I remember on weekends I would play the hell out of it with my brother. We would always watch the opening through its entirety and to this day it still gives me shivers as well.
One of the best game intro's I have ever seen. It just caprures everything this game was, pure excitement, great graphics, gameplay etc. Makes you wanna schred some rubber and kick others in the balls if they try to overtake you.
RyuChief yea, it was just the right recipe for fun. I used a LAN simulator to play this online with my brother and friends after the official servers were closed. what kind of setup do you like? controller or wheel? driver assists settings? i like no driver assists, in car view and prefer a wheel but controller is ok too.
Perfect in every single way, the sound track, the cinematic color, the camera movement, the car gameplay physics etc... safe to say, we will never see sich a great game from code master again.
Time flies so fast ... I was in highschool waiting to go home and play this. I remember drifting at the Yokohama docks with a Nissan Silvia trying to get over 100 mil score. The Aston Martin DBR9 was my fav car.
Easily the greatest game intro I have ever seen in 30 years of gaming. The footage is perfectly matched to the song. This song sadly is very hard to get a hold of (license issues) but wow what a song for a driving game. IF I was in charge of the project cars team I would have licensed this song and produced a majestic video, sigh, oh well what could have been.
@@ThreeDaysOfDan Its a game bro, realistic doesnt always mean graphics. This game provides a somehow real racing experience (within the arcade) and a super realistic environment and atmosphere, and thats what the man was saying bfore :D
This is the best track racing game to this day. It hold up graphically nicely, it has amazing physics, deformation, feeling, soundtrack, gamemodes... everything. Its amazing what the devs made all those years ago.
One of The games that skyrocketed my love for cars and racing. And also my childhood incarnate too. I still remember the first car I drove when I first got this game. A grey Chevrolet Camaro
The fact that this game is only just 4 years younger than me right at this time writing this comment It still kick the asses of nearly all offered racing game on the market should tell a thing about how beloved this game was and still now My first revisit just lovely Thanks Codemaster
Fun Fact: many of the developers from GRID 1 leaved Codemasters after they did DIRT2 and founded Playground Games. Their first game was Forza Horizon (you can feel some GRID vibes in the first Horizon game).
I just recently played Grid Autosport for a little while. After getting back to this game, I find myself attached to the first game more than 2 and Autosport
A racing game that was like no other. The controls and driving were a bit mehin terms of realism but the graphics were phenomenal for it's time and it tried to include so many different types racing competition which unheard of back then. Every racing game were only designed for competition back then but not Grid. And the replay system was by far the best feature in the game. I could spend hours watching car crashes in slow motion. There really was nothing like it back when it came out. I remember when my dad came home and bought me that game just for a surprise and it turned out to be my favorite racing game at the time.
It's called simcade. Simply it's a combination with arcadey handling with a little bit of realism in game mechanic (damaged system, crash physic, etc.). You've already know it's simcade instead of saying it lacks realism and calls it "meh" straight without thinking first.
Codemasters. MicroProse. Team17. Bullfrog. Westwood Studios. Bitmap Brothers. Gremlin Graphics and others. This music reminds me those days, that feeling that will probably never be back...
This game is 7 years old and it's still better than some racing games today
Yeah, forza is shit
No Doubt, Even the Graphics are still amazing
+MrCelroy forza isn't shit but i like grid
And nothing changed :D
True !!!
Who watches that back in 2020 because this is the best racing game intro ever made to this date ?
I think the Gran Turismo Sport intro with racing history is also one of the best
It's the first ever game I've ever played, it just has that special place in my heart
This intro is not as good as project Gotham racing 4 intro bruh
@@pp3k3jamail Still you are there watching it :P
Agreed. Along with gt3 intro. This has more style tho
2017 and this still gives me shivers. Absolutely fucking brilliant intro. The Queens of The Stone Age remix blows me away.

Same I remember playing this before school and as soon as I came in and intense shivers right now!

That game marked the beginning of the 7th Generation of Consoles
AttackerPictures that was '05 bud
Caeryn Fitzpatrick From 2005 to 2007 there wasn’t a single racing game at least that looked “next-Gen” up until the release of this title.
@@JackBandicootsBunker *cough PGR4 cough*
Nick Cheung That one doesn’t count. Looked like upscaled PGR3.
@@JackBandicootsBunker yeah you're right this one is more realistic than pgr4
This opening still gives me goosebumps, i miss my childhood
This has gotta be one of the hardest intros to a game ever.
too true!!
The music in the menu is really great too
Michaël Colignon there's different ones
@@lesbians.in.a.subway4258 I remember the one he is talking about, yeah sounds amazing
Nathan Body/Boddy - Vintage Warmer
After a decade, i am still asking myself why is this intro soo goood

Meh i would have resolved the realism first. For a game that's trying to be a racing simulator, there's so many problems with it...
@@thehuggingsimmy1765 It's called Simcade in the first place, what do you expect?
Masterpiece, finished yesterday
Never thought that Grid was that good back in the day
my yearly rewatch of peak
so fucking true
Still listening to this in 2023…
It's 2019 and i still love you grid
Better than 2019 version
yes
Brings a tear to my eye after I've watched the GRID 2019 trailer. The fun I've had in this game.
This always gave me goosebumps and still does
it does!
I can't hate this Game...
I LOVE GRID!
In addition to the insane realism, sponsor deals, buying used cars from ebay, having a solid teammate in races was so crazy really made this game goat
This intro gives me chills.. i remember playing this when i was 6-7 and now im 17. such a memory unlocked. great times 🙏
This game will always be the reason why no other game surprises me… standards were set very high after this gem of a game 🤟🏽

@@carguy3217 Indeed I do
Year im writing on 2018. Active player count on this game is still 20000. Why? Because Codemasters once created a diamond.
I'm one of those 20000

i love this game
i haven't found another track racing game as awesome and realistic as this, on pc.

