As many of you have pointed out, multiplayer is indeed coming in an update patch in online and local flavours; we've reached out to the publishers who confirmed it is currently in development, but is not available at launch. At the time of writing we were not aware of this until after publication, hence it's omission in the review itself.
Sorry I'm not savvy when it comes to this stuff, but does this mean that I'll be able to update this game in the future to enable multi game play? Thanks.
jakthebomb Sure, but it would also have been nice mentioning that a multiplayer patch is already in the works, so that people interested in that aspect might not just pass on this game for good but know that maybe in just a few weeks or months they could get what they want.
F1 world grand prix on N64 had a system where you had to double tap the digital throttle to floor it. And just hold it to accelerate gently. It worked really well.
Honestly I'm more into the open world street racing types of game. But because the switch desperately needed a good sim, I can make an exception for Grid.
NFS: Hot Pursuit remastered comes pretty close for me (and I'm a bit biased growing up witht he original) but yeah this game is awesome. I just picked it up and I'm surprised how well this game runs on switch. And coming from experience I thought this was just going to be another watered down port with 25fps or something lol
@@nintony2994how many frames does switch run at in docked mode for Grid? I’ve read the system only goes to 30frames. I’d love to hear Grid runs at smooth 60 on switch
I always used the the right analog to control throttle and braking on gram Turismo so this is perfect for me so I can use the triggers to shift like it should be
Looks awesome. I've been wishing for a full featured racing game for switch and here it is. May wait for black friday though, 35 for a 5 year old game is a bit much. So excited it has gamecube controller support, however I never played gamecube racing games with shoulder buttons.
You forgot to mention that this game was also released on PC originally. I hate PC gaming too but it is technically the best version of the game. Looks great at ultra settings at 4k60 fps and even a modest PC can run it. Plus it has wheel support so yea... (360 and PS3 do as well, but iphone (obviously) and Switch do not, as confirmed by Feral on twitter... after I asked them lol)
Unfortunately, this game does not support the Hori racing wheel & pedals. You can use them as a controller, but you'll have between 40 - 60 degrees of dead zone on center which is about the same as a 1985 propane ford work truck.
I am waiting for the New GRID for the PS4. Biut, this game was very good back in 2014, and still holds itself today. Very recommended for gearheads tam own a Switch.
Lack of multiplayer might be a real disadvantage for you, but for me personally it's totally fine. I don't get why nowadays everyone suddenly wants to play online. People are idiots on average so I prefer to compete against the AI.
WolfeGaming I have it already on the PS3 and I had to say although it is a port it looks MUCH better than the PS3 version, they have definitely put the effort in, the switch really really needs these kind of racers and this feels like the first real racing game
Rise: Race the future is a great game on the switch and goes on sale for a whopping 10 bucks... Give you the option of higher quality graphics at 30fps or lower quality graphics at 60fps which I absolutely prefer. The lower quality graphics still look perfectly acceptable for a switch game and the frame rate is extremely smooth. The game also has a water aspect where your car turns into a DeLorean during parts of the map. It is a great game for 10 dollars if you don't want to drop 30 dollars on GRID racing which personally ill just stick to using on the phone. The Gear Club Unlimited games are okay but the first one just runs at to low a frame rate to really be enjoyable though the games do look decent. Gear Unlimited 2 runs at a low frame rate too but I think it runs at a more stable frame rate and stays closer to 30 the entire time. Regardless my favorite so far is Rise: Race the future and Manticore Galaxy on Fire is also a great game if you prefer starships stunning graphics for the switch and high frame rates all for 4 bucks.
