got the demo of race driver grid last night.

can't really say much as my PC doesn't really like it (poor old thing)

the drifting is cool, much better than need for speeds effort. I think it will be much better when a steering wheel or controller is used.

any one else tried it where it actually runs more than 30 seconds at a time?

yeah, i want to try it on the console before i buy it.

i have a feeling its going to have an arcadey feeling and have the same shitty storyline with fictional series in it.

the drift is fun, and the graphics are great. The crashes look awesome

when i play with all the graphics on low i get really bad frame rate every 30 seconds for 5-10 seconds (3-4 fps)

the replays after the races look awesome aswell, a good camera on the rear bumper, so you can see when you are using handbrake on entry of a corner

I've been playing it on the PS3 - drifting is great fun in it - not as easy/cheesy as Need for Speed's effort, handling to/while drifting is MUCH better than NFS, damage and car getting dirty is great much better than Forza 2, graphics is good, the replay is fun to muck around with.....

The circuit racing in this game is... RUBBISH! The car's handling/physics is way out of whacked.

All i had to do was see a few you tube clips to see how **** this game is.

It seems more arcadey than Daytona at timezone. Makes me sick. All these panzies concentrate on these days is F***ING graphics.

If ferarri challenge is also like this im dead set gonna sell my PS3 and go all out on my PC. Thats where the REAL car games are.

IMO

This is what NFS SHOULD have been.

I find the drifting in this to be quiet fun but as mentioned the Circuit racing has alot left to be desired.

Either way i'll probably still purchase this one and if its bad after the 1st week i'll take it back on EB's 7 day return policy and put the money on Metal Gear Solid

iv been playing this demo on 360 for a couple of days now and i cant stop playing it!

the drifting is awesome, as for the circuit racing, the BMW one is boring as bat s**t but the mustang track is great fun even if you just try to have a massive crash to watch the cars fly everywhere, its a hell-of-a-lot-a-fun

3 thumbs up from me :woot:

    • Hey @Butters, did you end up getting this clutch in ? I have just ordered to a uniclutch track to go in my getrag 6 speed that’s in my BNR 32     
    • I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive
    • Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?
    • This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.
    • I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
