Why No-0ne Played GRID 2019 | Video Essay (2019 Racing Game)

[@mrporgmotorsport7822]

GRID 2019 has turned into my “I’m bored but don’t want to play ACC or F1 because that’s too serious” game. I love it!

[@Gma7788]

So tuning race cars and controllers is boring to you. Tuning race cars is a never ending job.

[@donnycorn3086]

@@Gma7788 First GRID Game I've played was Race Driver GRID, and honestly, wished there was tuning in there. No, tuning ain't boring, NFS Prostreet made it look cool. just depends on whether you're a sim guy or an arcade, I'm bit of both.

[@itsarin2166]

​@@Gma7788depend on how the tuning is presented, the NFS series have an easy to understand tuning, while not exactly realistic or the most detailed it's not overwhelming. Meanwhile sim racers or some simcade tuning is a bit too much to min max for most players who just want to have fun and tune the car a bit without spending too much time on the tuning menu.

[@seggy93stormpersonelchanne58]

@@yeahrightmate i think to me its ok for this game and i play sometimes qlthough i know it is bad. I only say so because of the same circuit and time trial. Which is why it is easy to be bored., and it is also the reason for me not to play this often. however, the old game it just better than this, grid 2 is just okay. Autosport on the other hand, is what i hate of the most. 2019 i put to second last to me. Most likely this is our different perspective though. And i understand 2019 about lot of problems over there which is mostly i agree on this speaker. Thats why i play grid legends often, sometimes online.

[@DavidHurtadoToran]

Great video! Not a bad game, but imho a couple of things made it fail fast: 1) every fan was expecting a reboot of Race Driver: Grid, and Grid 2019 is a much simple game. They just nailed the gameplay, but the rest of the game is extremely empty 2) gameplay: a too aggressive AI, a weird handling model for powerful cars, and a kerbs behavior that can be stated as a bug, made gameplay difficult to enjoy in the long term Also, I fully agree in the quality vs. quantity. I personally prefer racing games with less cars

[@BoostedTV]

Yes! The curbs are absolutely killer in this game. I’m hoping they learned from their mistakes on this one, and Legends will be better.

[@DavidHurtadoToran]

@@BoostedTV Yes, it seems its solved in Legends

[@Gma7788]

You couldn't gossip about this game. You adjust the controller in this game 🎮 You actually tune your car 🚗. This game teaches you all about race car fine tuning. This game has race cars you know nothing about. It will take you years to learn about those cars. You're such a lunatic, you think we w were born yesterday.

[@LuisMendez-bs8yu]

I’ve never played a Grid game. After watching this I might consider downloading and playing it. Your review was solid and can tell you took your time with it! Can’t wait to see what else you’ll review

[@BoostedTV]

I appreciate the feedback!

[@lukee5496]

Hi Luis, If your looking at giving GRID a go, i'd highly recommend the original Grid (2008). That game was so ahead of it's time and I feel none of the later installments were able to capture the same feeling the first game did. It has aged now, being a 14 year old game but, if you want a great experience definatley pick up a copy if you can. GRID 2019 is an empty game. Its gets boring very quickly. The best part of the entire game is the car sounds but that doesn't make up for literally 2 event types - Circuit racing or time attack. I'm still trying to finish the singleplayer because it doesnt keep me hooked for long enough. I hope GRID Legends can offer more variety.

[@Gma7788]

Wrong. We don't want you gushing praise on idiots. We don't believe anything you say from now on.

[@Surgicaldamage]

Did you try it? I'm back at it trying to finish off career mode. It's so good with a wheel (on strongest force feedback) codemasters made a game that's arcade fun yet makes so much sense at 900 degree steering . G2019 with all DLC and updates, is data I'm gonna keep.

[@andipajeroking]

Recommend the Original Grid. Is the best.

[@hagopshishoian]

I've recently finished this game, including all the season DLC's. The graphics, engine sounds, damage models and variety of cars is exceptional It's a solid game to play. Around the 12 minute mark in this video, you described the exact problem with this game. There is no content. It is straight up circuit racing. No drift events like in the original series or drag. While there are time attack modes, those are still normal circuit racing and the game itself takes way too long to complete. While you can turn it down and listen to your own music, still. Grid Legends looks to liven things up by introducing different types of race events.

[@BoostedTV]

Yep! Super excited for it.

