    What you want to see from GRID

    there will definetely be patches to fix any issues found with the game no doubt about that I do somehow doubt however that with the PS4 XB1 breathing down their necks that there will be DLC for the game. I think CM's main priority is get Autosport out of the door and done. Then start focusing on producing their first batch of next gen games
  3. yeah looks strange but also good as I'm used to seeing Sepang in daylight and racing it in daylight thanks to the F1 games  but it does look good here. Will probably have mine set to maybe 20/30 minute races for Endurance about the same as a 25% F1 race as that sounds the best setting for me. Looking more and more forward to getting my hands on this now though

    The Game Thread!

    Series wise again it would be the Mass Effect trilogy the universe Bioware created is so vast and it just looks so gorgeous. I just find it hard to find a game that matches that in fact I think the only thing that really matches it for being big and bold is the Star Trek series on TV in terms of things that I watch. ME has elements in it from all   my favourite shows all gelled into a nice mixture. Elements from Babylon 5 where you have the jump gates and the station in ME's case the Mass relays and Citadel. you have the exploration and resource gathering of Star Trek and you have the spooky intrigue of the X files  the game even comes with it's own Cigarette Smoking man in the Illusive man head of Cerberus. All in all leading to be a very good universe

    The Game Thread!

    Hopefully yes it does have a recommended processor spec of an FX8350 which is the processor powering my beast so obviously quite demanding. been playing PES today and you'd be thinking the league was upside down given Fulham are in a champions league spot and Liverpool are near the relegation zone still plenty  of games to play though as we've only just finishjed playing matchday 10 Recommended for Ultra settings is an i7 4770k ;) The only thing I'm lacking on the ultra requirements is a GTX 780. Should be all good for a mix of high and ultra though with the 770 :) Talking of games with fairly high sysreq's, I got Wolfenstein: The New Order today. I'm surprised by how much fun it is! The game has a great feel and a great look to it, I can't help but imagine that if Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, Bioshock Infinite, Metro Last Light, and CoD: WaW had a sweaty orgy, Wolfenstein would be the bastard result :D I do wonder what goes on in your mind sometimes ... it's probably best we don't know tbf :p

I'm tempted but I do have a lot of shooters. I may look at buying it on download from Steam but not sure at the moment I shouldn't have too many problems with watchdogs though as like you I have the 770 and 32gb in RAM to play with as well

    Could there be oval tracks?

    you must be talking about the Rustle Creek track as that was really short would have thought though that if we see an oval Indianapolis would be the most likely one given it made an appearance in Grid 2 but as you say they're not all the same and like any other tracks you see in motorsport need different setups to negotiate them successfully
  14. Riverside's a tough cookie, and I know that with the short development time Pocono is even a stretch, but my wishes don't necessarily have to be realistic. Honestly, the only facepalm moment I'll have is if the Indy Car is in without Indianapolis. COTA would be a VERY pleasant bonus, and I've been yapping about it since they opened the circuit two years ago, mostly due to fan provincialism, but also because it's a complex racetrack and loads of fun to play on in the F1 games (game? 2012 was the last one to get a physical release in North America). Having just checked @Loore's twitter feed, I don't find it strange that he went through Dallas (DFW is major air traffic hub). If he was here to see some racetracks there are only a few major permanent facilities in Texas he'd have visited: Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas (right next to Dallas, the track is just north of the metropolitan area). Hosts IRL/USAC Indy Car racing (Dallara DW12) and all three of NASCAR's national series. The track is a 1.5 mile tri-oval. There aren't any other layouts used by major competion.Circuit of the Americas near Austin, Texas. This would have been a 2 hour drive from Dallas, not accounting for traffic. There's an airport in Austin, but it'd have been cheaper to fly him into Dallas and use a car. Used for F1, American Le Mans Series, and a V8 Supercars race in 2012. A road course with multiple layouts. He mentions a lot of screaming about a basketball game on May 14th, this was the day of Game 5 between San Antonio and Portland in the NBA playoffs. Austin doesn't have an NBA team, but San Antonio is about 80 miles south of Austin. Circuit of the Americas will also be the site of the X-Games in a few weeks time, with parts of the circuit being used in the Rallycross course. Texas World Speedway in College Station, Texas. This is a 2.0 mile oval with 3 or 4 road course layouts. It's just west of Houston, and it'd have been cheaper to fly there than take the 4 and a half hour trip by car (maybe). It hasn't been used by any major series for competition since the early 1980s, and is currently only used for club racing and testing by teams in IRL and NASCAR due to the similarity in the Ovals shape and length to tracks in Fontana, California and Brooklyn, Michigan. well I haven't checked @Loore's twitter feed as I don't follow him but I do know that they don't usually use ovals in the Grid games (having played both 1 and 2) generally unless it's a half oval half track type race track like like the F1 Indy track was they have done that and I do know from @justbiglee that he said he had gone to Texas which immediately made me think COTA because COTA is already in CM's games as part of the F1 series as it's in both F1 2012 and F1 2013  I should know as I raced on it earlier today on those games and won and I know that other forms of motorsport use it as well so I though t maybe they're looking at adding it to Autosport as a possible venue. judging by thee Endurance info looks like I was right with my suspicions knew I should've been a detective :p

    there's probably a combination of day and night events but it would be nice to see a day/night transition in Grid Autosport like we see at Abu Dhabi in the F1 games

    mine's been dispatched as well it's got a delivery date of Tuesday but in my opinion the sooner the better really :D Well it'll either come tomorrow or Tuesday, no inbetweens unfortunately! I've had Tuesday release games arrive on Saturday twice before so I'm keeping my fingers crossed! :) agreed but I'm suer it's a good game certainly should be given it's got quite demanding PC specs :)

    I think he's a good player but he does need to sometimes discipline himself more

    Flashbacks......AGAIN

    yeah back on F1 2010 I tried to get into the game  without using flashbacks as well as I felt using flashbacks might feel somewhsat cheating the system but I just found the handling to difficult without them even on Amateur difficulty. It's not that I can't race it's just I think that sometimes I have a tendency to push a little too hard when I'm chasing another car especially if I'm close to that car and trying to get past them. I used to use them more than I do now though as I tended to use them all up when first playing it. Nowadays though I've managed to get good enough to not need more than 1 or 2 a session at most the only place I tend to still need them all is Monaco but then I've always found that a somewhat chaotic track and hard to get to grips with. If I'm out front on my own then on the odd occasion I've managed to get through without using any but thsat is quite rare when that happens. But are we talking offline sjsharp2010, if so, I would think most here do not have any issue if flashbacks are available offline for those that want to use them. But online it a different story. Griefers use flashbacks to their advantage to cause more trouble on the track with flashbacks, some players will take more risks in their racing if they can use a flashback to fix their bad decision to go to fast into turn and get sideways, causing player behind him to hit his car. The quality of racing will be better in the playlists if there no flashbacks to use. Having flashbacks in playlist will drive good players away and cause online to die off early. IMO I know we are talking about online and all my experiences come from offline but to me it's still more or less the same thing as you're still racing with other cars on the track the only difference is the cars are controlled by humans rather than AI at least that's how I see it

    if it's any consolation I got a warning for calling out something similar in one of my matches
