Hey guys,

saw this game at EB when i went to get GTA4..

Has anyone played it?? From what ive seen on youtube clips it seems pathetic... like really really shit.

The cars sound like different brand vacume cleaners and the handling looks similar to the 2fast 2 furious need for speed crap.

But yeah, thought this game was coming out in like august wasnt it?

Dean, exactly why I don't bother with the codemasters racing stuff anymore mate. Race Drivers 1 and 2 were massive disappointments, simply being ports from platform games so the steering and braking are nonlinear.

Avoid their product and get the good ones like are being discussed in my online racing league thread.

sorry if this is a dead thread but i was a manager at an EB Games store for a while, what you saw was a dummy box to let everyone know what is "coming soon" (would have been in the coming soon section with blue "coming soon" signs on the racks)

just so we are clear i HATE games like juiced, juiced 2, NFS, and the like for there completely disgusting handling and just lack of tuner culture knowledge, Forza 1 and 2 FTW

i have played the demo on Xbox Live, and it is one of the sweetest games iv ever played! and cant wait for it to come out

Looks like we have a GT5 killer not that GT5 was any good anyway.

Lol that is the most stupid thing i heard in this thread. Try take a corner in GT5 at over 150 and you will crash, do it in Racer Grid and you will fly round the coner without lifting off the accelerator. I downloaded the demo. Had one race and found it to be the shitteist game ever, deleted it 5 minutes later.

GT5 was a simulater, this game is just another need for speed.

I've been playing the demo today. It's actually pretty cool, the drifting is better than GT5 IMO. Depends what you're into though.

Stick with GT5 if you're into your simulators.

The replay mode is pretty cool and that little 'rewind' function was pulled off much better than Midnight Club did (or was it Burnout, can't remember).

I can see me getting over it in a week or so however.

But yeh to answer your question. Comes out on June 12th.

In regards to a GT Killer.... NOT EVEN CLOSE, Personally I don't think GRID is a NFS killer. I must admit though I am addicted to drifting the S15 in the demo and just to let you know how easy it is my current highest drift score on the 3 laps is 18.5 Million. The hardest boss for drift in the demo gets around 1.5-1.7 million just so you can compare.

I should have made my post a little more specific.

I meant in terms of gameplay and graphics, obviously the game style is different one being so called sim and the other arcade style and cannot be compared to one another in that regard.

Regardless gt5 is just a demo if and when it comes out i am sure all its flawed elements will be ironed out.

Feast ur eyes... (not for ghey speed internet connections tho) as it's a HD clip...

The bit at the end I call plain cheating, but the graphics are so sweet!

A birdy told me it is already available. :D

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