[@Gma7788]

Wrong. You must think we were born yesterday. It's impossible to finish tuning 1 race car 🏎. What planet do you come from? Did you really finish racing cars? You're crazy. Nobody believes you. Maybe you should take over Ford and build cars for us.

[@Surgicaldamage]

60fps on a home console simcade within the last 2 generations. This was a breath of fresh air. And still is.

[@Uniteddave]

None of the recent games compare to race driver grid. That game was so much fun. Races felt like a battle but in the best way and the damage model in the original was way better. The ai was awesome! Nothing more satisfying than a competitor getting a blowout on the last lap and you snatching victory. I've never quite understood why developers don't innovate, instead they've watered this one down. All we can do is hope the next one gets back to what made it great. Enjoyed your video!

[@BoostedTV]

Thanks I appreciate the feedback 💪

[@Gma7788]

You're wrong. You, and everyone else disowned the product. It was a time waste getting smashed off the track for no benefit. You didn't learn anything from getting smashed out of the race. They kept over braking every time, for corners. It was stupid. The AI still smashes me out of the race. It doesn't matter what I do. A car always appears out of nowhere and spins your car into the wall. 60% of the extras must be disabled so you can complete a race.

[@Uniteddave]

@@Gma7788 maybe you just need to get better at it. Maybe work on your attitude too.

[@seggy93stormpersonelchanne58]

@@Gma7788 you seriously need some training how to predit the ai goes and how you do on your attitude. These kind of attitude would mostly mess up your race if you didnt fix it.

I recently started with Grid Legends thru Game Pass and it slowly grew on me, to the point of me buying the Deluxe Version! And although Grid 2019 is also available to me.....and your review of it was informative BTW.....maybe I'll try it down the line but it's already hard finding people to play online in LEGENDS, so I don't think there's any hope for that on Grid 2019 at this point

[@garrypeak4277]

Always loved the series. I can remember playing the early TOCA titles on PS2 many years ago. And being an Aussie, naturally love the V8 Supercars. I’ve currently gone back and playing my way through 2014’s Grid Autosport, and enjoying it. I really hope that Legends does well…pre-ordered it soon as I saw it on the Xbox store. Fun channel mate, just discovered it 👍

The Australian V8 supercars have ALWAYS been my favorite type of racing. I used to watch them on TV whenever I could.

[@wardyx360]

I loved this game, including all the DLC. Had it at launch. Massive career, and 3 seasons of DLC. For me what killed this game is lack of cross play for the multiplayer side of things. And also I think because the KZbin Sim Racing community hated on the game, as it is more an arcade racer. And the sheep followed. And the same thing happened with Project Cars 3. Another great arcade racer.

To keep a racing game alive you need strong online game modes. Grid2 was the most played grid online, it has custom servers with hardcore damage (no flashback, and the car can be totalled), Grid 2019 has no custom server, just quick races.

Really enjoyed this video. I played Grid '19; just last night for the first time. I played the original 2008 Grid a few times through, and loved it. Grid 2, for me, was ok. I never played Grid: Autosport, so I was hesitant to play Grid 2019... but Game Pass+, so why the hell not. So far it's ok, just about 4 races into carrer mode, but willing to put some time in. Great upload, it makes me want to dive in more, and see whst it has to offer. Thank you for the video. jwts...the drifting was a complete blast in Race Driver: Grid '08.

[@BoostedTV]

Ahhh, yes. I’ve raced with them a few times on Legends

[@thesensiblestreamer2958]

Edit about curbs: They are possible to manage with enough experience. It's not the curb that causes a spinout, but accelerating or steering too strongly while passing over them. Take it easy while on curbs. Flat curbs generally don't cause issues, it's mainly the raised curbs to look out for I absolutely love Grid 2019! I played the campaign twice taking 1st in all events--first on medium, then on very hard. After all that, I finally started playing online. There are some regulars I race with on a daily basis. Swapping tips on vehicle tuning and assist settings has helped me get faster. If someone is faster than you, just talk to them about their settings. Chances are they will be happy to talk about it. Aside from the campaign events and online racing, there is free play. There one can choose which of the 27 car classes to compete with on the 99 different available routes. Each has its own leaderboard with global lap times. So if the AI is too easy, try pushing a car to its limits and go for a world record lap time. There is a lot of fun to be had in getting the best the lap time you can. When playing against the AI one can crash and otherwise play sub-optimally and still finish in first place. For a world record lap time however, you really must take your performance to the next level. The difficulty curve does not stop after beating the AI on very hard. I found Grid 2019 fun from the first playthrough, but I found it gets more enjoyable as I get more skillful. One cool thing about the game that gives it a unique identity is the live commentary with Kristen and Alex as well as your race engineer. It's kind of cheesy sometimes, but I like it. I think a younger me might not have appreciated it as much, but I'm old enough to where I can really enjoy it. Something I'd like to see in a future Grid is more classic cars from the 30s-80s. There are a couple 60s cars and a handful of 70s and 80s cars in Grid 2019. I'd have really liked an event with pre-war cars, as well as 50s and 60s cars. Most of the cars in Grid are 21st century models. I enjoy watching Goodwood Revival races on youtube featuring classic cars, and when watching that, I think more classic disciplines should be part of the Grid World Series

