GRID, what type of driving game is it?

bledd · 8 Jun 2008 at 13:52

I quite like the way Need For Speed games work -ie, arcadey and unrealistic, GRID looks real nice, does it handle the same sort of way?

$40 on steam seems decent...

Also, quick spec check..

8gb, q6600, 8800gt ko, 1290x1024

assuming it'll run perfectly on that?

you really are taking the **** asking a question like that.

hmm especially since 1290 doesn't exist

going by your replies, i think i'll just buy the full game, can't be bothered installing a demo etc..

thanks

some of you are missing the point, i'm not after a super realistic game

after need for speed meets destruction derby

if it worth getting a wheel for? (currently have 360 controller)

wtf, can't buy it on steam, says my region doesn't have it

how cack

-edit, steam update, steam restart, downloading @ over 600kb/s
-edit2, damn just ordered Trials 2 also

i've got flatout 1 & 2, bought them ages ago on steam, forgot i had them tbh, will play them after i've done GRID

how do you use the flashbacks?

ahh f12

better not to use them i guess, more money

basically the crash system is pretty punishing at times, flashback lets you do a roughly 5 second reply, and 'flash back' to a point in the replay you're happy with

it's a good mix of destruction derby & need for speed so far (played it for about 3 hours)

the more I play this the more i like it

just paid $90,000 for a new team mate, just came 1st and 2nd in our black, silver & grey dodge vipers

nice
