GRID (2019) - Viperconcept's Review

A lot of people requested my review about GRID, so... Here's my honest thoughts about it.

Viper concept: "Controller is way harder" isuckatdriving: Hold my keyboard

[@theraiden9631]

damn, he’s good.

[@DKTrue]

You have to watch how he is driving with a keyboard. In most corners, he just constantly taps the accelerator. This game is the middle between Forza Horizon and Forza Motorsport and fails to cater to both audiences in my opinion.

It's like nowdays developers only know how to do the core of the game, but fail to exploit all the potential

[@marco30599]

well said and so true

[@RobertoPlinio]

I blame Publishers/other stakeholders more than developers.

[@Cyrenetes]

Look what happens when developers exploit the potential. The original Counter-Strike was so good that even two sequels and almost 15 years later, it was still generally considered the best one. Same with ACC. Most people didn't see any reason to get Competizione over the original. If the original games had a game breaking issue left in or had intentionally stifled modding, the mediocre sequels would have done a lot better.

[@checkeruk]

I gotta agree it just seems that for the last 5 or so years games seem to be engineered to rake in profits more and more so than to be fun and memorable games you'll play for years to come.

[@Cyrenetes]

@@checkeruk I feel like Call of Duty 4 and the World of Warcraft expansions Cataclysm and onward were the big trendsetters. Of course, it's hard to determine what is intentional and what is just incompetence.

[@Cyrenetes]

Remember when people used to make fun of the newer CODs for displaying "Kill! +100 XP - Headshot! +50 XP - Defended the point! +200XP - Two kills in a row! +300XP" or something every time you did anything? The points gained for following the racing line, going too fast into a corner and "drifting", and shifting gears reminds me of that.

[@superninja252]

they tried make something like the driftmode of older grids but there isnt an system where those points really count

It looks a solid arcade racing game 🤘 If you really like racing game then all you need is a car and a track.. i dont understand what more motivations do players need? DriveClub is the same "empty" of any motivation even after so many dlc's and nevertheless it has so huge love among players. IMO modern NFS games trashed conception of racing game with all its campaign and story modes. my first racing games did't have anithing like this and i really liked them. Sadly that you as many other reviewers say nothing about FFB level for the wheels - for me it is the first important to play a game or not.

I agree with career mode. It feels very empty. In previous grid games you started low and went all the way up, and here you can almost start any where you want...

[@stachu_2137]

Only thing that makes me angry is that Grid Autosport was removed from Steam (I bought it at the last moment) and its multiplayer is dead, because of Grid (2019) 😕

[@jrs4516]

forza kind of killed the "here's a big bunch of race series using car A and track B" career model mode popular in gran turismo. they keep adding more and more generic series that it feels like a chore to grind them out. GT sport was wise to get rid of it. then for some reason everyone complained about it and they put it back on. the big screen full of generic events in this game looks just like what you'd find in any forza game. at least in older forza games you didn't really have to do all that many of the events to get enough money to fund your online racing activities. hopefully it's the same here.

[@DeiKuromu]

Wait... Codemasters remane TOCA as GRID? *(surprised pikachu face)* BTW, i drop the the full sims and simcades since F1 2012/Dirt 3 due a economical issues, and of course: 2:55 the abuse of the DLC "not for free" and delayed content 4:50 just imagine that with keyboard XD 5:40 which i don't have one 6:28 i never play any GRID but people that i know who does, so where's the ***** DRIFTING EVENTS? 7:04 i least it's more realistic than NFS Carbon LoL 8:17 In TOCA 2/3 i I.A was... oof 9:05 F1 2015/2016???

If you can't bring a complete "reboot" of your past sagas, why would you do it Codemasters? there are already recipes to do things right and you are not following, and with this I conclude my comme... 16:26 i prefer a remaster of the original GRID if had the chance to play.

[@superninja252]

[@Mulisak]

I must agree with you in every single way. I was very pleasantly surprised by the differences in car handling. And I don't mean just different car classes, but also cars in the same class have enough differences in terms of handling and power delivery. It's quite amazing to be honest. I like handling in this game a lot, it is arcady for sure, but with some simplified sim elements and it is just so rewarding and satisfying. AI is excellent as you stated, but difficulty lacks more options - full damage does not work at all, you either wreck your car completely or nothing happens to your car. I Didn't notice any changes in handling, engine failures, transmission etc... But let's say the fun factor is very very high. What is the biggest letdown of this game is definitely the career. No progression, you just race and buy cars, that's basically it. First GRID had amazing campaign with team management etc.. I don't miss drift races that much, since it's in every game nowadays, but I would like touge to return, 1v1 battles in first GRID in Okutama were so memorable. In conclusion, the game has a huge potential, if they add some more content. Had they given it more time, it could have been 9/10 racing game. In current state, I'd give it a very solid 7/10.

