00:00PEGI 12
00:30In a chase or a race, if you have a crash, that can be the end of the fun
00:33But with shift, what you can do is instantly shift into another car in the traffic and get back in
00:37the action
00:37So you're never left behind
00:38Everything can just turn on a dime right at the end of the race or chase or whatever mode that
00:42you're playing
00:43Everybody's got a shift, right?
00:44So you're driving along, you've got your objective in the traffic
00:47You see a bolt of light and this car suddenly becomes an enemy
00:50And it's ramming you and smashing into you
00:51And you can do the same to him
00:52You can shift up ahead and you can T-bone him out of nowhere
01:00We have 11 modes for the online element
01:03We have a mixture of cooperative team-based games and also adversarial games as well
01:08And they range from the usual online games, races, tag, but also some interesting base defense games as well
01:15We have a mode called Trailblazer where you have to compete with each other to try and stay as close
01:21as you can to a getaway car
01:23It's a stream of yellow light and players compete to absorb that stream of light
01:28And it sounds very simple, but when you watch people play this mode, it's just incredible because they're all jostling
01:33for position
01:34We took some inspiration from other genres of video games like FPS
01:38So we have capture the flag
01:40Where obviously you have to find a flag and carry it to your base
01:43And the others, they try to run down your car in order to make the flag fall
01:48Then you can grab it and bring it to your base
01:51Shift is also a little bit different in online multiplayer
01:54It has three functions
01:55One of those is car spawn, which just spawns a car on the spot
01:59You can also transform a car from one car into another car
02:02So say you end up in a slow vehicle-like bus
02:05You can very quickly transform that into a much quicker car
02:08And the third thing that we have is the impulse
02:10And that allows you to apply a kick to someone else's car
02:14So say for example they're chasing after your friend
02:17You can apply an impulse to them
02:18And it will give them a kick
02:20And so suddenly they'll find themselves driving sideways or backwards
02:24Even though we've been designing this game for as long as we have
02:26Even though we've had multiplayer up and running for as long as we have
02:29It's still something that gets people in the studio laughing and enjoying playing it
02:35Once you get a bunch of friends together
02:37All competing with the shift of ability
02:39And stealing cars off each other
02:41It gets quite heated at times
02:42You can play a best friend
02:44Oh blah blah blah
03:00A film that's having a muscle
03:03Because the editing of the game
