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

    • I can ship Nismo floor mats to you: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/nismo-floor-mats-for-skyline-r33-bcnr33-stagea-wgnc34?_pos=1&_sid=9278c1467&_ss=r  
    • Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.
    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
