Race Driver: Grid review - ColourShed

[@acepedro12]

To this day I'm scared by how well-optimized the EGO engine is. Even my shittiest computers could run Codemasters' games.

[@TheFurryInShambles]

To bad their greediness of dlc and taking content from a previous game they made and putting it back as dlc is stopping them from becoming better.

[@tommygun6866]

Just played it @ 165 fps locked with 110 fov. Amazing

[@mattslifka]

It really is a fantastic engine. My PC is an absolute potato (anything PS3 equivalent or later is run on low/med), but I was stunned by how smoothly I was able to run GRID and the F1 games- not on ultra settings, but definitely on par with PS3 graphics plus a higher frame rate.

The damage model in this game is so satisfying. Way ahead of it's time.

[@MetalZeroFour]

And way better than almost anything that’s come out since. Sad to say because it’s been 12 years since this game released, but that’s just how racing games have turned out now. It’s way too expensive now to get the licensing for all that shit I guess.

Best teammate in the game: Tom Rockford. If you win, he'll most likely be second right behind you.

[@nikki-lx3yf]

tom is excellent early on in the game but after a while i found he just couldnt keep up anymore. i ended up swapping him for alex fletcher, who was really excellent for a long time. in the very later on events unfortunately he faltered a bit and would usually only finish middle-of-the-pack without my help, but at that point i was kinda attached to him since he was my homie for most of the game, so i couldnt bring myself to swap him out.

[@XpvPro1]

Haha yes

[@Eaverae]

Tom FTW

[@iWassaGuy]

TrentTheHedgie Tom is aggressive, especially when Ravenwest is in the event.

[@mahiru20ten]

Since I usually go for the Japanese events, I picked Eiji Matzuke as my first teammate. He's mad at the Tuner events, even getting in front of me usually. But when he's not racing the Tuner cars, he's pretty awful (lol)

[@angelo.strand]

4:25 They don't race in reverse because the asphalt becomes contoured in one direction over time Driving the opposite way would eat up the tires.

[@alfil1521]

Pretty Interesting

[@razmann4k]

Also, the runoff areas are designed for driving in the normal direction, so the reverse layout will have little-to no runoff areas, making it very dangerous

[@JorgeAraujo97]

Still better than the 2019 game.

[@JorgeAraujo97]

@Hallison Michel If you can find it cheap, it's an alright game. Just not worth the full price. The original Grid had far more content and soul, but the 2019 game can be fun in small romps. Especially with the Mini.

[@ThunderTHR]

@Hallison Michel If you care solely for the racing and the feel it gives you, its by no mean a bad game. The racing "feel" has always been a strength in Codemasters games. The problem with the new game is how "empty" it is. The career mode is just a list put together with almost no structure, the teammates feel NOWHERE near as important as they did in the original game, content is a bit sparse here and there, and its another repeat of that awful "seasonal" DLC trend which usually consists of taking content from previous games and re-adding them but putting them behind a paywall. Also the mutliplayer leaves a lot to be desired. It left me with a bad taste and made me put off finishing the game for LPing it.

[@nabeelbox7397]

The cockpit camera was bugged for me, either it was too bright on day races or too dark on night races. That alone turned me off from the game...

The Best Grid Game, Period

[@Nismonath5]

After playing Toca RD 3 for years, when I got Grid I really enjoyed the team building aspect of it. The teammates were a bit hit or miss, but you didn't mention how each teammate has their own specialty, such as touring car, tuner, etc. So asking an open wheeler driver to do a drift event (for example) would never go down well! It was more a case of either swapping out your teammate for each discipline, or picking a class and sticking it out until you've done all those events. Just another layer of depth to the team side of things!

