Posted Mar.10, 2009 under Other Technology, Windows

Eight Need For Speed: Shift Screenshots Know much about Need for Speed: Shift? Neither do we! EA’s released eight new screenshots from the game that we can gaze longingly at, though.

Unlike many previous NFS games that emphasized street racing and arcade-style driving, Need For Speed: Shift is a realistic, simulation racer. It’s being developed by GT Legends creators Slightly Mad Studios. It’s set for a Fall 2009 release for PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and PSP.

Shift is one of several different NFS titles currently in development. Also in the works is the arcade-style Need for Speed: Nitro, free-to-play Need for Speed: World Online, and an unannounced project.
