  1. GRID was announced on 21 May 2019 as a reboot of the GRID series. On 7 July 2019 it was announced that GRID would be delayed by several weeks, its release date being moved to 11 October 2019 to allow more time to build up exposure for the game. References edit ^ Robinson, Martin (21 May 2019).
  2. Codemasters will whip the dust sheet off their Grid racing series in September with a new game named simply Grid (technically, 2008’s series-starting game known commonly as Grid was Race Driver: Grid). It’s been five years since, Grid: Autosport, the last game in their multidisciplinary racing.
  3. About time, as much as i love the dirt franchise a new grid game is long overdue. I just hope it isn't hastily throw together.

Gameplay[edit]

GRID features several different types of motorsports spanning three major regions.

Grid was developed and published by Codemasters, the creators of the TOCA series. It is a game in which the player runs their own race team, acting as the primary driver. As players progress they gain sponsors and can hire a teammate to drive alongside them in certain events.

The game begins with the player accepting jobs to drive for other teams to earn money, and once the player gains enough capital they can purchase their own vehicles and drive independently, as well as continuing to drive for other teams should they choose to. Grid features a gameplay mechanic known as Flashback which allows the player to rewind gameplay by up to ten seconds and resume from their chosen point. This is a limited-use feature, determined by the difficulty setting.

Grid Autosport

Grid features several modes of competition using various cars. Three main regions are found in the game, United States, Europe, and Japan, each with their own championship. Each of the game's 43 cars are tied to one of these three regions. Grid also features several types of events to compete in, including GT championships, drifting, touge, open wheel racing, and demolition derby, as well as variants on several of these motorsports. Players can also participate in the 24 Hours of Le Mans at the end of each racing season.

Courses in the game are a mixture of real world and fictional circuits and point-to-point tracks. Real road courses such as Le Mans and Spa Francorchamps are included, while some defunct street circuits such as the Detroit street circuit in Michigan and the Washington D.C. street circuit are also included. There are also several fictional tracks inspired by real-world locations and circuits, such as street courses in San Francisco, California and Milan, Italy as well as Mount Haruna.

The Nintendo DS version is a racing simulator consisting of 20 available circuits across Europe, Japan and the US, along with 25 cars to choose from. The game also includes an updated version of the track designer from Race Driver: Create and Race, which allows players to create their own custom circuits and roadside billboards.[9] The game also features vehicle customization and online multiplayer.[10]

Development and marketing[edit]

Grid uses Codemasters' own Ego engine, an updated version of the Neon engine already being used in their previous release Colin McRae: Dirt. The damage code has been completely rewritten to allow for environments with the potential for persistent damage.[11]Ambisonics was used in the audio engine of the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.[12]

On 8 May 2008, a demo was released on the PlayStation Store and Xbox Live Marketplace. The following day, a PC version of the demo was released.[13] The demo allows players to try two game modes: racing and drifting. The demo also features a competition challenge, with a BMW 3 series, as a prize, for European-based gamers,[14] and a Ford Mustang for U.S.-based players.[15] The American competition ended at midnight on 25 May 2008, whereas the European competition ended on 31 May 2008, also at midnight. The demo also has two competition tracks available online, and allows up to 12 players to compete online. The demo has been downloaded by over one million people over three platforms.[16][17]

In 2010, an arcade version of the game was published by Sega. Grid has had its official servers for the PC and PS3 shut down as of 19 June 2011.[18] The servers for the 360 version are still running as of July 2014.[citation needed]

Downloadable content[edit]

On 19 September 2008 Codemasters announced that they would be releasing three DLC (Downloadable Content) packs, the first of the three was released on 4 December 2008, the 8-Ball Pack was released on the Xbox Live Marketplace and the PlayStation Network. The pack contains eight new cars, these include the McLaren F1 GTR, TVR Cerbera Speed 12, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, Honda S2000, Nissan GT-R (S-G2008), VW Nardo, Pontiac Firebird and the Volvo C30. The 8-Ball Pack also comes complete with two new multiplayer events set on existing circuits from across Grid's three continents. On 4 March 2010 the second DLC pack dubbed the Prestige Pack was released (for the PS3 only). The pack adds Mount Panorama Circuit and ten cars, including the Ferrari F430 GTC, Bugatti Veyron and Ferrari F575 GTC.

The review heaped praise on the game's robust car and course customization features, superb graphics, and multiplayer modes.[10] N-Europe gave the game an 8 out of 10.[49]IGN awarded GRID with its DS: Best Racing Game 2008 award.[50]
