I'm always glad to hear Luke's voice on an IGN race game review. He knows his race games.

[@TheJakeMG]

He doesn’t if he rated GRID 2019 higher than this. This game is tiers above it.

[@avalanche450]

@@TheJakeMG This is why we gotta play the game ourselves instead of listening to incompetent reviewers.

He's the master of reviewing the genre. Makes top-class content overall, actuallu. His RDR2 review is super cool.

[@speedm222]

the meaning of a “terrible idea” is launching your racing game a week before gran turismo 7

[@saintsalieri]

Launching Gran Turismo only on PS5 is also a bad idea.

[@BrianKongXD]

There are PC and Xbox to you know. It well sell okey on there. But yeah, probably almost nobody is going to buy it on PS.

[@adeomara5361]

@@phil_zupra_b5880 There's a rumor that said Gran Turismo Sport / 7 might be coming to PC.

[@gamechanger114]

On the flipside, for sales purposes it's better it was released before and not same-day or after. Some people might be itching for a new race game and don't want to wait another week gt7. You never know, Grid could end up scratching that itch for them

[@rocketpunchgo1]

The race game reviews from IGN are always excellent. Having a specialized reviewer who is knowledgable about the genre and that can give deeper insight to the game is always a nice bonus

[@final0222]

@They're trying to weaponize it You don't know anything about reviews/journalism, or even have much common sense. Fifa 95 got better score than fifa 2021. Does mean that's a better game nowdays? Jeez you got a lot to learn. A lot.

This expression from gamesradar summarizes Grid Legends very well: "Grid Legends finds its niche alongside Forza Horizon and Gran Turismo, offering track-based thrills for all skill levels.". As an avid racing gamer, i'm certainly having fun with improved driving mechanics of Grid Legends. It's not an excellent game but a solid racing game for racing game lovers.

[@Orochi_001]

Sad to say the Dirt Rally titles are the only modern Codemasters games with a decent driving model. Dirt 5 and Grid 2019 felt so unnatural to me

[@od13166]

Those two you mentioned are away from sim even first games

[@jamesvancam]

And what about this game to u?

[@swissDragonrider]

True story. Dirt 5 was beautiful but the driving model is soooo blunt. Arcade is fine sometimes but Dirt 5 was very disappointing...

[@GamersPlayBR]

Grid 2008 handling also was extremely unnatural, yet it is beloved

[@zerotofifty]

@@od13166 It's not just about being arcsade. Horizon games are a great example of arcade handling done right and these 2 are the exact opposites

The first grid on Xbox 360 had the best drift action I've ever played on a console and I'm disappointed no other Grid games have a drift compertishion at all. Grid 2 on Xbox 36O didn't have it ethier. If you played grid one back in the day salute

[@CoolBossFights]

I've never played a game that had better drifting than the first GRID, maybe Pro Street for the smoke effects but GRID's drift gameplay was amazing.

[@jenspenz9419]

Best racer of all time

[@ChurchBoy0487]

Played it on PC. One of the best racing games I've ever played. Drifting was indeed top tier and imo has yet to be surpassed.

[@anonymuzz99]

That game was way ahead of its time especially with the graphics and the crash physics. Hands down one of my favourite racing games of all time

[@thewarmwind6171]

Devs really need to realize that "arcade racer" doesn't have to mean "drives like a 2 year old is playing with a toy car". How is it that Forza Horizon is the only modern game to figure this out? So much wasted potential here.

[@Xander_Park]

The vehicles in grid legends handle a thousand times better than Forza 4 & 5.

[@killbill71]

Surprised he didn't mention how insanely easy this game is on the default/normal setting. You'll want to ramp up the difficulty at least a couple of notches

[@__Tazzzo]

Half the fun for me is finding out what ai level destroys me.

[@azdickinson4430]

Even on medium the A.I is so slow with cars at back of grid, that it makes it hard to get past them all to lead... at least on hard they stay in their lanes. Really fun game though

Driveclub was designed specifically for PS4 so it didn't need to think about scaling performance for different systems. Multiplat and multiplayer games are always held back to be able to run, load and perform well on older systems like xbox one as well as seriesx and ps5.

Codemasters has had the majority of the Driveclub team for a few years now & is still yet to utilise them properly. I'm not saying 'give us Driveclub 2' but surely they could do something similar but even better. First thing they need to do is get them to work on a new graphics engine.
