NFS Shift: Badges Sunday, 23.08.2009
NFS ShiftThe guys from GamerZines published another article which gives some insights into Need for Speed Shift: This time they talk about the Badges in the game.

Throughout the game you can collect several badges for certain objectives - similar to the Xbox360 Achievements-/PS3 Trophies- system. In NFS Shift are hundreds of badges available, divided into four categories: Track, Race, Career and Online. You can collect so-called "minor badges", which all add up to only a few major badges, which can be viewed from your opponents in your online profile:

To give you an example, there are ten Minor Badges to be earned in the ‘Trading Paint’ badge category. Earn all ten and you’ll win yourself the Trading Paint Master Badge, which is then displayed on your profile page for all the world to see.

NFS Shift: Nürburgring Video Friday, 21.08.2009
NFS ShiftGamersyde recorded a video of Need for Speed Shift showing a race at the Nürburgring in Germany!

The video was taken at the gamescom and unfortunately it doesn't have any sound - probably because of the constant noise at the convention. But for a screener it has a really good quality!

NFS Shift: Driver Profile Thursday, 20.08.2009
NFS ShiftAs in the previous articles the guys from GamerZines give us some insights in the upcoming Need for Speed Shift: this time it's the Driver Profile, a mechanic which tracks the player’s actions and helps shape their experience within the game’s Career mode.

Fahrerprofil 01The Driver Profile system is essentially a basic XP mechanic similar to what you may have seen in an RPG. As players race they are awarded points from two categories, Precision and Aggression, with the amount of each based on their on-track actions. You can be awarded points from a number of different areas. Drive cleanly by sticking to the racing line or making clean overtakes and you’ll earn Precision points. Alternatively, shunt cars off the track, block off opponents and generally drive aggressively and you’ll earn points for Aggression. You’ll also earn points from finishing the race, with the amount based on your final position.

Fahrerprofil 01As you earn points you’ll start to level up. There are 50 levels in total with each earning you bonus awards, including cash and car bonuses, special event invites, extra garage slots to store more cars, additional vinyls and other visual upgrades.
