GRID 2019

[evldave333]

No sens of turining off damage. It is actually very hard to damage any of components of the car. Which is bad in my opinion. It is no way near damage from original GRID.

I agree about damage, but its a arcade racer not a sim in any way, and as such is better played "wreckfest style" given the pure cheek monster of the AI, each to their own though... I would also recommend cranking up the games difficulty, or you will be leading the pack after the first lap of every race in this game...

Original GRID was also arcade and i think damage in that game was one of the best

I like wreckfest and dirt 2 best for damage this gen... the bent chasis when it crabs in wreckfest is awesome, and trying to finish a stage on three wheels in dirt 2 is complete madness... I hope they sequel grid for the new generation and improve its physics / damage its fun for a bit but not long lasting because its too simplistic... just a late night, low concentration kinda game...

Just picked this up for €9,99 in the PSN. Ready tot give it another try. Wasn't to fond on the démo 1,5 years ago but hey for a small price it must be worth it

it's a good game for that price. you'll get hours of fun out of it. But it will become quite boring after a while, as there are only two game modes.

this is true. The base and setting of the game is very solid. Even driving model is very enjoyable in my opinion. The bighedt flaw and fun killer is just barebones content. Even with all DLCs this game is getting repetitive very quickly.

for 10 bucks it is a great game although the ultimate version is recommended for more content. .

Just finished the main career and all of the 3DLCS last week on Hard difficulty. It becomes really challenging at the end with the faster cars on really tight tracks and the need to finish 1st.

In terms of racing the AI I think it is the best racing game out there at the moment.

yeah I also love AI in this game. It feels very real, they are some times a little bit too agresive but it still feels natural with all mistakes they make.

Did you play Grid Autosport ? How does the AI compare ? I thought it was great in GAS, always attacking, lungeing & diving for last minute braking attempts, getting it wrong, driving off the road crashing etc. It felt like I was in a true fight most of the time...

I think it is very similar + it have random situations like tyre blow/crash/spin-off etc. Some times those actions are scripted, but they add a lot of atmosphere and excitement to race.

I would love to see simplified directed Pit-Stops in next GRID games with this "race director" imagine seeing AI car having pit problems or something.

I've seen the tracks are free DLC for the standard version and the 12 extra cars aren't really worth it.

There are some nice cars there, if there is chance to take ultimate edition for with discount then why not?

 

[Emick81]

The cars are pretty good and it adds 3 seasons of SP content. It gives you more purpose as a player.

Of course every person has to decide for himself if its worth the extra money.

I've seen the DLC but for me it isn't worth it. The Stratos and some old US Muscle will provide €10 fun

I bought the game in the PS Store for US$12, i just played some hours and the first impression is not the best.
Looks it have a very repetitive career and this thing make me lazy.
Choce category - choose a car - win 2 races against suicide IA and that's it, repeat this 300 times.

That's a fair representation of Grid. Later events can have 3 or 4 races, and sometimes there are 2,3 or 4 time trials. In the dlc there is even the odd 'endurance race.'

 

[EamerRed]

£6 in the summer sale on PSN. Tried the trial and it was quite enjoyable, what do we reckon? Is it worth £6 and then £3/£4 (can't remember which) for the ultimate edition upgrade?

 

[NoStopN]

I've only done about a half dozen series. It's OK fun, but I haven't played it in months. Probably worth the price on sale rather than full price.

Someone reach the Platinum of the game? that trophy "Around the Globe" is a pain in the neck

If you really want it, use this method and save yourself from boredom/insanity.

Recently downloaded the demo after scrolling through PSN.



One of three videos going up today as I tackle the three races seperately on slightly increased difficulty:



Edit: And here's Video #2:

Please note that GRID 2019 is being withdrawn from EA Play via Gamepass Ultimate on Xbox before end of November.

GRID Legends remains though.

I've long since bought the game outright anyway.

UPDATE: Grid was delisted on 30 November and is no longer available for purchase on Xbox store

(presume this is due to expiring licences - 2019 release, so it's now 4 years old, this was also the timeframe for Forza games being withdrawn until recently).

 

[Nacho Libre]

Well, for what is worth, GRID exists within GRID Legends, and everyone should check it out (especially if you are disappointed with Forza Motorsport).

Yes, the only notable content that didn’t make it over is Silverstone.

Which is a bit sad, but indeed GRID Legends kinda made GRID 2019 obsolete (apart from Silverstone but it’s got a lot more in return too).

Having had enough of FOMO23 on my Series S, I've just used the career reset option to restart the game, which leaves me with all this...

...to work through.
When I finish that, I'm planning to do the same with Grid Legends.

I did a race in the classic Mini first, followed by the first open wheel race. For all this is an "arcade" game, the 2 vehicles drive completely differently. The classic Mini wants to float out wide on corners and you have to fight to pull it round, whereas the open wheeler likes to lock up the brakes and with the smaller front wheels, it's prone to leave you pointing to the left at a 90 degree angle if you brake too hard and late.
I'm not sure I class that as arcade in the true sense, the handling is too distinct and pronounced.
If it's not considered simcade, its atleast an arculator?

This might be useful for @Jtheripper as ( disclaimer - this is all from memory) the handling in Grid Legends is basically the same (someone correct me if that's not correct please).

Interestingly multiplayer is still live and available on this game, although you'll not find other players online (well I didn't when I looked anyway).

PS I had to chuckle again seeing all the accolades to unlock and remembering how that was lifted hook line and sinker by Forza Horizon they didn't even bother to change the name

EDIT: Should mention that I'm playing using Series Controller on Series S.

Thanks for thinking of my asking about grid legends hehe, appreciate it sirjim sir.✌️👍

I know i criticize often games that are less sim or hardcore, or hard.
But im enjoying different and all kinds of games, if the game tries to give good gameplay and fair fun challenge.
Edit: and respects players/consumers with well polished games.

The baja/trophy trucks, or stadium trucks maybe it is in grid legends, seem fun especially.
Id love a game based on the baja 1000 race.

Anyhow, at least it has different tracks from the usual sim ones.
As long as the ai also is a nice challenge in career mode.
I read in story mode it's too easy, slow.

Also im playing the less sim games with a controller, it fits them better mostly it seems.

I just re-downloaded dirt4 and its really good with a controller. Landrush, rallycross, a kind of gymkana challenge mode too, although its pretty hard handling with no aids still.

Peace sir.😁

Oh I loved GRID 2019 - excellent car sounds with dramatically realistic visuals and fun driving feel stole my heart. Too bad they retired it from the Xbox Store.
