If you were never able to understand what all the Need for Speed fuss was about, it's high time you started paying attention to the series. Some of you may recall that the franchise was given a major face-lift, and now we're getting three news NFS titles.
One such game, Need for Speed: Shift, is looking to be the most in line with our interests (we are "hardcore" still, aren't we?). Departing from the series' traditional arcade racing feel, NFS: Shift is straight up simulation.
It's hard to judge a racing game based on in-game screenshots when one of the genre's biggest factors is handling and a number of other things that need to be seen in motion, but damn do I like the look of the in-cockpit camera.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Sad. I had good memories but recent entries are slowly erasing even those good times.
@Chronic Logic - for the most part (certainly not all), theyre accessible, fun racing games, that have a robust customization system to keep people playing. I played Carbon a heck of a lot, buying new cars and making them look cool.
By GT4 you mean Gran Turismo 4, the gold standard of simulation racing?? Actually it doesn't matter. I haven't played this game yet so I have no clue how it'll turn out :P
Burnout and Mario Kart are more my cup of motor oil anways haha.
Yeah I do. I loved the way it was pretty much a spiritual remake of Test Drive 2.
The shots above looke like GRID, only wihout the cool damage-model.
