GRID Autosport (Switch) launching on September 19th for $34.99 USD, pre-load available now
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
The price is spot on considering the excellent quality of this port.
If I get an offer from any of the interviews I had last week, this is the first thing I'm grabbing. I would get it now, but my Nintendo Online subscription renewed erroneously and burned through too much of my spare eshop credit. Good news is I now have a sub until September of 2021.
I'll go to storage shed and see if I even still have the 360 version lol. I'll do my best, if I have it still, to make a video comparing them. Doing the capture is super easy. Editing it to compare them, that's just not my thing at all lol. It'll be a learning experience for me.
I'm hoping Digital Foundry gives it a thorough analysis. I would think Dark1x would be salivating over this.
That's what I mean. That's the bare minimum that should be expected from such an old game on the Switch.
And man, after seeing this game again I really hope the new Grid sticks the landing. They certainly lost something after Race Driver Grid.
There isn't an epidemic of last gen games running poorly on Switch. I don't get your point. Pretty much every last gen game runs the same or better. That is the expected.
probably not.
It includes all the dlc. To compare, it's $40 on Steam (without any dlc).

Digital Foundry's been slacking in their Switch content lately. They still never did Fire Emblem Three Houses did they?
They need to do:
- Spyro Reignited Trilogy
- Grid Autosport
- Daemon X Machina (the content ID thing got fixed sooo...)
- Like, all of Square-Enix's JRPG ports (FFX/X2/XII/Last Remnant/WOFF Maxima)
And I'm still waiting for them to look at the current final build of Pokken Tournament DX. They only did the E3 build. :/ They need to do missing stuff in quick articles if vids are too taxing.
It did? I remember John rightfully complain about it no Twitter.
They touched on FF XII and X here:
I think the ship has sailed on Pokken. Personally, I'm happy with that port. The demo was blurry as hell, but the full release looks great.
I was surprised to see them pass over Spyro. ContraNetwork has a framerate analysis up, but I won't give that pirate any views.

Oh? Pokken's cleaer in the final build? Maybe they did bump the res from 720p docked after all.
If only there was a group of people who could verify this! ;)
BTW, don't suppose you could snap a 1080p comparison of the Pokken demo vs the final game could you? :)

I hope so too. They'll really go down in my estimation if there's no analysis in the next week.
Here's an album from the full game: https://imgur.com/a/3zg7NJk
Aegislash match is handheld. Chandalure is docked. First time I've ever played it docked. I definitely prefer it in handheld. Looks kinda rough on my 4k TV. My Switch is also a dedicated handheld. I only have a dock set up for Jackbox.
I don't have enough space to download the demo right now. My card stays full. I did a count earlier today and I have about 220 games on the platform. Really need to upgrade from my 400gb card, but I've been out of the job since May and funds are probably going to be too tight for it to happen in 2019.
Vgtech did Reignited trilogy which gave the general performance (solid frame rate, terrible frame pacing). DF did do FF10/FF12 though.
Does this game have any online features? One review I saw said it has none, but metacritic says it has online challenges.
Could someone please clarify? I don't really care about pvp racing, I just want online leaderboards so my friends and I can compete for best times.

Yeah, Marvelous Europe managed to convince Marvelous HQ to knock it off.
It depends on how good looking the game originally was and on how represented the genre is on the platform. The Switch doesn't tend to get realistic AAA games, so take the best ones from last gen, spruce up the visuals, and it's probably going to look really good. Imagine The Last of Us, Uncharted 3 or Grand Theft Auto V. Hell, GTA V is the most popular game on PS4 and Xbox One and it's an enhanced port of a last-gen game. GRID's competition on Switch is made up of three games with much lower budgets. I wouldn't say it necessarily looks "impressive" based on what the Switch could theoretically pull off, but there are no other AAA realistic racing games on Switch, so let's say it looks refreshingly solid.
The amount and variety of content also helps in making it impressive. It's a big game with polished visuals.
I've heard that they will be patching in online later this year. I need to double check though.
So the current version has no online? No leaderboards?
I'll hold off on purchasing then.
I'm dumbstruck by the looks of this game. Played it years ago, loved it, and holy shit, this looks so amazing on Switch, that's almost hard to believe the Switch can deliver these gfx. Major kudos for Feral. They did an amazing job.
not to mention we're glad that it doesn't look worse
it also might perform better as well in higher resolutions... It's better than the old versions for sure.
Where does this fit on a spectrum of Need for Speed to Gran Turismo in terms of gameplay style? I'd really love to play a good racer on the Switch but I have always perferred NFS/Burnout style over GT.
This is more along the lines of GT but replace buying cars and upgrading them with sponsors and leveling up.
The games plays great and I am loving every minute of it. it's been a long time since I stay up till 2am for a game, but is there a bug where all other driver disappear during replay? It appears I am racing against a computer controlled S2000 since there were no driver in it... wtf?
