There are a lot of changes as Need for Speed: Shift arrives in stores this September. First off, the developer has changed from Black Box to simulation specialists Slightly Mad Studios, secondly its being released in September, much earlier than what is the norm for the series (November is usually when it releases). Perhaps both these moves are enough to reinvigorate a racing series that has lost most of its forward momentum these last few years. Check out the new screens below.