[@lucianoafp]

as someone who plays majorly on keyboard, it was way more strange than the controller, but it has some oddities on the behavior of V8s for sure. well, i keep my rewinds at hand when it happens, but i didn't have too much difficulties on getting used to the controller. in fact, it's the first game i dont suffer from the car going straight when turning, because it somehow recognizes when you're moving the stick diagonally than horizontally

[@bensoniusprime]

If Codemasters recent history is any indication, only about half of the games content has been included in the base game. The rest has already been scheduled for release as DLC over the next year and will cost you another $75-$100. 🤢 No VR. Limited replayability. Pass. 😑

[@superninja252]

they told that will be free tracks (mostly due those problems that you told) and the DLC is already featured on Ultimate edition, if you get you wont need worry to pay extra for DLCs

[@Howie47]

The problem with driving/racing in the environment of "simulation" is the translation from reality too in house, which leaves much to be desired. Thus we have more and more money spent to ever more complex equipment to try and bridge that gap. However their is a cheaper alternative method for giving the "need for speed" crowed a good hit off the speed junky joint. That is to tweak the physics in such a way that the driving experience fools the player into a experience that seems pretty realistic. Even if it does have inconsistencies. By the way, inconsistencies aren't lacking in the most rigorous Sims either!

[@bill_mccoy]

Whats the intro music? Sixth video

[@threediffrentones]

A worthy review without a spoken word!! Without an annoying guy yelling HELLO EVERYBODY. Respect.

[@iwanttocomplain]

It definitely needs fleshing out. Racing around is fine but you need long term goals to keep you playing a game for long periods and get good value out of your £60 spend. Codemasters need to include good career modes. Just letting you pick any race is pretty lazy and the menus are visually uninspiring.

[@MrWojas92]

Honestly to me, this is just Grid Autosport 2.

[@danieldudas9026]

[@ascensiontm]

so my guess is there is a lot to come. But still, not enough to release it at this price which is sad and is gonna turn a lot of players off. I bought the Ultimate edition or whatever so im hoping for future content. Campaign alone will serve a bunch of hours though

[@superninja252]

they told that they will lunch free tracks to everyone Ultimate edition gives players free DLC for at least 3 seaons

[@solaireofludomedia1323]

I think most of racing games are losing their purpose in single player. Remember Gran Turismo 2? Where you had to start with 10k credits and need to buy an economic used car to race at first? And then, with licenses and earned victories, the game pays your efforts with progress? It's not like "these are X challenges and you have to win them". They now focus most on online gameplay and yes, making a team with friends is fun and gets you into an amazing experience, but its more like a "meta" thing that the game itself doesn't offer. These games nowadays lack of "progression" which invests the player in the game, like the entirety of other game genres (because without progression other game genres won't make any sense).

[@superninja252]

most people play stuffs on multiplayer nowdays, it isnt only on Racing Games genere, its everywere Ubisoft told that the era of singleplayer games are getting onto the end

[@myyotube8497]

Of course it lacks of contend. Thats what the season pass is for.

[@Qimchiy]

Codemasters don't do that. GRID has been lacking in content since it started the few reasons it didn't fail was because it's fun. They've never done season pass as far as I know

[@midnitestate]

IZQimchi They have already announced three seasons as well as updates and I think they’re taking the GT sport route of releasing the base game and then updating it in the future however I don’t think there’s going to be as many free updates as gtsport has

Any tips? Great review mate!

[@JChris2403]

Thx for the review I am thinking the same about this game. I was a bit hyped when the first news came out and the devs sayd they want to go back to the older Grid days so I was hoping for real team building like in the first Grid after TOCA/DTM Race Driver which was from 2008 I guess. But nope. No real Team, no Sponsors, the Co Driver feature is far to basic, why didnt they take the Mechanics Feature from the Dirt Games to have some deepnes in there?, no 24h Race at the end of the season, already 4 Seasons of DLC content announced, a very boring carrer mode (and we know Codemasters can do it better, they did in the past and even in the F1 Games) Im a bit dissapointed but maybe its my fault that I was a bit hyped. But Im glad that I waited for the first Lets Plays and Reviews. So maybe I will buy it in a Sale one day

