Oliver Mackenzie has all of the details here on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S - along with the breakdown compared to Xbox One X, the cream of the crop from the last generation.

    The fact that they're still using the EGO engine (and have been doing so for the last 15 years) really shows how well optimized, built and scalable it is. Especially considering that the system requirements in the PC ports remained relatively modest.

    There's a lot of competition in the racing scene and Codemasters does have the F1 license so that's their perennial showpiece. They've also got a good mix of arcade and sim in the Dirt and Dirt Rally series. It's the street racing scene where you can get the most creative but obviously you're in the Forza Horizon, Gran Turismo category. Is it just me or has this game not been really promoted?

      I'd suggest just playing the 10 hr trial on EA play on Xbox though. 10 hours was plenty of time for me to enjoy it for free or it's plenty of time to see if it's something worth picking up in a sale seeing they have so many of those a year now :)

    Hey there. Grid Legends, got feel of speed and dynamic. It's brighter. Locations look more fun and not sad and boring like this in GT7. On Grid Legends locations look more beautiful and graphics is more cooler. Full of details, full of colors. Driving mechanics is fun. You can take it full arcade way of gameplay or more sim racing when you turn of driving helpers.
    It's cross platforms. It's have a story mode, that reminds me of Capitan Tsubasa :) Feel real but have great emotions in it. Every race is fun. AI drivers feel so real that I have a feeling that they are a real players. This is the very best racing game ever created, period. It's fun, and games need to be fun :)

    i didn't even try this game before because the last grid i played (autosport) didn't amuse me. but i was wrong. just tried it now on my series x and it is actually a super chill arcade racer that somehow feels cutting edge and nostalgic at the same time. felt like what a racing game for a dreamcast 4 would be like. i just wanted to see it, but i ended up playing for an hour. it's extremely polished, plays well (ngl the 120fps goes a long way to help that feel) and is just good old fun.

    Only just loses out to my favourite driver aid ever - the apex markers in GT7 - you don't even need braking zones or racing line, entry and exit point markers hit all the same bases

I've played through quite a bit of the game in the 120 FPS mode and enjoyed it, found the handling via my Fanatec CWB v2.5 very good, so I'll probably keep playing in that mode, but nice to know about the option.

    I’m truly not sure what to think of this game. I love the GRID series… i’ve actually played this game via the trail for many hours and love it, but can’t help think that this is simply a full price rehash of the prior game. With upgrades really only to trackside objects and maybe reflections. So I can’t support paying $60 for a very simple upgrade. I will probably pick it up when it’s $15, but even then I have an issue. Because it is essentially supporting paying full price for an upgrade that should’ve been free for the last game. No new tracks and even one less track exacerbates this very issue. They couldn’t even make one, five or 10 new tracks? Which screams that it was rushed to simply appease investors to have something to release to make the company some extra income.
    Again, I love the series. But, probably won’t buy into it again until we see more tracks, more cars and a true next GEN update to the engine. Which, they should be easily able to do real time raytracing via global illumination and shadows at 60fps on a closed course racer. I’d also like to see day/night cycles and varying weather throughout each race. Which other racers are doing.
    This is truly the closest thing we have to Project Gotham Racing. One of my favorite racers of all time. I just hope the developer takes a year off to update the engine and add more additional content… in tracks, cars and features.

    Sony should consider allowing players to save settings for performance and refresh rate settings on a per-game basis. While I agree that it'd be ideal for Codemasters to just put these settings in the game and simply have them work, I feel as though these system-level settings are mentioned often enough that there must be some issue with devs outright bypassing the system-level settings.

      I had the same reservations. Then I recently bought it in a Steam Sale. The story is nothing special.

It's no longer as if you're driving on ice all the time. The curbs have also been made less awkward.

    LOD breakup and pop in takes me out of the immersion in the PS5 version of Gran Turismo 7. It has gotten worse with the first patch post launch.

I haven't played Grid since 1 and 2 and absolutely had a blast in those games with the simply fun physics at the time. May find myself picking this up later in the year.
