GRID LEGENDS

[sirjim73]

Scrolling the Internet it seems like this is the last Grid game. EA is mainly focusing on F1 & WRC. I think they will also continue Need for Speed

I hope not. There's definitely a gap in the market next year for a GRID game. There's nothing well known for a driving game until ACE and PMR neither of which will get full release till at least ?2026?

So far it looks deader than a door knob. Grid Legends didn't sell well either or least to EAs expectations so that didn't help.

Being a little tired of gt7 I decide too give grid legends another try this time on my ps5 pro not ps4 and wow I must say it looks great.

Grid Legends can be fun especially you get nemesises and they try to wreck through out the race

Gonna be honest: There have been times where I intentionally made one angry (Its usually a Ravenwest driver or Rick Scott, because all my homies hate Ravenwest) and then immediately proceed to make some dicey passes on some cars in front just to put a blockade between me and them

I think have about fur of them and it always fun trying to navigate between them and try to get other cars in between me & them 🤣

It's great fun until you start behind all your nemeses on a street circuit and they constantly ram you into the walls. I tried one race about 20 times trying to get past, finally realized it was better to tank race 1 so I could start the 2nd one at the front. It's a really dumb game at times.

I mostly like the racing but the career is just a bit too dull and repetitive going through rookie, semi-pro, pro, etc. For all those GT7 fans wanting a return to GT League like this, be careful what you wish for.

The 120fps setting is very nice with my new TV. Don't really notice the drop in resolution, an advantage of the less photo-realistic style.

My takes on recreating liveries with what's available in the editor:

Team WRT

STP Taisan

Cetilar Racing

Proton Competition

Heart of Racing

Yeah it can be kinda of repetitive and grindy the economy here is crappy as well. I did find a way to get some credits fairly quickly though. I will at least say the car prices in the game are not as bad as GT7. They do have a nice selection of cars though. I love the race creator and being able to set up 4 races at a time. So you can kinda sort of set up a championship
edit: also you can use all of the cars in that mode unlike GT7 where is is cars you own for the most part

The Story mode races seem to be the quickest way to earn cash. I'm a late starter, have been playing the weekly events to level up and using cash from the story mode to buy the team/driver upgrades first, before I start on the main game.

There's a story mode race I think it is 22 or 23 where it is an elimination race with the open wheel car. You start in 1st place and if you go off to right on to the grass you get eliminated but your teammate will get somewhere near the top and you get like 12000 -14000 cr for 10 seconds. Make sure you leave the race and don't restart or you won't be able to keep your money. I use this when I when I want to get some quick credits. All told between the race and leaving the race may take like 30 seconds. So you can get a lot of money really quick. I posted the exact method somewhere in this thread but I haven't found it yet. Also I have read if you drive backwards you get DQed faster

 

[Fezzik]

Money isn't the main issue for getting the cars, it's the sometimes really dumb sponsor requirements to unlock the events.

 

[GTvsForza]

I'm just doing what's available first, then I'll work on the Sponsors

Wow cool, I've never played this game before, it reminds me of Midnight Club. I played that game on the ps2 a lot back in the 2010's. I'll have to research more about this Grid Legends game online and on Wikipedia.

Grid is completely different to Midnight Club. For starters, Midnight Club was an open world street racing series. You could customise your car (or bike) inside and out in order to crash and bash your way to the line. I loved Midnight Club 3 because of the total chaos that could ensue at the drop of a hat. You can't beat it.

I would describe it more as being like Gran Turismo or Forza Motorsport but less "serious" and having a lot more "personality". It has a cheesy story mode and a deep career mode. The DLC cars included the Autozam AZ-1, which isn't even featured in Gran Turismo anymore!
