Rally lost water physics and Dirt 4 lost realistic trees and lightning. Don't know about Rally 2.0 cause I've done with the series. Codies started to dissappoint in terms of gfx long time ago... 39 minutes ago, torque99uk said: You have to remember compression from Youtube videos There are many videos of racing games on youtube, but only GRID looks like ****. Doesn't youtube compress other videos? Only GRID ones? And this is defintely not youtube fault: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miatakias_GR Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 I don't think graphics can change a lot until release, is true that Okutama looks ugly in new Grid compare to older Grid 2/GAS games and trees as well let's hope cm to fix this even after release with patch... On the good side car's engine sound is way superior compare yo any other grid game, cars sound angry and unique while in Grid 2 / GAS sounded boring and similar.. Also now cockpit wheel is beautiful enough(ok no comparison with Gt sport, Pcars 2) but for sure an upgrade from Grid 1 and terrible low resolution / darken of GAS... So far in videos i have watched including official one from cm i am afraid damage model is downgraded even compare to Grid 2/GAS, from what i understand wheels don't go off car something was standard in previous grid games and was dramatically effecting control of the car... 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lastbreath Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Even on this picture you can see long draw distance, while in GRID everything is blurred in 20 meters ahead. Also you can see how detailed trees are, instead cardboxes from GRID. Just think: why developers keep silence? They could easily come here and wright down: "guys, don't worry, this is alpha version, visuals will be updated, shadow will be improved, trees will be replaced, no need to panick". At least they could make a statement, smth like: "yes, we know the problems with visuals, we work with old engine/consoles, so we have limited resources, we'll try to compensate it with big variety of cars, tracks and good gameplay, stay cool". Like it was in 2013, when Loore, community admin, actively worked with audience. But now there is no work with community at all, only with streamers, which say "how cool visuals are" and AT THIS SAME TIME bad shadows from the middle of 2000th are shown at the screen. So cringe...

The draw distance is irrelevant when everything looks blurry, awful and so on anyways... All games have these kinds of things that look awful, it just happens to be mostly trees in GRID19.

It's not amazing, it's overcast and thus looks a bit dull. It is taken in a place where most interesting elements are in the background, and there is a lot of empty space. But... sky looks good, it does not have burnt out clouds. Trees are detailed, even at that distance, and they don't look cartoonish. And it's a 5 years old game... Now look at this, 5 years later... 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a very good trailer, congrats to the people involved. But this is NOT gameplay, this is a scripted trailer specifically designed to pump you up with cinematic motion, fast cuts and trying to hide all the flaws clearly present in the real gameplay. Trailers are never representative of gameplay, as they are doctored to output the best possible representation of the game despite any real gameplay limitations. Same as Bullshots (fake screenshots), which Codemasters is famous for. For example, GRID Autosport never looked this good: This is GRID 2019 4K60 gameplay: This: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastbreath Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Frankly speaking, this last trailer really looks better, for example LOD for trees is definitely increased: But they still can't be compared with trees from GRID2/Autosport.

Again, that is NOT gameplay. When I see a gameplay video with better trees or any of the other listed problems fixed, I won't have any problem saying so and congratulating Codemasters and the GRID team for improving and fixing all these on the edge of release. 🤷♂️ Meanwhile, this is what we have. GRID 2019 on the left, GRID Autosport 2014 on the right. I even applied a Blur filter to the GAS shot for a better chance of comparision: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRID 2's Barcelona sunset, this is good lighting GRID 2's Okutama, look at that rock wall GRID 2's Miami, look at those detailed palmtrees and shrubs, good indirect illumination and good SOFT shadows Now...

Especially in GRID2 for 2013. I also think you guys overreact. There is no GRID game out there that wouldn't have the kinds of issues you guys are constantly pointing out about GRID19. Sure trees may be better in older games, but GAS at least suffers with low quality textures, low quality models, objects jumping into the area you can see, clear jumps to higher quality objects and so on. Feel free to share images of stuff that looks bad in GRID19 so that the team can take a look at them, but I don't see the point in "comparing" the graphics with another title when we will pick the best of those games, and the worst of this one 🙂 We'll most likely be able to overwrite the graphics to some point. We'll see on launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What? some tracks like Paris had a bit of excessive contrast too, but far from "absolutely terrible", specially for a 2014 title: GRID 2 looked very good in 2013: But wait, even Race Driver GRID, back in 2008, 11 years ago, looked this great: TBH, the most notable improvement are the cars.

It's not normal they are flashing like that. On the other hand, there goes another detail that is much better in GAS: Camera shaking and rolling on curves. It makes the experience much more immersive, with a greater sense of speed and danger. GRID 2019 has a rigid camera, like it's attached to the cockpit instead of the Driver's head. This should be at least an option: Camera Shake On/Off or a strength slider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Cameras don't need much of a shake effect, but they are definitely lacking some movement and thus have no proper dynamics. GRID 2 and Autosport always had some spectacular lighting, but if the above comparisons don't open your eyes to how bad the new game looks then nothing will. trees that appear to be unlit hard shadows with a low resolution even in close range environment reflections are static cubemaps exposure / eye adaption is way too dark I can't wrap my head around some of your arguments. How can you disregard this level of sloppiness with something like "pick the best of those games, and the worst of this one"? And even if that was the case, it wouldn't even make much of a difference because the best this game offers is simply not good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
