"EA hopes will help the game stand out, with the goal being to shape how other drivers perceive you" uh, SSX Tricky?

SSX, now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

If the Driver Profile system works well, you can expect all the other drivers to swerve away from me in fear at every corner. Erratic driving FTW.

3 racing sims in a single generation would be overkill to some, here we have 3 coming out this year
Why?

Please don't include NFS games in the sim genre, thank you.

Shift is looking like what Pro Street should have been. I was excited for Pro Street when it was first announced and then I played a demo and instantly despised it.
I'm cautious about Shift, but it looks like EA is righting its wrongs. But I'll still wait on people's opinions before running out to the nearest Best Buy or something.

Fear my ability to drive your car into the wall, using your wreckage to guide me cleanly around the turn!

Maybe a Need for Speed worth getting. Not getting my hoops up though.

I like the new graphics and everything theyve done with it
Looks a lot better now. Hopefully they took the bad acting out too.
Still not as good as Need For Speed: Pure Green

Scientifically speaking, there is no way this game will be as good as Grid.

I'm going to have to disagree, I thought it handled great.

I just picked up a 360 Racing Wheel and started Grid and Dirt's career over. I'm having a blast! I love those games and the wheel! I'll be picking up Dirt 2 and Forza 3 this year for sure.

oh man i had some great times in Hot Pursuit 2. me and my friend would run around this one track for forever in multiplayer (ps2). there was another track with a tree trunk that crossed above the track, and if you slid just right off the hill before it, you could jump the tree. good times.

Looks like they're trying a little too hard to combat Forza 3...which kinda sucks, cause Need for Speed always had that more arcady/unrealistic feel to it, and didnt take itself as seriously as a racer as Forza did, like Burnout.

For-za? Never heard of it.
There are some rumors floating around that GT 5 may still be announced at TGS. *fingers crossed*

Because sarcasm is so hard to understand on the interwebz, I hope you're joking about not hearing about the Forza franchise.
Anyways, GT5 was announced way back in 2006 buddy. Welcome to the future McFly.

hmm... I've never cared much for NFS before, but this one looks like it could be a decent amount of fun!

Looks great so far. This and Forza are gonna be monsters...

I don't know, looks kinda cool. For some reason seeing the wrecking stuff brought back glorious childhood memories of that Nascar Racers cartoon that use to come on Fox.

Interesting. It would be neat if you could ban certain driver types from joining your online game (i.e. wreckers).

This looks pretty interesting... More so than Pro Street. My favourite NFS has and always will be (unless something new comes along and beats it) Most Wanted. Got it for PC, PSP, and PS2 (running on my PS3). Loved that game! And, yes, please developers, bring back more A to B races, along with out-running the cops... Guess I'm going to have to go pull out NFSMW and Underground2 for a bit of a drive.

I agree w/you 100%.
My favorites were also Most Wanted and Underground 2. I don't really care for sim racers, so I'm rather saddened to see NFS franchise going this route.

THANK GOD BLACKBOX STUDIO WAS DEAD! BLACKBOX STUDIO ALWAYS RUINED NFS SERIES! NOW NEW STUDIO MADE THIS GAME LOOK BETTER THAN NFS PRO STREET!
REMIND OF EVERYONE, NFS PRO STREET WAS MADE BY BLACKBOX STUDIO. THIS GAME IS NOT MADE BY BLACKBOX STUDIO, IS THAT CRYSTAL CLEAR? THEN LET THE POSITIVES TALK UNTIL THIS GAME COME OUT.

I have to say EA is really stepping it up with the 09-10 sports editions. It'll be hard to balance Gran Turismo and this title together. I'm really draw to this for the sheer "action" it will package into the whole in-car view which I'm essatic to see.

I'm afraid to say this, but DamN! that looks fine! They look like they stepped up the game a lot from Shift.
Although, because you've left bitter tastes in my mouth from previous games, im gonna have to rent this first...

*Waits for the inevitable: "GAWKER did it before you guys, DURR DURR DURR" comment*
Who cares if kotaku did it before joystiq? I read both because they provide unique insights. and lets face it the Joystiq vs Kotaku community war is just hilarious.
regardless, I can't wait to try this one out, I'm not really a fan of racing sims though. I am interested to see, however, Need for Speed: burnout, (basically Burnout paradise with more customization than you can shake a fist at is what I'm hoping to see)
