Hey guys,

saw this game at EB when i went to get GTA4..

Has anyone played it?? From what ive seen on youtube clips it seems pathetic... like really really shit.

The cars sound like different brand vacume cleaners and the handling looks similar to the 2fast 2 furious need for speed crap.

But yeah, thought this game was coming out in like august wasnt it?

Dean, exactly why I don't bother with the codemasters racing stuff anymore mate. Race Drivers 1 and 2 were massive disappointments, simply being ports from platform games so the steering and braking are nonlinear.

Avoid their product and get the good ones like are being discussed in my online racing league thread.

  • 3 weeks later...

sorry if this is a dead thread but i was a manager at an EB Games store for a while, what you saw was a dummy box to let everyone know what is "coming soon" (would have been in the coming soon section with blue "coming soon" signs on the racks)

just so we are clear i HATE games like juiced, juiced 2, NFS, and the like for there completely disgusting handling and just lack of tuner culture knowledge, Forza 1 and 2 FTW

i have played the demo on Xbox Live, and it is one of the sweetest games iv ever played! and cant wait for it to come out

Looks like we have a GT5 killer not that GT5 was any good anyway.

Lol that is the most stupid thing i heard in this thread. Try take a corner in GT5 at over 150 and you will crash, do it in Racer Grid and you will fly round the coner without lifting off the accelerator. I downloaded the demo. Had one race and found it to be the shitteist game ever, deleted it 5 minutes later.

GT5 was a simulater, this game is just another need for speed.

I've been playing the demo today. It's actually pretty cool, the drifting is better than GT5 IMO. Depends what you're into though.

Stick with GT5 if you're into your simulators.

The replay mode is pretty cool and that little 'rewind' function was pulled off much better than Midnight Club did (or was it Burnout, can't remember).

I can see me getting over it in a week or so however.

But yeh to answer your question. Comes out on June 12th.

In regards to a GT Killer.... NOT EVEN CLOSE, Personally I don't think GRID is a NFS killer. I must admit though I am addicted to drifting the S15 in the demo and just to let you know how easy it is my current highest drift score on the 3 laps is 18.5 Million. The hardest boss for drift in the demo gets around 1.5-1.7 million just so you can compare.

I should have made my post a little more specific.

I meant in terms of gameplay and graphics, obviously the game style is different one being so called sim and the other arcade style and cannot be compared to one another in that regard.

Regardless gt5 is just a demo if and when it comes out i am sure all its flawed elements will be ironed out.

Feast ur eyes... (not for ghey speed internet connections tho) as it's a HD clip...

The bit at the end I call plain cheating, but the graphics are so sweet!

A birdy told me it is already available. :D

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
