Need for Speed Shift 3D Released For BlackBerry Storm2!

10 Comments »
 
 

Need for speed shift1 EA Mobile has been teasing us with demos of Need for Speed Shift 3D for what feels like ages. Need for Speed Shift takes advantage of the new OpenGL 3D support in the latest Storm2 9550 and makes the game look gorgeous. Trust me I played the game and it is awesome. It kind of makes me wish I had a Storm… It even uses the accelerometer for steering.

Need for Speed Shift 3D is selling for $9.99 in App World which is not unreasonable considering how advanced of a game it is. The weird part is that there are two different listings for the application. One for the US, Canada, & Japan at this link and one for every country EXCEPT the US, Canada, & Japan at this link… Sadly this game will only be available for the Storm2 because only the Storm2 and BlackBerry Curve 8530 have support for OpenGL and I am not sure the 8530 could handle it.

From the game description:

  1. 8530 has an identical chipset and ram to the storm2.

    The only reason nobody ports the games to the 8530 is that they don’t want to re-do everything for the resolution and control schemes, since all the opengl games start as storm2 games.

  2. This must the 1st time I’m really envious of the CDMA devices (-8530).

    For $10 i’d like a hands on demo first. I heard one of the new OpenGL based NFS games we very sluggish and choppy. I’d hate to waste $10 on a choppy game.

    9520 doesn’t have the same OpenGL support as its 9550 brother? That’s awful strange, why then would RIM offer it anywhere
