Grid Race Driver...

[Dean_HR31]

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?

[GTRgeoff]

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.

Nah not out yet. Would of been dummy boxes.

[LatinR33]

No idea about this one. But!! I am looking forward to Midnight Club- Los Angeles.

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

[driftrx]

comes out on the first of next month.

seen it in there and asked.

i dl the demo off of the playstation network, and its actually pretty good.....

[Dean_HR31]

Why do u say its pretty good? Cos its got good looking crashes and the graphics are good?

Review link 8.7/10

9.5 graphics (better then GT5)

9 gameplay (better then GT5)

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

[Dean_HR31]

Yeah maybe a GT5 killer... but for an audience that likes to complete u turns with no troubles at 150kms an hour..

GT5 is by far the best simulator for the console department at the moment... Besides Forza.

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.

GT anything being a "sim"???

Totally ridiculous. None are even close.

[Magic]

18.5 million points goddamn, my highest is around 500,000 lol.

For the console series, its no doubt the closest to a simulator as pathetic as that sounds...

I will give you a hint, Multiplier and Cones is where most of points lie.

I do have photos on the g.f's phone of the results of the 18.5 million run.

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.

[Mean_R34]

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.

Mad game

Too bad u cant modify cars tho and that there isnt more cars to choose from.. If you could customize like on Juiced 2 this game would be the sh!t
