It's these small margins which will make the difference between winning and losing, all in a very quick, rinse and repeat, racing package. Playing with your tire pressures, gear ratios and wing settings may give you that 1mph advantage over your rivals that you're looking for. The whole point of Standing Mile is to really focus on tuning and car building. Here's a shot of me taking the Twins Turbo Viper up past 250 mph at the new Miyatomi Standing Mile location. Trying to control 1400 bhp is a pretty wild ride! go to early and you will lose the car to wheel spin and will likely end up facing the wrong direction. Traction control and automatic transmission has been disabled for Standing Mile and you really have to work to launch the car cleanly.Ĭhoosing where to open up the throttle is part of the fun…. SMS has also gone to great lengths to include a whole new category of customization parts, allowing for the monster power figures needed to propel your speed demon to 250mph and beyond on three different one mile courses.
So instead of one lane, you get eight cars running in parallel, each competing for the fastest trap speed. When designing Standing Mile for S2U, we had to rejig the competition style to be suitable for online racing.
It's part of a new Downloadable package for SHIFT2 UNLEASHED that we've chosen to call the Speedhunters Pack. Mind you this is Standing Mile like you've never seen it before. The answer was pretty easy in the end: Standing Mile. I searched my brain for the answer, scanning the many thousands of Speedhunters stories for a new type of racing that would translate into a cool new game mode. 'Is there a new style of automotive competition that should be included in the game?' So at the beginning of the SHIFT2 UNLEASHED project a few of the producers asked me, 'what's new in the world of racing?' While I didn't have much to do with the overall vision for the game, it was interesting to note the inclusion of touge racing and drifting as a major part of the gameplay. The first Need for Speed game that I worked on personally, was the 2006 Need for Speed Carbon release. Drifting for example, was included in Need for Speed Underground as early as 2003, well before this new scene had developed the international following it enjoys today. If you look back on the history of Need for Speed games oVER recent years, we have always made a point to become early adoptors of new forms of racing.
