But to really take things to a deeper level and get absolute verification of the in-game race experience we hooked them up with a few of our driving crew. The Slightly Mad Studios crew are pretty hardcore car nuts and collectively have a lot of experience of taking high powered cars to track day events. Speedhunters and Need for Speed are involved with the careers of several different racing driver and drifters, so we decided to get them involved with the game production itself. So to make sure we nailed down both the physics and our new helmet-cam feature we turned to the experts. Let's face it, motorsports is dangerous and dirty and this is the direction the team chose to take. We figure that driving a powerful car should be more than just a mathematical simulation, it has to be violent and frightening. Every single nuance of the real life experience has been lovingly recreated for you. This quite literally puts you in the seat of a race car, whether you've built up your hot hatch in to a full spec silhouette racer or you are piloting an FIA GT1 machine. So we've created a totally new way of racing in a video game: Helmet-cam. We've pushed ourselves to replicate the first person, human sensory experience of driving powerful race, time attack and drift cars. Now the whole focus of the SHIFT2 UNLEASHED experience is quite a lot different than the offerings from Forza and GT. And not only that I'm feeling quite bullish that we've pushed the genre to the next level. So I'm quite pleased to let you know that Shift2 is quite firmly focused as a sim racer. And it appears that while most of you are excited by what I showcased in the article, you wanted to know more about the physics and our approach for this game. So after I showcased for you the in-game AE86 and the host of wheels available for it, I was quite interested to read your feedback. The feel of the game thus ended somewhere between both of these types of video game racing types.
Shift1 was definitely trying to please both the traditional Need for Speed arcade racers as well as sim racing fans. Now one pattern that I picked up at the end of the Shift1 project was your viewpoint in regards to the physics experience of the game. It's a skill that has allowed me to carve out a bit of a career as a creative director and has served me well over the years. One thing that really interests me is the process of recognizing patterns, especially trends and collective opinions.
