This is real racing…

Authenticity and realism are the buzz words surrounding the new developer diary which EA has released for forthcoming racing sequel Shift 2 Unleashed.

The latest video switches almost seamlessly between real-life racing action and stunningly realistic game footage. The development team, Slightly Mad Studios, are featured alongside professional racing drivers discussing how they have worked together to ensure that the follow up to smash hit title, Need for Speed: SHIFT, is as realistic as possible. Take a peek at some “real racing”:

The visual candy does not end there. Several screenshots have also been released, showcasing four of the cars which feature in the game.

I've never been big into racing games, but this actually looks really good. Anyone have any recommendations on a game that is out now to get into the genre?

i love my racing games and Shift 1 was really fun to play , unlike the slog fest that is Forza ..
For those that may have only played Need for speeds other game , the hot pursuit games ... its nothing like those .

For once, I was actually impressed with a racing game trailer that is from NFS.
I feel like I have to get it... facepalm

I don't like CoD.. laugh Halo is well better wink
But anyhoo yea they both are awesome games! Forza is a must get if you have a racing wheel also

The helmet cam is a huge leap forward. I've always hated driving from the cockpit view while drifting, but this will definitely add to the experience. The night racing will be awesome, there's just no other words to describe it. Forza had better come up with something 10x better than what they put into their last 2 games if they want to stay on top.

Both amazing, you'll find a lot of people compare the two like Halo and CoD laugh
I don't like CoD.. laugh Halo is well better wink
But anyhoo yea they both are awesome games! Forza is a must get if you have a racing wheel also
I don't like CoD either, it's horrible, Halo definitely, but point being... laugh
That's just it though, a lot of my friends compare the two like CoD and Halo, always ranting on over which is the better racer, well I don't think either is better than the other, they're both amazing.
Both games play differently, and both have a damn good list of cars, tracks and racing capabilities, I had both, and loved both =]
