| NFS Community-Podcast #3 |
Wednesday, 21.10.2009 |
The third Need for Speed Community-Podcast was released on NeedforSpeed.com, where Andrew and Drew talk about NFS breaking the 100 million units barrier and the currently running Youtube Challenge and a Formula D event.
At the end they talked about the upcoming patch for Need for Speed Shift, which is currently in the works by the Slightly Mad Studios. A vague estimate would be that the patch could be available in the mid of November, but don't take this for granted. Among some bugfixes (like the framerate issues on PS3) the patch will feature an improvement for the onlinemode: instead of 8 players it will be possible that up to 12 players can race against each other.

The latest title, Need for Speed Shift pushes the franchise over the 100M mark, making it the best-selling racing brand in the gaming world. With Need for Speed EA didn't focus on consistency, rather than on innovation. Just with the latest NFS Shift the series makes a turn to realistic racing, while in previous titles the NFS games were known for innovations like Autosculpt, street racing, customizations, tuning, vinyls and much more.

- If Need for Speed boxes were laid out end-to-end, it would span 173,609 football fields
