The truth is revealed, EA and Ferrari have come together once again after an eight year hiatus.
Source: NeedForSpeed.com
Ferrari is returning to Need for Speed for the first time since 2002’s Hot Pursuit 2, and we think the Ferrari Racing Series – only available for Need for Speed SHIFT - will be worth the wait for fans of the legendary automaker. So on February 16, strap yourself in, because the Ferrari Racing Series is going to be a fast and fun ride you don’t need to empty your life savings to get.We’ve got 10 of the fastest and most beautiful prancing horses on the planet, including the Italian stallion’s most recent triumph, California, as well as modern classics like the F430 and 599 GTB Fioriano and race-bred monsters F50 GT and F430 GTC. Below are all 10 Ferrari’s included in the Ferrari Racing Series:
# FERRARI 430 SCUDERIA
# FERRARI 599 GTB FIORIANO
# FERRARI CALIFORNIA
# FERRARI F50 GT
# FERRARI F430 CHALLENGE
# FERRARI F430 GTC
# FERRARI F430 SPIDER
# FERRARI FXX
# FERRARI SCUDERIA SPIDER 16M
# FERRARI SUPERAMERICAA bonus for Ferrari fans who download the Ferrari Racing Series is a new set of racing events which pits you against other Ferraris to determine which one of these elegant Italian thoroughbreds is best. The events included in the Ferrari Racing Series are:
# Ferrari Race Exhibition – Four single race events
# Ferrari Time Challenge - Hot Lap – Four single time attack events.
# Ferrari Mixed Track Competition – Four series events consisting of two races at multi layout tracks.
# Ferrari Time Challenge - Time Attack – Four single time attack events.
# Ferrari Series Competition – Three series events consisting of five races.
# Ferrari Eliminator Competition – Four eliminator based events (2 Lap eliminator and 2 Time eliminator).
# Ferrari Endurance Competition – Two single endurance events.
# Ferrari World Tour – A single race series consisting of 5 races.There is also a brand new set of achievements to be conquered, worth 125 gamer points in total.
The good news is that Ferrari has returned to NFS, but this is currently an EXCLUSIVE to the 360 ONLY. Quite unfortunate for the PS3 and PC owners.
The Ferrari Racing Pack will be available for $10.00 or 800 MS Points. (Xbox Live and NFS Shift is required.)

