Grid was great, grid was the racing game that GT6 wasn't for me. GT6 was about modding, Grid was great racing.
And it's back...
I hope this add is hype though, too much arcade and not so much racer. Though as per my previous post on Dirt4, a relaxed setup isn't the end of the world. Cars that don't behave as they do in real life is though. Codemasters, please don't mess this up, slicks grip OK?!
Looking at the last iteration it was also fairly hyped, but a bit more 'autosport' going on.
And here's a blast from the past, me, VE holden racing at Bathurst, I'd say until this generation the best racing on the hill on a console by far (for the love of all holey, don't do Shift Unleashed's version)...
Apologies for cataract filter - not only is it on a PS3 but the record and replay process was akin to passing prison hooch through a sock to make it taste better... which it doesn't (doesn't for red at home either, for science).
So what to think. I think to topple the crown of PCars2 on PS4 is a good call, if they do that then Codemasters will have a good run into a sequel on PS5 (or whatever it's called). And of Assetto? Dead to consoles I think which is a shame, but not surprised, maybe next gen. GT Sport? LOL it's just an arcade game, which I think this will sit above somewhat (as a racer if nothing else). And GTR3 from Simbin? That's not going to happen, their site is not updated since early in the year when they posted up an advert for new developers. To be this late in the current console generation lifecycle you'd wait, test and do a launch title for the next - that's smart thinking, though no doubt they could use the coin from the PS4/XB1 brigade no doubt.
One thing is for sure, we didn't see this coming, and that can't be bad - always time for another player in the game.
