00:30Man, finish your damn donut, then I'm taking you to a shrink
00:33It gives the player the ability to manipulate traffic and teamwork
00:36To play with things like a kid playing with toy cars
00:40And this is the kind of thing that we reward in the game
00:43With these dares that allow the player to challenge themselves
00:46They're a little bit like side missions, but they're important in the progression
00:49These can be anything like jump 20 meters
00:52To achieve a certain speed or a certain length of drift
00:55And all sorts of other simple challenges as well
00:57So as you play through the game and achieve your objectives
01:00You increase your willpower
01:02Willpower is sort of currency of the game
01:04So the shiftability isn't free, the shiftability is earned by cool driving
01:10Once you watch people actually play it, it is a transforming experience for them
01:14Because it totally frees you up to do almost whatever you want
01:17So you might just see a car chase go past you
01:19And that's when you use shift
01:21You use shift into that action
01:23And it will cause a huge accident behind you
01:25And then of course then you get away from the cops
01:27And the road's blocked and away you go
01:29It really is that much fun
01:30It's a totally unique experience
01:32All the time you're thinking about how you can strategically adjust what's happening in front of you
01:42Throughout the game it actually upgrades as Tanner becomes stronger
01:45The first thing is that the shift itself becomes more powerful
01:48So we can pull further up and see more of the city, more of the cars
01:54That changes the kind of mission we can do with shift
01:58So we can create situations where you have to move very fast in different spaces to settle problems
02:04On street level one basic situation is you have a getaway car, he's in a very fast car, you're in
02:09a not so good cop car
02:11This is dispatch we have a 207 in progress near city hall
02:14You need to catch him
02:15So you would use shift either to take another car which is faster to get him
02:19Or take something in oncoming traffic and blow it into your target car
02:25The game is completely designed around shift
02:27So it's not like a cheat, it's not like it's an unlimited ability
02:30It's actually integral to the gameplay
02:34One of the first upgrades that we have is what we call rapid shift
02:37So if you're two cops in a cop chase trying to take down a getaway car
02:41One push of a button and you can rapidly shift between those two cop cars
02:45We have boost, which is like a matrix type of thing
02:48We have ram, ramability is like a penalty
02:51You can just swap cars and just always be at the heart of the action
02:55Shift out, shift in, shift out, shift in
02:58It's faster, it's quicker
02:59You can be in one car and then a fraction of a second you're in a car that's a few
03:03hundred yards of the road
03:05It transforms your perception of what a driving game can be
03:08As soon as people get their hands on it, they just get it and they love it
