Race Driver: GRID(tm) Is all about the race- that period from lights to flag; full of tension, pressure, noise, and action.


Race Driver: GRID will take players to beautifully realised and dramatic race locations over three continents to compete in an unprecedented variety of racing events. Packed with the most powerful race cars - new and classic, circuit and drift - players will compete to conquer the most prestigious official race tracks and championships and then go beyond to compete in challenging city-based competitions, through to road events and urban street races.

In Europe, race gamers will compete on the greatest official tracks in prestige Marques including Aston Martin, Koenigsegg and Pagani. Iconic cities across the U.S. - including San Francisco, Washington DC and Detroit and each with their own atmosphere and events - play hosts to diverse street races. Here, high-performance V8 muscle cars set the pace in aggressive closely fought pack competitions.

In the Far East, Japanese racing culture sets the tone where night races, including Drift racing, take drivers through neon illuminated cities and to outlying mountain roads. There is also the opportunity to compete in races that operate on the fringes of legality in the back streets and industrial areas of Yokohama.

Race Driver: GRID will make use of Codemasters own Ego engine, an evolved version of the Neon engine already used in their previous release Dirt. The damage code is said to have been completely rewritten to allow for persistent damage environments. GRID is also said to feature "the most extensive range of events in the TOCA Race Driver series, combining official circuit-based championships with road races and urban street competitions. The Ego engine will be expanded to deliver a new level of visual detail, physics and an astonishing car damage system

Race Driver: GRID is coming early June of 2008 for the Xbox(R)360, PLAYSTATION(R)3 system and Games for Windows(R).

Sweet !! DiRT was so damn fun to play. I thought the title was "Race Driver One" ?

DiRT, now GRiD ?
Race Driver series is not the best of racing series, but with the Neon engine, things can change !!!

goddamn look at that pictures......sh@it

DiRT is so hard to play with keyboard.

wow the graphics is so dam beautiful

This beat NFS~oh yeah

Good grif!! It was so beautiful graphics.

Looks Like Prostreet LMAO

No hardware requirements worry

Oh, it's worthy to note that Codemasters Malaysia also involved in this game, same like DiRT, where they were in-charge of the game's artistic aspect.

u need 2 practice more dude i dont have problems tackling the hardest level also



it does look like prostreet except the modding part

Holy crap!!!!This game looks damn nice.

DiRT= hard? Did I hear someone saying that?

The hardest settings are easy.

when is the game going to out?

sweet details on the car .....

mid 2008 ? any idea when a demo will be out ?

@sukun , nice to see another lostprophets fan xD

holy crap.
surely will need upgrade to play it at 60FPS on high settings.

anyway, DiRT wasnt hard on keyboard, it's HARD on steering wheel.

Saw this game title for a while now (few mths ago)... looks great so far.

The thing its.. does it has StarForce on it?.. considering TS said its the same dev from DiRT.

Cheers

Hmm, Dirt was too easy on a steering wheel. On a G25 that is.

ok not so new screenies but more is good i guess =/

and trailer

OMFG!!!!

Grid has Silvia!!!

Whats that black car behind DBR9?It looks like some classic car but i cant recall whats that.

most important question.. will it be realistic? or is it gonna be arcadish like nfs series.. if arcade.. den bye bye..

I'm so getting this.

must get must get must get say it 10x

mostly from the 1series which is toca race driver/pro race driver it was simulation, second was also simulation and 3rd was same..so i guess this is simulation as well

drift drift drift!!!! i like to drift!!! hope the physics works better than NFS.....

BTW, y i dont see lancer screenshot?? no lancer ar??

The CCG looks goddamm nice...hopefully it's the same as in game graphic..
Btw, will there be any damage effect like DiRT?

the trailer seems to have damage...
all toca series have damage too...

Originally this game was called Race Driver ONE. I already notice this even BEFORE the release of DiRT. Now they come out with a new name GRiD... Hmm, I still prefer ONE than GRiD ! lol

Though nvm, I alwasy thrust Codemasters of their racing games, so I am not worry about it.

i want the new GTR R35 in the game

Waht to say? I want the old' Honda S2000 around And no lack Peugeot 206 and 206CC as well ! Why people just alwasy drop these few cars ... !_! Who said small car can't run fast?! See Lotus Elise... lol

a lot of car can be chosen
i wonder whether 8800GT and 3870 can run in 1920*1200 full details or not

i wish to see some ol'skool' inside like Ford Escort MK I and Toyota Celica GT TA22

wah goodness look at the graphics. Really hope my laptop can play it at acceptable details

this is what i'm waiting for..looks more like the PGR...
wonder what is the requirements for pc..

New Trailer http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32013.html

It look awesome!!!

Me too.Really like that car now.



Yeah,i hope mine can run it at medium too.

Yeah..lookin forward to this game as well xD

If our PCs can handle Colin McRae: Dirt..this should be able to play I think..the graphics looks like Dirt's graphic engine =X

Btw..summer 2008 as according to the trailer is when?=X

GRID is using an upgraded version of Neon engine call Ego.

I hope i can play this game lah.It looks pretty nice.

It looks damn nice...especially after watching the trailer..the game was like running at 60fps

more than 60 fps i think good 4 the eyez unlike crysis

I hope I'm able to run teh game =S

I thought it was GR1D?
anyways, it will be part sim part arcaedish ala Gran Turismo IMO. A pure sim (like rFactor and Live for Speed) is harder to control with a gamepad and that would turn off many fans

ONE was the old name they first used. Since Malaysia Codemasters office also doing alot of job for this game, I really hope to see some local race tracks!!!!!!!

Codemasters alwasy include tracks from alot of countries in their racing games, perhaps Malaysia this time, hmm?

I hope we have a street racing track in KL or something.

Really looking forward to this game.

They even have Zonda GTR.

I hope they include Peneng's bridge, KLCC area, KL airport area, Johor-Singapore border bridge, Sarawak Bridge area... kinda ask too much... lol!

I really hope it got those realistic damage (?) as in NFSPS, but more realistic one la.

Oh well, another racing game. it was like when NFSPS was first annouced, and ppl get overreact bout it like "how awesome the graphic is/got damage summore!/Wah! Got skyline proto/etc etc" but when the game is out, everyone was like "this game bored to hell/Hard to control/EA suck etc etc. To be truth, I really hope Codemaster make something like 1NSANE. Anyone remember this game?

GRID's damage is insane.The metal deformation is better than Dirt.That 350Z's back was completely damaged when it hit the ground.

Gameplay wise,it should be good.

I'd known Codemasters since long long ago from their ColinMcRae series (hope it not ended?), and they already doing 'damage' ever since. So can say that they have more experience in such a thing. Well, still remmeber the days where me and my friend hang in front of PC... laugh extremely loud play CMR05, not really play, but crashing the car around to see the damage effects and who can damage more... and... I won of course... lol...

Yes, NFS make a dissapointment. Well, just don't overjoy anyway, be happy that this game coming real soon, and glad that we have another racing sim on PC, something to filled up the blank in our heart that GT never come PC... right?

GRID is the closest game to GT.

Yeah,i do agree with the damage.Even DiRT's one is impressive enough.

lol I still love to drive the red little MiniCooper in CMR5 and crashing around till all the doors and cover tear off... muahahaha!

actually is better than GT minus the skyline which make me upset about it

wow!!!!! that graphic