I wonder if the initial omission of multiplayer has anything to do with the mobile version. Maybe this is a port of the android game and then they had to develop multiplayer exclusively for the Switch version.
Wow Nintendo fans are odd,reviews are for what is there not what is coming after launch. Sure they could have mentioned it but it wasn't there day one.
I need a racing game with realistic physics with the option to change weather status and have road conditions affected. This would give a racing game have a real world benefit while still being fun, probably more fun.
Like the sim aspect of this game coupled with realistic visuals. How did you play GRID on this video? Wheel? Other? Gameplay looks rather smooth. Something I can't say playing GRID on the Switch connected to a Logitech G29 via Reasnow S1. Not sure this is a setting or an issue with the G29 itself but it's a bit frustrating
This game is incredible on the switch, first time I've been addicted to a racing game in year's. Looks great, feels great with authentic feeling gameplay.
@@grogangreen no i only have the stock joy-cons and a pro controller but i was playing in handheld. At first it can be a bit difficult getting used to digital breaking because it's all breaks at once but the game works really well with it. Personally i changed all my control layout and now i accelerate and break with the right analogue stick, because i drive with Manuel this also took a little bit to get used to but it's far more beneficial having that precision. Don't let the digital buttons put you off, this game is the best port i have played on the switch.
@@newrockerofficial294 thanks for the reply. ..I've played Forza for yearsl and the lack of control puts me off along with no multilayer or leader boards....but they say they are coming and I will hold off till online is added....I could live without online hoppers as i prefer track time leaderboards racing others ghosts.... ( are they adding this ? ). From what I've seen it looks good. Thanks again, glad you're enjoying the game.
@@grogangreen no worries and yeah multiplayer is definitely coming and I'd say ghost's, time's, leaderboards etc should be to buy not 100% The good thing is it's already cheap at launch so chances are you might even get it cheaper on sale down the line.
I don't care for these types of games, so I was showing up expecting this to be a crappy port or something. I still don't care for this game, but I seriously wished more devs would do the Quality/Performance options. Oh well...
Nice review and I used to play Toca Race Driver on PC, yep I’m old. I’ll pick this up if it comes out on a physical edition. Now it’s just a matter of time before a Dirt game makes an appearance on the Switch. 🤞🏻
my only complaint is the joy con analog stick really hurts my thumb. otherwise it is really solid for a mobile game. think about it as a more polished and physically accurate real racing 3 with less car choices but no paywall or stupid grind. imo a much more reasonable purchase than shit like astral chain, which i can barely stand playing now. i dont care if this game is old, it works well on switch and i can pick it up and play a bit and drop it when i need to do something else.
They included Gamecube controller support, as well as the option to control the throttle with the right stick. But yeah, if you want to use the triggers there's no analogue input.
Basically use only directional pad and accelerator and brake and even so the game is challenging and graphically beautiful even though the restart is fast. Better than Gran Turismo e Forza Motorsport. Online must be very serious.
I'm hoping it's just delayed so they can get multiplayer in there and patch the game first; but I'm totally with you there. I always prefer to buy Switch versions of games, but I'll end up getting it for the other consoles if they don't release it physically for Switch
I wish EA would just put the Burnout Paradise Remaster on Switch along with Criterion’s NFS Hot Pursuit/NFS Most Wanted. Then I’d have all the racing I need on Switch.
WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU? how could you NOT have seen the Q&A panel on twitter with the devs yesterday where they CLEARLY said that local and online multiplayer is coming in a update!? YOU'RE a professional reviewer?????????

