Need For Speed news

Codemasters has released a batch of additional content for its racing title Race Driver: GRID on Xbox Live Marketplace and PlayStation Network.

The 8 Ball Pack adds eight new cars to the game: McLaren F1 GTR, TVR Cerbera Speed 12, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, Honda S2000, Nissan GT-R, VW Nardo, Pontiac Firebird Trans AM and Volvo C30.

In addition to the new cars, the pack includes two new multiplayer events (but on existing tracks – no new tracks will be added). On Xbox 360, the bundle will also include four new achievements: Jack of All Trades, Drift Master, Gas Guzzler and Clean Passing.

The 8 Ball Pack costs 800 Microsoft Points on XBLM or $9.99 on PSN. The add-on will appear on PC later.

This time, the official needforspeed.com blog has posted a video and some information about another track featured in NFS Shift – Willow Springs (Willow Springs).

It is located in California and is one of the oldest in the game – a long-awaited track for any player wanting to see hard racing. Over the years, the track Willow Springs has found a place in the hearts of many motorsport enthusiasts, and a large group of them successfully ran a campaign that resulted in the addition of Willow Springs to the list of California Points of Historical Interest in 1996.

If you want to learn more about Willow Springs, then watch the driving experience video Chris Rado and find out exactly why his Scion holds one of the records at this track. You can watch it here.

On the official websites of the composers Mark Morgan (Mark Morgan) and Mick Gordon (Mick Gordon) information has appeared about their involvement in working on the soundtrack for Need For Speed Shift. Mark Morgan is known for his soundtrack to the cult RPG Planetscape: Torment and the first two installments of the equally cult Fallout. Mick Gordon is currently also busy writing the soundtrack for the slasher Edge Of Twilight. In addition, judging by the videos posted on his website, excerpts of his compositions appeared in many trailers for the game.

Chapai and I discussed it and decided that the site needs a GME section to get work on advertising on the site moving. To open the section to public view, the following is needed -

>> Post the already written GME article there
>> Create a sufficient number of concepts
>> Create at least 10 spectacular or simply interesting screenshots
>> Write a GME FAQ so that no one bothers the leaders with mundane questions.

This is only the minimum that needs to be done; in the future it would be desirable to edit several videos. Write information about the team, that is, post EVERYTHING that might interest users, and they will most likely be interested in a lot ,so the number of questions needs to be kept to a minimum.
You can see the section in the site menu, above the "site modders" item. For now the section is in development, so don't be surprised by its current, simply laughable appearance. Specifically for the development of this section, Chapai was given moderator rights.

You can make your suggestions in the comments to the section.

This section and the news item are visible only to team members, do not write about this news anywhere, users do not need to know about this venture of ours for now, let it be a surprise. Besides, no one will like our "intermediate stages".
