"Adam Sandler from Xplay"

Ok so his movies are pretty weak, but i thought he was doing alright out of it?

Game looks excellent btw!

[Marceles]

lol @ Adam Sandler and not Adam Sessler

[tony]

looks like they put effort on the physics. looks good.

[NO_PUDding]

Atleast Adam 'Sandler' is tryign to help with the promotion of the game. The developer really makes it sound crap.

"Err.. it's all Race cars, not as much as our competitors, but, they, err they're all real, and you can't... they are race cars.. hence the best cars... therefore all the cars you need... I think."

And I loved Toca back in the day, but Race Driver ruined it. Atleast I still ahve Gran Turismo to come.

[madestar]

good thing it's not coming to xbox 360 cause xbox 360 can't handle the graphics

[madestar]

F all you mods banning me from the gamer zone... f a g s

[cjp4eva]

Most of the mods are Xbot sh*t eaters.

[Daz]

Now this game looks fun

[ngg12345]

From the bullshot video.

[iAmPS3]

I totally agree, the previous trailer was awesome. Now look at this gameplay, little to none improvement over TOCA and DIRT.

What a shame.

[InMyOpinion]

The quality of this video is too bad to judge how the game looks. I know you PS3 fanboys are eager to downplay GRID in favor of GT5P, but you'll have to wait until we have seen some more of it.

I have to say I'm a bit worried about the handling of the cars. In the video it looked like the cars behaved as if they were RC-cars. The shopping trolley controls+psycho brakes found in Dirt still give me nightmares.

[Boldy]

That's pretty cool at 2:54 how the rear bumper on the car that was hangin on just flys off the track.

[BilI Gates]

LMAO I knew it would look nothing like the target render.

- Your friendly neighborhood Bill

[RobertGonz69]

Sorry I rather get GT5.

[murkster-dubez]

Only 50 cars, and they say GT5 Prologue is Demo

[cjp4eva]

Exactly please dont pay attention to the other "side" of mentally challenged kids.

[akaFullMetal]

yea it doesnt look even close to gt5, can't believe people were actually comparing them visually, o well either way it looks fun, and maybe later on they will improve the graphics.

[pwnsause]

yea there is somewhat of a fun factor there, looks good for a racing game, but it doesnt compare to GT5, ill pick this up anyway.

[themyk]

i'm glad they released this trailer. because it just completely showed that it wont be able to touch gtp graphicaly or gameplay wise. it didn't even look like he had to slow down to take the turns. this game is no different than any other generic racer.

gran turismo FTW.

long live solid snake.

[Faztkiller]

i think i am going to get both GT5p and grid

[Maddens Raiders]

but it doesn't even lay a finger on the 800lb. Gorilla.

[BilI Gates]

That looks like utter trash.

[Faztkiller]

btw does anyone know anything about nascar 09 is ith going to suck like 08?

i wish they would make another dirt to daytona.

[pwnsause]

it will, comon, its EA, what do you expect, i recomend that you stick to GT5p, this game or F1, if you want simulation.

[Blademask]

graphics?

Once again, BLOOM doesn't = GOOD GRAPHICS. It makes me think my eyes are suffering from glaucoma.

Whats with all the pop in?

[OmegaKulu]

looks fun, except that full screen bloom effect made it looks like NFS, not in a good way.

[iAmPS3]

It doesn't look anywhere near the previous trailers.
There is a little improvement over TOCA and DIRT, very little, it won't stand out from the crowd.

I was expecting this game to be good and complete my racing games collection, but I don't know if I can play 5 minutes of this game after racing with GRAN TURISMO 5. Kazunori already confirmed great changes to GT5, including damage, he said the cars will deform realistically, and if we know Kazunori he is a perfectionist and he might be creating the best damage simulation so far.

The guy said:

"It's not simulation, it's not arcade"

It's utter sh1t.

[Jamaicangmr]

I'd probly still pic this up but i just think its funny because of all the GRID is gonna own GT5:P crap that some where spewing.

I taste desperation fellas. lol!

[2 cents]

The physics again look arcadey, the cars seem light and easy to control, the damage system showed nothing impressive there and the gfx looked no more than ok. It`s all "been there, done that".
And 50 cars?! WTF? Even Ferrari Challenge will have more cars than that and all exclusive ferrari cars. They did so well with Toca3 on last gen consoles and now with all the power and can only come up with that.
I love racing games so i`ll give this a rent.

[DreDawgg06]

this was a bad quality video, and for the people lucky enough to own good gaming pcs, they will see 1080p at around 60fps with graphics that are damn good, but people are stupid GT has always been the top in terms of gameplay and graphics.