Damn it!!!
only to XBOX 360?? holy crap no!!!
only for xbox 360 ....SUCKS!!!
what a joke why can't they put this for the pc as well?THe website says todays is for x-box 360 and the 16th you can download the pack so does it mean you pc and PS3 get the 16th?
Thumbs down to Ferrari and Microsoft...
i want free and on pc
i hate xbox360!
i hate consoles
Xbox 360 only?! Stupid Microsoft...
God I hope Ferrari's will come to PC (I own the game) and PS3 too.
LOL, I wonder why I'm not surprised... :P
I'm still waiting for the rest of the muscles, though.
Now this is a downer.....I'm a Huge fan of Ferrari's road cars, but making this a 360 only download? They lost respect from me beeing a PS3 user, but not making it for PC? But with hope it'll be a case of it's out a month early for 360, and once all the bugs are ironed out the PS3 & PC gets it!
Oh well, back to playing OutRun for Ferrari fun! :) lol
GOD! CAN'T IT BE JUST LIKE BURNOUT PARADISE THAT HAS DLC FOR ALL PLATFORMS?! AWWWW NO!!! MY LOVELY FERRARIs!
Yep. EA has yet again proved that they are pathetic people. Like I didn't expect this anyways. Back to GRID.
No one buy it till they add a 360CS and 250 GTO!
IT WILL ROCK
Shift on PC has new-cars modding so they will come eventually, just wait for the first Ferrarilover to make one. It is a bad sign however to treat people this way.
Although I'd laugh my ass of if they follow R*'s patch by announcing a year from now that it will also be available for PC and PS3 as R* did with EFLC.
.......
Do not want
I thought it was party when I say it at the main page... Until I read the details
@CLR: But R* has that right. They made almost fully new games, this is just 10 cars. Besides it's mostly M$ making it exclusive till they're done with it. This one is with EA however so I don't trust them.
Damn EA!! WTF that means from them? Addon cars were always for free for PC since NFS3, thru NFS4, NFS Porsche as far as I remember. All is fcked up now. Times when NFS was just the best street racing game are gone since there appeared stupid NFS based on FnF movie.
Dang that sucks, was looking forward for some Ferraris on my pc...
Gey, 360 only. Just gey.
Before i saw the yellow text, i flippin` out of joy, my favorite F50, finally in a newer game, YES!
And then i took everything good that i thought at the time back and thought something black and EMOish
/cut /wrist
Screw you EA @ M$
360 only? Lame EA, lame.
Funny thing is EA also upset the people who want those cars only to steal them and put them into their favored subpar game (hello WR2?).
People are already saying the DLC is too expensive since it's $9.99 for only a few cars and career events... I wouldn't be surprised if the DLC turns out to be a flop because those exclusivity rights restrict the potential customer demographics.
Zpectre u are so rude, because maybe u dont believe that im playing SHIFT quite much, like this game pretty much, finally some good NFS after manys sh!ts since NFS UG. Is so sad there wont be long waited Ferraris in NFS :(
Hi EA have now completely lost me.
COMES TO PS3 AND PC TOO I SEE ON WEBSITE
Really? you see that on the website? Are you completely sure, because there is no such text stating that the Ferrari DLC will be included on the PS3 or PC (yet), check the forums even.
Only on 360?
...........................
wut?
wat?
wot?
..........
the fuwk?
they will do for PS3 and PC by pressure from fans
There's nothing special on putting DLC for 360 only instead on 3 platforms. It's kinda like they're too stingy.
Oh well, back to Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box.
@HSVrules: Hammered the nail on the head with that one.
By the way...
# FERRARI F430 SPIDER
# FERRARI SCUDERIA SPIDER 16M
Convertibles too? :D
@TomWin: Then I'm sorry. It's just that I'm trying to support the series, despite it not being completely my taste as of late.
guak ferrari :( thanks god this mod is not for pc :)
dont hate me this is my opinion only :D
What about those of us playing on PSP? It sucks for us too! Dammit EA release it on ALL PLATFORMS!!!
EDIT: nvm, I just see the pictures and that explains my question.
EA explains that other platforms players instead of Ferrari Racing Series will get an other DLC package in March. Really wish find there some old good supercars, Diablo, Esprit, 993 Turbo, NSX or new Corvette ZR1, Spyker, Zonda Cinque etc :P
the screen shots looks has pc
Time for a quote.
Officialy posted by NFSKirk on needforspeed.com:
Microsoft = Forza = Ferrari = Shift DLC
Simple equation explaining everything.
Time to stop whining and get over it.
Some quotes from EA board:
NFSDrew
There will be some more content coming in mid-March that will be available on Xbox 360 & PS3. As for PC; there is a WHOLE GAME coming that's going to be exclusive to the PC; NFS WORLD.
To answer your question CrowTRobot; neither the Ferrari Racing Series nor the March content will be available on PC. As for future content...I can't say because I don't know.
:facepalm:
@FOX: What about FVR? That game is for PC and features licensed Ferrari content including the Mugello track.
I think it just shows how the Ferrari people are dicks nowadays. If I was CEO of a brand like that I'd want maximum exposure instead of exclusivity deals. Exposure increases sales of merchandising which is a large chunk of the income of brands like Ferrari and Porsche.
Enzo Ferrari is rolling in his tomb.
I sure hope this whole new PC game has ferraris and like old NFS since the PC gamers got shafted.So far for NFS world for pc only.That kind of street racing crap is the reason why i didn't get UG1 and 2 and undercover.If it wasn't for PC gamers all the old games would have died out long time ago and some NFS gamers would just forget about the seris completely.
It's like admitting to believe that faries and santa claus exist.
MW and C were also street racing games.
Obviously, for the die hard NFS fans, this is a blow because most of us play on the PC, but I remember that a guy said in the forum that the Scuderia would be in Shift and no one believed him. Joke's on all of us at the end of the day.
why not a pontiac gto '69,why not a mustang '67,why not lamborghini diablo?
the true cars that we want
@FOX yeah and what about GT5? They have these suckas + the Enzo, Ferrari F2007, F40, 512BB, and the new Ferrari 458 Italia.

As far as I know, guys from Ferrari are very picky when it comes to their customers, and their merchandise is not for mass market; thus the exclusivity. So in this case, Ferrari and Porsche can't be compared.

Sums it all up for you.
As for the DLC, I'm sure if enough people complain, it will be released. Most DLC stuff eventually becomes free or is added to a "Complete Edition" version of the said game and is released on all consoles. ( Like Midnight Club L.A. for example)
i know there is a shelby,but why not a real mustang boss 302 maiby?
You guys realize they can't put it on the PS3 because of Gran Turismo 5, right?
Microsoft.
The only company that fails competing with themselves.
I wonder if is possible to get work this Ferrari DLC on PC somehow (or at least replace current SHIFT models), because I mod WR2 game and I read that people can use these WR2 addons on xBox360 version of WR2 without problems.
That's really sad first good NFS since NFS Porsche, cant have ferraris just because sh!tty MS, that's so unfair for NFS fans :( I would love to try California on Nordschleife :(
@ Zpectre: I'm a big fan of NFS4 and NFS5 as well, WR2 is for me kinda like NFS4 now because stupid EA didnt care to continue NFS series this way untill SHIFT (I just miss there road challenges with traffic cars)
and the Ferrari Enzo???
"Too new to be classic, too old to be new."
There's a tool on here that allows you to unpack all the nfs shift resources on pc. After I did that, I found folders with the names of all these ferrari's! I can't imagine that shift for pc will go ferrari-less for long...
Anybody who has said the pressure from fans will cause EA to launch it for all platforms couldn't be more right.
However, all game makers, EA, Infinity Ward etc. are XBOX fanboys. Believe it or not, Microsoft sometimes 'bribe' companies into making exclusive 360 content. For example, the Modern Warfare 2 exclusive maps carry on has happened in the past.
So, don't worry PC and PS3 users. You can just think how desperate and pathetic Microsoft and EA have been together. At least Sony and PC manufacturers don't force people to make special things for their gaming tools.
PS3 BETTER THAN EVER. is wasted money if you buy xbox 360. no blu ray no excelent grafhics no hdmi no hard disk no digital sound and dolby and i think no wireless controls
