Xbox 360 PS3

Codemasters is planning on releasing GRID in June on Playstation 3, PC, Xbox 360 & Nintendo DS, and inside you will find some more or less old images from the game. Some dated months back, other's from last week, but now we at least have them in the database. So enjoy, from the creators of Colin McRae: DIRT.

Codemasters fact sheet:
From the creators of one of 2007’s best racing games, DiRT™, comes GRID™ – a fast-paced, cinematic, all-encompassing racing game. GRID takes players on a world tour of beautifully designed race locations through Europe, the US, Japan and beyond. The game features the most extensive range of courses ever created by Codemasters, combining official racetrack/circuit challenges and drifting events, with road races and urban street competitions.

GRID embraces all types of racing, including traditional circuit courses in exotics in Europe, muscle car street races in the US, and drifting import tuners in Japan. Jump behind the wheel of some of the fastest, most powerful race cars ever created and take on your friends in the best that racing has to offer.

In any mode, on any surface, the car handling is sublime and the physics system is thrillingly accurate. A devastating new damage engine ensures players feel every bump in the road as they fight to keep control of their cars at breathtaking speeds.

GRID delivers electrifying race action – squeezing all the juicy bits out of the world’s best courses, cars and race styles to deliver one huge adrenaline rush. It’s all about what happens between the GRID and the flag!

KEY FEATURES:
· IT’S ALL ABOUT THE RACE: Codemasters Studios’ history of creating stellar racing titles, combined with AI and the ability of the EGO™ engine allow them to deliver GRID - a pure and cinematic race experience

· A GREATER, MORE DIVERSE, WORLD OF RACING: New and classic, track and street – conquer the greatest racetracks and then go beyond with road races and urban street competitions

· JUMP BEHIND THE WHEEL OF SOME OF THE MOST EXCITING CARS: Exotics, imports and beefy muscle cars are all available to race in hugely varied events with grids of up to twenty cars aggressively competing for the lead

· THREE DISTINCT RACING REGIONS: Europe, US and Japan are all beautifully designed, each with their own individual takes on racing:

o U.S.A – In thunderous V8 muscle cars, race diverse courses on city streets in flat out, door banging racing action

o Japan – Reject traditional Western racing and drift over to Japan for action the fringes of legality in industrial areas and back streets from dusk ‘till dawn

o Europe – Race the famous tracks dominated by Le Mans in some of the most technologically advanced cars ever created such as the Ferrari F430 GT, Lamborghini Murcielago GTR, Aston Martin DBR9, Koenigsegg CCXR and Porsche 911 GT3-RSR

· EVERYTHING THAT COULD HAPPEN IN A RACE PROBABLY WILL: A GRID race tests a driver’s skills at every turn -- crammed with high-impact moments such as, engine fires, tire blow outs, bump and runs, wild crashes involving flipping, spinning, and collisions with other cars and trackside objects

· ENHANCED EGO ENGINE DRIVES ALL NEW HIGH IMPACT CRASH DAMAGE AND SEQUENCES: Physics models will ensure that collisions and crashes yield the kind of spectacle that a Hollywood movie director would ask for. Slow motion will be used extensively to give replays the blockbuster treatment

· ONLINE RACING: Race your cars online in high-adrenaline multiplayer, multiple car events

I wonder if this one still has the quake-guy handling of all codemasters racing games since colin mcrae 1 on the psx. This game has around 28-to-1 odds against it in the lack-of-physics department (Codemasters racers that lack it vs potential new title). Actually the odds are infinite as they've yet to produce a racing game.

Shame about the absence of DTM or V8 Supercars this time round. Word has it that, like DIRT, they're gunning for the US market.

Just saw the trailer properly on my PS3. I stand by what I said before. The car models are very DiRT level. Not horribly low poly, but not great either. You can really tell it's using the same engine because the shadow effects and reflection maps look very similar. Not great shaders either.

The environments are OK, but the lighting is nothing impressive. Lightmaps, filters, and polygonal mesh 'rays of light'.