[@FormulaOneFan98]

[@LotsOfToubleUsuallySerious]

I recognize why it is the favorite GRID of most people, but i kinda like Autosport a little more because despite saying realism

[@KevinAbillGaming]

Also, I like the idea of signing up contract for one of the ten teams in the game based on your previous season's performance, where if you perform good last season, midfield and front-pack teams would offer you a seat for the upcoming season, with a preset teammate accompanying you. Not only that, this game also introduces the ability to pass a message on the radio to check your car condition, event rival position, your current position, your teammate's position, as well as the ability to tell them to push or defend the position, something that the first GRID game didn't have, where you could only pray that he doesn't make any mistake to bring home some points for your team.

[@birdman4birdlegs]

"Forza is about collecting cars, Gran Turismo is about the sheer level of content" You mean Gran Turismo is about the sheer level of cars you can collect?

[@n0rie9a]

7:22 apart from a few drivers like tom rockford (for a while), the key to successful teammates is to keep swapping them based on their specialty for the most unlocked events of the same discipline/specialty; so like early in the game get gianni fazio since he doesnt charge for signing, race with him only in pro tuned (his specialty) till you win them all and then take on a different discipline only, at this point hire a new team mate that specializes in that discipline; this is how team progression was done in this game since you have 5-6 different disciplines for 2-3 types of cars (gt1, gt2, prototype, lmp1, lmp2, endurance) and a team mate that specializes in one of those disciplines will do badly in the others even though theyre pretty much the same type of cars

[@StronkiTube]

The reason why real life races aren't done in reverse are mostly for safety reasons. Since corners are taken in reverse, so does the angle of a potential crash change. Most, if not all, circuits are designed in such a way to only support gravel pits and such from driving the circuit in one way. Driving in reverse would require a massive physical reconstruction, and putting down new gravel pits and other safety things. Some tracks even make it impossible to do so, due to public roads being in the way around the circuits, preventing the construction of new gravel pits. Or even roads of the circuit itself blocking the position of where a new gravel pit would have to be made.

[@jasonvoorheesthethird]

Im a sim racing fan, always been and will always be, but GRID is still to this day one of the game where i got the most fun while playing it. I remember not being able to put it down, i was literally addicted to it, even though it was an arcade racer, the intensity, the graphics and the immersion were years ahead of everything else on the market in my opinion. I also loved the cockpit view and the damage model, i truly loved this game, so much that its still in my top 10 of all time favorite racers even though its far from being a sim! I would love to get a remastered version of this game

[@Predatorxdd]

GRID is objectively the best arcade racer ever made, really don't understand how they couldnt just evolve this formula for their current games.

[@jintei8524]

This was the first modern racing game that really appealed to me when I was a kid and to this day it still remains my overall favorite. It's not realist, it has this dark aura I love so much but most people hate and doesn't feature as many cars as I wanted but has my favorite one (NSX) and to me this is more than enough. This game changed the way I saw racing games forever and is a spectacle of a title that I've played a lot on every platform. It represents the absolute peak for Codemasters and almost everything they developed afterwards wouldn't even get close to giving you the same feel the original Racedriver GRID always provides "Legendary" is as much as I need to say about this game, immortal and a must-play for everyone that loves racing adrenaline at its finest

[@filyard]

V8 supercars were actually planned as a DLC for the game, but eventually got canned even if all the cars and Bathurst are still in the files on PC.

[@KevinAbillGaming]

8:32 In this game, they count the damage as in the mechanical damage you sustained in the race, like gearbox, steering wheel, engine, and chassis. In GRID Autosport, the same objective requires you to avoid contact with the wall or other racers, even if it's just cosmetic damage.

[@heluga9108]

1:57 found good comment on steam about this: "Companies who release new games with the exact same title as an earlier game should be ashamed of themselves. When a company does this, they effectively remove the earlier game from existence. When a person says "GRID", how do you know what game he's referring to? Well, if you're the company, you want them to mean the newest game--that's the only game that exists as far as they are concerned. It's a disgusting, greed-borne tactic to increase sales, and shows that the decision makers have no passion or respect for the games that created the success in the first place. When companies do this, we have only one response: It's not Tomb Raider, it's Tomb Raider 2013. It's not Battlefront, it's Battlefront 2015. It's not DOOM, it's DOOM 2016. It's not Hitman, it's Hitman 2016. It's not Prey, it's Prey 2017. It's not GRID, it's GRID 2019."

