@@maskhairil2286 i mean i like the sounds but the rest is meh, if ita on discount buy it, it isnt worth full price sjbce most content is dlc, i still love it though
The main reason why i enjoy games like GRID more than most other racing games was that the AI made more mistakes and acted more like an actual race driver. it makes any race have that splash of variety and intense moments like the ones you had.
@Funky das antigas Catᴼᴿᴵᴳᴵᴻᴬᴸ yeah this is prevalent in all of the grid games. The ai rams you around almost every corner and their cars are heavier than yours
GRID is fantastic, miles better than gran turismo and assetto corsa type of boring games. This game, downloaded GRID Autosport on my laptop to play with Ps4 controller and blown me away! after that I hardly touched Gran turismo sport on ps4 lol. Assetto corsa is just useless on ps4, shouldn’t have bought it. Codemasters literally have no weaknesses in thier games, fun , hardcore , intense , immense and bloody fantastic!!
@@TheGrinningSkull Outside of Mario Kart and games of the like I'd never really played a racing game with real cars and with a more "real" feel. Then I got a used original Xbox and it only came with PGR2, so I gave it a shot. It was the only game I owned on that console for a good three months because it was all I wanted to play. I honestly can't wait to play this because it's been so long since we've had a well done road racing arcade title(Horizon is good, but it's less about the racing and more about the open world).
Not the only reasons for the sense of speed. Forza horizon has close city streets and what not but the sense of speed is terrible. Getting the sense of speed good is an art and design choice
"Touge" track is here, but a proper "Touge" type of race like original game is not here unfortunately (at launch). but I'm very doubt Codies will include it as free update later.
I can't get it working with my logitech driving force GT. I either can get it working to some degree, so the wheel and pedals work right at least, but have zero FFB, or I have FFB just right, but the wheel does nothing, and pedals are the wrong way around. I tried for hours, scoured the forums for solutions, but nothing I tried would get it working properly.
I bought logitech g920 wheel yesterday and im having trouble with it whilst trying to play Grid the wheel keeps spinning left and right non stop and becomes unplayable can someone please help me iv tried everything i.e firmware update reset power cycles etc
@@souldry It's an extremely grippy racer. The best I can do to describe it is if the childhood experience of playing Hot Wheels was a video game. But because of the insane speeds, you need to be able to make extremely small adjustments at a moment's notice, and I just don't think something as unwieldy as a wheel would be a good fit.
The moment you raced on the wheel I could already see that it was a huge amount of fun. I was sceptical 🤨 thinking controller will be the go. I’m getting this for sure. V8 Supercars gameplay I would love Jimmy. Thanks mate!
I know this comment is old, but I tried the V8 touring supercars series with a wheel, as I thought it was too difficult on a gamepad, and the difference was immediately apparent, as with a wheel you can really tell the cars what to do and make small corrections
@@taquito1561 This game's handling imo is sometimes okay and sometimes can get too oversteery. I completed 75% of the game with a pad, then decided to do the rest with a wheel, and I had way more fun with the wheel. I can't wait to try out the next grid game with a wheel.
Looks about 1000% more fun than yet another dry, boring hardcore sim. As a guy who actually raced in SCCA (amateur), I can tell you that most sims today are harder to drive than a real car. And several teach you to do things (like suddenly lifting mid-corner ) that would get you into big trouble IRL.
