Need for Speed Shift 2 – New Gameplay Video

Following the new video trailer released earlier today, new gameplay footage of Slightly Mad Studios’ Need for Speed Shift 2 has surfaced.

Filmed at the Detroit Auto Show, the video below shows some racing action from cockpit view including a spin. It’s unknown which driving assists have been used, exhibition demos like this one rarely allow to drive without any assists though.

Need for Speed Shift 2 Unleashed will include the 2010 FIA GT1 World Championship & GT3 European Championship among lots of other racing content, new features include a new helmet camera, night racing and more realistic physics. The second Shift title will be available for the PC, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3 in late March.

Other: SBK 2011 Hands On.

A quick couple of laps on Black Bean’s forthcoming SBK 2011, these are using the full simulation model and as ever will take some time to master. The handling is still being refined but coming along nicely, always room for improvement but this looks to be on course as the best 2 wheel experience on console.
