I'm not going to get into some huge debate about piracy, it's not the thread for it and I'd be a hypocrite to slam others when I've pirated things in the past myself. I simply brought it up with him specifically for the reason I mentioned.

not debating just responding no disresepct

 

[boomee]

wow pretty good reveiws my game isnt gonna be here till the 30th though oh well

 

[SlowInFastOut]

just started racing online, my first time playing Grid and wow LOL coming from GT and iRacing it feels incredible twitchy and weird, the cars handle absolutely nothing like a car remotely would, oversteer and countersteering feel really bad, but with that said i understand it's meant to be arcadey, and online races are a blast anyway, would recommend it.

 

[Shigegaki]

I am still trying to get us our own thread under the other racing games sub forums. Anyone getting Grid 2 for PS3? I am going to be picking mine up in a hour. Add me @ GTP_Shigegaki.

 

[anim8r_uk]

Graphically it's Shift 2 looking but driving physics are strictly arcade. Game got good reviews though 👍

add me as well PSn doberman1978

I haven't preordered it. I want to know YOUR views first.

No pressure guys

 

[FuzzyFassbender]

Only spent a few minutes, but the graphics, environments, and presentation looks great on the PC - everything turned up to Ultra. Very smooth and no slowdowns that I could see.
Not a sim and that is fine, I can get that with something else. I liked the first Grid, this looks much better.

 

[LogiForce]

I just tried the game as well.
Personally I found that it reminded me of Dirt Showdown (especially gameplay wise), but than with city tracks, some point-to-point country tracks and a few circuits.

Already had my first hang of the game as well after 4 or 5 races.

Will I buy it? Not for the 40 euros it is at now as pre-order. Probably when it's dropped to about 20 bucks.
I do enjoy it. But it's a gamepad arcade racing game in my opinion, and I like to use my wheel with racing games.

That said, I think there will be loads of people that will enjoy this title for sure. Though everyone has their own likes/dislikes and points of attention in games. So each should judge for themselves what they are willing to spend on this game, or if they wish to own a copy at all.

 

[Shigegaki]

Alright for the PS3 at least, my codes don't work yet. I am guessing then the PSN store needs to go through the weekly update.

 

[Chiochan]

Me too. I don't know if I should start single player with out the online pass?? Will it mess up anything?
I started the WRC.

 

[sailworksman]

A quick glance this morning and a bit of gameplay, the g27 works fantastic, even with the default settings. I did not fine tune it, but for the first few races it was really good. More updates later.

 

[Shigegaki]

Just do WRC for now, we will play online soon enough

 

[Musolini187]

Is there a demo out?

Also the best arcade racers are from sega.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

As soon as I heard they removed the interiors, this became a non purchase. I might rent it.

Thats what I'm hoping.

 

[FLX1981]

Game got good reviews though 👍

Yeah, I wonder how much they cost them. The only racing site that reviewed it so far (RD) gave it a 6/10 and the review sounded very reasonable.

Sad but true. Bummer. They were so sweet in Grid.

Yes the interior views were excellent in Grid.

One quick question: are the drifting events as embarassingly short and lame (physics wise) throughout the entire game as recent YouTube uploads suggest or does it get better and longer as you progress?

 

[Downhill Dino]

I pre-ordered mine last night as a last minute purchase from GameStop. Should be here tomorrow, would be great to race you guys down the road. 👍

 

[BubbleBelly542]

Been watching gameplay online and it looks pretty disappointing. I don't know about this... Glad I didn't preorder or plan on getting it today.

it seems that way, drifting is really lame to be honest, basically when you get sideways there's no way to hold your trajectory and angle at the same time, countersteering even with full throttle will turn the car the other way rather than keep the back end out as you give it gas like it should, the online racing is a blast though, especially on the tight mountainous tracks.

 

[MCNAGTROC]

im debating running out to pick it up.. ive put $30 on it at gamestop because i wanted the SPecV GTR pack but i could always roll that over to last of us in a couple weeks

so you guys are saying the preorder codes dont work?

 

[SlowInFastOut]

i've seen a lot of people online with the DLC codes (PS3) so i'm assuming they work.

Oh. Not surprised but still, it's a shame. I'd wish they didn't dumb down the drifting further.

Just read somewhere that Grid 2 is the worlds most expensive video game. It was on my home page (aol)