@@ThreeDaysOfDan Its a game bro, realistic doesnt always mean graphics. This game provides a somehow real racing experience (within the arcade) and a super realistic environment and atmosphere, and thats what the man was saying bfore :D
Imo, this game has the best career mode Codemasters ever produced. How they continuously fail to see that to this day is a mystery to me.
60FPS on a 2008 video? *HOW*?
That's cause the video was already rendered to 60FPS but RUclips didn't allow it to back then.
There is some trailer of GTA IV in 1080p tho :D
11 years passed yet still this game is awesome
Maybe, just maybe... The greatest racing game ever made..!
what's the game called please is this grid 1 or grid 2 or what t is it called please
@@SusanLemon Race Driver: Grid, 2008
this game is 12 years old now and i still play it...
such a great game best invest ever
This is the best track racing game to this day. It hold up graphically nicely, it has amazing physics, deformation, feeling, soundtrack, gamemodes... everything. Its amazing what the devs made all those years ago.
0:33.
Your damn welcome, guys.
Still playing this amazing game to this day!
One of The games that skyrocketed my love for cars and racing. And also my childhood incarnate too. I still remember the first car I drove when I first got this game. A grey Chevrolet Camaro
probably the first ever 60fps video I had seen on youtube.
im 14 rn, used to play this when i was 6, feels so nostalgic
I have fcking tears in my eyes. So many memories with this game. And it's still one of the best racing games out there ❤
wow, the video is from 2008 in 60 fps, nice
Yeah don't get too excited, the game was only 30 FPS
Just Simon Not on PC it wasn't.
@Subhajeet Bhowmik and yet pc's don't have some games that consoles have, and they're amazing, i understand why tho.
To this day this game is still one of the greatest things ever to exist
I miss Grid 2008 so much
One of the best intros ever!!!
Agreed. Battlefield 1942 intro is outstanding too.
@@OptLab You Sir, are right!! :)
God this intro gives me goosebumps
There will *Never Ever* be another racing game like Race Driver: GRID
Rest in Peace.
720P 60Fps for 2008... THIS IS COOL
The greatest racing game ever made.
15 years ago...jesus.
Codemasters peaked with this and dirt 2.
a racing game with an unmatched vibe
omfg does this shit still slap after all these years
Even when I change my graphics settings on the PC over and over I usually don't skip this intro. Every single time, it's short but great.
For being a 13-year-old game this still looks amazing. The real-time body deformation is just icing on the cake.
This is one of those few intros that gives me chills every time I watch it. :)
This is the best racing game all time (I've played a lot of racing games, no one comes close to this one), absolutely fantastic game
seriously. please tell me there is another GRID On the market. Grid was the best racing game I ever played but there is no mutliplayer anymore!!
Multiplayer on this game was a pure Gem. So many fun on GT1 back in the days…
Thank you! I look for this now and then. Watching this as I'm starting the game, for the first time, made me beyond happy!
Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows (UNKLE remix)
Gaming Graphics is way ahead of it's time...i still play this game

This game single handedly got me into racing
The game is 15 years old and it's still better than most of the racing games today.
omg this intro, the music.....the memories.
Its sad that EA buyed codemasters 😢
One of the best games of my childhood
2019..and it's still one of the best intros!
yes
Wow I forget how good this intro is and the song is perfect
I never played the game, but was obsessed with replaying this intro over and over again from a gaming magazine dvd, PSM3.
Man, I love so much this Game!! Ones of my Favorites After of, FlatOut 2 & TOCA Race Driver 3.
one of the my favorite racing games ever!
0:46 the most beautiful fd3s i ever saw

Hello from 2019! This game still best game of Grid series.
I wish the real song had the extra sound effect when showing the title at the end, it sounds awesome, the real mix never has it =(
best intro game ever made... it was an incredible game! epic dodge viper ravenwest...
The best intro movie for all the times
This intro still hits hard asf
This game was ahead of his time
Racing Dark Souls. But let's be honest we love this
My childhood
Gorgeous-looking game with nice real-time damage to boot. Over 10 years old too!
Best intro game ever!!!
For my is the best game of racing
Soundrack in the Video: Queens of Stone Age - No One Knows (UNKLE remix) Full Version
Best opening ever
“DAMN these graphics are amazing, how will they ever get better than this?”
Probably the best racing game i ever played.
I love the fact that 90% of racing games have a song by QOTSA in the soundtrack 🤘 They just fucking rock
They even found their way into Midnight Club 💙
