neither would I sa tey'er both different series running on different platforms and engines the only thing you can compare it with aer other games of the series really other Grid games and the only question I can resally ask is. Is this game better than Grid 1/2? and right now judging by what I've observed of the game and right now I csan only go on observations and feedback others have given but the answer seems to be yes it is at least that's the answer right now we won't know 100% until the game is in our hands though

agreed they'll support the leagues and supply patches where needed but I think that's as far CM will want to go as soon as Autosport is done. As I think they'll want to move onto the next gen now like the other gaming companies have

Here is another vid of Endurance in action I found on Sim racing's website https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pr9w3p7KSaY#t=21 -
Having an Endurance racing day today just hada go at the Endurance races in Tier 3 of Shift now to do a couple of 100% races on F1 2012

Thank you ^:)^ yeah I always thought that would always be the case it's just an early game prompter to help people get up to speed with the game. ot of games have them kind of like a tutorial section in a sense

Come on this "only gave them a year to turn this around" thing doesnt make sense at all. I mean since when Grid become annual title ?? Who actually expect 3rd Grid title out so fast one year after the 2nd one ?? So why rush to announce it if they actually not ready ?? Yeah i agree everything in those preview video looks great (except AI i guess) but i am hardcore cockpit player so if the final cockpit still like that then i just dont feel like spend money on it, i dont expect it to be super high detail but at least not like this which is so cheap & low. makes sense to me though besides I never said Grid would become an annual title just said that that's what the guys at the top of CM decided to do the point being hat when you hav such a tight schedule you can only do so much. That said we both have made our choices and I'm happy to have made mine to buy and back this game.

I've just stepped outside of the only thread I generally post in and guess what I find . . . ~O) somebody being honest for once? :p

I dont think so, because if they not ready why not just keep the game in the dark and only announce after everything is done since actually no one is expecting this Grid come so fast just one year after Grid 2. No one. So the lack of time is not logic. No one actually know this game is coming if you dont announce it going to release at late of June. Its more like they actually not quite interested to do it for the same reason as Grid 2 but force to do it for marketing purposes to say: "See cockpit is back" as one extra selling point so the result is we have a lazy & low detail cockpit which actually look like Grid 2 mod version. Of course may be the final game cockpit is actually much detail than what we saw so will have to wait & see. To me its very simple; If the cockpit really like this in the final game i wont buy, if better then i buy. Definitely wont pre-order right now. well I still think it's lack of time as I think the big wigs at CM I'm assuming only gave them a year to turn this around. I think they do care otherwise they wouldn't have put the cockpit back in they know they made mistakes with Grid 2 and they've only been given a short time in order to rectify them I think.i've seen enough to convince me to buy this game as my pre-order is in and everything I've seen ever since I've placed it has backed those feelings up. one thing's for suer I think CM have learnt the lessons necessary from Grid 2 and it looks to me that regardless of the circumstances and short time frame they've created a masterpiece this time

Grid Autosport Videos and screen shots thread
sjsharp2010 replied to sjsharp2010's topic in General Discussion
well there's 2 ways you can do it you can either do it just by linking to the videos page by copy pasting the address into your post or alternatively you can click the show source button in the toolbar and copy paste the address in that to make it show up just as in my post above. It took me a while to figure out how to do it but I figured it out. Unfotrunately I haven't quite figured out how to straighten out the text around it but it's a start -
watch the occasional race on TV not a big follower though got the 2013 game mostly for a little bit of oval racing fun I quite enjoy it but I don't play it that much tbf but I think that's partly down to having lots of other stuff to do right now

But it's still only an official camera mod. Cockpit is low-detailed. Why modders can create highly detailed car interior for GTA4, but official developers can't? I guess it is either lack of time to fully polish all 80 cockpits or the last gen consoles could not handle high detail cockpit due to low RAM capacity. If there is a next gen release of Autosport, then, low detail cockpits arent acceptable. Most GTA4 cars are took from other games, such as Forza which the cars from Forza already have detailed cockpit. I'm guessing it must be down to lack of time because there always deadlines for companies to meet and get things done by I don't use cockpit view generally so it isn't a huge issue to me personally but I can definitely see why some are miffed about it though