Its basically a game that does RACING amazingly, it makes me wonder why sports games that only do sports dont look photo realistic yet, i can understand an RPG or FPS because there is so much going on, but racing,sports, and flying games should be near photo realism because it focuses on one thing...

[PeeboDaKilla]

I don't think it's all that fair for us to base our opinions of the graphics on what we see in an arguably less-than-optimal-quality video. From what I've heard from people who saw the game at play.com, the game is extremely easy on the eyes. I'm not basing my opinion solely on hearsay either though. I say we wait for some hd videos of gameplay and high-res screenshots before making our judgment.
But I do think it's safe to say that this game probably won't be the graphical wonder that GT5P is.

[Angelitos]

Yeah, they do a nice job comparing GT4 from last gen hardware. They should'nt compare to GT5 prolouge, because GT5 is still in development.

[InMyOpinion]

Why do people compare this to GT5: Prologue? It would be more logical to compare it to PGR 4. GRID focuses purely on the racing aspect, while GT5: Prologue is aiming to be a sim. Two great, yet different racing games to look forward to =)

[PeeboDaKilla]

I wasn't comparing the gameplay. It's just that when that video for GRID first came out, people freaked. The 360 fanboys immediately claimed it as proof that the 360 could handle GT5P-like graphics, and the PS3 fanboys immediately said that it looked like complete sh*t and couldn't even hold a candle to GT5P. I don't think? anybody really compared the gameplay...unless they were "dee dee dee"

[InMyOpinion]

Lol! Your comment made me laugh =) Not cause it was bad in anyway, but because you mentioned "gameplay". Was a long since I heard anyone on this site discuss how a game actually plays =) Bubbles!

[Glad to be a gamer]

This game is a completely diff racer to gt. GT is like a car rpg not the most exciting racing game but has alot of car to mess about with in beautiful locations.

This game is more of the forza 2 mould where it is all about adrenalin filled racing, with a sense of speed,damage and realistic physics. The interview even states that the hardest thing was to make the game look this good with the realistic physics going on behind the scenes.

i personally like both types of racer but from previous Gt's cp tocas and forza 2 they cater to a different crowd/sides of driving fans.

I'll be getting both for different experiences.

Those that have only played Gt's won't understand this and probably think that gt4 was the best driving simulator of the last generation. Ignorance is bliss.

[2 cents]

I played all GTs and all TOCA ans F1 and F2 and all the racing games with a score above 50 on all platforms including PC, and for me no game comes close to GT. I`m a racing fanatic and car enthusiast.
I will play this game as well, but to compare this with GT is madness. Actually people were saying the other day that in places GRID looks better than GT5P. I know this is low res video but GT looks much better than anything even on low res video.

[Glad to be a gamer]

That seems to be all ps3 owners care about. what ever happened to game play?

[2 cents]

You never played GT5 so you don`t know anything about the features it has so as far as we know of GT5 seems to be the best racer out there.

[Cure]

wasnt a fan of dirt chances are wont be a fan of GRID. Kinda sucks that the 50 cars are only sports cars. and from what he said dont expect to have any time of mods or anything like that in the game.

but i must give credit were its due and grid just like dirt has the best damage on cars ive seen on a console.

[power of Green]

Video has crap quality and I can already tell the environmental gameplay detail and graphical quality is beating GT5.

GT5 isn't next-gen enough.

[Danja]

I think this game will look just marginally better that Dirt ...lets hope they add a little more weight to the cars this time around.

But GT5p totally owns in graphics....can't really compare gameplay since Grid is kinda arcadey....but looks fun so i might just pick it up when it's released...for GT5p FTW..!!

[Ri0tSquad]

Not PGR4 or GT5P or Forza 2. It looks almost identical to DiRt...and it looks like it plays like it too.

[snakeater3]

i got all gran turismos from past playstations but a month ago i got dirt and it sucked me in gameplay wise....am i the only one who thinks gt is a tad boring? i mean, dont get me wrong, im no racing enthusiast but i did enjoy dirt more than gt4 on ps2. hit the agree button for "boring gt5P" and the disagree button for "GT5 will be the best racing game ever"

[Danja]

GT5>>> Greatest Racing "Sim" Ever...!!!

GT5p>>> Greatest Racing Sim till , GT5 is released

[squelchy15]

madestar for the last time...it IS coming to 360...i played it for 360 at play.com live...u sir know nothing about games...ur giving even ps3 fanboys a bad name and i didnt think that was possible with how stupid and childish ps3 fanboys are

[LastDance]

You cant compare the 2 games, they are completely different styles of game. GT is in its own league. PGR forza Nfs can all be compared to this. not GT. You would be a fool to think otherwise.
