Game has half the content of Autosport. No drift, no demolition derby... plenty of people out there saying Multiplayer is horrible.

jesped Posted October 17, 2019 Author Share Posted October 17, 2019 I went back to Project CARS 2 these days, a game that is already 2 years old, and the difference is abysmal. Everything is configurable/customizable, all sorts of performance options, effects, post, camera's behavior... to the point you can even edit the FFB files. Dynamic full day-to-night cycle, seasons that affect even trees and vegetation on the tracks, dynamic weather with a miriad of different weather conditions, all grades of rain, storms, thunderstorms, mist, snow, real reflections on the tracks, cars lights generate shadows even from other cars, 60 TRACKS, 182 CARS, VR, ... 600+ mods... And this is not a powerhouse with a big budget like some always say when comparing to GT Sport or Forzas. But hey, they don't have Fernando Alonso's sticker on it, so I guess GRID wins. 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about "the spectrum", unless you are referring to the quality and variety spectrum, that is. I'm not criticizing GRID for not being a sim, but for ALL the rest already said. I loved Race Driver GRID, GRID Autosport and even GRID 2 with some modding, it's not at all a problem of GRID being too arcade for me. Love arcades too, even NFS.

You were never going to like GRID if you were expecting all that in it. It's a comparision between what GRID has and what one of its competitors on the market has. Not saying I would never like GRID if it doesn't have all that. It just shows how short it is in every possible aspect. But what is most important, comparing to how great Race Driver GRID was for a 2008 game, and how very good GRID Autosport was for a 2014 game. GRID is nothing great or good for a 2019 game, it is mediocre / mildly decent at best, overall. After 5 years, I expected a quality proud succesor to Race Driver GRID and GRID Autosport.

If there are no proper arcades at this gen - it doesn't make poorly developed game rich. I still can play GRID2 or Autosport and get better visuals and richer content. There is Barcelona comparison between GAS and GRID2019 and it looks like a comparison of games released at the same year. GRID2019 doesn't look like 5 years improvement. Visuals are the same and even worse (trees, lightning, LOD). So what are we arguing about? About X-shaped trees in 2019? This is pathetic! ----- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you trying to exclude any possible competition so there's an exclusive category for GRID itself where it is the best among nobody else? Forza Horizon 3 & 4 and NFS's are very comparable to GRID, even if they are Open World (which should make them more limited, but doesnt). 2 hours ago, FLAW3D said: What arcade racer this gen would you say is better? (Dont say Driveclub just because it has fancy graphics lol) "lol" This is a thread for discussing graphics, pal. Gameplay is way more subjective and debatable and it should require a whole different thread even more complex than this one, listing all sorts of details and subtleties. But regarding visuals, Driveclub, a 5 years old game, is way way superior to GRID. It looks like a whole generation superior. Same for NFS 2015, a 4 years old game that looks a whole generation superior to GRID too. Of course both Forza Horizon 3 and 4. Those on the more arcade side, even though people tend to ignore that Driveclub added a "Hardcore Handling" option that, along with setting all assists off made the game much more "simcade" and hard as hell. On the more simcade side, Forza, GT Sport and Project CARS 2 with all assists on 😄 and difficulty and AI aggresiveness matched to your liking. And F1 2018, F1 2019 and olders, whichever category you like them put in, look much better than GRID. GRID is a game that being in the middle of a lot of its competitors, totally fails to do better than any of them in every aspect. Being a closed track game instead of Open World, it doesn' feature any dynamic ToD day-to-night or dynamic weather like most of the mentioned above do. Far from bringing any innovative tech or features, it goes back to obsolete solutions like fake reflections or a bad TAA implementation with far too visible problems. The best looking thing in GRID are the cars, but it's not like they look any better than in any of the other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leo Natan Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 @jesped The Switch port of GAS is really good one. It looks brilliant. It even has a ~60fps mode, which, ironically, lowers shadows and crowd quality 😂. I bet base PS4 would take that compromise here as well. Coupled with the better driving model and much, much more content and tracks, the Switch port is a much more value for money. 👍 How sad is that?

Leo Natan Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Vehicles are a lot more detailed in 2019. But the tracks let it down... Another thing lacking in graphics is any kind of shadows from the headlights in night races: Not to environment, not to cars. This was a basic feature as back as NFS Shift 2 at least: Notice how the headlights cast shadows of all environment objects, including other cars (not seen in the video above).