Totally agreed. Games like Gran turismo sport and assetto corsa really dont seem real.. like wtf braking 200 miles away to stop in gran turismo in the corner. And assetto corsa - car shakes and handels horrible, even my brothers and cousins at my house are very bored to stare at this boring so called “sim” figure.. In reality you can still enter at fair speed. Literally, I went to the track for Lamborghini Gallardo 2010 V10 driving experience and kept braking like the game while I could have entered corners much faster. As I progressed on more laps I understood the aspect and hell that I can tell it was nothing like these games (project cars 2 seems the closest best simulation game), then I just boosted along the corners, being a fan of a lamborghini I just knew so much about it - The glorious V10 Naturally Aspirated engine has a symphony like no other. I think GRID puts you in a realistic scenario because the car actually feels solid, fast and throaty. GRiD Autosport is my favourite from the racing games I have tried so far, gran turismo isn’t too bad but can improve on racing honestly, Assetto Corsa is just unplayable - honestly a full shit game(£30 was a waste). GRID Autosport type of games are miles better than the new brake boring sims. Not gonna lie but its really not fun driving so slow and braking everywhere unrealistically like in Turismo sport. Only that if GRiD has pit stops it would have made it almost perfect! Heres the truth, accept it or not 🤷🏼♂️ 😁
The GT3 cars of Assetto Corsa are realistic. There are several pro drivers, who compare it to their real life experience and lap times. Also many street cars especially from Porsche are very realistic, as stated by Porsche themselves and their customers. ...and btw i love GRID! :)
@@theweeknd2725 Assetto corsa is so unplayable, sim racers are actually getting a go on real racing cars thanks to Assetto physics... Lets face it, Assetto Corsa is not unplayable, in fact, its considered one of the best simulators ever, the problem is obviously your lack of skills, and the fact you call it a "game" says it all. On Assetto corsa you'll just take corners as fast as real life, you can put identical lap times on tracks compared to real life, you can practice your real life driving skills and general racing maturity... Saying GRID is better, is absolutely bullshit and says a lot about your "driving style"...
I put hundreds of hours on the original with keyboard controls and under 30fps on an ancient rig. Eventually it made me save for a steering wheel and from there there was not turning back. Together with test drive unlimited it gave me a love of motoring and sim racing. Glad to see codemasters did more justice to this one than the previous grid games!
man i loved this track on the original. Was able to take those corners at the bottom of the hill with no brake. oooo good time... i need to get this game big time
I honestly really like the Grid games... Far more than the "sim" games... Especially so with a wheel. The handling always just felt "natural". The cars had balance.
I Play the game using a Logitech G29 wheel and absolutely love it, it's nice to have fun gaming for a change instead of grinding out laps just to gain a few tenths 🏎️💨
The problem with Need for Speed is its lack of identity - ever since Underground, it's tried to copy the latest fashion instead of sticking to its guns (except for the brief Criterion era). Though the drift-heavy handling is kind of a problem too. If only it at least were more like Asphalt, it could be bearable...
Great video Jimmy, the original GRID was fantastic the sequels not so much IMO, this looks like a return to form for codemasters. That R32 sounds epic!
Good to know that the game feels right on the wheel. I don't have a super pro wheel (g29) but i was hoping to use it on Grid, I too am a bit tired of Race sims, and GT sport is a bit streamlined. This game definitely fills a gap for a more arcade yet challenging racing game. Can't wait to play it
When I caught the stream the other day, I was rather alarmed at the lack of a sizeable grid size and I thought, "only 16 cars? Really Codies??" But soon after that I caught a vid on YT - from the 1971 British Saloon Car race at Crystal Palace, with Murray Walker on comms, a full 25 years before "OHHH.... IT'S TARQUINI!!!" That race only featured 16 cars, it contained Camaros, Mini Coopers and a fair few modified Escorts (one with an ex-F1 gearbox, one with F1 tyres, and if I recall, one with a V8 sneaked in). There was also a Vauxhall Viva driven off its nuts by the legendary Gerry Marshall, a name who is absolutely synonymous with the Griffin - yes, even more than John Cleland. There, said it. If you haven't seen it, I urge you to see it, never mind that it's B&W. That race reminded me of the type of race that Grid offers. Absolutely mental.
