Danny_S Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 So Codemasters have announced a new GRID game is coming in June! It's going to be called "GRID Autosport" and will be a blend of the recent arcade racer GRID 2 but mostly the old TOCA games from back in the day! They mention they are going back to a more authentic racing/handling experience than the recent games and personally I can't wait to see more on this! http://blog.codemasters.com/grid/04/introducing-grid-autosport/ I know some of us have started playing GRID 2 together so this section could be interesting.... "Powered by RaceNet you’ll be able to join with friends to form Racing Clubs and race under team colours against other clubs in the community." Oh and one more thing.... COCKPIT VIEW!

Dingo Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Sounds good loved the original TOCA before they started messing up the physics in 2 and subsequent games Was playing a bit of Grid last night to check it out its fun and all but whats the story with power sliding making you go faster, that's just weird and hard to get used to after playing proper racing sims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_S Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 It is marketed as an Arcade Racer so it's not too surprising it behaves like that. I am looking forward to seeing more on the new handling setups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cain Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Good thing I staved off buying grid 2. Hurray for more authentic racing, hope it's less arcadey than grid 2. Might well pick it up if it looks good near release. Danny_S and razgriz33 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Wasn't going to get it as it's €25 on steam but found a key vendor selling it @ €5.99 so it was either that or go go monkeys pocket lint death arena simulator or something equally silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny_S Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 I've never had a problem with GRID 2 really, yes there are some pretty silly issues but as something to play for a bit of fun it's good. Looking forward to this new one though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to this new one though! Grid 2 was one of worst AAA racing games ever made. Compered to Grid 1 it is utter shit. It might have been fun, but not on the level of Codemasters. You need to compare this to Forza and GT. Not simulation wise, but quality wise. I really hope they are going back to the roots. Looks like they are going to. So I am exited!

Dingo Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yeah if they can make it a crossbreed of Fortza's (that t people use anoys me) / GT' garage and a decent / simple photoshop livery editor and any of the SimBin titles physics wise it'll be excellent, at the moment GTR2 & Race room are my favourite racers, Acetto Corsa is catching up but needs some more tweaking in the physics imo the cars seem to be a bit floaty and spin happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_S Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Just to clarify, the new GRID will not be a simulator, it will be a few steps closer to that side of things than the Race Driver games but by no means will it be a Racing Sim. There is a Eurogamer video which explains some things pretty well... Difficult for me to compare to GT and Forza as I have only played GT5 (Which I didn't enjoy) and never played any Forza game.

David Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Ah, looks like the fun police are already on scene. GRID 2 definitely has some issues, all but 1 doesn't affect gameplay and that one just baits hilarity. It's a fun game and when the fun police clock off they might actually enjoy it, even if they refuse to admit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cain Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm not looking for a racing sim at all, but I really didn't like GRID 2's super arcadey-feel, especially with those weird drift-type races and the like. From that video, it does look like the new GRID is much less arcadey, but definitely not a race-sim, which sounds pretty great. Definitely liking the cockpit view too, and more proper motorsport!

Danny_S Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 Yeah, I have Assetto Corsa for when I want a simulation experience so this middle ground looks really good for me! Can't wait to drive the open-wheel cars and also the Touring Cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzo {JTF2} Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Still seeing if this one might be worth a buy... Liked GRID 1 and 2, if the hype is good, I'm going in. Danny_S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