[@BoostedTV]

Thanks for taking the time to comment on my video. Yes! I agree, time trials and going for records is super fun. I am beginning to see there is a community for that. I saw a lot of people complained about the live commentary but I find it pretty cool and helpful at times. Thanks for watching

As someone whose childhood was race driver: grid I'm most likely biased. Yet I feel like the new grid titles could be so much more interesting with team & sponsor management, buying cars to enter disciplines, and signing different teammates. Earning experience to get licenses which dictate what events you can enter, and having your team's growth visually represented (like your garage as the menu background improving over time) would also help make the progression feel worthwhile.

Great vid, new sub! Honestly, I was really underwhelmed from a pure content perspective when it came to Grid 2019, so I never bought it or played it! The thing is, four letter racing games by the same developer have to have some distinguishing factors, and at the time, this did not have that. Eventually, dirt 5 dropped and set itself apart, grid hasn’t done that in a very crowded market. That said, I am very much so looking forward to Grid Legends here in the next few weeks. It has seemed to correct the content issue, and appears to bring something unique to the table! Good luck with the channel!

It's in a no-man's land. I think there was previously a decent market for those "grounded" arcade games (the original GRID and NFS Shift are two examples), but I think nowadays most gamers that are into track racing will have some kind of wheel and pedals set, at which point it makes sense to want to play something more like a simulator. For that reason, I don't expect Grid Legends to do any better tbh.

[@ACE-dw6ol]

I like Grid 2019 cause im a fan but the the game definitely has nothing to offer among others like gtsport or forza, such a simcade game should offer much more content to hold on a player to compete with these games, but i think it would be hard to deal with these games. So i believe there 2 ways for the game, first is to make it a sim so lack of content is not a problem in this case but in this field there is a competition too. But the other is to return back to roots which is the real deal. The 1st grid was a unique game with its entertaining career, superior damage system and variety of rare modes such as togue, freestyle and battle drift and 24h lemans. All these things made the game really authentic and outstanding. The returning of old damage system will cause small amount of cars because of licences for sure, but the authencity of the game returns which is most important to outstand from current row of racing games and to interest a player

[@BoostedTV]

Oh man! I forgot about the 24hr of Le Mans

The previous TOCA games had a storymode that gave the game more character & personality. This particular GRID feels a bit lifeless without it.

Cross play is confirmed !

[@Jaxan-dq2jy]

Every review I've seen (including this one) of this game thinks the driving model is weird. I think it's absolutely perfect in many ways. It's so exaggerative, exhilarating and punishing. It's one of the only racing games where I will legitimately crash because the cars are so slippery and I love it so much! :> I would rather have all the cars be uncontrollable and force you to pay attention then have all of them feel dull and boring like forza can sometimes And the feel of speed is SO GOOD Forza looks so slow compared to this game I play on Xbox with a controller and I find that a high sensitivity, hard difficulty, 9 laps, stiff tuning and the lowest assists you can tolerate gives me the most rewarding driving experience. I am very biased towards this game because I think handing model is the most important thing in a racing game and I love it so much I would put this games handling up with burnout paradise and art of rally which are some of my favorites Good arcade racing games are a dying breed and I'm very glad that this one exists (also if you like this you might like art of rally, but it's more difficult then this game I believe and it's on game pass ) If the driving feels weird to you in any game it helps to learn about car physics, tuning, and playing with the assists. Just like fps games the more time you put into racing games and learning how to get better the more rewarding it will be

[@BoostedTV]

You and I play the game very similarly. I typically don’t play with any assists on whatsoever and in cockpit or hoodcam. Makes for a very visceral experience I agree.

I’m getting close to 100 hours. I have a video coming out soon going over some of the new features in Grid Legends. Thanks for commenting.

