got the demo of race driver grid last night.

can't really say much as my PC doesn't really like it (poor old thing)

the drifting is cool, much better than need for speeds effort. I think it will be much better when a steering wheel or controller is used.

any one else tried it where it actually runs more than 30 seconds at a time?

yeah, i want to try it on the console before i buy it.

i have a feeling its going to have an arcadey feeling and have the same shitty storyline with fictional series in it.

the drift is fun, and the graphics are great. The crashes look awesome

when i play with all the graphics on low i get really bad frame rate every 30 seconds for 5-10 seconds (3-4 fps)

the replays after the races look awesome aswell, a good camera on the rear bumper, so you can see when you are using handbrake on entry of a corner

I've been playing it on the PS3 - drifting is great fun in it - not as easy/cheesy as Need for Speed's effort, handling to/while drifting is MUCH better than NFS, damage and car getting dirty is great much better than Forza 2, graphics is good, the replay is fun to muck around with.....

The circuit racing in this game is... RUBBISH! The car's handling/physics is way out of whacked.

All i had to do was see a few you tube clips to see how **** this game is.

It seems more arcadey than Daytona at timezone. Makes me sick. All these panzies concentrate on these days is F***ING graphics.

If ferarri challenge is also like this im dead set gonna sell my PS3 and go all out on my PC. Thats where the REAL car games are.

IMO

This is what NFS SHOULD have been.

I find the drifting in this to be quiet fun but as mentioned the Circuit racing has alot left to be desired.

Either way i'll probably still purchase this one and if its bad after the 1st week i'll take it back on EB's 7 day return policy and put the money on Metal Gear Solid

iv been playing this demo on 360 for a couple of days now and i cant stop playing it!

the drifting is awesome, as for the circuit racing, the BMW one is boring as bat s**t but the mustang track is great fun even if you just try to have a massive crash to watch the cars fly everywhere, its a hell-of-a-lot-a-fun

3 thumbs up from me :woot:

    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate 
    • He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.
    • Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
