Damn, this is getting hard to remember, lol.

If you have the right cars, then yes. For some strange reason I am a magnet to Tier 1 cars. Do you really need to have a higher Tier car in the game? All I have is 1 American, Japanese and European car.

And How the Hell do you drift? I have never really done a proper drift. The only reason why I score is because I spin on the grass. Is that called drifting?

This game gets better and better... and even more annoying at the same time.

I just found out how Nitrous works in this game. No flames and crazy speed, but it feels like you are being pulled forward and the rev just go up a bit quicker. That came in handy when racing a R34 in a Focus ST online. Hit the square button to unleash the Nitrous. I'd be like 'Duratec just kicked in, y0!'

Now for the annoying part. There is a weird bug when your car appears invisible online. I never knew you could drive ghost cars.

Also When you put a Turbo in a tC, your ears get raped. gear 1, BRRRRR, gear 2, BRRRRRRRR, and so on. The rev counter keep on going to the red line within a split second. To get rid of it, I had to loose 40bhp.

Anyway, those are minor probs. The game is still great fun!

Quote from DevilDare :

Can't believe anyone did....

Yeah, I was able to get up quickly.

Did anyone notice flashing images?

I love SHIFT on the PS3. It is the best nfs since... Underground 2! I love the graphics and sense of speed. OK, the frame-rate can get quite low, and the chase view isn't all good, but I don't care! It is a huge amount of fun!

My two starter cars:

So far, 9.5/10.

Woo, I still can't wait for this game. Just tomorrow....

I raced in that Mcrae challenge. I thought the Escort mkII was going to be a slow old school rally car, but I was wrong! I think it is the fastest rally car, and the hardest to control, as it is RWD. If you take a corner too fast, you need to counter steer it to get it back on track. Spoiler below...

The 1995 Impreza is unlocked after you complete the challenge. That is another fast rally car. Seems like the older rally cars are faster than the new ones!

Don't mind If I do.

Quote from Gills4life :

Someone on my xfire is claiming that by playing on his server you are in with a chance of winning a free PS4.

O rly? I just got one. It came with Live for speed S3 final and GT6.

:wow: lfs better watch out now...

I'm guessing you haven't seen the latest racing games? (DiRT 2, SHIFT, Forza and GT5)

Now try comparing screen shots of those games to flatout.

edit: are you talking about GTA4, or games in general?

Eeek, haven't done a screenie for a while now. Oh well, here is one.

I am lovin' this game! I just had an online Rally-Cross race, I blew my ice-cream truck horn, and the two cars infront spin out, allowing me to win!

I hope SHIFT has a Ice-cream truck horn.

Quote from Shadowww :

Yes. By the way, what's point in your post?

To show I wasn't interested in this. How will I benefit from this so-called 'news?'

Edit: I know old news are old but still they were not posted here :P

Um.... cool?

Quote from Shadowww :

I stopped reading right at this point.

The term 'race' is so last year.

I liked that article. A nearly stock AE86 transformed into a JGTC look-a-like. Go EA + SMS. I think they have set the new benchmark for the title. Well, maybe.

Quote from piggy501 :

Alright, own up, WHO VOTED FIFTH GEAR OVER TOP GEAR?!

LOL, they probably mis-clicked. If they really picked fifth Gear over Top Gear, then God help them.

After 3 years, Looks like EA finally got a NFS game right!

That is an in-game shot of ProStreet, and the XRT looks like a normal one anyway.