[@superninja252]

the game follows more Grid 2/Autosport types of tracks, without pitlanes and stuffs like that about the DLCs, they confirmed that will be Free Tracks and DLC Cars (mostly due problems with it on Grid 2 and Rally)

[@JChris2403]

Still the most important part with the team is missing. And when I check the Ultimate Edition it says its including seasons 1-3 with new cars etc. So not everything will be free. But maybe I will buy it one day when the extra stuff looks good and I see it in a sale. So far its not worth 70 or 99€

[@nismo97]

They tried to pander to everyone and in result they failed everyone with the physics. You need to drift AWD cars (GRID 2), you need to kinda drift low powered RWD cars (GRID 2007) and you need to be extremely careful with high powered cars (Autosport). Instead of making assists on or off they decided to make them 0 to 5 and obviously they can be abused by going halfway. In my experience, stability control 2 is stupidly overpowered because it doesn't cut your car's power as much but allows you to go over curbs and bumps without thinking twice and you can just mash the throttle in any RWD car without spinning out.

There something I don't get with racing games today, why is there ONLY 16 ai/player cars max on the starting grid in this game ? Wreckfest has an awesome destruction modele, semi realistic physics and has 24 cars max (even if it could have like 32 or more) and very good graphic too. Project cars 1 has 56 cars Max on the starting grid (not all tracks) with realistic physics and a small destruction physic and good graphic too. When will dev understand that we want a lot of cars on the grid, give us the choice, 2 to +40 cars for the perf or even more 50, if you're computer can't handle it decrease the amount that's all. They have the money and the experience but it's like they don't care at all about this.

I've been playing codemaster games since before the PS1, toca touring cars 2 had me glued to a 386 computer screen for hours!! If you drive that way in all the game's you play, you're bull in a China shop approach would definitely lead you to criticize every racing "GAME!!" you play as inadequate. I'm not being personal, I'm just saying that "grid" original was one of my favourite ones on the PS3, fun without the worry of lap times and setup, this new version seems to bring that back. Codemaster have never said that they are a simulation, they could never go up against "polyphony" in terms of content, but! They have always been good fun and never been anything but the pinical of arcade racing games. Much love 💋❤️

[@ListlessSpectre]

Codemasters is one of the best game creators for this genre of all time. The immersion and realism is phenomenal for an arcade racer. This game has just freshly been released an already I see a lot of critique in areas that I already know they're going to work on. I'm sure they'll push more content and updates because they always do. I own the original GRID on Steam and though the engine is outdated, it's still enough to make a good amount of racers look inferior (yes, you, NFS). I plan on getting this after it's first update so they can work out in addressing any outstanding bugs or issues and by then, I'm sure anyone with a full race setup in their house is going to want it too. NEVER make a decision on a game right after it's release or you're rolling the dice between joy and pain. Division 2 is a prime example...got all the hype in the world, then fell flat on it's face. I'm confident that this game is NOT that.

it's stripped out because CodeMasters are greedy. they want you to buy back everything they took out at as"dlc" the dlc pack available at launch is £25+ which is what ps3 Grid cost back in the day. so to get a game comparable to the original Grid CodeMasters want us mugs (sorry "customers") to pay £100+

While done by the same people, the GRID games are nothing like TOCA. GRID is an excellent SimCade series that is centered in the fun of driving with lots of fictional tracks, while the TOCA games where Sims with tons of different vehicles racing as ralsitic as it was possible at that time on really existing tracks.

[@superninja252]

TOCA (at least Toca Race Driver) series arent so much "Sim" as people try to say, the game was so much made for controllers that i prefered play with controllers only than use an wheel

Interesting - it was my first "real" racing game and I always used a wheel. There was even a noticeable difference in the behavior of the wheel based on which vehicle you drove. Especially the trucks!

[@zefixmotorsporttv2326]

For me (eSport Team Manager) it’s quite simple: devs are going to give more contents, but via buying DLC and nothing else. Gran Turismo Sport will be the only game to propose free update... and that’s gonna be too bad for it’s proper existence...

[@superninja252]

Devs told that will give free tracks (specially due problems with it on Grid 2 and Dirt Rally 2) DLCs will be cars only

[@LazloRTR]

Just realized it's 60 usd, for it's lack of content, you might wanna think about it. Not me though, one of the perks living in backwards country, the ultimate edition cost is only 24 usd, which is also weird as I never seen such drop

[@superninja252]

that is nice since it will feat all DLCs the ultimate + free track DLCs is an nice thing comparated to microtransaction fest that is NFS nowdays

[@m5s10]

If it was up to developers, they'd make everything and keep expanding the game. The problem is that the big greedy corporations just want to make a quick buck and constantly speed up the development so they meet the unrealistic deadlines.