The best thing in the video really is the physics and the cars falling apart and rolling around. If they get good physics like Burnout Paradise and don't use too much bloom and brown like they did in DiRT I may buy it.

Here we go again, "Actual Gameplay Footage", and all we really get is REPLAYS. Yeah, I know, the game engine used is the same, but we all know that replays like that have additional processing thrown at them. Polyphony Digital are as guilty with their footage of GT5 as well.

Gameplay, to me, is when PLAYING THE GAME, not just watching a replay.
Thats what people were saying when they released the PGR4 trailer. And they were wrong.

dudes, just don't get too excited. it's obvious that it's not gonna run 60 fps in game. in trailer it looks like 60 fps because the video is played at twice the speed of 30 fps... (it's all fast forward, can't you see?). And the developer said in one of interviews that it's gonna be 30 fps. But it probably will be fun game anyway.

GT Damage Control Freaks ... Go Away. It's in the same fucking console. No need for bitter tears.
(Oh I forgot... it's in the 360 too. That explains a lot)

Toca as a whole (gameplay+visuals) ruled over GT in the past, and now even more.

Actually, they were dead right (as is Nomino now as well). That PGR4 trailer uses some kind of motion blur not used ingame. And yes, it makes a HUGE difference.

Photoshopped bullshots ahoy, but im sure the game will look really nice since it uses the neon engine, but you have to be pretty naive to belive that these shots are unaltered.

I was looking forward to this until they dropped the simulation approach that they took with TOCA, even dirt was a massive let down with poor car/track physics it felt like an arcade game, and the've already said this game will be more like NFS than TOCA.

Who's the fanboy now? This game doesn't look anywhere near as good as GT5P. I own all the current gen platforms...

Oh stop kidding yourselves. If they game looks anything like it did in the trailer, then this is by far the most visually impressive racer to date. GT and PGR4 can do what it does because there's no damage modeling (extremely minor in PGRs case). If it doesn't look that, big shame.

But as with every other racing game, there's a whole bunch of other stuff that's just as important. If they don't get the audio and physics down, all this is pointless.

Click on the HD version, you can even download it. It's 720P 60fps. (It's not that well encoded though.
Theres no 720p video on GT...their HD vids are all 960x540! Which is just about 480p....anyways hope these guys get the 720p trailer as the quality wasnt the best on GT

Impressive screenshots, this game looks beautiful. That “actual gameplay footage” trailer over at GT is more like an “actual replay” trailer. It’s running really smooth but as stated in the interview posted on Gameryde the game will feature only 30FPS on the consoles. So I don’t expect it running as smooth as shown in the trailer.
That said I think that overall it looks better than GT5P (I own a PS3, I played the demo and I will even buy it because I like it!). This is even more impressive considering it got damage.
As in the interview stated the drive physics will be more like PGR, a well balanced mix of simulation and arcade. I personally think that even the high rated physics of GT5P are still a bit arcade (judging from the Japanese demo which I play the at the highest possible simulation level with a G25).
But they also said that the player will give some options to increase realism. Well… I guess we have to wait till we see for ourselves how it handles.
Anyway I like games that are bit arcade better than pure simulations (e.g. rFactor). I think it’s more fun that way.
If it proves to be good I’ll get it for my PS3 as the Xbox 360 doesn’t support the G25… which sucks really hard if you ask me…

I just registered to this site to say one thing: the user 'Jigen' is blind. Yes, that's right. I registered solely to say that. This is the best looking racing game ever shown so far, based on the trailer. It looks superior to GT5, Forza 2, PGR4, DiRT, all of them. I'm being completely unbiased. Hell, the only console I own is a PS3. Jigen, you should be embarrassed with your damage control attempt. Seriously, get a life.

That's funny because I downloaded a 720P version from that link, it's right here on my PC. I'll copy the "Properties" details:

Audio: Windows Media Audio 48000Hz stereo 192Kbps [Raw Audio 0]
Video: Windows Media Video 9 1280x720 59.94fps 3072Kbps [Raw Video 1]
