Conflicted Rev

For its full title: Grid - the latest Grid, not the first Grid, or the Grid that's Autosport and being released on the Switch.

I can see why they're calling it "Grid" in fact.

Anyway, it's new, and it's out soon.

Other than Jimmy's dodgy sound issues in his voiceover, this is quite a respectable race:

 And so there it is. not bad. Certainly not a sim though, and I think I'm conflicted on this game...

• Looks great
• "200Mph" seriously?!
• Close racing
• Nemesis malarkey means insta crash maybe?
• Good wheel support clearly
• Physics are relaxed

I'm interested to see what an open-wheel car race looks like, drifting in an F1 car or similar would be a bad thing.

And in fact, what about fwd - TCR cars are in this game, which is awesome, but if they handle like a fake thing that'll be a shame, and same for V8s as they're in there too.

I'm concerned this game will become a "if only they did the handling right, the content is exceptional game" - and on that, enter GT Sport. I can't reconcile what I watch with what I experience, and I've certainly tried. The video below, a great race, and well commentated. But cars for me just don't handle like this, what's going wrong in my gaming life?!!?
