Slightly Mad Studios’ Need for Speed: SHIFT is going to be ”the best-looking racer out there” according to its producer, Suzi Wallace.
Many have commented the released screenshots for SHIFT are renders but all the shots are of in-game graphics she affirms. None of them have been ”edited in any way.”
”I think it’s the best-looking racer out there. If you look at our cockpits especially, there are other games with cockpits out there but I do think we’ve got the most stunning-looking cockpits,” said the SHIFT producer.
”The engine for us, you know we’ve come a long way with it and there’s been lots of improvements, but we think it’s way above our previous titles.”
Need for Speed: SHIFT is different from other releases within the franchise as this iteration will focus intently on providing a racing simulator and not an arcade like experience. It’s being released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC sometime this year.
”We were quite chuffed when people were going ‘that’s blatantly a render, that’s definitely a render, there’s no way it’s in game’. It was like, well we know it is. None of our screen shots are edited in any way,” explained Wallace.
”If people out there think it’s a render and we know it’s in game, my boss was quite happy with that. That went down quite well!”
Does SHIFT look set to win beauty pageants? Are you looking forward to a simulator in the Need for Speed name?