Thanks.
Terrible review. Should be called Divebomb Bumpercars.
these guys didn’t do their research.. multiplayer is coming, both split screen and online.
That's fantastic news. I loved this on PS3. I may re-purchase it now.
They are reviewing what is there at launch. I think Nintendo Life was correct in mentioning what is missing in its current form.
Thanks for the heads up. This is the one game that I wanted to have multiplayer.
jakthebomb Sure, but it would also have been nice mentioning that a multiplayer patch is already in the works, so that people interested in that aspect might not just pass on this game for good but know that maybe in just a few weeks or months they could get what they want.
Does the split screen have the full field of cars?
Are people really complaining about a reviewer reviewing what’s available at launch?! Holy shit... 🤦🏾♂️
Hello Driveclub
5:20 if you’re like me and you just want to know how the game performs
Thank you man. They should put the FPS right next to the name of the game.
Multiplayer is confirmed to be coming in a free update
I do not need multiplayer!
Arkadiusz Jan Dylewski I don’t either it’s just so people know when they are buying the game
Arkadiusz Jan Dylewski but other people might need multiplayer?

Are you sure? Any link?

This is as good as it gets.
I definitely want more in this kind, with such a great execution.
Online/splitscreen is coming according to the devs

What's wrong with pc gaming?
Thank you for showing this game in performance mode. This look dope. Good job Codemasters, again. I'm getting this.
An 8/10 when he thinks there isn't going to be multiplayer. So does that mean it's actually 9/10? 10/10 if it had weather and customization?
He did not even now how to say the name and that it was released on pc back in the days. This review is butt paper
Online Will be added confirmed by developer
This review needs to be fixed and updated
U guys alrdy know by now, by looking at the comments but serious.. what a blunder:P
Unfortunately, this game does not support the Hori racing wheel & pedals. You can use them as a controller, but you'll have between 40 - 60 degrees of dead zone on center which is about the same as a 1985 propane ford work truck.
They literally put this game on everything from PC to home consoles to mobiles. And they all look great!
is there any physical edition of this game planned?
They should include support for the 8bitdo SN30 pro plus with its analog triggers.
"We are not Digital Foundry now are we?" lmao
I am waiting for the New GRID for the PS4.
Biut, this game was very good back in 2014, and still holds itself today. Very recommended for gearheads tam own a Switch.
Tx to the developper , just bought the game and is awesome.
This game is great but i still hope we get a good realistic racer that lets you collect cars and upgrade them.

"It's single player only", GOOD!!!
usernamefromhell good because I prefer the single player games as opposed to on line games👍
Thats what I want in a game !! 😁👊
Gee... I wonder if multiplayer is going to be added in a later update...
Is there a cockpit view?
Wow Nintendo fans are odd,reviews are for what is there not what is coming after launch. Sure they could have mentioned it but it wasn't there day one.
How easy is it to deal with Switch’s digital triggers when cornering? There’s no way I’m buying a GameCube controller just for one game.
*gasp* Braking? In an formula car? On the Nurburgring?! WELL I HAVE NEVER....
I need a racing game with realistic physics with the option to change weather status and have road conditions affected. This would give a racing game have a real world benefit while still being fun, probably more fun.
Is the game playable offline?
Single player only is the BEST way to go. Online gaming has fallen apart, unless you play games like Smite.
I was waiting to hear where the exits were and what was available on the in flight bistro menu. Good review tho!

Whens dirt rally going to the eshop?
Finally we get the one of the best racing games on tge Switch... That's what i want from the time i didn't have Nintendo...
Personally find the shadows and every shaded part of the graphics just too dark - reminds you this game is from another era.
You forgot the part where you can't adjust the intensity of acceleration with the Switch controls...
Oh you didn't. Nevermind.

You edited this?? So why does it make no sense? You do speak English?
hey,is the High Res Car Textures only useful for the tv mode?
about fucking time. racing is a absurdly neglected genre on the switch.
Could some tell me where the options are to turn on and off assists etc. I can’t find it?
The reason autosport was completely glossed over by most was the cut corners... no cabin view alone ruined the hype
Is there a freemode? I have this(the car game) but I don't know if freeroam is a achievement.
Played this a lot on my PC. My favourite parts were taking screenshots of my cars drifting with lots of tyre smoke!
Hopefully one of these months we get that online update we were promised

Most important: No splitscreen.

Playable on switch lite?
Super sonic racing opening?
I'm also not good at these, but I wish I was and it's fun to try my best.
i already own few racing games on switch and i’m getting this when the price drop
Seen any price drop?
Singeplayer only is perfect i rarely play online in Racing i love career
Jonas Mohr Vestergaard does this game have auto accelerate and brake feature? Thinking of it for my son.
Auto accelerate yes it Can be turned on in settings and auto brake is automatically enabled on lowest difficulty
Jonas Mohr Vestergaard thanks for that info! Really appreciate it!!
I liked this video just based on the Digital Foundry comment :)
It’s been updated to online racing
Definitely pick it up on sale and get a wii u controller with adapter.
Definitely will be on sale next half of 2020
No japanese cars??? Not getting it.
There are Japanese cars in the video and more in the game
Does anyone know if drifting is coming back
The drift trials are still in Tuner categories.
bradleremond cooo thank u
Only reason it’s not worth it for me is because I already played the entire Grid series to death so I’ve moved on.
Best racing game on switch 💯🎮
This is worth picking up. It will make for a good warm-up for nfs heat
Is it coming out for the switch?
How tf do i turn off auto brakeing. For the life of me i cant find it
Just turn the difficulty up
I will try on my nintendo switch 👍🥇🥂
Ummmmm Mario kart is always recommended
Agreed but kart racing games are different genres.
