Grid

SkeeterUK · 20 Jul 2011 at 13:34

Forgot how mint lookin this game is. Had it before sorta but bought it the other day during the sale and its really nice to play. Has great gfx even today and fps is really nice with max details and 8xcsaa and MS using nvidia inspector.

Cant for the life of me drive in cockpit view cos of the bobbing and stuff which is a shame as thats my fav view but 3rd person is still nice.

I hear mp is no longer an option. Would lan type of gaming work over ip or hamachi perhaps?

Dont tell me MP has been discontinued.?

Was going to dig this out this weekend.

SkeeterUK · 20 Jul 2011 at 13:37

Well it is what i read on another topic the pc games daily deals thread iirc.

Edit - Just tried to log in to mp and it wouldn't let me.

You can play grid online using tunngle. http://www.tunngle.net I've never used it but you could research it a little more and see how it works.

Can't wait for the next Grid with all the weather and track simulation they have added to the engine.

Has another GRID been announced?

I'm tempted to buy this even though I've already got it on disc.

Cex does trade in for £2, maybe other places will give you more for it. So you could get it on steam and then trade or sell ur boxed copy and not lose much.

This is all we know - they are working on it, but don't think there is a release date. Rumours were 2012, but who knows.

MP was awesome in grid. Shame it's gone.

Had some superb 10+ car races at LANs and online with mates.

is this worth a go? does it scale well on CF? for £2.99 cant really go wrony surely?

Great game, never really played thr MP though. Bought it for £3.64 a couple of years ago, think it was the first game I bought through Steam

Pretty much same for me, was one of the first Steam sale games I picked up. Excellent game - never really touched MP either.

I think the graphics are dated tbh! I even increased the shadows and reflections in the INI and still looks dated.

DiRT 3 for the win!

£2.99 vs £29.99 though? is it worth the £2.99, is there enough gameplay value in it for that?
and you say dated? will that mean newer hardware should be able to run it at high settings without issues?
does anyone know if it scales well with CF?

SkeeterUK · 20 Jul 2011 at 16:53

Grid can run 60fps on medium hardware, new hardware will be ultra smooth max. I mean i get 60fps solid at max using 8xcsaa and MS through nvidia inspector with specs in sig.

RavenXXX2 · 20 Jul 2011 at 17:04

Great game and a steal at the price it's going for on steam.

Ovr · 20 Jul 2011 at 17:20

Quite possibly the best arcade style racer for a long, long time. Only thing that comes near to it in terms of enjoyability (is that even a word?) is the DiRT series (2 & 3 anyway.)

Online play for the PC is still possible via Game Ranger. Check out their website for more details.
