Wtf is up with Shift's handling? The game looks great, why did they have to throw it away with GRiD like handling :no:

Turn the aids off ;)

... Then proceed to turn them back on again after you obliterate your driver after hitting a wall sideways at 60 MPH. :p

WHAT???

grid like?

all those reviews where they compared the game to likes of Forza, GT...

did EA also pay the reviewers? :p

btw, what driver aids are you using?

low TC is a must for gamepad users (atleast in GTR2 :D ).

I've not even read the reviews for the game, but if they are saying the handling is comparable to Forza and GT, lmao then yeah they've been paying them all off. It's not even close to either game, I have no idea who the hell would even suggest that. It didn't even enter my mind.

Honestly, NFS Shift is just like GRiD, you make a slight nudge on the thumb stick and it doesn't just turn the car, it doesn't even just slide it. It's over the top drifting.

@spookie, I was only playing the first race where they test your driver skill and what difficulty level you should play on / what aids you should use.

Seriously, I can't believe reviews are saying the handling is like Forza/GT. Funniest **** I've heard all year :laugh:

Might want to... Err... Get past the first race where... Err... You can adjust the steering lock on the car... ;D

I let the game calculate my settings based on my driving...

Plus I didn't see anything about adjusting steering lock?

Set it to experienced and fiddle with the assists. :)

Steering lock is under car tuning. After a bit of tweaking I can set my M3 to almost full lock on experienced with low traction control and unless I turn out then in when hitting a corner or hit it at 80MPH the car screeches like cat going through a mangle but I still come out the other end at full pelt with a tiny bit of correction to prevent a drift.

I am loving the game just wish I could get to play it a bit more.

Trying to pry the controller out of unimatrix xero's hands is a task (a personal audience with the pope is an easier task in comparison).

Whens the PC version out? Its not even listed on Gamestops computers.
November or December. It was pushed back to be a flagship DX11 game.

Wow really? Amazon lists it as the 25th September. Damn I was hoping to pick it up then :(

edit: Damn you're right :( http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/59412

Dirt2 is great! My only gripes with it so far are the cheezy dialog during the track intros, the lack of any real car customizing and "Liveries" :rolleyes:

I take the cheesy dialogue as long as I can hear the announcer keep saying my nickname over and over again...spanky! My personal favorite would have to be when there is a lot of contact and I hear, "Spanky, you are being too aggressive out there!" :woot:

    • The Microsoft Office feature that time forgot

      WTF! Nah, not this one. If you were back then using computers in the 90s or you had a clue, you'd know this was huge and was seen and overused absolutely everywhere and you'd take this article as no more than a retrospective story. That's all it is.

      these "editors" get paid by the amount of articles and not the quality of content; hence why we get this random stuff from the same "editor" time and time again.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      256 times the quality of an audio cd? I think audio cd's sound good so even twice as good as that would be something.

      It’s not about the NOx. It’s about the electrical field.
