There will be a demo after all! It became known today that the demo version Need For Speed Shift will appear in late September - early October. It will feature 2 tracks (London and Spa-Francorchamps) and four cars ( Dodge Viper, Lotus, BMW M3 and Nissan R35). Well, if you manage to earn all 10 awards (out of ~300 the demo will feature only 10), then the fifth car will also become available to you - Pagani Zonda.

Basically, this information first surfaced back last month - a mention of head tracking technology appeared in the feature list for Gran Turismo 5 on the game's official website. However, the fact went almost unnoticed by most publications.

The point is that the PS Eye camera will track the player's head position, automatically changing the viewing angle. To better understand how the technology works, we recommend watching the following video.

This technology will be active only in cockpit view; the player will be able to significantly expand their field of view, literally "peeking around corners" and watching rivals on the track.

The PS Eye camera costs less today than a new PS3 game, but the accessory is not popular. This is due to the lack of support from game developers. Perhaps not only EyePet but also Gran Turismo 5 will help popularize the PS Eye.
