Like solardog and some others I too have witnessed a massive slow down in the game

At first I thought my grfx cards were overheating and were throttling back - but that wasnt the case.

I was like playing a multiplayer online game where you have a 56K modem and are trying to connect to a server in Antartica

I had to manually shut the game down via task manager (Win 7) then start the game again - I witnessed it again today.

I know its not specs

Is there any kind of video tutorial for drifting? I'd like to learn how to do it well and not do it by chance, like I've been doing by now.

The game should have included a tutorial for this IMO.

it should be interesting to see if those drifting tutorials you can find online are gonna work in the game (hand brake turns for front wheel drive cars, etc) ... most of them say you have to ease off on the throttle to stop spinning out

:(Right... I have rewrote "Language: French / English" in the details at left just under my location... If your still not happy, complain to the admins for making this website available to non English native users.

uummm I don't care I was just educating people.

As for the game, I was going to get it.... But by some of the reviews I'm glad I didn't!

I am now selling my copy. I was foolish about buying this, compared to Forza 3 this is just a pile of fail.

I just played the forza 3 demo and IMO shift is better.

Forza completely misses the sense of speed and intensity of being in a race car, and the cockpit view blows. With some tweaks to the handling settings (posted a page or two back by someone) shifts handling is also much improved and is just really tweakable if you don't like it.

I just find shift so much more intense and fun than forza.

I think this guy (who actually liked forza better) explains why shift is awesome pretty will though lol

Shift is like wild stallion trying to rape your ass. It's sooo hardcore. The volatile, borderline nervous steering. The overwhelming, raw sense of speed. The unforgiving reality of having no way to undo any mistake made on the track. The AI - out for blood. Rear-ending, blocking, bumping off, spinning out the player at every opportunity. Real *******s. Acting just as aggressive as real humans act online. Only the braking is a little more forgiving than Forzas.

I can understand people liking forza better than shift but its definitely not "terrible crap" like some people are saying.

I have yet to try the forza demo (I'll just wait for it to come out) but I am not only not liking Shift, I am completely disgusted that they released such a horrible game. The graphics are pretty and I like some of the aspects of the physics, but it is definitely FAR from realistic and also very far from being an arcader. It set out to be a combination of both and then it turns into just feeling weird. Even then though I would think it would be a somewhat decent game if all you had to do was race, but the drifting is simply appalling. I can not believe somebody had the thought "hey! let's make it so the back end is on ice and the front isn't!". How is this realistic in any way? I used to rally race, and I still have fun drifting when I get hold of a rwd or 4wd car. I can tell you honestly, that it feels not even slightly like it does in this game. I've seen some people praise how realistic the drifting is, but it is not at all. Anybody who tells you that is full of it.

I anxiously awaited this game for a long time and bought it on release day, and I REALLY wish I hadn't.

I'm playing the 360 version and I'm enjoying it. It's definitely more fun that previous NFS games and I feel I will play this game a few more weeks. However, after 3 days, I already unlocked Tier 4 and I'm feeling the game is running to its end. My BMW 135i is a beat though. :laugh:

i just played grid and dirt 2 and they both feel like kiddie games compared to shift. The handling is so much easier in both of those games. I am actually a lot better at the codemaster games because i am so used to the difficultly of shift. All you have to do in the codemasters game is go fast! brake hard... turn, go fast! and repeat. It's like their is no real skill involved unless another driver in the game hits you. I haven't tried the forza demo, but shifts gameplay is head over heels better then what's out there right now.

^lol

btw, its so easy to over turn the AI cars :p

Yeah this is probably my biggest announce with the game, its like your car is a bulldozer driving through a pile of balloons. I didn't notice it as much until I got into the ub3r fast cars where you can just plow straight through them lol.

@+Audioboxer LMAO

LOL, perfect description. I wish we could turn that off somehow. Maybe an ini setting or config tweak?