I may not be a sim racer but my arcade racing love actually came from arcade racing cabinets. Where 20 dollars could last for good amount of time :) (outrun, daytona 500, sega rally etc to name a few)
Nice. Looks like a blast. I really enjoyed the last Grid. Would be even more fun with NLRV3 motion and Accuforce. Motion worked on the last one so here hoping it will here as well. :)
Wow, do autosport work with the V3? Then I have to download that again!! Never tried that with wheel and pedals, but that game was pretty fun even with a pad, really nice crash effects! 😁
Watching you play the career mode with a wheel would be awesome Jimmy! Any random races you might want to try its also great, I think the wheel adds a new dimension and makes it more fun, specially adding commentary of yours about how it feels and what it does
Looks like good fun. And nothing wrong with enjoying an 'arcade' or 'simcade' racer with a wheel. Personally I had a blast with my wheel and The Crew (before a patch broke wheel support for my model of wheel)... and I still love having my wheel when playing arcade classics like Outrun 2.
I thought this was brilliant. Almost a spiritual successor to PGR/PGR2. A similar fast/close/fun feel to the racing, with enough feel to not quite be a pure arcade game. More of this please, Codies
Autosport was a gamepad/wheel type of game you could match your gamepad times on racenet challenges on many cars but i saw in some cars gamepad was just faster. If 2019 is more a wheel game it would be good and seeing improved force feedback will make me happy as i played autosport with minimal vibration, rotation and weight to have greater control in an arcadish game. What would be bomb is that all the cars had different steering angles like in simulators
Usually running Rf2 while mostly pimping setups, getting constant frames, searching for best FFB values, waitin in warmup/formation laos, i am so glad spending this 30 Bucks for instant fun and feel out of the box ! Podium DD1 paired with Sprint pedals were found instantly, calibrated and ready to go!! No further adjusting, amazing, using the rf2 settings on wheel just feeling right, not compareable in details but enough to have fun. Hopefully they correct the min Fov of 55 which adds this immensiv sense of speed while normally i am using 20 on sims. Seat should be made moveable too with coming patches. So far even no prob with that spartanic multiplayer section cause it works fine be in the race with others in a minute or two, beside that career on hard level suits nice too. not to forget graphics fluid and nice as hell on High settings with Gtx1080. No Sli profile so far, but really dont missing it. So these are just my two or three pence, have fun guys !
Actually grid with a wheel is SUPER FUN any far my favorite racing game with a wheel so far, I’ve played wrc , asseta corza, wreckfest, crew 2, formula 2016 and let me tell you grid is the best on g29 wheel in my opinion it’s very satisfying , also I’ve played nfs heat and payback with it (which isn’t great no force feedback on those games, also not compatible with hot pursuit )
I don't mind playing casual racers with a pad, but it's about time a game pad specifically designed with racing in mind was made again. I miss the ol Negcon.
Appreciate you doing this. There literally isn't anything out there about how the game plays on a wheel, until now. Whether I buy it or not was really going to depend on that. I'm fine with arcade/SIM, because I'm looking for really active casual multiplayer as opposed to hardcore sim. Forza is fun on a wheel, but it's annoying how much an advantage the controller has. Not to mention how difficult it is to get the wheel settings right on Forza and no adjustable FoV fur cockpit view.
On the topic of games that arent serious me and my friends play project cars almost every night because of how easy it is to get the hang of and its easy to run and od course the vr support. I personally think uta thw best one to play with frienda
I will probably get this game to go along with the other 2 Grid games I have, but not on its initial release. When STEAM does some sale pricing on the game, I will add it to my Racing collection then like I have done on many of my games. Seems like so many of the Grid tracks have been moved over into Assetto Corsa, so other than all the animations of Grid, I am driving the same tracks as this one shown in the video. Thanks for the Review Jimmy.
It is now 2024 and just adding one last thing. I really enjoy all the GRID series games. They are all fun to race the AI cars and find the games very entertaining. Most are just short races and start in the back of the pack to work our way to first place before race is completed. I do use a Thrustmaster TMX wheel with all the GRID games. Also with VORPX I can somewhat use my VR headset - not true VR, but mainly in 3D - it is kind of a different look. The GRID games take me away from the serious SIM racing games. Anyway, take care.
