Need for Speed: Shift Releasing on June 4th on Android; Coinciding with HTC EVO 4G’s Launch

During Sprint’s EVO 4G media event this week, Sprint showcased what HTC’s EVO 4G was capable of. One thing that obviously struck a chord with me was when Sprint announced EA’s Need for Speed: Shift would be making its way to the Android marketplace, then proceeded to demo what the game looked like in action on the EVO 4G. We’ve now learned that Need for Speed: Shift will be released on June 4th, just in time for the EVO 4G’s launch. Coincidence?

Need for Speed: Shift was originally released last fall on the Xbox 360 & PS3, as well as an iPhone & iPad version. The Android version of Need for Speed: Shift will most likely play similarly to the iPhone version, although being able to play the game on your LCD via the EVO 4G’s HDMI port will probably make the experience that much better.

Need for Speed: Shift can hopefully be the spark the Android gaming scene has been desperately needing since there’s so much potential for it to be a viable gaming platform, but so far it just hasn’t been able to compete with the massive list of games that are currently available on the App Store.

    Are you a professional journalist? "making it's way"… there's no apostrophe! Learn how to use the English language!!!

      Thanks for the heads up. I think for writing on IntoMobile for a year, I did a pretty good job of not making that mistake. Trust me, with how many articles we write, we’re bound to slip up every so often. And of course, us journalists absolutely love receiving comments such as yours that not only informs us of our error, but we also love when readers put it as delicately as you did.

        Wow, not only did you make a basic grammatical mistake but you try to justify it by saying you write ‘a lot’ of articles AND you sarcastically reply when someone calls you ou! How about some respect for your readers, especially the only person who actually commented.
        National newspapers publish a shedload more articles than you and have the professionalism to avoid mistakes and apologise if they are pointed out

          Was my comment really that bad? I’ve been reading it over and over and I think I handled Chris’ comment fine. I think if he would have responded with one less exclamation point, I probably wouldn’t have gone the sarcastic route towards the end.

          I have nothing but respect for our readers. In fact, I’m the one who usually responds to a reader’s comment or suggestion when they submit an email to our team. I also handle getting prizes and giving them away to our readers as well. I also engage our readers on our Twitter & Facebook page, so I’m all about the readers.

        Are you being intentionally crap with your English? “… us journalists…” ? You mean “we journalists”, surely.
