Electronic Arts Details Need For Speed: Shift’s Drift Mode
Today, Electronic Arts detailed the Drift mode for its upcoming title, Need For Speed: Shift, in which players are required to toggle the brakes while constantly adjusting the steering to maintain drifts through the corner – exactly like the drifters in real life. Details are as follow:
- Need for Speed: Shift delivers the most authentic drift experience ever seen in a video game
- World champion drifter Vaughn Gittin Jr. put in over 100 hours with SMS to ensure accuracy and realism
- Players will be required to toggle the throttle and brakes while constantly adjusting the steering to maintain drifts through the corner – exactly like drifters in real life

- Vehicle set-up (horsepower, suspension etc.) dramatically impacts a player’s technique and overall style
- Driver profile extends to drift
- As in all racing, setting the right line is critical. Clipping points are set on the track to ensure the player achieves the perfect line and maximizes profile points
- Drift related badges
- Accessibility is key
- Entry level players can use the amateur setting to help them learn the basics of drifting and ramp up the difficulty as they progress
- Conversely, experienced drivers can use the pro setting and experience the most realistic drift experience ever in a video game.
