EA has sent word of the all-new Exotic Racing Series pack for Need for Speed SHIFT which, come March 18th, will deliver access to seven new cars and a new track in the game. So, “What makes it so exotic?” you ask…Well, highlighting this exclusive pack of cars are the McLaren MP4-12C and the legendary BMW M1 and according to EA, players won’t find more brilliance, innovation, or drama than in these magnificent machines, each being a “potent mix of race car and road car.”
The Exotic Racing Series pack will be available worldwide on the PS3 for $10.00 or the 360 for 800 Microsoft Points. You can check out a TON of new photos featuring the new content right here.
In addition, over 50 new events have also been created specifically for these cars including time challenges, endurance and sprint races. The challenging and spectacular new Riviera track boasts four unique layouts, each with daring corners, multiple blazing straight-aways and a few hairpins that will push these cars to the limit. Players that complete the package will receive an additional 125 Microsoft gamerpoints or 5 PlayStation Trophies as a reward for undertaking various exciting challenges.
The Exotic Racing Series pack cars include:
1. Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione
2. BMW M1 Procar
3. GUMPERT apollo
4. Honda NSX
5. McLaren MP4-12C
6. Maserati GranTurismo S
7. Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Stirling Moss
The four new tracks are two short and two long variations in the same locale, heavily inspired by street race tracks like Monaco and Macau.
The cars are pretty great - my favourites, after my brief test, probably being the Stirling Moss (love that car, handles great, and it's the first open roof car in Shift, isn't it? The sky was all nice and blue when I took it around Brands Hatch
), the Gumpert Apollo, the Maserati and the old BMW.
I havent played shift so i am unsure of how it will be... The whole DLC fad is getting to me though i saw that nfs dlc up on Australian psn for 15$.. I cant judge it this is just a DLC rant in general.
I want games to come out with ALL this in them already if that means waiting longer i don't care its a better game for it... Shift came out barely a year after the last NFS that is horrible... NFS shift costs 80$ here still + dlc thats 100$ it just keeps going up guess you DON'T have to buy it, but I would rather they push the dlc at a lower price or put it in the full game... This goes for all dlc... To think about
GT has been 5 years in development 5 NFS games have come out since then I think. It shows who is half assed and pushes up their revenue from pumping out dlc... who knows gt might do the same but hearing from the leader he doesn't want to do that.
