Race Driver: GRID Xbox 360 Demo Released/PC Demo Delayed

I thought better to make new thread so peeps see it instead of bumping other thread.

I dont see the point in my quoting anything this time, simply the fact today (Thursday) was supposed to be the demos for all formats, but now the PC demo is delayed.

Pmsl, if its not bad enough with the games keep getting delayed, its now the ******* demo's.

I was just in my m8's shop.

A young guy has just been in compelte with a high end Logitech Wheel/Pedals, he needed some type of cables and a HDMI lead etc.

He told my m8 he bought it for the GRID PC Game due today (obv means the demo unless he is clueless).

Talk about a kick in the teeth lol.

The 360 demo is pretty impressive, graphics are very nice. I want to see how the PC version is going to run though.

I work for Codemasters as a Community Liaison Officer and we are hoping to have the PC demo ready for release tomorrow morning.

Apologies for the delay, but we had some technical issues with the demo which meant that we could not release it today.

Tad annoying to discover that about 10 lines of code have ruined it but meh, I'll happily wait another day

Spoke to a friend who works at Codemasters, heard it was a real panic there on friday - massive bug found at the last minute or somesuch worryingness - so it's been all hands on deck since then.

Cool, hopefully tomorrow then, looking forward to this. It looks like a similar engine to Dirt.

Wikipedia said:
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.

Oh dear, hope its not the same performance then, or i'll be expecting Quad SLi not to even break 40fps.

wouldn't worry it's carp

rotter023 · 8 May 2008 at 17:16

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but from what i have read today a lot of people would disagree
