GRID Autosport News Post


GRID Autosport is available today for PC, 360 and PS3. If you plan on getting the game, let us know what you think! Until then, we have listed plenty of sites around the web, that have posted their review today.Read the press release below.

Today GRID Autosport launched a new world of motorsport as it raced into stores for the Xbox 360 games and entertainment system from Microsoft, Windows PC and for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system.

As GRID Autosport launches, two major new multiplayer features powered by RaceNet, the free million-member online community hub from Codemasters, go live too. GRID Autosport gamers connected to RaceNet are now able to form their own Racing Clubs and can compete in clan-style competition. Gamers will be able to race under a shared livery, check the progress of their club-mates and rival clubs, and earn points for their club every time they race.

GRID Autosport’s launch also marks the start of new RaceNet Challenges, which give players six fresh new challenges every week. In RaceNet Challenges, players will earn XP and in-game cash to use in the game and will earn more for finishing higher on the leaderboard, which will feature all the participants in each challenge. The challenges that are live today are as follows:
  • Endurance Racing – Endurance GT cars at Spa-Francorchamps
  • Street Racing – Hypercars at Washington, D.C.
  • Touring Cars – Super Tourers at Mount Panorama
  • Open-Wheel – IndyCar racing at Indianapolis
  • Tuner – Drift event at the custom designed Autosport Raceway
  • Party – Demolition Derby at Detroit
Players can join RaceNet for free today by visiting www.racenet.com.

In GRID Autosport, players will experience five different styles of motorsport, each featuring different dedicated series. Players can choose to specialise in their favourite or conquer them all, online or in the game’s career mode. Each disciple gives players a uniquely different challenge and experience, and requires different racing skills

A few more thoughts.

Good:

- Handling model is really good for high end cars compared to Grid 2
- The Racenet weekly challenges are alot of fun and a great way to earn cash
- Finally found a place where I can view all the cars available basically in one place (it's online)
- Game has a fun factor that makes me want to keep playing despite my many gripes.
- Finally got online and ran a few races...smooth
- AI makes mistakes
- Swapping paint feels good without being too overbearing on the damage system
- In a series, I like how the grid gets rearranged based on the last race

Bad:

- It's confusing online how to upgrade the cars as well as how to level up a specific car vs. just leveling up in specific disciplines.
-Offline there are car upgrades available in Custom Cup but no explanation of how you earn(ed) them.
-Again, graphically the game is only passable, but I feel like the way they handled the cockpit views by blurring the dash was downright lazy. It's like someone said, "So you want a cockpit view, huh. We'll fix ya."
-If you don't have online, you truly only have 1/2 of the game.
-Teammate in career mode seems to be just useless.
-Appreciate the commentary but it's super repetitive.
-In one race I placed 1st but didn't get credit for meeting the objective to beat the "Monster Energy" drivers in the race. What am I missing?
-No static broadcast replay cam (best way to watch replays) or way to save replay.
-No way to add custom music and no jukebox.

Ugly:

- So I'm doing a Time Attack trial and an AI car comes up and rams me from behind? Can I please do my Time Attack in peace? Does the AI have to be there with me?
- Sorry, but the time it takes car avatars to load has become more than a nuisance.
- So the code for the Mercedes that comes with the Black Edition will open the Mercedes but you still have to buy it with in-game credits. And its not clear what cars get the Ravenwest livery.

This is now backwards compatible on Xbox One!

I quite liked this one on PS3, and I fired it up on my Xbox One S...looks pretty good, feels okay. Still pretty slippery.

Inkcil sums up the pros and cons pretty well. A nice alternative to the other major racing games, with good AI.
