I got this on PC and I highly recommend it since this is the closest to the old ToCA Race Driver games.

I guess performance mode on Switch is just energy saver mode with an unlocked framerate from the phone version then,I did 3 screenshots on my iphone XR in the 3 different modes
Graphics mode
Performance Mode
energy saver mode
looks like in Graphics mode there is motion blur, AO, and real time shadows, better textures
Performance mode blur is turned off, retains AO and realtime shadows
Energy saver no real time shadows noAO and no motion blur
and energy saver mode the same with a 30 fps cap ,
from what i've seen of the Switch footage.
Optional HD textures download from eShop vs default textures.
With that textures how different is the performance ?
Not sure if its known but if you use a gamecube controller you get analogue gas and brakes using the triggers.

Any other screens or clips of the high-res textures?
No, that's the only picture as far as I know. They just posted it during the reddit AMA.

Yeah this was already day 1 since announcement. a pity it's digital only. This game is shaping up to be one of those Switch masterpieces i want to own physical.

Thanks! :D
Here's the quote about the texture pack:

The texture pack only made sense sense if they were targeting a packaged release eventually. Wonder when that'll happen.
No timeline on the multiplayer is pretty disappointing.

That optional high-res texture pack is boss. I really wish more Switch developers would offer that.
Download only for now. Possibilty of a physical at some point.
Wonder how this will compare to the iOS version, and if it will be worth it for those of us who own it on good hardware.
When you consider the power and display quality of Apple's latest devices, along with iOS 13's native PS4/Xbox controller support, this becomes a bit of a harder sell. I'd still love to have a proper racer on the Switch, but I just revisited the game on the latest generation iPad Pro and XS Max, using an Xbox One controller (which has proper analog triggers VS the Joy-Con/Pro Controller) and I have the feeling it's the same (or better) experience.
That being said, the Switch is still a more portable solution, as you don't need a separate controller, but I play my Switch at home 99% of the time. It also feels different having a game on a proper console rather than a mobile device, for whatever reason.
I'll probably still pick this up to support it.

Seconded. Especially, if the image quality gets increased to a noticeable degree. If we've got the room to spare on our microsds, let us use it devs!
Yeah, wanting/wishing to and planning to are different things. I guess they'll watch the sales and evaluate if it' worth the retail distribution.
There are already some vids on YouTube. The looks of the game, the fact that it's 1080/720, the amount of content and options, I'm *this close* to bite.
It's supposed to be a simulation, but you can tweak the difficulty to make it more arcadey
This is looking extremely good, there's a number of YouTube videos praising it. My only criticism, based on what I've read and seen, is that there isn't a physical release (yet).
There's also a few Q&A's in this YouTube vid -
Yeah might come later on but this is a must buy for me. Going digital so don't have to card swap.
They certainly did if the fairly in-depth review in this video is anything to go by -

I can't say I understand the confusion though. Forza Motorsport, Forza Horizon. Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo Sport.
The only potentially confusing thing I see is the upcoming game they just called Grid...
Switch Up is fast becoming my favorite review place for Switch. Their video reviews are fair and we'll produced
Tired of talking head YouTubers and their reviews of games and their sometimes smug admission and begging for review codes.
Based on this video I agree, I've now subscribed to SwitchUp and plan to look at some of their other reviews.

Really tempted to pick this up but I don't have a Gamecube controller setup for my Switch and definitely want to play this with analog triggers.
Does the Switch support the Wii-U Gamecube dongle from Smash?

I've been watching them since last year. They always produce great stuff. The pace has picked up now the channel has grown. I believe they used to review only stuff they bought. They do get review codes now
I'm not into racing games beyond Mario Kart and F-zero, but this looks like an amazing and the kind that fully deserves to be successful on Switch.
Previous gen ports having a 60fps mode on Switch is starting to be more and more frequent, I hope that the trend continues.

Not the biggest fan of that setup since I stick to cockpit view and that limits my ability to look into corners and so forth.
Might have to dig out my adapter and see if it works. The price is excellent on GRID and I've been hankering for a good racing title for the Switch that isn't Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
I wish every port got this much TLC put into it. Watched a comparison of the 3 graphics options and I'm blown away. Absolutely perfect for a person like me who always prefers framerate over better graphics. I wasn't interested in Grid Autosport because I'm not big on sim racing games, but if it has the ability to play more arcade-like I'm totally in.
It's not like Forza and Forza Motorsport are different games. Plus you just named the two biggest series in the genre. Their names hold a bit more weight. Grid should do its best to not confuse anyone.
This looks really good and it seems like they put a lot of work into it, but I wish devs/publishers would stop with the vague "there may be a physical release possibly, someday" thing. I would be pissed if I bought this digitally and a few months later they put out a retail release.
