Race Driver: GRID previewed by PC Gamer

There's a strange look of embarrassment spreading across lead designer Ralph Fulton's face. It stands out from his otherwise giddy and enthusiastic presentation. "So, when you complete a race category you unlock a one-on-one race against, ah, Ravenwest Motors," he says. "They're the sort of bad guys in the game. These races are like boss fights."

He had nothing to look shifty about. This was just confirmation that GRID is going to continue the cheesy rivalries of ToCA: Race Driver, and it was the plot that made that game stand out in the first place. If the team want something to be embarrassed about, PC Gamer nominates their dropping of the ToCA name for a subtitle that sounds kind of edgy but means absolutely nothing.

i hope it comes to ps3. for sure it isn't going to come on xbox 360

[Boldy]

It's coming out for both the PS3 and Xbox 360.

....before making stupid comments like that and you might not make yourself look like a total idiot in future, or were you just being a moron, trying to irritate people and in that case wrong zone, go to the open zone.

lol @madestar. Grid is a fantastic looking game though and the damage is phenomenal. This is the type of damage i am hoping makes it into GT5 proper

[wulan]

If you look closely GRID is an updated Burnout Paradise.

There is no way it would even come close to GT5.

yes in terms of gameplay it might be fast and furious like Burnout but defintely it wont be anything close to GT5 in terms of graphics and overall feel

[sonarus]

i knew it wouldn't be the same gameplay wise ane yea it does pretty much look like burnout but the damage model is still one of the best i have seen

[Glad to be a gamer]

The driving model/physics on Toca are the best ive seen on previous gen consoles. although i never played forza on xbox so couldnt cp the 2.

[squelchy15]

ok madestar that sounds like fanboyism...the area u want is one click that way--->

but answering ur question...yes it is coming to ps3 and for sure it is coming to the 360 and i know for sure coz i played it on 360 at play.com live

[cellypower]

Is it any good squelchy15?

[AngryHippo]

.....agree with CellyPower.....'Is it any good squelchy15?' This game looks extremely polished. In my opinion one of the best looking racers out there, but graphics are NOT everything. It needs to play well as well. From what i have seen of this game, the developers have done themselves proud and it might not have the same following and fanbase as gran turismo but this will give it some damn good competition in terms of looks.

Wonder which game will be the must have racer this year? I was certain it would be Gt5 but this is making me do a u turn. Just love the idea of being part of a story with the racing team and rivals rather than just racing for racings sake.

Forza 2 has rivals but its not as developed as this with racing teams and leagues. having to work your way up the ranks/leagues is what i loved about toca games.

[Blademask]

Cant wait to play this one and gt5

[hotrider12]

cant wait to play it too!!!!

[level 360]

Think this is another must-buy racing title. Have downloaded a demo trailer on XBoxlive and believe it's very impressive looking.
Great that it has in-car cam, damage-mode and other special features.
Also like the host of musclecars ( Camaro, Challenger etc... ) and LeMans racers ( Aston Martin DBR9 etc... ) in the game.
But think I might have to get the PS3 version.

[madestar]

f all u f a g s on this. xbox 360 fans can go to hell .. when i say it ain't going to come out... it aint going to come out... cause why? cause i said so.. now go stick yur xbox 360 in an oven along with some steak and cook that ish

[squelchy15]

yes it is actually really good...the graphics are among the best ive seen...the physics and damage models are mind blowing and the AI is really good too...its shaping up to be a really solid title

[squelchy15]

madestar u are an idiot....since when did u run the game industry
we need some mods to delete those comments coz they belong in the open zone
