Race Driver: Grid

I wonder if the physics in this is up to scratch. I played Race Driver 3 for a while and some of the physics in that were just dreadful. The Clio was especially bad, and would topple over going round Paddock Hill bend at Brands.

I wish they would release a game like Forza or Gran Turismo on the PC where there is the opportunity to race everyday cars and upgrade them over time with winnings from races. However, the game would absolutely need realistic handling, physics and decent AI.
 
+1 to that roadie, I really hate dumbed down arcadey racers. I can see a huge market for a serious racing sim that is not sterile and retains a fun element (e.g. a career mode, really good selection of cars etc).

Unfortunately though that market is actually very limited.. With PC game sales slumping, especially in the Driving market no one would want to pour the money into it to get it sort.. Let alone get some kind of licensing deal with car manufacturers who aren't interested in the PC market.

LFS is your only real option now and the foreseeable future. Otherwise go the PS3 / 360 Forza and GT5 route.

in truth there are tons of superb MODS covering every racing aspect out there, rFactor, LFS or Grand Prix 4 its not like we need to keep buying the 08,09 versions of the same game.. PC wins hands down in that respect ... GT5 and Forza are not shabby but they are just console games afterall not exactly sims like the above or Simbin games etc etc
 
"Oh no, the Dirt engine! ARGH!!!"

Yeah, cos EVERY game build on the same engin as another is IDENTICAL!??!

Come on guys, all the Q3 mods were massively different, the HL and HL2 engin have been used to make all sorts of things, even racing games! Just cos its built on Dirt engine doesnt mean its going to be a Dirt clone...

I do fear however, its going to be the Crysis of the racing world... Crappy gameplay but OMG LOLZ AWSOM GRAPHICS L@@K!!!!!1111
 
nice vids, im hoping this is a cross between DIRT arcade style and say GT5 semi-real feel , i'd like codemasters to make a proper Grand Prix game at some point with this engine but ofc that wont happen , sadly

I remember that, the switch over thing where you could each play part of the race?

yes, every set number of laps the computer would take over your car whilst the next player took the 'hot seat' and raced for a set amount of laps .. it worked so well and qualifying was extremely intense
