorite. Great cars, great music, and you could see through the windows which was pretty mind-blowing at the time. Best of all it was ricer-free.
Lame. The list doesn't even include any of the originals. NFS 1 and NFS hot Pursuit 1998. Must be a youngster who created the list.
From my personal experience NFS I personally don't like.......
The Worst : Underground 2 , Carbon, Prostreets, Undercover, Porche unleashed, Nitro, NFS World, 2012 Mostwanted, Rivals, 2015 Reboot last but not least Paycrap.
Best NFS I personally like :
All ps1 NFS : HighStakes (the best) including NFS 3 Hotpursuit , ps2 Hotpursuit 2 (Excellent game ) ..Underground ( Best so far)
2005 Mostwanted ( Excellent game) Shift 1/2 (Spectacular) remind me of GT , 2010 Hotpursuit Great game but race Waaaaaaay to long in my personal opinion . Last but not least The Run . these are my favorite NFS titles .
After The Run in my personal opinion NFS went down hill fast with Open world mapping crap, always online, multiplayer crap, alldrive, drifting in every freaking corners, no gripping anymore,autolog. None of this crapfest is NFS original formula. until Ea contract Ghost Games to return the original formula back in NFS it will always be Shitty game.
Hardcore Gamer: For the price of a pizza, you can get ProStreet, Shift 1, Shift 2, and Undercover.
With only 60 cars?no thanks!
what do you want. but based on the last NFS games they have always included a respectable stock car list. EA is going to milk anything till its dry. Not that there is anything right with that, but get used to it. Also I believe it was confirmed that there would be 70+ cars. Which is actually bigger than any previous NFS game. But then again is kinda sad compared to GT5p which has 70+ cars and is a prologue and not even a complete game.
yo can I get some approvals here please. This is actual news not teh ps3 rules or teh 360 is da bomb or company x is DOOMED! There is too much of that crap on this site and if stories like mine don't get approved then thats all there will be.
Also looked pretty good, and I hope Forza 3 looks as good as SHIFT.
EA want money.
Gimme Gimme Gimme!!!!!
