Need For Speed: SHIFT 2 Races Towards End Of 2011
Need for Speed: SHIFTIf it ain't broke, don't fix it. Or rather, if you only need to make a few tweaks and improvements, don't abandon a solid foundation.
Last year's Need for Speed: SHIFT was a great racing game that put intensity on a pedestal; that cockpit view was both realistic and exhilarating. And here's some good news if you enjoyed the experience: EA has let it slip that a sequel is in the works, and now, Need for Speed: SHIFT 2 is set for a fourth-quarter release in 2011. As of now, we have little to nothing in the way of details, but it's probably the second NFS game EA cited in February; the first was Criterion's upcoming Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, which is slated for this November. So what are you hoping for in SHIFT 2? Granted, there is room for improvement but let's not forget that in terms of in-car realism, Gran Turismo 5 should once again set the bar. So EA will definitely have their work cut out for them, despite the legions of hardcore NFS followers. We know you're out there.
We'll let you know when EA decides to tell us more about the anticipated sequel. Hopefully, we won't have to wait too long.

I just hope they fix all the technical bugs that plagued the first game. Other than that, more cars, more tacks, and that's about all I want.

But if shift 2 ends up being really good I might pick it up(I highly doubt it) That's if I am not to busy playing GT5, MotorStorm apocalypse amd Dirt 3.

i hope EA are not giving the NFS of old a hitch though, i really want a new NFS game open world style like the old NFS most wanted that was probably the BEST NFS GAME EVER RELEASED!
the cop chases were so much fun, the boss races were great and the marker additions added a tension to the win i loved it!
ive been screaming for a hot pursuit game since the 2nd one came out, now we have it EA please dont abandon the open world style of NFS!
o, and get criterion back on burnout i really miss paradise i was really hoping for a new burnout game this year but i guess hot pursuit will have to do!