I’m a bit both ways about using the wheel or game pad for Grid. Wheel is always more fun, but having a game I can plonk down and play without setting anything up is also nice. But that is probably more Forza Horizon than this.
3:16 So we're just going to ignore the bonkers 360-degree spin and recovery by the AI to stay ahead of Jimmer, then. EDIT: Obviously Jimmer paid attention for his own spin at 7:39. Noice!
I already pre-ordered this game. My love for this series knows no bounds, even if I thought the second game was a step backwards and the third was a quick apology for the second one.
I like using a wheel with most racing games, even one's dubbed arcade. Reminds me of playing at the arcade as a kid and how badly I wished I had a wheel and shifter at home. Some games are so far removed from the experience of actually driving, such as the Burnout games, that it doesn't really add to the experience and feels more natural with a pad. The original Grid felt pretty natural with a wheel but obviously certain characteristics of the cars are exaggerated and it's more forgiving (unlike the psychopathic AI). I remember people slamming NFS Shift and saying how bad it was with a wheel and how it was like "driving (their words not mine) a boat". I actually really enjoyed that with a wheel, but I think most people overlooked something REALLY important though. I figured out that the steering ratios of the cars were setup for 360 degrees rotation by default. If you set your wheel to 360 degrees or adjusted the steering ratios to suit your rotation (you could lift values from sims or just do some basic maths) it felt pretty good. Still arcadey, but it felt natural.
Getting ready for some new GRID I've been dipping into some GRID Autosport back compatible on Xbox One. Its truly a hidden gem of a game with a wheel. If Codemasters picks up where Autosport left off then I'm going to love GRID 19.
Well that makes me want this game even more. its one of the things i like about say playing GT5 or even asseto corsa (with assists at least) is if i feel like it i can play both with a pad or a wheel which is great as i for what ever reason find driving with a wheel alot of the time alot more chill and realexing. like when driving a jag etype in FH4 with the classical radio channel on doing long races ah good times.

The sense of speed is amazing! Something I feel many current racing games lack.
It looks scary in some places. I like!
I think you can improve those things by just changing the FOV view but yeah, this sense of speed is really nice
Yeah I felt the same through those high speed corners especially at the bottom of the hill seems like the type of game I'd enjoy
It's a lot because of the sliding. Sliding ist not faster, but looks faster.
Not the only reasons for the sense of speed. Forza horizon has close city streets and what not but the sense of speed is terrible. Getting the sense of speed good is an art and design choice
GRID: Autosport was excellent on the wheel. I've spent more than 200 hours playing it and it was fantastic.
I 1.500
IRLANTII STI holy shit you must be god at that game
Finally I found someone who enjoys Autosport as much as I do. Quite a few people hate that game for some reason.
The sounds and damage is what i really enjoyed on the first GRID, this looks really fun aswell does it have Touge races?

So true best game on the wheel I think the most fun
Nice to see a wheel being used for change and cockpit cam!!! 99 percent of vids have been gamepad and chase cam.
This game sounds, looks and feels so awesome and action oriented with simulation touch.
Gonna be a great game.
This game is almost completely different with onboard view and a wheel. Very cool to watch, really.

I thought this was brilliant. Almost a spiritual successor to PGR/PGR2. A similar fast/close/fun feel to the racing, with enough feel to not quite be a pure arcade game. More of this please, Codies

Thanks for your feedback and honest review jimmy 👍
Graphics is insane on xbox series x. Fun arcade racing game. Feels like driving a go kart with drifting style.
Glad to see it’s not Bwoken! On the wheel.
This video has sold me on the game now. Love some arcade racing every now and then so long as the wheel has good support.
