I join in the congratulations. I ask those who lost not to be discouraged; contests will be coming in the near future, and for now, we're launching our favorite installments and starting to work on car airbrushing. For World special rules will be introduced, and a styling contest will be held more often for this installment! Now I'll get back to the news topic itself. Because many people, especially on the other side of the world, claimed that all my screenshots are crappy Photoshop. I made, or rather filmed, a video response. But judging by the comment received and a ton of PMs... They are more surprised by my amount of nitro and other bonuses... Over 39 levels, taking into account minimal spending - as it is - that much has accumulated. Hmm... Still, I'll leave all these nuances. And I'll show you the video.

Another comment:

A certain user expressed dissatisfaction with the World contest. I'm changing the rules. Send the video personally to me, don't post it publicly. As for the prize - I can only lift the veil of secrecy a little - this user will take an accelerated course in uncovering all sorts of tricks in the game :) Good luck!

Messieurs! On our forum the rules of a new contest have been published - "Styler Duels". The difference from the tuning contest is that you and your opponent face off. Everyone votes. One winner, one loser. Organizer - kekc.

On the site Amazon.com very interesting information has appeared regarding the new NFS, and a disc cover was shown. According to the data, the game release is planned for March 8, 2011. (EA did hint at a spring release) Moreover, a preview of Shift 2 has appeared in one of the German stores. It reveals that Shift 2 will have around 140 FIA GT1 and GT3 cars respectively, and prototypes are also promised. The preview also says that Shift 2 will feature night races, as well as the Suzuka Circuit track. Well, there is also bad news. In the game, you will only be able to race against 15 cars. Which makes a full simulation of the GT1 and GT3 seasons respectively impossible. (there are 20+ cars there) There is also information about some kind of "Elite" physics.
Whether this is true or not, we will find out in 3 months.

I'm continuing to experiment with this part. With the release of patch 5, there are practically no players left outside the track. The well-known bridge has emptied out... Although outside the track I met a trio of reckless drivers. Now you can get outside through the bus stop from Carbon City. So we drive, search and try :) The scheme is the same as before... The first person to find this spot and record the whole process on video will receive a prize. Be the first!

I also bring to your attention a non-standard game resolution. There was a bit of an argument with Nikos over who would make a wider screenshot. I think the argument is won :)

================================================== Nikos, your screenshot is ridiculous :D

Earlier I showed you the new cars in the "base". Now you have the opportunity to look at these crazy cars in the wild. I've attached a couple dozen screenshots below, while the entire gallery can be viewed by following the link.







Update

Soon the site will launch a leveling system in World. Alas, the system will not be free... But effective and fast. And most importantly, fair. Stay tuned for news :)
