You know, it'd be kind of cool if games actually SOLD that marketing space to people instead of just using it to promote themselves. Then they could use that additional income to make the game cheaper, or to make it better and with more content, or even just to make themselves richer. The last isn't exactly desirable, but at least it means the company is less likely to go bust and stop making games we like.

Seems like a massive lost opportunity to me...
 
They did in Shift 1. It used a dynamic billboard system similar to burnout paradise for in-game advertising. Probably you will see something similar in Shift 2, it's just that none of them are connected to the ad server :)

Lol. So they're not completely stupid, it's just that the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.
 
The Pagani Huayra trailer is live! :drool:



The sound/graphics/presentation is amazing!! :D
Also the way the suspension works over the kerbs looks incredibly real! 👍

shame everything else the guy said sounded really promising but no pit stops or racing regulations, just screams kids arcade racing to me. One of the reasons im bored of gt5 is that the a spec races just dont offer any kind of racing strategy or the like.
 
Looks great! It appears, from the brief glimpses anyway, that the car bounces around a lot less than what it did in the original Shift. Really looking forward to this game! I just need to see a proper gameplay video then I'm sold!

OMG, this was just the sexiest video I've ever watched, I'm really excited about this game now. As a "game", I'm more than certain it'll be better than GT5.

Big 👍 to EA

That sound... Oh my friggin' god, that sound! Gonna need a new pair of boxers...

Seriously, that's pretty darn good. If the physics are half as good as GT5's, I'm sold... A racing sim with good looks, good physics, good sound, good customization, good presantation. That does sound too good too be true. Where's the catch? :lol:

SCNR :D
 
Just hope it's not doctored for this trailer... The sound is just too good to be true and until now, nobody at EA or SMS said/confirmed it was INGAME.... their silence betrays them, I'm afraid...
 
Assuming is true, and new pagani would be in Shift:2 then is next question. Which platform? PS3 or X360.

Game it self would be released 10 days later in Europe. Schedule for 31 march

If you want more options in terms of wheels, you'll probably be looking to get the PS3 version.

It's the lead platform this time around, isn't it? As opposed to Shift 1?

I guess you could say that they had to shift their focus on hardware *puts sunglasses on*
 
Pagani are looking like They are Making friends with E.A .The Video is Awesome and the Sound Wow .PLease don't let it be Exclusive though I want to drive it in GT6 :D

Not aimed at you as such but every few months there's a build up to "insert simcade game here" and a certain crowd wants physics, pit-stops, proper online. The games after release get called a failure, too arcadish, too casual.

A big component people want is some serious online career with realistic consequences and rules.

After spending many $ on these games time after time I just wonder if some could pop their gaming PC cherries and give iracing a go. I swear some people on here would be in wonderland if they did and would stop hoping praying before each console release to be some hardcore physics and major focused online experience.

Quote. We are still talking about EA... you know.

Except that the sounds in Shift 1 were pretty excellent. It's not that big of a jump to expect that they might be actual in-game sounds.

+1

EA has done an amazing job on delivering car sounds, even if they are cranked to 11.

And +1. I don't have much of a reason to doubt it does sound like that in-game.