[@terminhaider9695]

There’s a magic to this game’s physics that are obviously arcade but there’s a definite reward for driving as if you were playing a simulation game taking proper racing lines and braking at optimal points as well as how much throttle you apply mid corner and exiting the corner. I feel as though it was designed to act similar to a simulation game but adjusted the system to make it (very) forgiving as if every car in the game would drive as they would in real life but exponentially better (acceleration, braking, handling, oversteer/understeer, etc). Phenomenal design and very fun to brand newcomers and veterans of the racing game genre. It’s up there in my top racing games of all time. Hell I think I enjoy it more than the critically acclaimed Most Wanted 2005 nfs game

[@alessandroiudicone]

This is my favorite racing car game ever. I think that the author of the video didn't mentioned what is, in my opinion, the most impressive thing in this game: the MUSIC...or better, the DYNAMIC MUSIC system ! Unfortunately this system is available in the game only during the head-to-head racing with Ravenwest once you finish a tier of challenges (there are only 10 in the whole game)...but is definitely worth experiencing! The faster you go, the more the volume pumps-up during those rare races. If you do an accident and you risk to loose concentration, the music goes quiter, waiting for you to catch up. Once you are closer to your adversary, the rhythm and basses kicks on harder and other instruments adds. It's something really exciting!!! If you want to see what I'm talking about, you can check my channel, I have some videos in one of my playlists.

You can make insane drifts and even it is very arcade, I feel i'm in control.

Realistic, Diverse and Challenging, yet arcadey enough that it doesn’t punish you for playing it. I’m especially a fan of the collision physics which lets the cars realistically bump and trade paint, unlike forza which to this day has them bounce and ricochet off eachother like a a rubber blowing ball being thrown down a lane with gutter guards.

I had this game back in 2009 I loved it

I love this game!!! Probably my favorite racing game of last generation. Much better than the new reboot too.

8:10 Allan McNish corner, same car..... gives me goosebumps

To be fair, the only Grid game I got into was Grid: Autosport. I was browsing through the in-game store and saw it. I enjoyed it the most. I only played Grid 2 on ps now for few days but never renewed it. I didn’t know TOCA was a thing before Grid. I’m on the fence on buying the reboot.

Don't waste your time and money, it's a snoozefest

[@Mashmarriner69]

This game still looks amazing.

Hello! Will you do a Grid Autosport review please? Really interesting how it would compare to other of it's competitors like NFS Shift or even Race Driver Grid

[@Gouranga547]

You should really try DiRT Rally 1. For me it was the turning poing for rally games. It really proves how good is the EGO engine and how passionate Codemasters used to be. For me, one of the best games of this generation!

[@solidosnak164]

Are you gonna review the other Grid games? And also the colin mcrae dirt games?

[@LJack009]

Such a shame you can't even buy it on steam anymore.

[@spazjackrabbit61]

due to expired licences

[@arnosidurian]

glad i already got it on steam

[@Vixen1525]

@Hussy buy the game on a disk. I bought my one years ago and it is a disk.

[@1Atomrofl]

@Hussy actually they do? I've bought a key like two weeks ago. Maybe its currently out of stock

[@GoldSrc_]

If you can get a legit Steam key, or buy it from someone else who still has a gift copy, you can still download it from Steam.

I remember loving this game and never stopping until I completed it 👍❤️

[@harrifongostudios]

if you guys get your hands on the arcade version it's really good and really fair. You can keep playing if you keep winning, I played for about an hour with a single credit since I was pretty well versed on the tracks and handling.

The intro song and main menu song are amazing. But the first grid is a masterpiece
