VirtualR sais:

"In the coming weeks, EA will be releasing previews of every single car on the lineup, including shots of the cockpits, giving everyone the chance to check out their favorite car."

 

[GT - R]

It does look good

Haven't played Undercover; but I enjoyed Pro Street despite it having a few flaws.

Hope this is as good as it looks; no crappy cars either.

 

[xecutioner]

im hoping EA can come out with a better NFS racing game this time around

 

[Reckoning]

KPGC10 Skyline GT-R *swoon*

+1

And it looks like an enjoyable game.

Not necessarily realistic, just pure good old fashioned fun.

This game needs a monster rig.

No, that's not the Nurburgring... may be a kind of fake re-creation though.

Also, at that Gallardo.

thats not heavy requirements... everybody got dual cores nowadays.. and that doesnt look like some nurburgring wannabe.. looks just a like a normal track with a fancy stone house thing up on a hill <.>

If I've learned anything from PC gaming it's that "recommended" requirements are more along the lines of "minimum".

Also remember that sim racers generally have less powerful rigs on the whole.

 

[Smurfen]

agreed and agreed.you win

New VW Scirocco shots:

Very cool. Looks like we'll be able to drive completely stock cars after all.

 

[tranceporter]

Field of view from the cockpit looks very good. You can see half of the driver side window!

Ch'yeah, unlike Forza 3 lol. What with all the kinetic stuff Shift's cockpit view should be unrivaled.

I'm almost more excited for Shift. I know Forza's going to be a great game, but Shift is an unknown entity right now.

pps Koenigsegg

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Whats with the Tach inside the steering wheel on the Zonda? Beyond weird.

 

[Donington]

I'll be honest this is actually looking rather promising...


...Then again, they all sort of do until you play them. But I have a feeling this one might be good. PLEASE let it be good!

 

[LeMans GTR]

^ If this pulls this kind've visuals, I wonder what GT5 will accomplish.

New "driver profile" trailer here

Looking good.

Looks way too arcadey. Like the cars are floating on clouds or something. Where's the physics?

 

[MadCat360]

Looks way more visceral than Gran Tursmo and Forza to me.

Megane RS:

Cool.