[@behnaz59]

I'm one of those who play underrated games like this

[@yonshi2.0]

I have play hundreds of hours to Grid Autosport, and I think I will directly go for Grid Legends without experiencing Grid (2019)

[@BoostedTV]

You should!

[@yonshi2.0]

@@BoostedTV Updated info, I bought the game months ago :)

I play Grid 2019 with a Thrustmaster T300 RS GT. It feels awesome, the driving experience is great. I feel it's too aggressive & also requires some understanding of how to handle the car in turns & navigate through the crowd of aggressive ai drivers. With T300 I have cracked it n I win every race ❤

[@chillyman7340]

Each Grid game has the same and that is Lack of content. I feel that Grid games not having a modding community is what ruined the whole franchise lol, Once a Humble cloudy Grahpics Classic Racing game to generic Arcade racing game. Grid 2008 really paved the way for racing games and was one of the most realistic "SIM" racing games back in the day but now It can't keep up with the Competition that it had created . Not releasing Good DLC after the games launch is what killed it now they want to do it all over again... sorry for the long comment but I am a classic grid 2008 fan I am thinking of making a video about grid games to lol, great video man :)

[@BoostedTV]

I agree completely! Here’s hoping Legends is better. And really? You definitely should make Grid content. Let me know when you do, I’ll sub to you.

[@Spacedraptor]

I prefer Grid Legends. I think Grid lacks any kind of personality. I own all the Grid game & some Toca games too been with the series for a while. I agree Grid is more about the racing than the cars. Great video 👍

[@BoostedTV]

Thanks ! That means a lot

[@toninhopavan2]

I have a g29 steering wheel and this game is great when my friends want to play something Other games like project cars 2 , f1 , acc are to complicated for noobs to play

[@1xRacer]

I played it and hated it. Played it again and still hated it. Then a little while ago I tried it one last time and absolutely loved it!! I still enjoy it. I think I was just expecting something different before but once I appreciated it for what it is, it's super fun.

[@BoostedTV]

I completely missed it when it originally came out. I just didn’t hear anything about the game. I only found out now because I ran across it on game pass.

[@charlesjohnson5217]

Hopefully they can and will add cross play to the franchise

[@johncrafton8319]

When you speak of Forza, you appear to be speaking of Forza Horizon - a specifically different kind of game than Grid. Forza Motorsport is an actual "Racing" game. Please try Forza Motorsport (or even Forza Motorsport 7) to get an idea of what Forza is about. Also, please note that Forza Motorsport (the racing game) has been out for far longer than Forza Horizon (an open-world car-culture game).

[@BoostedTV]

I will check it out. 😅. Thanks

[@Baardmans_1]

Really a hidden gem. Love this game. The sound and aesthetics are better than forza. Although the handling and heavy feel is sadly true

[@archangel9187]

This game was actually really good. 🙃

[@Abel_Unstable]

Grid 1 so good not even the sequels can be as good. Grid 2 is fine but the handling ruins it. Autosport is Great but Single Player portion sucks. Grid 2019 is a 100gb mobile game on PC.

[@BoostedTV]

I never got around to playing Autosport. Think it’s worth giving it a try ?

[@Hords]

@@BoostedTV Not really, Its been pulled from all stores & half the content was made into DLC's which you can no longer buy without either pirating the entire game or buying them from shady 2nd hand key sellers.

[@BoostedTV]

@@Hords oh… well I will remove it from the list. Thanks

[@banjax-fgc]

I never liked auto sport tbh. Grid 1 was great. Grid 2, with a little change in handling was fun too

[@RacerC45]

Hey! I enjoyed that game.

[@theNEWguy102]

I wouldn't say "no one" played it, that'd suggest no one even picked it up which certainly wouldn't be true

[@benn87]

I recently got it out again to refresh my memory and give the game another chance. What I don't like are the curbs. In addition, on some street courses there are strange bumps or stone pads in the middle of the racing line. This makes your car suddenly unstable. Another point of criticism is the sparse choice of tracks and cars, as well as the boring presentation. Then there is the cooperation with Fernando Alonso. However, he is so badly integrated into the game that he is almost not noticeable at all...

[@BoostedTV]

I completely agree.

[@andyp6834]

Awesome game 👍

[@KevinAbillGaming]

Comparing this to Legends, I think Legends is a slight improvement from this.