[@wb3213]

Hopefully they are listening !

[@midnitestate]

If we remember correctly Gran Turismo sport came out with barely any content and look at it now put a ton more so while it stinks now I think future updates and season packages will add a lot to this game so it might be worth waiting for a completed it should be come out with all the DLC before picking this one up

[@chadchadison2591]

Man imagine this with past features of toca/grid like pit stop, removed tracks like yas marina and nurburgring, and the ability to participate in the 24 hours of le mans.

The goal of this video is to get enough money to buy a microphone.

[@Treeezplz]

Codies for the must part makes more realistic games like f1 and dirt rally. Not full sim but still. If they made this game more on the sim side than arcade it would be 1000x better imo. Kinda sad

[@faydulaksono]

thanks👍 i cancel to buy it

[@tsiogeo4]

so it is a fun arcade game and it is enjoyable with a wheel . thank you Viper..

[@edi07ish]

i think it goes to sim-cade class? . the only way to enjoying grid is simple made custom livery... not in-game, but external

YAAA, IT'S REWIND TIME

[@kondor99999]

“A Honda S2000 is easy to drive” . You lost me there. Having owned an ‘02 S2000, I can assure you that was the trickiest little car to drive I have ever owned. More likely to swap ends than an early 911. I guess they didn’t model that tendency!

[@superninja252]

its the fact of being arcade maybe, or the factor that they called Fernando Alonso to test the phyisics for this game and he hates Honda hahahaha

[@toddmcdonough]

I wish Viper would add thoughts on wheel settings and FFB. Oh well, I preorded the standard version after revisiting GRID Autosport and really enjoying it as a back compatible title on xbox. To be honest, I'm a bit worried about the lack of content and features.

[@antwainmcgee2268]

Not even simcade. Def not a big fan of more arcade. Not for me.

[@cjwavy3929]

Antwain McGee no shit it isn’t a sim fucking arcade game and no one cares

[@Jack2421992]

This was an amazing and thorough review, omg. Thanks, i needed this.

[@sideswipebl]

Why did you suggest fucking nitro boost for a GRID game? Since when has that been a staple??

[@ic3c0ld_w3bb2]

Anyone know the music viperconcept used for the vid?

[@wtfamousone9756]

On the first grid, teammates were already there

[@steveguest6207]

Has anybody else noticed that the cars seem to steer from the rear wheels when the camera is in chase mode....very strange...

[@sampletext24]

It's like the camera is fixed with the front of the car, just an optic illusion, maybe to calculate how much the rear will go out while steering and avoid crashing in the wall with it

[@ftrippel]

What does it mean when fire comes out of the exhaust? Gear shift? Breaking? Sorry, I'm a noob

[@invictussim-racingitalia1268]

Mah Viper, come molti ti seguo con interesse, dopo aver visto in offerta su PSN la versione Ultimate Edition e la tua recensione, mi sono convinto di dargli una possibilità. Però onestamente già al primo impatto ne sono rimasto abbastanza deluso. I primi 2 Grid (2008 e Grid 2) erano si degli arcade… Ma questo Grid è più arcade di NFS Shift… E' proprio spudoratamente arcade… Cioè Driveclub gli fa un baffo… Dai fai dei traversi con una Golf TCR che manco la Hoonicorn di Ken Block… Peccato perché la grafica veramente è splendida, siamo allo stato dell'arte e gli incidenti sono spettacolari, ma da Codemasters, seppur per un titolo da sempre più orientato all'arcade, mi aspettavo una fisica un po' più realistica. Avrebbe potuto essere un titolo molto migliore. Non entro nel dettaglio dei contenuti perché ti sto parlando proprio del primissimo impatto e delle sensazioni che mi ha personalmente trasmesso. Peccato, di solito quoto sempre veritiere le tue recensioni. Questa la trovo un po' troppo buonista e un po' fuorviante, Grid 2019 è un SUPER-MEGA-ARCADEONE con una gran grafica, ma ripeto: batte i suoi predecessori 10 a 0 nel settore arcade racing. Andrebbe evidenziato molto molto di più. Un saluto, tanto della mia opinione non fotterà un cazzo a nessuno :D.

