The new Need for Speed Shift is currently in development and will be released at the end 2009. NFS-Planet visited the Slightly Mad Studios in London and got some impressions of the upcoming racing game. Read here about what you can expect in Need for Speed Shift:
Barely 73 days have passed since the release of Need for Speed Undercover, and EA already announced its successor Shift? What, at first glance, looks like some kind of hasty panic reaction due to Undercover's rather moderate critiques, turns out to be a long-planned, in the NFS universe independent racing simulation.
"Change" was a certain guy's main slogan for his election campaign – it seems like the developers from Slightly Mad Studios have taken the same motto to heart: New concept, new engine, new driving physics – Shift shares with previous Need for Speed titles just little more than the name. Speaking of name: “Shift” could certainly refer to shifting gears, but in this case, a meaning like "change" seems more appropriate.
But what was actually presented on screen? Probably the most convincing graphical presentation of a NFS title for a long time. Talking of beautifully shaped cars, authentically modeled race tracks, great lighting effects, and even little details like 3D animated, flag-waving spectators standing close to the track, or car bodies showing the exact reflections of near video screens – Shift is graphically not only outstanding within the Need for Speed series, but can also keep up with the whole racing game genre.
Another nice thing is the built-in tunnel vision which handicaps your cognition at high speed. Using Motion Blur, the vision becomes relatively to your pace more and more blurred, only the center of the screen remains reasonably sharp. As a result, recognizing the speedometer or even rivals in the mirrors doesn't get easier as well.
These effects are also to bear in case of accidents: Getting in touch with the guard rail causes the cockpit camera to shake, the vision becomes blurred, and thereby, you go practically blind for a moment. On a city course, you might have some trouble getting the next corner in this condition.
Unfortunately, we couldn't experience such situations in 3rd person view (yet), but this camera makes it easier to recognize dents and dints on your car and details like heating and cooling brake discs respectively. Backing the feeling of being in the thick of the race caused by good camera work, all information given on the HUD like lap time, position etc. is not static but moving according to the G-forces affecting the car.
The list features 65 beautifully modelled cars from a wide range of worldwide manufacturers. Fans of the S2000 and Civics will be pleased to note the return of Honda while Nissan are fantastically represented with the likes of the R35 and the classic tuner car the S14 and the S15. The game also showcases a wide spectrum of seminal performance machines including classic cars like the 1972 Nissan Skyline 2000GT-R, renowned tuners like the 1995 Mazda RX-7, and ultra-exclusive exotic cars like the 2007 Lamborghini Reventón.
This game will release as soon as at the end 2009.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - It's strange that out of the computer virus that began to show at this time because the super jumbo size. How not, a file carry big enough and not reasonable for the size of a virus that is around 30.426 KB aka 30 MB, so if it's worth identifying themselves with the name Mahadewa.
You can imagine if the virus has the size of 1 MB more than the need for a long time mengkopikan itself into the computer system that becomes the target. Distribution process will be hampered. Usually the computer virus has the slim size of approximately 22 kb to 1 MB. The small size of the file the virus, the virus that are required by small to menginfeksi time and more quickly so that the distribution of automatically spreading akan easier and widespread.
Therefore, it requires people who have thought "quite" different and dare to infiltrate grip than usual in which to apply the same grip that small is wonderful. Creator is a virus that prefers big is beautiful.
However, the terrible, according to the observation Vaksincom, a local security company in Jakarta, the virus had spread Mahadewa to the level of infection is quite high although not yet to become Top 10 virus in Indonesia. Norman Security Suite, which is used Vaksincom, detects the virus as Mahadewa VBS.Autorun.AM
Although made from the language at the simple VBScript (vbs], virus attack has a power that is not lost with the virus that is made with Visual Basic. Sinyalir in this virus is made by one of the students from UBL (Universitas Budi Luhur) or if not at least see if simpatisannya from the script and the impression left by the virus.
The same as the file is created using the Visual Basic language program, so that in itself can activate it requires the support of the file wscript.exe. At the time he himself will be actively trying to create some of the following files as a parent to be run first when the computer is switched on. Individual C:-Windows-system32-WinXp.vbs and C:-MaHaDeWa.dll.vbs and in each drive.
To ensure that the self can be activated automatically every time you start the computer, it will create a string in the registry. In addition to the registry to create the string, so that itself can be activated automatically when the user access or Flash Disk Drive in another computer, it will also take advantage of Windows autoplay feature by creating the file autorun.inf file which will automatically run the file MaHaDeWa.dll.vbs without the need to run the file. This autorun.inf file will be created in every drive, including the Flash Disk.
In fact what the purpose of the virus to make this VM if we are unloading the contents of the script file MaHaDeWa.dll.vbs very clear that he (vbs / Autorun.AM) has a goal that both will try to restore the registry that has been in the random-random by a similar virus that is Nita.dll.vbs. Or between MaHaDeWa and Nita has a special relationship because if we see the string that is created will form the words N Love You Forever, only they both know that.
Vbs / Autorun.AM akan do not block the functions of the Windows security or vice versa, but it will try to restore the function, such as Windows regedit / Task Manager / Folder Options. Unfortunately there are some strings that would make the "System Restore" will not work.
So that what has been done by the VM continues dikenang, he akan menorehkan some impression on the target computer, such as Internet Explorer Header change / alter the main Internet Explorer / rename the target computer or display the messages from the VM before the user logged in Windows.
Flash Disk is still used as an alternative to be used by vbs / Autorun.AM to spread itself by creating 2 pieces yaknis autorun.inf file and MaHaDeWa.dll.vbs. File autourun.inf is also meant to be active itself automatically when the user access to the Flash Disk is.
The feature-Mahadewa include:
Title 1.Merubah Internet Explorer becomes MaHaDeWa Labkom UBL
2. Changing the Internet Explorer start page to be http://webkom
3. Changing the computer name and the name of the owner of Windows
a. RegisteredOrganization = Your computer has been clean from Viruses by Nita
MaHaDeWa
b. RegisteredOwner = MaHaDeWa
4. Walpaper Windows Update.
