Whitesupraboy2 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Well it looks to me as if the level has been raised! This will be far more simulation then Forza was. (been developed by simbin who are top on PC simulation games) Flags are included and 12 player multiplayer. the vid below shows what to expect. (it is in HD so some PC's may struggle) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BevpOYqu7z8&fmt=22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caseys Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 That looks as nice as GT GT has been delayed again until September I found out the other day That game is never gonna come out is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 GT has been delayed again until September I found out the other day That game is never gonna come out is it? No. Best get an XBox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 I am so having me a piece of that! That looks as nice as GT I look forward to kicking your arse! Comes out on the 20th Feb too, so not long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hmm, I'll wait for some reviews - if it's good I might have to bring my Xbox back downstairs! Track roster doesn't look too impressive, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 I have to agree tracks arent that amazing. although Imola and donnington is good. Some good DLC coming i think. One thing that i thought was good is online is you can qualify. Everyone gets a hotlap by themselves when the game is launched. I also look forward to kicking muffleman, TDR and Trig had to get that in there too I love forza 2 so ill be able to give you honest opinion but simbin's PC simulation racing games are the best around.

AlexM Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I enjoyed Forza 2 as well, the unrealistic tracks did ruin it though. I'm tempted to pick up a PS2 with GT4 and a Logitech G25 just so I can learn the european tracks. I've looked at some of the simbin titles of the PC too, though I didn't enjoy them too much with a pad (and there's no stock Supra!).

Muffleman Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I also look forward to kicking muffleman, TDR and Trig had to get that in there too Really ? Oh, must be different to Forza2 then That settles it, must send my eggbox off for repair - old three lights of death a couple of months ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, must be different to Forza2 then That settles it, must send my eggbox off for repair - old three lights of death a couple of months ago yea it is...no stupid highly tuned Evo's You can tune the car but not do all that upgrade performance stuff. Which is good because i like my cars to have understeer more then oversteer. Also it will actually have flags...so you'll be black flagged within 2 corners then. and trig wont even make it down the straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Just got this months copy of GamesTM and they slated it... 5/10 Apparently the engine noises are annoying and the actual game progression is really limited... the closing comment was that they hope this 'hiccup' doesn't mar the developers reputation (in relation to the PC stuff). I'll still probably get it... but Games are usually spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Racedriver Grid on the PS3 rules for me right now. Even Forza 2 hasn't come close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah have to admit I like Grid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I haven't bothered with Grid yet... I downloaded the demo way back when and found the cars to be a bit 'floaty'... you all obviously rate it so I think I might have a dabble now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded the demo way back when and found the cars to be a bit 'floaty'... you all obviously rate it so I think I might have a dabble now I loved it. Every car has such distinctive characteristics. The drifting had me completely hooked as well. It's quite 'arcade' but with all that it's monstrously good fun. Filled a gap until GT5... although I enjoyed it so much I've completed it so I'm just trying to beat records now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Cool I just had a scoot around for some other reviews and drew a blank... but discovered Forza 3 is coming out this year I think I'll be upgrading the XBox before I succumb to a PS3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 GRiD is VERY good Mike. I was left with a sour taste after trying the Demo too, but borrowed the game and it's fantastic (played it to death and pretty much completed it before giving it back) - I've actually missed having a racing game so much I've bought myself a copy, and I'll start afresh.

cravo Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I've been playing Race Pro a bit and it's not great. The engine sounds are poor. This doesn't matter too much as you have to turn them down a *lot* to hear the surface sounds in order to know if you're on the edge of the grip. Even with all the driving assists off the handling feels odd, snapping back to centre when it really shouldn't - as if there's still some kind of steering assist going on. Really disappointing after the GTR games on PC. They've managed to accurately re-create the dodgy collision physics from the PC series though I'd be *very* interested to hear reasons why people didn't like the GRID demo compared to the full version though (feel free to PM if you don't want to take this thread too far off topic). Glad people have enjoyed the game though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad people have enjoyed the game though I played the demo of grid and thought it was quite poor , the handling of the car was more akin to a boat . But... I really wanted a shot of the drifting so i ordered if off Amazon at the begining of the week , i hope it arrives today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
