Need For Speed: SHIFT & SHIFT 2 Unleashed

[Peter Hooper]

fcuk. how long does that take?

Both myself and Robert purchased the all cars dlc, I picked up the one that also unlocked all events. Can't be arsed doing all that messing around trying to earn them, it would just take too long I think.

 

[Matthew Booth]

How much did all that cost Peter?

 

[Peter Hooper]

How much did all that cost Peter?

I picked up the game for about £7 and the dlc was £6.99 I think. Might grab the legends pack(s) too as this game has plenty of growing room while I wait to upgrade to next gen/PC

 

[Matthew Booth]

I shall keep an eye out for it then when go shopping or pick up a 2nd hand copy on Amazon.

 

[Karl Fuss]

sh!t. $14 for the game and $14.99 for the dl of all cars and all circuits...ah well... i haven't the time to unlock all the stuff.

 

[Matthew Booth]

Bang on. I could not agree more. (Michael's comment about E.A. also was so true). It's was very interesting early in the first GRID series that we used slower cars and street courses. I remember Boothy saying "you all are slow because you just need to downshift for that 90 degree turn, no brake!"). Now it dawns on me what he was trying to say (which is probably why he's so good at just being good at any racing game) -- Autosport involves aggressive sliding, aggressive attack of the apexes, and skill with the throttle.

Hey someone finally got it Why you think i went for the Atom around Abu Dhabi. You can slide the car about and put it where you want it to go. With F1 im alot more gentle mainly with the steering as it scrubs off speed through the corners. It takes about 15 laps to settle at a decent pace on a racing game. I used to beat my dad at F1 games when i was 9 and then their was the time at Xmas when i played V-Rally with my family and i was the only one who finished a stage with the camera over the nose. If you can ever hunt that down for PS1 it's epic fun shits on all the rally games ive played since

PS ive got literally none of your tags

 

[Karl Fuss]

[Karl Fuss]

[Michael Watts]

Karl, you can google which cars are GT1 for Shift 2 and there are some good sites. i found a Steam Site that goes into each car and its characteristics.

Check here Karl, this site has some useful info on the game including lists of all the cars and tracks... This link goes straight to the cars list:-

Not finding that myself Karl, maybe your internet is in the fritz...

All you really need to do is look at the title of the car. GT1 or GT3 will appear in the actual name of the car if it's in that class. Look at #7 & 8 for instance....

Shift2 International GT Series
February 7, 2014 @ 9pm GMT; 4pm EST U.S.
Williow Springs GP (Dusk)

_____________________________________​

The game is very inexpensive, around six quid. To participate you should download the DLC that unlocks ALL of the cars (not cars and tracks, but that's cheap too). It's very inexpensive, about six quid, and worth every penny. This can be avoided by buying the cars with game cash.

XBOX 360

Your host will be OctoberDusk06 and this race is open to all who wish to participate, whether a full time driver (given preference) or not. There are tunes for each car available here: http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/renown-tuning-unleashed-™.196236/

1. The first race will be in time attack mode with the Hardest A.I. filling out the field. The time will be set to "long" which is about 8 minutes on most tracks. Standing start and no restarts. The A.I. will not be included in the standings, but they are "part of the track" so to speak, so contact with them is never faulted. The finishing order of this race is the lineup (in order of finish), for the next race. Full points for this race.

2. The second race will be a standing start with a parade lap so that wheels can be fixed and we can get in the proper order from the first race. No A.I. The number of laps will be 25. Points will be as explained below with no points in either race for pole or fastest lap.

The scoring system is as follows:

Points System
Points: 1-25; 2-18; 3-15; 4-12; 5-10; 6-8; 7-6; 8-4; 9-2; 10-1
(Each Race scores points)

ALL RACES WILL BE ANNOUNCED IN THIS THREAD, WHICH WILL SERVE AS A CATCH ALL FOR THIS SERIES.

1:17.77X. Now I know I'm nowhere near Michael and his Maserati, but keep in mind we are running at Dusk. Post your best times when running then. Once I got the understeer under control, 4th gear reminded me of being able to control the car's angle similar to the carousel at Road America. Good stuff!

 

[Rob]

Actually Peter, I was able to find a few cars I can push. They are the cars that feel really stable using Robert's wheel settings. Obviously there are limitations with each track, but I was able to find that perfect medium and set some respectable lap times. But, yes I do find myself "rolling" the center of the corners more than I would in Grid, especially at Brands. I will probably focus on getting the cars to work on the ovals today and should be good fun.

That's a good description, except for the last roundabout at Willow. That reminds me of the Carousel at Road America. You can really use some slight looseness to your advantage, but you are playing with fire since this game is so finicky. I think you are right Mike, in that the wheel settings I have work better for different cars. It's generally acknowledged that the Maserati is the fastest just stock, but I like the feel of the Chevy (It shoudl be the fastest, considering all the series' and races it has dominated). The Aston is not bad either, but a little skittish for me. Truth be told, I chose the Chevy for the pure sound. lol. I may have to get my headphones plugged back in for this one. lol.

 

[Matthew Booth]

I shall sign up and see if can pick up a cheap copy somewhere as big fan of Willow Springs

 

[Michael Watts]

I will try and make this race as well. Hoping to get Force Feedback at the start. Robert, is there a chance we have a Parade Lap, That way us Fail-atec users can reset our wheel and restart in the back of the pack?

I was trying to get a feel for the track, there feels like there is more speed there if I could just get the tuning down. I WANTED to drive the Lambo, but I think the Masseratti suits my driving style better since I'm fairly aggressive on the throttle. I still have a couple of corners to Master at Willow Springs. I may get on later today as my Flight has been cancelled and rescheduled for early tomorrow due to Winter Storm Linus.
