blur1 Motion Blur in Need For Speed: Shift

Much has been made of Need For Speed: Shift’s ‘Driver Experience’, which attempts to make the player feel just like they’re behind the wheel of a real racing car.

One of the ways in which the game achieves this is through the use of motion blur to simulate the effects of G-Force. As you can see in the screen above, upon reaching the higher speeds much of your display blurs out, including the cockpit, rear view mirror, your peripheral vision and other cars near to you, leaving only a small window completely in focus. EA reckon that this allows you to concentrate your attention on the track ahead and the whereabouts of rivals in the distance.

And when you’re racing along at 200km/h, that’s ultimately all that matters. Click the screens for a closer look.

    I don’t see the point of upgrading your pc with nice graphix cards to get the best posable gaming you can hence no droped frames or screen blur, and then they go and put it in the game, just as well bought a cheep graphix card and squint.

    I own all previous titles, but if the speed blur can’t be turned off i won’t be buying it. Your right Prince the speed blur in the last game spoiled the whole game. Rubish idea, lazy programming or a bug in their engine being covered up?
