Grid is "the most exciting racing game ever made" says Chief Game Designer

Speaking to ButtonBandits.com, Chief Game Designer Ralph Fulton has said that he believes forthcoming title GRID is the most exciting racing game ever made and that competing titles such as Forza and Gran Tourismo are all about the car list rather than racing.

hahaha, that comment is the first to actually make me laugh.

Personaly I feel that motorstorm was much more exciting, but it's a different type of game so I shouldn't really be saying that in here.

I agree, Motorstorm is the most exciting racing game currently. Grid is like an arcade game with some simulation aspects. Its almost having an identity crisis. Codemasters did go the right route however, because simulation racing is sort of for the die hard race fans. I love tuning, but I don't want to have to calculate the angel on how I should brake when doing a right turn at 100mph.

Can't wait for motorstorm 2 and on a side note Wipeout HD.

1.3 - I like the look of GRID...

...the demo was fun, the graphics pretty solid. I may just have to pick it up for some arcade driving thrills.

As for Motorstorm, it just didn't hook me in. Sure it was fun and some of the graphics were great but it was missing replays, time trials and nearly everything else many have come to expect in a racing game. I especially disliked races where you were forced to use a motorbike. Bikes in motorstorm were pretty naff.

Best arcade racing/rally game is still Rallisport Challenge 2 in my opinion.

I actually prefer Dirt and GT5P, Dirt is a very good rally game, and GT5P is a very very good simulator. Grid is trying to be somewhere in the middle and isn't that good.

This is the chief designers opinion so it's obviously biased.

Going off the demo its a pretty decent racer on the lines of PGR. The controls take alittle getting used to but the graphics are sharp.

Wow a Chief Game Designer singing his own praises? Imagine that!!

In my opinion, this guy is a f*cking retard, and his quote is a direct insult to the MILLIONS of man hours Polyphony Digital puts into mastering their craft.

NOTHING can touch Gran Turismo, no matter WHO you are.

This guy needs to learn some respect for the proven best in the industry.

Serious disrespect.

Why do game developers have to be bullies? Why can't they just build themselves up without tearing others down to do so?

Why must we all return to middle-school mentalities? Bullying solves nothing....it usually just comes back to bite you in the ass.

So far....GRID is getting mediocre reviews, and this pompous prick is eating his words.

Agreed, ALL developers should eat a nice piece of humble pie and look at how Insomniac's attitude toward gaming is. Infinity Ward is heading in a nice direction as well. However, as long as we have fanboy mediocre developers like Valve gaming will not advance fast enough. Bubbles for you.

7.7 - You guys are idiots

Are Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport the only racing sims you ever heard of? Theres tons more and not to mention the ones that are only on PC. I can assure you Gran Turismo is far off from being the best one and only driving sim, and it's not known for having the best physics, AI, online, etc out of any racing game either

But i'm defiantly not saying GT5 (or Forza Motorsport 2) are bad games either, they're defiantly the best CONSOLE racing sims on both platforms

I think Grid is a great game for casual racers.

Gt5 is great and all, but it is hard for an average person to just pick up the game and play. Its more suitable for the hardcore people, and people who just enjoy driving their own bomb of a car in game.

GRID looks like an excellent game for casual racers. I only play racing games when I have my buddies over for a beer. I found GRID a lot more forgiving and a lot more better for laughs than gt5.

However that said, i think GT5 is still the epitome of realistic car racing.

9.1 - Your right, but wrong.

About the hardcore thing. People like realism. It is not a "hardcore" racing genre. Need proof. How abou GT selling 50M copies.

And martini, that video is so biased its an insult to PD. They used to worst cars for GTP in that vid haha.

11 - Grid is "the most exciting racing game ever made" says Chief Game Designer

yeah...and you suck! GRID is DIRT with street racing and more an arcade racing game! comparing an arcade game to a sim game like GT and forza is pointless. you can compare yourself to NFS but never GT! GT5:P gave 70 highly detailed (minus damage which will be available later) cars with rock solid 1080p 60fps at $40 but you gave 45 cars which you considered as 'a lot' for a full game using DIRT(2006) engine and claimed victory? yeah...you suck!! GRID will be lucky to sell a million

16 - Been playing the full game ...

... all weekend and its awesome! I picked up the PS3 version on sunday and havent put the controller down since. I think the games comparable to PGR2 for the close racing and fun factor that most of this generations games have been missing. Team mate A.I. is spot on, the single seaters bode well for Codemasters F1 game next year and the Branding and Team design may not be as in depth as Forza but at least i can make a cool looking car in 2 minutes and get back to the racing!

I will be trading the PS3 version for the 360 one on release day as the shop i bought it from only received the PS3 version early. In my opinion the framerate isn't much better than the demo and of course i'd rather be racing over xbox live than PSN.

4 - Grid is garbage

It can't decide if it wants to be a simulation/arcade racer.

The tracks are narrow and overcrowded w/ cars, everytime you make a turn you can count on someone smashing into you.

Grid will never be better than TOCA. Codemasters should have just made a sequel to that game.
