Ah. That's not good.![]()
My main concern is that they just straight up remove most of the sim elements that made project cars so important to me. Looks like the pitlane has been closed off here so does that mean every race now is just going to be these 5 minute /2-3 lap maximum sprint races? If so then it'll be a hard pass for me. I love my Le Mans endurance style stuff![]()
You're not the only one being pessimistic. I enjoy league racing on PCARS2 and the closed-off pitlane we see in games like Grid and Shift don't fill me with much confidence. I'm guessing it's a Madness engine but there doesn't seem to be the advertisement of the capabilities of that engine through the elements.Oh boy, I don't want to be pessimistic, but this is very strange. The announcement is on such a short notice, it looks very arcadey (which isn't necessarily bad, but concerning that the series is taking such a hard pivot). Do we even know if this is running on Madness Engine or Codemasters' engine? If it's still Madness, well, PC2 looks pretty bad on base consoles compared to the PC version, so I'm not sure why releasing it on current consoles would be a good idea. If it's Codemasters' engine, F1 2019 looks very good on consoles, GRID does not. It seems like the game wants to occupy the same space as Forza Motorsport, but also from the gameplay looks a lot like the last GRID...
SMS is very good at some things and very poor at other things, and the same can be said about Codemasters, so best case scenario is they combine the best capabilities of both studios and produce a good game, or it's very bad, or it's somewhere in the middle and probably still just mediocre at best.
Probably best to steer clear until the next-gen version is ready. No footage is a warning sign.Man, ACC had better be good on console.

The racing in the gameplay video was done with a controller, it's clear as day. That may be why it looks odd.Was hyped with the first vid less so with the gameplay vid its hard to tell but it looks jenky could be the players inputs though... I really want this to be good fingers crossed the gameplay and pad implementation are better... Hopefully there will be a demo to allay pad users fears...
On the plus side there wasn't a huge AI pileup at turn 1 at Interlagos.
We're not.Uhhhh...
Are we gonna ignore the fact that apparently they are reusing Havana from GRID 2019?
Please.... PLEASE work on a Gamepad this time
Shanghai Street Circuit from GRID![]()
We're not.
