Are You Ready To Race With Your Friends?

Are You Ready To Race With Your Friends?

The best part? IT'S FREE!

Written by Kirsco on 21 November 09 at 06:27

Come December 1st, Need For Speed: Shift will have a free update available for download, via Xbox LIVE. The update will bring a new Team Racing mode and five new vehicles.

For those of you more interested in the cars, than the racing, here are the details:
1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 427
1967 Shelby GT-500
1969 Dodge Charger R/T
1971 Dodge Challenger R/T
1998 Toyota Supra Mark IV

... Yeah, that means nothing to me.

The new racing mode allows you to race in a team of up to six players and will involve a bit more strategy than just being the first over the line.

The update will also be available for the Playstation 3. Unlike the Xbox's simultaneous worldwide release on December 1st, it will hit PSN on December 3rd in Europe and December 10th for the North America.

I could really get used to more free DLC, even if it's something I'm really not into. It's starting to get annoying that some games have DLC for 800-1600 MS, a week after the game is out.

I agree silencer, it's certainly nice to see something like this for free.

i might have 1000G in SHIFT by then, so hopefully i won't need to download this unless theres achieves involved :P

I agree, it's always good to see something for free.

Yeah free DLC is always good. Ive never had a good go at the online on NFS shift ive only been online for 3 or 4 races. Reason being that it just doesnt interest me and there arent any online achievements

Since its free there will be no new achievements. Microsoft makes them put a price on DLC if there is achievements.

So does Bioshock, but those were all released before MS started that policy.

I like this trend of free DLC. Hopefully MS doesn't squash it... :(

This is nice..something for free again..rare these days. ;-)

But i would like it better if it was for Forza 3 as its a better racing game. NFS is dead to me and have been since after Hot Pursuit 2. Before that, i only loved NFS 1,2 and 3.

@PrfNutbutter

I actually enjoyed playing the RE5 versus mode, though you can't deny that was a hellaciously fast download...

...because it was already on the disc. The "download" was just a key that unlocked the mode.
