GRID (2019): Perfectly Mediocre

GRID's 2019 reboot brought a series I loved down to such a mediocre level in several ways. Here's why I think so.
EDIT 1: There is extra black space in the video after the outro. I didn’t add extra footage by accident but Final Cut Pro weirdly stretched out my video’s tImeline for some reason.
EDIT 2: I have been corrected. Some of the lines that I thought were apexes were actually curbs on Brands Hatch.

Okay, I actually really like GRID 2019. Yeah, I'm probs one of the few that do. Buuuut, I do understand the hate. The handling's a hit and miss, the career mode can get pretty repetitive (even tho I actually quite enjoyed it whenever I play through it) and I do think that it won't be the classic that the original '08 game is today. But what really saved it for me is deffs the car list, the attention to detail in the way it looks and the handling model when you actually know what you're doing. I totes get the dumb apex systems that you mentioned, tho. Like I said, the handling's very hit and miss - really good if you get it right, but absolutely controller-smashing and rage-inducing when you get it wrong. Oh, and GRID 2019's car sounds are absolute fire. I just wish the game's a lil more alive and has a unique aura to it like the original did. My two cents tho

@GiullarediDio 3 года назад

I get the impression that Codemasters now concentrates most of its developer 'firepower' on the F1 series, with smaller teams working on other projects. GRID 2019 seems to have been motivated mainly by a desire to keep the IP alive: maybe they didn't assign enough resources/time to it. I still have quite high hopes for Dirt 5, because that has been made by the ex-Evolution team who worked on DriveClub and MotorStorm (but also the ill-fated Onrush). Codies clearly want it to be a success, because they need another non-F1 hit, though it's hard to challenge Forza (with its massive Microsoft backing) in the arcade space these days.

Being punished for going over apexes in an arcade racer is ludicrous. Im a fan of the original GRID, its subsequent sequels I gave an honest fair shot, this one never excited me. Its trailer, aesthetic, and feel just never looked right. Looked bland as hell. Something was off for me. Still havent played. Now, OG GRID's trailer blew my mind and I still think is one of the greatest trailers Ive ever seen. I still get goosebumps watching it. Seems like trailers do tell a bit of what to expect. GRID 2019 tried to capitalize on the name but how the heck did they get the most exciting racer to be bland I have no clue. Im dumbfounded really.

@fishyglue 3 года назад

@julianmuniz9862 3 года назад

From my experience, AIs have a very strange passive-agressive system to it. especially with their suicidal "rival" mechanic where the drivers will literally take themselves out with you. It's so annoying. I managed to complete most of the story mode on the hardest difficulty and with no driving assist. and the game is exacltly what you said, "perfectly meh". It didn't offer much to the table. Talking about the kerbs feeling like ice, on their website codemasters said that its a glitch they can't fix. And also to make things worse, a dead multiplayer. I only paid 19.99 for this and I think I got ripped off XD

If I'm not mistaken, grid autosports popularity wasn't due to the fact that it was released on last gen a year after launch of current(gta 5 was still selling well on last gen systems),but because it didn't meet fans expectations which lead to them trashing the game(there are literally hate comments about grid autosport). But yeah i agree with what you said about grid2019,its a game with lots of potential but such little of it is shown making it an "okay" title.

1:53 I loved the original GRID and Grid 2. Codemasters also used to publish TOCA Touring Car Championship for the old PS1 as well which I used to play as a kid a lot.

@benn8793 3 года назад

The definition of an arcade racer for me is that the handling, while not entirely realistic, is somehow plausible and predictable. Unfortunately, I didn't have this feeling at all with Grid 2019. For example, when I switch from another racing game to Grid 2019, I always need a long period of time to get used to it. The handling is completely unpredictable for me in places... And by the way. I agree with everything you said in the video.

Codemasters really need to step up their performance. Dirt Rally 2 was meh. Grid 2019 is like a reskin. Dirt 5 seems like a tech demo for next gen consoles. Ubisoft was mediocre with games but they try something new. Codemasters is getting stale.

@eziitis8 3 года назад

I don't know, I quite like DiRT Rally 2. Not every aspect of it, definitely not the DLC side of it, but for me it was everything DR1 was but more. And the single best feature for me in that game is the daily/weekly/monthly challenges. If you're looking for in-game progression, you're not gonna find it there, but if you want a challenge where you see yourself progress, I think it's quite good.

They way that the tires smoke up, the car is shaking violently and the engine sounds is over saturated makes the game have so much personality it's not even funny... That's just the tip of it. Those game came out around 1993/1998 on arcades originally by the way. Over 20 years old and I still think about 'em till this day.

@jdbruiser 3 года назад

GRID 2019 is boring when it really shouldn't be. The career menu is just a huge litter of events with no meaning or purpose, you race from one to another with nothing special that happens-just shows how much care was really put into the game. I originally playing it on Xbox One but saw it on sale on PS4 for dirt cheap but even so I haven't bothered to start playing it because I remember just how soul-sapping my experience on Xbox One's version was. Maybe GRID 2019's existence was meant to appeal to a wider audience somehow but it's so barren that I doubt it couldn't appeal to anyone other than those who don't expect much from their racing games. I'd rather spend my time dehydrated in a desert for a day than play this again.

Also I wanted to add on about your point about the AI - I feel like they’re too easy or too hard. One difficulty is just a breeze and the very next is impossible AI speed boost x9000 lol. On the higher difficulties the only way to win is qualify 1st but then that makes it too easy again and there’s barely any battles or actual racing.

@michaelskoomamacher5652 3 года назад

Honestly I like Grid 2019 for what it is: a straight-up no-frill racing simulator (not driving sim, mind you) with decently-curated car list and perhaps the best AI in racing genre. However your criticism is completely spot-on: it feels much less intense than its predecessors, extremely boring career progression, minuscule content, and slightly inconsistent handling physics. EDIT: I miss the real life racing teams and drivers from Grid 2008, and I wish either Tom Kristensen or Emanuelle Pirro come to my hometown just to spite their OP AI models.

@thezeon5 3 года назад

I do really like GRID 2019, but I prefer the first one. There’s something about this game tho. It’s just...simple. It’s one of those racers, that you boot up this game, pick your car, pick your track and beat the others. Kinda like those arcade racers like SCUD Race, when you pick a car, pick a track and your immediately a race. Again, I really do like this game IMO.

The problem with Grid series is that the first one put the bar too high for the follwing games to surpass. The same way with other games where the sequel is not as good as the prequel for exemple Every NFS after NFS MW 05(i know i'm beating a dead horse but while the following games some were good compared to MW 05 they weren't great), Test Drive Unlimited 2, Dirt 3 and 4 (by the looks 5 aswell) against Dirt 2. Thoose are the exemples that come to mind. Fun fact: you could play Grid 08 multiplayer with a Pirated game on the official Codemasters servers and Colin Mcrae Dirt 1 also.

No, those are aprons, not apexes. Apex just means the point at which you are closest to the inside of the corner, also called the clipping point. It's not a track feature. Also, so far, in my experience, on both Medium and Hard AI presets, with full and level 3 assists, you can easily drive over them. Now I'm not saying on Ultra Hard with no assists the experience would be identical, but as long as you are not accelerating (especially while cornering hard), it shouldn't automatically cause you to spin out.
