Shift 2 Unleashed Realism Trailer

Wow... incredible video. If they hadn't been putting "Actual Game Footage" at the bottom of some of those clips, I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. Awesome stuff.

What gives me mixed feelings about this is that, according to the Shift thread on gtplanet, it's been confirmed there will be no tire degredation, fuel consumption effects, or pit stops.

I can see the no pit stops--some european series, for example, have races short enough that they do no pits stops, but to have no tire or fuel effects in a so-called racing sim?

Lack of those things is irritating but I can forgive them if they get the racing right. I would rather them leave it out completely than give me the buggy, half-hearted iterations of those features so familiar to console 'sims'.

Keep in mind they need to appeal to a larger crowd... I, for example, wouldn't buy this game if I had to deal with all that extra stuff. What they should/could do is implement something like what you mentioned, and just have the option available to turn things off. Best of both worlds.

I cannot wait for this game. It looks better than GT5 but, y'know, it didn't take five years. Once my countdown for The Show stops, my countdown for this starts.

Hmm, ok, so apparently there IS tire degredation:

I think I may be sold.

Tires and fuel is a must for me. I run with a league and without those features you can pretty much forget it for us. I'll read that link about the tires and hope they mention fuel.

Loved the video, but of course who doesn't love EA's vids. These guys are the masters of hype. If they did movie trailers ....... They could make "Driving Miss Daisy" look like an action-packed seat of the pants thriller. lol. But I give them their props, they DO make you look at their games.

This game could potentially be one of the best ever. I am very excited for it!
