Codemasters reveals Grid, coming September 2019
- Thread starter chadskin
- Start date
Thank god for this post straight away, i thought i was stroking out for a minute....
I tell you what, if you finally bring back the context-sensitive in race music form Grid 1 you have a buy.
Also turn down the simulation aspect. Grid 1 had the perfect balance and the sequels shifted more and more towards simulation, muddying the identity of the series.

Grid in terms of handling offered a high quality mix of arcade and simulation just like the Dirt series. It's accessible yet challenging. Codemasters haven't really done simulators in the last decade outside of Dirt:Rally and maybe their F1 titles (No idea how close to reality they are)

Stop freaking out of course we know what TOCA is I'm not an idiot lol. I remember people getting upset at the original GRID because of it being more arcade. For the record I liked it, but understood why some were mad. I thought Autosport was pretty great though. A good mix.
No seriously, is this a remake or a new game? If the latter, would "Grid 3" have been such a terrible title to avoid confusion?
What sort of confusion? Do people genuinely believe that people will go to the store, walk straight past the new release shelf and somehow walk out with a $5 used copy of Race Driver: GRID for PS3 by mistake?
Exactly the confusion I demonstrated in the sentence you're quoting - that this is a remake / remaster of the original, rather than a new game.
They are releasing GRID Autosport for Switch supposedly this summer.
I was one of them.
And for those who don't know, the TOCA series started as the TOCA BTCC games.
Back when the BTCC was a high budget, F1 supporting monster of a series.
As a casual gamer myself i found graphics terrible and compared to NFS2015 it felt very shit looking game in my TV.
And controls were such horrid that hold me from buying game after beta.
Man, I really enjoyed the first one, but there are just too many games now. I've barely gotten my money's worth out of Gran Turismo, and I love the game
CG trailer and a confusing title. Great job marketing team. I liked the original Grid but mainly for the destruction derbies
Well, you know what GAME are like. They'll even charge you the £50 for it.
It was called that in the UK, only GRID in the US. Hence the confusion.
Hopefully it features a cockpit camera view and the return of Ravenwest. I have high expectations for the career mode, I want to see it absolutely fleshed out and improved upon the original. No excuses.
I almost never preorder, but if the information is up to my expectations, I'll bite. This is one of the few games I had nothing but fond memories with.

Beat me to it, better have a proper cockpit view.
I loved the original. It was the only console game on the market that had an almost complete racing series in it's 2006 LeMans representation in there. All of the seasons tracks were there, the 24hr LeMans was in, and It was only missing a few LMP cars and Ferrari, which pulled out late in development.
I'd set up 50 lappers of a full grid of mix-class to try to simulate the LeMans season. Fantastic.
I understand why they're doing it but Other IP's currently have their 5th or 7th game and they just give it the proper numbering which is the better way to do it Imo. It wouldn't shock me to see a sequel to this in the next 5 years or earlier if it sells well enough.

To be fair the first one was named Race Driver: Grid.
Anyways, a new Grid is always something to celebrate!

New logo isn't great - looks very generic. Missing Ravenwest already since its almost guaranteed they've been replaced by Fernando Alonso's ESports team judging on press materials.
Hopefully the story doesn't end with them crashing out of qualifying before you even race.

lol...dont give them idea's like that ;)...maybe that could be in the OT .
Heh, I was kind of joking. I actually couldn't remember if the Race Driver prefix was regional rather than worldwide. You're correct, it was definitely widely known as just GRID.
I did kind of walk back my statement later by saying that because the original GRID is no longer purchaseable on at least PC digital storefronts (and likely elsewhere), that the possibility of buying the old game is vastly reduced.
But it's kind of like the Wii vs Wii U thing. Sure, people could figure out that they were different things if they did a tiny bit of research. But why invite the confusion in the first place? You already have people asking if it's a remaster/remake. (And actually, do we even know if it is or not?)
EDIT: According to the Steam page it says "all-new experience," so I guess it's a sequel.
True but It's still a useful trailer and there are key things one can extract from it :
(Some of the points are pure speculation)
-The Flashback feature makes a return
-Slower cars will be in
-Even though this is CG, they're trying to hint at a handling model that is similar to the Original as one of the car spins out after the curve
-Detailed damage model
-Optical tuning
-Night racing is in
-Dynamic weather? (Is that smoke or fog)
-aiming for high quality graphics which contain detailed car models and enviroments ( 60fps on Mid-cycle consoles and 30fps on base consoles is possible although parity is more likely for such a game)