although I still like Grid 2 in fact just bought a DLC pack as I never touched that when it first came out and thought I'd give it a look in SP mode of course. The moer I'm hearing the moer I'm liking too. Yes Grid 2 has it's frailties but in my opinion was still a fun game just not as much fun as it probably could have been the career mode was just too short. It look like they've learnt their lesson for this time round as it sounds like Autosport will be a BLAST. So credit for CM for dusting themselves down and giving it another go because this is exactly the kind of response the Grid series needed. I just hope the F1 guys take note of this and deliver something equally impressive. Won't hold my breath but it would be nice :) I gave grid 2 a fair go (300+ hours) then, I just lost interest in it because of a number of things Handling, Always on mic, career took only 72 races to beat on hardest settings as they all dove a grip line and style. GAS is different the AI is gonna push and worry you at times, Been playing on hard as thats where I usually start before switching levels. I know it is. I prefer a moer sim style handling anyway myself or at least a semi sim as I'm a pretty precise driver I'm quite slow (which is generally why I play on the lower levels) but I am quite precise in where I put my car in terms of my racing line and as you say the Grid 2 game as I played a couple of races on the DLC couple of nights ago and the cars were very slidey which I find useful for the drift events on the game but not much else as usually I suck in that part of the racing at least in Shift I do. I'm practicing a lot on F1 2012 and Shift 1 at the moment. Was also planning on playing Shift 2 as well once I've completed the first. I normally start on the bottom level which in this case will be very easy and tweak up as necessary later if I find I'm thrashing the AI too much. I'm normally conservative when it comes to playing new games at first and generally start off at the bottom till I get to grips with how a game handles.

Never bought Grid due to being Arcade but this one look good, but please
sjsharp2010 replied to Naeemali007's topic in General Discussion
I agree I li9ke the idea of having practice and qualifying too starting fr5om the back of the grid get a little annoying sometimes especially as you do need an elbows out approach to get through the field and I hate fighting to aggressively sand havi9ng to drive like Maldonado. :p I know that aggressive will be needed sometimes if I don't set a fast enough time but at least it's a chance to limit that. -
Colombia have been in world cups before as I think they were there in italia 90 and USA 94 as I think they made the quarter finals in one year too in the wc could be wrong though
-
Indeed just so that everybody knows I have created a vid thread up for Autosport if anybody finds or wishes to put their vids in there you're welcome to do so as it'll help keep them in one place for reference http://forums.codemasters.com/discussion/692/grid-autosport-videos-and-screen-shots-thread#latest

I don't even see why you need to monitor it... impossible times just shouldn't make it onto the leaderboards in the first place, they should be automatically rejected. Why aren't they? Cheaters always find a way, we do one thing, they'll then do another, is a never ending battle. You're right though, times like 00:02:00 shouldn't find their way onto a leaderboard. yeah I think the only thing is monitor it and delete them when they pop up not easy but probably the only effective option

GRID Autosport confirmed cars/tracks/features
sjsharp2010 replied to RallyDriven's topic in General Discussion
that's one thing I'm liking too there wasn't really enough circuit tracks in Grid 2 for my liking. I'm not complaining about street tracks as they do have their place in racing but the way they were used in Grid it felt more like playing Dirt than Grid tbh. Grid should be more track focused like F1 but with the touring/Endurance cars we see in the games. It's certainly looks like that Autosport is quite literally putting this series back on track. :p I too enjoy the extra circuits we have coming in Autosport, although I always will have a special place in my heart for open road tracks. I, personally, would have welcomed some of the point-to-points back in this installment, maybe re-working them into lapped circuits. Yeah it could have worked as part of the tuner/street disciplines I suppose but I think there's stil plenty of content within the game anyway without it by the looks of it plus I heard somewhere that those events will still be available online they just won't be part of the sp mode -
Did they email your Steam key right away? I'm also thinking of ordering from them but I just want to know if they're legit... Also, did you get the "Black Edition" preorder bonus from them? No they email you a page that will have the steam key when its released/ready for preloading. I'm pretty sure theyre legit after asking around on some other forums, but i guess theres no real way to know, but at that price it was a far better option than anywhere else. And as far as i know, its not the Black edition, but tbh i'm not really interested in it, I've not ordered the black edition either as I thought it wasn't erally worth it and alsio as an offline player I doubt it would be that much use to me. B ut then I went with the standard disc version

Nice one keep- that up and they'll be building a statue of you outside White Hart Lane well a simulated statue anyway :p YAAY now where did I put that hammer and chisel :p

Season Challenge; What is the AI difficulty on Hard?
sjsharp2010 replied to Quattro7's topic in General Discussion
I know Easy is generally Amateur pace as I generally race that in career mode so would imagine medium is pro and Hard was Legend not 100% sure though -
Just thought I'd say I've found a lot of good vids on youtube about pretty much all the opening events in career mode in all the disciplines if people want to start up a thread and post them up on this Forum it might make it a lot easier for people to find and see what goes on in the various Autosport disciplines. Just an idea I may set up a thread to do this later if nobody beats me to it but don't have time right now

What do you want in F1 2014? GAME IDEAS
sjsharp2010 replied to mateyapfc's topic in General Discussion
Cars must use just one setting for gear box for the whole season, so we will see 8th gear only on really fast tracks like Monza. yeah forgot about mentioning that rule :D -
Would you like to see a full blown IndyCar game form Codemasters?
sjsharp2010 replied to georgejad's topic in General Discussion
on one hand I'd like it but on the other I'm not so suer yes CM produce some great racing games but with F1 already in their hands do they rally need another open wheeler to distract them given what happened with F1 2013 I'm not so suer it's worth the hassle would be nice to see one but I think it would distract from the other series -