Its not arcade
Unverified Boy. You made me laugh and cry at the same time😂 Hope YT will verify you asap
grid 2008 is a fucking masterpiece, still play it a lot. couldn't get into 2, autosport or 2019, just missing that same magic
wish any sim or racing game had Ai like this i had so much fun in any codemasters circuit racing game it felt different per any race
Man, this looks like so much fun! Excellent video!
that windshield crack was nice and believable! game looks cool!
I am looking forward to it, a lot of us who play sims probably started out by going to Arcades and playing games like Sega Rally and Daytona.
I'll be getting this for sure! I looked at your short stream of it too, it looks like a fun game to pick up when youre in full yeet-mode.
Autosport was a gamepad/wheel type of game you could match your gamepad times on racenet challenges on many cars but i saw in some cars gamepad was just faster. If 2019 is more a wheel game it would be good and seeing improved force feedback will make me happy as i played autosport with minimal vibration, rotation and weight to have greater control in an arcadish game. What would be bomb is that all the cars had different steering angles like in simulators
There's a grid arcade machine in an arcade near me and I guess using a wheel on the game is the same as those and they're a load of fun!
i spent some many time in the OG grid on my Logitech MOMO wheel. hope this game bring back the same feeling
I played Grid autosport on wheel the whole career. Was a LOT of fun. Very much recomend it for something not tooo serious
the choice of cars in this game is fucking sick, i want to play it already
Usually running Rf2 while mostly pimping setups, getting constant frames, searching for best FFB values, waitin in warmup/formation laos, i am so glad spending this 30 Bucks for instant fun and feel out of the box ! Podium DD1 paired with Sprint pedals were found instantly, calibrated and ready to go!! No further adjusting, amazing, using the rf2 settings on wheel just feeling right, not compareable in details but enough to have fun. Hopefully they correct the min Fov of 55 which adds this immensiv sense of speed while normally i am using 20 on sims. Seat should be made moveable too with coming patches. So far even no prob with that spartanic multiplayer section cause it works fine be in the race with others in a minute or two, beside that career on hard level suits nice too. not to forget graphics fluid and nice as hell on High settings with Gtx1080. No Sli profile so far, but really dont missing it. So these are just my two or three pence, have fun guys !
Actually grid with a wheel is SUPER FUN any far my favorite racing game with a wheel so far, I’ve played wrc , asseta corza, wreckfest, crew 2, formula 2016 and let me tell you grid is the best on g29 wheel in my opinion it’s very satisfying , also I’ve played nfs heat and payback with it (which isn’t great no force feedback on those games, also not compatible with hot pursuit )
Jimmy, would you compare the steering feel with the F1 2019 game?
Well, somehow those sounds are gorgeous!
I don't mind playing casual racers with a pad, but it's about time a game pad specifically designed with racing in mind was made again. I miss the ol Negcon.
Appreciate you doing this. There literally isn't anything out there about how the game plays on a wheel, until now. Whether I buy it or not was really going to depend on that. I'm fine with arcade/SIM, because I'm looking for really active casual multiplayer as opposed to hardcore sim. Forza is fun on a wheel, but it's annoying how much an advantage the controller has. Not to mention how difficult it is to get the wheel settings right on Forza and no adjustable FoV fur cockpit view.
Is it just me or is the audio out of sync when he's speaking?
Ughh. I wouldn’t have noticed that if you hadn’t said that now I can’t unnotice it 😂😂
No, it's the low FPS.
It's out of sync. He tried to fix it, but managed to make it worse.
Not nearly enough circuits for this to be a classic.
The original GRiD was HORRENDOUS with a wheel so this is good to hear.
Brrrootherr!
Look at all those Subarus in front of you :^)
Savage 😅
On the topic of games that arent serious me and my friends play project cars almost every night because of how easy it is to get the hang of and its easy to run and od course the vr support. I personally think uta thw best one to play with frienda
I hope we get a demo for this game. It looks awesome
That car actually sounds great
GRID is truly fun (I just got into it) - such great atmosphere and racing dynamic
That‘s a real racing game not like the others were it os about cars or simulation no here it‘s abour pure racing that‘s why i like grid
I disagree, all racing games are about racing. Codemasters just condensed the physics into a perfectly fun engine. For most to get into and enjoy.
