A review has been published of the newly released Need For Speed Hot Pursuit. READ AND RATE.

Today, after the game update, I found something interesting in the CARS folder, namely that the following cars will soon appear in the game:

-Nissan Skyline 2000 GT-R
-BMW M3 E46
-BMW M3 GTR E46
-Porsche 959
-Porsche Carrera Turbo S
-Lotus Exige
-Mazda MX5
-Porsche Panamera
-Audi RS4
-Nissan Skyline GT-R R34
-Nissan GT-R Spec.V
-Audi TT RS

  • a folder named CONSS10(what is this??)

In the meantime, let's wait for an official response from the NFS World developers.

Finally, a description of the new patch for NFS World has appeared online.

New features:
1) New performance tuning system: Each player can install individual parts on their car.
2) Durability and insurance: Cars will finally take damage and break down (author's note: hmm... will there really be something like NFS PS?). If a car's durability reaches 0%, the installed parts will no longer affect the car's stats. Durability loss can be temporarily prevented by buying insurance in the garage.
3) Booster packs can now be purchased.
4) Hot Pursuit Cross-Promotion: Everyone who purchased Need for Speed Hot Pursuit will receive an Audi R8 free for 3 days and exclusive police vinyls. The purchaser must use the same EA account to play Need for Speed World and Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. To receive the reward, you must log in to your EA account and enter the special Need for Speed Hot Pursuit code.
5) Audi R8 ‘Royal Purple’, Dodge Charger and Subaru Impreza have been added to the game. As a bonus, a bonus part is installed on each car to increase the car's performance.
6) Power-up "Shield" has been updated; it can now be used to remove the "Magnet" effect.
7) Various interface changes in the game.

Fixes:
1)Fixed a bug with incorrect display of player status (online/offline)
2)More than 150 various bugs have also been fixed.

Patch size is 1 GB.(!)

After the first teaser, which appeared earlier today, EA & Slightly Mad Studios showed a preview and revealed a little about Need For Speed Shift 2 Unleashed.

The sequel to Shift will include the official FIA GT license, specifically the game will feature cars from the GT1 and GT3 series as part of the career.

The sequel also has several innovations such as: night races and a helmet camera view (something similar was in GTR Evolution on formula cars). The release of Need for Speed Shift 2 Unleashed is planned for spring 2011.

The screenshots below show cars from the FIA GT1 series, new cars (Ford Mustang and Mazda FC3S in strange tuning). In addition, two new tracks are shown:nighttime Shanghai and the Australian track Bathurst.
