Race Driver: Grid

does anyone reckon mouse steer will be possible in the full game? keyboard is never accurate enough and i don't want to have to get a steering wheel. if not i guess it'll have to be a 360 controller?
 
Judging by the demo, the drifting is unrealistic and still has the 'canned' spin which previous TOCA games had. NFS Carbon's drift mode has the right balance between arcade drifting and proper drift realism.

I find it's just right actually. If you turn traction control and stability control off in the other game types, you can still induce decent drifts even if not in the drift gametype. They feel really similar.

Go close to the posts on every corner. If you do it at a moderate speed you'll get a 20k bonus for that single drift. Don't worry about not being amazing.. when you start to get control of the car etc your score will shoot up exponentially as the drifts will start to naturally link together, building huge combos.
 
Aye, i found drifting the hardest gametype in the demo, but, once you work out he lines to skim the posts, and seamlessly blend 1 drift corner into the next, feathering the throttle and brake your scores rocket.

Atm i think my best for the demo drift track is ~2mill, and about 1.1mill of that came from a single combo.
 
I’m using my new 660GT wheel and pedals... is it just me or does it seem slower to accelerate than the 360 pad? I’ve got no dead zone on the pedals but it just seems to make the car slower.
 
I have just been playing the demo of GRID and I thought it was pretty damn good, although using a keyboard to race wasn't exactly easy and I plan to get a 360 gamepad if and when I buy the game. I was suprised that it ran pretty well on medium settings on this current PC (Athlon X64 3200+, 2GB DDR Ram, HD3850 256MB) but I am upgrading my PC soon to a C2D E2200 2.20GHz, 2GB DDR2 Ram and sticking with this graphics card as I only bought it recently. How well will the game run on my new computer? As I did experience some framerate drops on medium when in races with all the cars around and stuff...
