Grid demo have you played it???

I don't know about all of you but I was very! impressed in the new GRID demo!!! waaay better than gt5 It made me never want to play GT ever again!!!! handling was better, more fun with crashes and on top of that when you skid out you don't get freaking sucked outta the race you actually have the speed to catch up to other players! Anyways I hope those who havn't tried this demo to go and try it seriously!

Hmm, i wasnt expecting people to like this game so much, i didn't really give it much attention!

I think i'll download the demo and see for myself now :D

I really enjoyed it. Picked up DIRT to tide me over until GRID comes out. It is however a completely different type of racing game and in no way competes with GT5.emitsu97

GRID doesn't compare to GT5. GT5 is a sim, while GRID is arcade attempting to be a sim.

GT5 is way better in my opinion. I either like to play an arcade game or a sim game - not something inbetween - because too many things are lame and hard to judge. In GT5 you have to slow down at most turns, but in GRID you can go full speed around turns.

But where GriD differentiates is with its damage modeling. You could go crazy around a turn, but you may slam into a wall and destroy your car, or you might hit another car and cause damage and in turn hamper how well your car drives. As realistic as GT is, it doesn't take any damage into account.

There is room for all of these games and it's great to have the choice.

Grid is NOT supposed to be a sim. The developers stated it's supposed to be a cross between Arcade & Simulator.

They nailed it quite well.

Personally I'm disappointed that it isn't more sim-like.zaphod_b

You arent the only one - I hated it.

Then the developers did their job well.

I have to agree with the original poster. I loved playing the Grid demo for the 1 or so hours that I did play it more so than the almost 2 weeks that I spent playing GT. I also have to agree that Grid demo is better than GT5:P. While some may say that you can't compare the two, but I think that that statement is incorrect. Both games are driving games, whether its a SIM or not, doesn't change anything, they both have cars in them, and you race the cars. The lack of crash physics and real time damage totally ruined the game experience for me in GT5:P.

The demo was great but I did not like racing in circuits, i like to race on streets like Burnout or Midnight Raching. You know what I mean ?

It isnt attempting to be a sim, its just trying to be an arcade racer.

I hate arcade racers..