[@Norway68]

GRID 2019 Multiplayer is the worst shit i ever playd..

[@twowheeldrive1]

A good game but a bad GRID

[@RFTCU]

Viper what do you think about the Nascar Heat 4? Arcade? SimCade? Or FullSim?

[@spinosauro666]

Does it have 2 or 4 players split screen?

[@geluxo3041]

Too much street circuits and only a few real. It's a copy paste of autosport but with better graphics.

[@ww2v2]

I've only played this for a few hours, and already I think the original GRID is much better overall (from an entertainment perspective). There was something really fun and unique and varied about the original game (career mode), whereas this game just feels kind of flat and lifeless, which is how you basically summed it up - so great review! I think the most informative I've seen so far.

[@33Dannyb]

ww2v2 Yes I agree. I don’t think any racing game has captured the feeling of the original Grid. It felt like an exciting action race, kind of like a movie, with great physics and sense of speed and excitement. This new Grid fails to capture that. I don’t even think they tried to capture that IMO, they just made a racing game with great graphics.

[@GolovaPomidor]

i mean just whatever u tell about smooth handling on the wheel ..u will never be faster on it . maybe just on some rare tracks . but tbh the physics of the game is still crazy and sometimes (actually most of the times ) its faster to go with some maaad drifts fru the corners / really faster . -----------------------------------------------------just remember the touring cup 6th event (which u havent passed on gold yet lol) on the "very hard" its impossible to drive normally . half of the track u have to slide into the long or sharp corners because its the only way to take the lead.

[@sampletext24]

According with what you said, seems like this GRID also has a little bit of GRID 2. Basically "try-harding" your way to the finish instead of being precise.

[@GolovaPomidor]

Sample Text lol, it's like being precise when u doing crazy shit on the track ,going sideways and cut corners as much as the game allows u without penalty. But depends of the car anyway ,some of extremely slidy other have super grip on high speed. And I think it not that bad as in grid 2 , u literally could do over 90 degree corner without braking at all with a right drift . On the new grid it's about 50-60 degrees. Or u'll lose all speed

[@GolovaPomidor]

Sample Text I have a video on my channel,advantage of dirty racing line,just go see what i mean. It's not that perfect ,but the first ,last , and lost of the corners between definetly the fastest going sideways

[@sampletext24]

@@GolovaPomidor Yeah man I know, don't worry, but is kinda harder being agressively precise than just precise, and in GRID 2 was almost always required to win, hope that in this GRID isn't

[@maripyter]

so there's no improvement as compared to GRID 2008 .... well fuckin done

[@edwardblodgett605]

This and horizon 4 are my favorite racing games so far.

[@emilianoabregu864]

Yeah, the lack of features are the weak point of this game In Autosport we had Race, Time Attack, Endurance, Drift and Demolition Derby; and with the DLC we received Sprint and Drag Mode (7 modes in total). In Grid 2019 we only have Race and Time Attack so the drop its big. But at least we have to wait to see if they add some of the modes from autosport

[@superninja252]

i am sure they will add stuff, at least they confiremed that they will add split screen (what means that they plan put new features in the game)

[@MiguelPerescorpio1982]

One of the best reviews that I ever seen! 👍🏻

[@kompotique]

>So fun! Really? It looks like a mobile game, especially this career menu. A boring list of championships, without interest and interesting events. And further. So many cars - but you can’t even inspect them!

[@superninja252]

i must remind you that Toca 3 and Grid 2008 had this same type of carrer and championships also the focus those games arent to *check the car inside* GT and Forza already have fatures like this, an third game would be atractive

[@wolfboy20]

The game is on sale for 15.99 on xbox live. 24 if u buy the ultimate edition

[@Blur4strike]

I got Grid (2019) Ultimate Edition as a freebie from a friend, to borrow a phrase from Geralt in "The Witcher" on Netflix "It's like ordering a pie and finding it has no filling."

[@Pennycilin3]

Knowing that this game sucked in terms of content and replayability, I decided to buy the Ultimate Edition during sale. Currently only have 6 hours into the game. I tried to make this game as difficult as I could, but not to the point where I could not beat the game due to how difficult it is to drive cars in this game with a controller. This game will definitely become boring once you are done with the career. I prefer to do other disciplines than just pure racing, which is why I liked the previous GRID games so much. They don't only focus on the racing aspect, they have other disciplines which offer variety and replayability. It's sad that Codemasters already announced that they killed the updates for this game now so that they can work on other games; it feels like this game is just a filler.
