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.

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

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

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?

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

Awsome gameplay video:

(don't stop the video, it will auto continue to other videos, total 3 of them. 1 circuit and 2 drift)


although it looks abit arcade for now or there ARE something wrong... I guess they push the colour filtering too heavy...

lol hate to watch those low resolutions video, usually the compression cause the video looks not accurate. There is another new Developer Diary 1 video available at gametrailers.com also in HD. See the S-P-E-E-D and visual !!!! It a must have game and I rank it as GAME-OF-THE-YEAR !

I view the video frame by frame (use the speed control in WMP), what can I say? It totally AWSOME! Never ever see any othe rgames can do such a thing...

The video showcase great gameplay indeed. If you slow-mo the video and watch the car crash part, where a car infront of the player's car crash to the wall at the left, the car just stunt out to the middle of the track and the player's car just manage to squeez pass and avoid get hit just a few cm! Awsome sense of real racing.

It so functional that I can even make a video out of it that looks real pro. If I ask some people that not IT player to watch they might though it was real! And I'm very happy that in the new NEON engine, this function is very well preserved.

but GT never do damage model =/ this is the part that abit dissapoint for me on GT.

Off topics ? lol ... I gone back to play NFSU these few days anyway ...

Hmm, no new footage of Grid yet... I want to know more... from 45 cars, 3 locations... Hmm we got alot of yummy cars in there...

Currently spot lots of popular cars like :

-Aston Martin DB9 Special Edition
-Chevrolet (alot of muscles)
-Viper ! Yahoo!
-350Z ! Yahoo!
-BMWs
-RX7 ! Yahoo!
-Skyline GTR ! Yahoo!
-Impreze WRX ! Yahoo!

slow mo the video and you'll able to spot quite a number of the featured cars, though some are rather hard to identified... hmm...The chief designer said "We only interest in RACING cars, or blah blah blah...", so no Proton or Produa here, lol! And no local track either, since he only mentioned Japan, Europe and US...

Well, most racing I played made by Codemasters seems to adapt slightly arcade control, so that some 'regular' players can handle the game. Well, you see any people that really donno hiow to play racing games? Real funny when you ask them to play... So, slghlt arcade style helps some people to enjoy the game =)

But I hope they can make the game to switch between arcade and sim controls?

Yes, Malaysian Team have part of te work in Grid. I heard about texturing and artworks ?

.. can't play this game until get a new rig.

From the video I see from gametrailes.com, it seems that XBOX360 version have higher framerate and sharper image, better paticle and physic effects than PS3 ~ Wth...

I hope PC beat all the console version ~