[@BoostedTV]

I agree! I had a lot of fun online with legends

[@rajeev_kumar]

This is a good game

[@mravg79]

A bit over a thousand players? WOW I didn’t new it was that bad. I tried the game during a free weekend (or weekends) this is a January spike in player count. And while there is nothing I can pin point and wrong about the game it simply did not click with me. I was not able to match the settings and get good enough understanding of gaining a full control over cars. So I dropped it. With the next game grid legends I has more fun and spent more time in it.

[@TheRabbit301rzzue]

Does anybody play this ín 2022 or ím the only one

[@BoostedTV]

I think you’re the only one my friend 🤣. There are a few stragglers. But most of the community have moved over to Legends

[@TheRabbit301rzzue]

Well I bought this instead of legends

[@6fthondaboi]

I always enjoyed it, but yea it's not as fun when no one's online, its 3 guys that play online here and there we always have good races

[@BoostedTV]

Yep, my exact same experience. If you play Xbox we should play sometime.

[@kijimoshisan]

WTF - no one?! im playing it - good arcade game!

[@BoostedTV]

Yes it’s so hard for me to find games online

[@K3ntucky123]

would they rather play new GRID with repetitiveness Track?... or play Gran turismo license test over and over again

[@BoostedTV]

I actually havent played a GT game in years

[@SF.Automotive]

Great video! How much would you say its worth to pick it up for? Under $15?

[@BoostedTV]

Definitely don’t pay anything more than $15 considering Grid: Legends comes out in a couple of weeks. Thanks for commenting!

[@metalcrocs2333]

Reason why I don't play Forza 5 online races well because they think it's burnout paradise or GTA or something but I play the shit outta grid 2 might give this game a try.

[@BoostedTV]

I think you should! It's still free on Gamepass, so why not.

[@Denes2005]

10:58 gta online seems to do just fine

[@BoostedTV]

Yea I feel that, GTA Online is also like 8 years old at this point too. Lol it also averages A LOT more concurrent players than Grid.

[@stevemartin953]

Always played grid game

[@BoostedTV]

Thanks for the comment! I’m running a giveaway for Grid: Legends, all you have to do is comment on my most recent video. 💪

[@csh9853]

I still play it.

[@thegrandpoobaa4847]

Let's just start w/ that goofy ass handling model they had

[@BoostedTV]

Yea. All the cars feel like they have rear wheel steering, not to mention the death curbs.

[@manostororosso2364]

Wait wait.... Forza Motorsport has not tyre degradation ,fuel consumption? Pit stops? I thought it wanted to be a simulator but it looks like its closer to PC3 than GT...

[@BoostedTV]

Forza actually DOES feature all of that, it’s just not implemented very well. Make sure you comment on my newest video where I go over all of the new features of Grid Legends. When you comment you’re automatically entered to win a free copy of the game. Thanks for commenting.

[@kangarojack3814]

The story mode is sad an embarrassing compared to GT

[@carlrhxphn]

Good review except it exemplifies one big problem with racing games now a days. The lack of good music. You didn't even mention Music in your review. Earlier racing games had fantastic memorable soundtracks that you either still remember or at least found a song you liked. It was a huge part of the fun in the early PlayStation, Saturn, and Xbox generation especially with Ridge Racer type 4 probably one of the best video game soundtracks ever. The Project Gotham Series (which I would say this is the closest comparison to Grid) had tons of artist and music that I heard for the first time and became fans of. In the future when reviewing racing games please mention if it has good music. Looking forward to what you think of GT7.

[@BoostedTV]

You know what, honestly, I think Grid 2019’s music was so unmemorable that it didn’t even cross my mind. I literally can’t even think of a single song from the game. I’ll definitely keep that in mind.

[@kknbk5133]

I got to wondering playing Grid 2019 whether or not Ladyhawke's 'My Delirium' from 2008 was somewhat borrowed for the prerace music.

[@edsonormmota]

Becase we have great simulators like asserto Corsa pcars automovilista with amazing insiste cameras We neet tô fell like a real Race driver Asserto Corsa competisione starts not só great bu now we can see How amazing he became

[@BoostedTV]

Yep, Asseto Corza is a pretty good game. Thank you for commenting

[@Mark-mt4xt]

It's like they don't even try to make grid a good game. It either has a lack of cars or tracks or modes. A game like asseto can allow itself to have less cars or tracks because they are almost like real life but an arcade game where you can throw a random layout and call it a track really has no excuse.

[@BoostedTV]

Yea I agree with that. hopefully they've learned from their past mistakes and the new game will be better.
