@Emperor Lars XVIII Nah, this is new game or "reboot" if you will...but no its not remaster of the original GRID. Overall I dont exactly see where Codemasters wants GRID to fall in in racing game genre....most people would either prefer full arcade or sim or "semi-sim" (like Forza) type of game, these kind of games that fall in somewhere between are usually the ones that dont really get reviewed that well or sell that well.

[@russmanYT]

why does it feel like this genre hasn't changed/improved in a decade?

[@pspcow]

Russell Smith graphics got to a point where it looks realistic or stylized in the way the devs wanted. So in itself, there is only so much you can improve before you hit a wall. Let them get to the point where in game people look real, and graphics will stop being so important. Hell, I would argue we’re already there.

@@SirGreenDay It is. I'm almost done with the so called career and I'm already bored to death.

It's been almost 6 and a half years since Grid 2 came out so it's been a while. Honestly, I didn't expect to see a Grid title anytime soon. Having said that, I would consider buying this game, but I'm not necessarily in a hurry. A.I. is an issue and the damage modeling is a bit weak. Otherwise, I appreciate the great review as always. Thanks Karak!

[@ascensiontm]

my only issue is the 3rd person view (which i rarely use) and in the Car selection sometimes the wrong images load and it just overall loads pretty long. Other than that, really good sound in 1st person view (which i cared the most about) it feels really good to drive in the game. Tried wheel and controller. everything really good

After what Codemasters have done with Dirt Rally 2.0 i will not be buying

[@jepsen1977]

What did they do?

[@IIssac-hk9ks]

Michael Jepsen the base game content is too little, forcing people to buy the dlc

[@FalloutWanderer-uq5sh]

I've only played GRID 2 (Intel CPU giveaway oddly enough). Grid sits nicely balanced in-between an arcade and simulation racer from what I played. It's good to see the series make a return.

[@SimmaChode]

I never liked racing games. But when I played the first Grid game years ago, I was so hooked. Never got hooked on another racing after either.

hmmm, im not so sure i agree with that or do you mean dirt rally and dirt 3? or dirt 2 and dirt 3? i think you meant the later, and in that case i agree, but Dirt Rally, the original, is my favorite and still leaps and bounds above any of the new dirts, including 2.0.. whaddya think?

Grid 1 and Dirt 2/3 remain pinnacle Codemasters. Nothing they've put out since has come close to wowing me like those games did back in the day, especially in terms of visuals and presentation. Still some of my fav driving games of all time.

[@JLandmaster]

You do great reviews dude.

[@user-rb3vv8nd7c]

This man is an absolute poet.

[@monowaveart]

Original Grid was raw and crazy fun to play. Driving flat out on a straight was tritchy, edgy, risky and dangerous. You could feel every bump and it was terrifyingly brilliant. Buliding a team to battle Ravenwest was fun and rewarding. The new Grid looks like every other racer. Tame, safe driving, and basic team management. I loved original Grid because it had rivalries and a reason to play (not just race this to unlock next race). I was burned by grid 2 and again with autosport (both concenrated too much on the mechanics, rather than being a fun game to play).

[@stewardappiagyei6982]

Yes, for each car there are the same categories of liveries and the basic selection of color for paint jobs. The liveries vary from Motosport, Urban, Prestige, etc. They all have their own design and there is also a function to turn off the racing decals or leave them on. Rim and Driver color also change with car color. Edit: From what I've experienced you unlock more liveries through level unlocks and career completion.