I will probably get this game to go along with the other 2 Grid games I have, but not on its initial release. When STEAM does some sale pricing on the game, I will add it to my Racing collection then like I have done on many of my games. Seems like so many of the Grid tracks have been moved over into Assetto Corsa, so other than all the animations of Grid, I am driving the same tracks as this one shown in the video. Thanks for the Review Jimmy.
It is now 2024 and just adding one last thing. I really enjoy all the GRID series games. They are all fun to race the AI cars and find the games very entertaining. Most are just short races and start in the back of the pack to work our way to first place before race is completed.
I do use a Thrustmaster TMX wheel with all the GRID games. Also with VORPX I can somewhat use my VR headset - not true VR, but mainly in 3D - it is kind of a different look.
The GRID games take me away from the serious SIM racing games.
Anyway, take care.
I’m a bit both ways about using the wheel or game pad for Grid. Wheel is always more fun, but having a game I can plonk down and play without setting anything up is also nice. But that is probably more Forza Horizon than this.
GRID is a series that's always been fun and good on a wheel. This doesn't surprise me one bit but man do I want the game more.
GRID is an amazing platform for all gamepad, keyboard and wheel users.
3:16 So we're just going to ignore the bonkers 360-degree spin and recovery by the AI to stay ahead of Jimmer, then.
EDIT: Obviously Jimmer paid attention for his own spin at 7:39. Noice!
I didnt even notice that😅 good thing the other cars were there to act as a bumper
I already pre-ordered this game. My love for this series knows no bounds, even if I thought the second game was a step backwards and the third was a quick apology for the second one.
Well thats an accurate timeline of the old grid games
I like using a wheel with most racing games, even one's dubbed arcade. Reminds me of playing at the arcade as a kid and how badly I wished I had a wheel and shifter at home.
Some games are so far removed from the experience of actually driving, such as the Burnout games, that it doesn't really add to the experience and feels more natural with a pad. The original Grid felt pretty natural with a wheel but obviously certain characteristics of the cars are exaggerated and it's more forgiving (unlike the psychopathic AI).
I remember people slamming NFS Shift and saying how bad it was with a wheel and how it was like "driving (their words not mine) a boat". I actually really enjoyed that with a wheel, but I think most people overlooked something REALLY important though. I figured out that the steering ratios of the cars were setup for 360 degrees rotation by default. If you set your wheel to 360 degrees or adjusted the steering ratios to suit your rotation (you could lift values from sims or just do some basic maths) it felt pretty good. Still arcadey, but it felt natural.
Please post more WRC8 and Grid content! Even if it's only for the sake of variety (I'm personally genuinely interested in both games)
looks like fun Jiimmer!
Getting ready for some new GRID I've been dipping into some GRID Autosport back compatible on Xbox One. Its truly a hidden gem of a game with a wheel. If Codemasters picks up where Autosport left off then I'm going to love GRID 19.
the sounds are so good on the new grid.
Well that makes me want this game even more. its one of the things i like about say playing GT5 or even asseto corsa (with assists at least) is if i feel like it i can play both with a pad or a wheel which is great as i for what ever reason find driving with a wheel alot of the time alot more chill and realexing. like when driving a jag etype in FH4 with the classical radio channel on doing long races ah good times.
It appears to handle just like Grid Autosport, which is to say a hefty amount of rear slip angle.
Used to love the Grid games! Cheers Jimmy
I've been wondering this, great content jimmer
I also personally think it looks much better inside the cockpit than in chase cam with a controller
This really looks fun
Now that's podracing. 6:42
perfect balance between sim and fun!!!
Sounded great from here.
