Friday, 25.03.2011 |
 Finally, next week the Team Escape mode for Need for Speed World will be released! In this new co-op game mode you can take on the cops together with your friends and try to escaoe using teamwork.
We announced the Team Escape mode already in Summer 2010 in our  Feature Preview of NFS World. During this event with EA we were able to shoot two videos, which give you a short impression of the new game modes. But keep in mind that these recordings are over half a year old, so there could be more improvements implemented.

| Shift 2 Unleashed Soundtrack as an emotional Journey |
Thursday, 24.03.2011 |
In addition to our last newspost about the Soundtrack of Shift 2 Unleashed, we want to go more into detail of the composition of the soundtrack and its composers.
The few songs (see below), that have been announced, were re-mixed into different variations to create a completely new style of soundtrack that uses sonic themes to engage the player and represent the driver's battle. Each composer was tasked with using the emotional themes of the game to create a cinema-level score.
"This is a totally unique approach to videogame scores," said Steve Schnur, Worldwide Executive of Music and Marketing for EA. "We’ve brought together some of the most cutting-edge composers from various film, TV, trailer and gaming backgrounds in entertainment to re-imagine the music of ten absolutely distinctive bands and sonically encapsulate the driver’s emotional journey."
EA got Ramin Djawadi on board, who might be best known for his Grammy-nominated score for Iron Man, but he did also the music for Clash of the Titans, Prison Break and the videogame Medal Of Honor 2010.
Along with Djawadi the British Academy Award winner Troels Folmann, a film, trailer and game composer, can chip in with his knowledge and experience of scoring hundreds of film trailers and TV promos.
Additionally the Heavy Melody Music, whose team has created original music for Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, Stephen Baysted, who has scored numerous racing games including NFS Shift and Mick Gordon, the AudioGang award-winning composer behind NFS World and NFS Shift are working on the Shift 2 Unleashed soundtrack as well.
Below you can find again the list of the songs, that were the basis for the soundtrack in Shift 2:
30 Seconds to Mars - Night of the Hunter
Anberlin - We Owe This To Ourselves
Biffy Clyro - Mountains
The Bravery - Ours
Escape The Fate - Issues
Hollywood Undead - Levitate
Jimmy Eat World - Action Needs An Audience
Rise Against - Help Is On The Way
Stone Temple Pilots - Take A Load Off
Switchfoot - The Sound (John M. Perkins Blues)

Usually, when you start your career in SHIFT 2 Unleashed, you'll have around $20,000 to spend on your first car. When you pre-order the Limited Edition of SHIFT 2 Unleashed, you'll already have the three cars mentioned on the pre-order page, and when you activate Online Pass, you'll get an additional $10,000 for tuning one of your cars, bringing the total package to $30,000 in-game cash as well as double XP for the first 24 hours you own the game, just for pre-ordering.
