      GRID LEGENDS overall content and engine sound are still very solid almost 3 years after release.

    A true racing gem that deserves to be praised. I understand for many is all about GT7, Forza, Assetto Corsa, F1, iRacing etc,..but I've been having lots of fun with this one lately mainly because of its simplicity which reminds me of classic gaming. This game wont force you to purchase or unlock anything if you dont want to. It already offers plenty, handles well, and looks the part. If you have friends to race with and a sim rig it gets even better.

    The sense of speed in GRID Legends is an improvement too. When you're going fast, you'll feel it. I feel like GRID Legends just came at a bad time, nobody really gave it a chance. It's just very underrated.

      GRID LEGENDS, according to Luke Reilly, supposed to be delayed till June 2023 (or after Nijigasaki Season 3 NEXT SKY OVA), or 2024 September (after Nijigasaki Season 4 Trilogy Movies Part I) to further develop GRID LEGENDS. It also planned to have 360 cars on the roster.

    One of the best racing titles for a good many years. Outplays even GT7 with it’s minimalist menu book ridiculous mode of play. If the Grid Legends devs included customisation & paint/decal/wraps it would outclass NFS which gets a mention in this video. Great camera options, I play 90% from the in-car driving seat position. Highly realistic as to real world driving. 10 out of 10 for Grid Legends 😊
    Also, the drifting events in the original Race Driver Grid were superb, better than any racing game ever developed.
    Hopefully the next Grid title will be an improvement to what is already a great game.

    One of the best, most approachable racers (especially for a sim style racer) I’ve played in a while. The story does a great job having you invested somewhat to your opponents, building your own storylines through gameplay. Played this just to test out about a week ago and haven’t put it down.

    Not only did EA not market this game properly, but they also released it between Elden Ring and Gran Turismo 7, another behemoth racing game (on PlayStation though). When I heard that EA bought Codemasters, I became really concerned and have prepared myself for the death of this studio. For those unaware, EA purchases studios that make good/great games and start messing with their development to make them more money, resulting in poor quality games, less sales and ultimately shutdown of the studio.
    I think EA bought Codemasters because they have the F1 license and it's an annual money-maker like FIFA. But before the acquisition, I was mostly unbothered with F1 series because none of the Codemasters games had any kind of malicious designs like overdone microtransactions, pushing people to buy more and for more price, etc. The issues were mostly either subjective or just poor design, nothing that'll make you think that you were exploited playing their games. No matter how good their games are, Codemasters almost always have a solid handling that feels predictable and connects you well to your car. Since I follow NFS a lot, I know that EA doesn't give the studios enough resources to make a game that lives up to the expectations of the past titles, they're treated as lower priority studios and often get pulled to assist bigger studios on bigger projects like Battlefield, which is why NFS fans kinda hate that series now. I fear that Codemasters will suffer the same fate of neglect and unreasonable expectations.
    Lastly, I have to rant about the story mode... I don't understand why people keep saying this story is bad, cheesy, over-the-top, or cliche. You have no idea what any of those are. You're playing a sim-cade racing game where you bump an opponent out of your way and get no penalties. You do that IRL and you're gonna get banned, so you can't expect rEaLiSm from the story, it's written in a way that accommodates YOUR actions in the fictional world. All the characters feel like they belong in the story and have reasons to do what they're doing, and the best part is that none of them are annoying, like we see in most modern games. This game had one of the best stories among the racing games released recently.

    Grid legends is such an underrated game, i expected grid 2019 but nicer looking and instead i got the best racer i have ever played with tons of customisation, car and track variety. the ai is fun as hell and very challenging and the race creator is the best thing codemasters has put into one of their games. the game looks and sounds gorgeous too and its racing is both accessible to newcomers and hardened pros thanks to its great difficulty settings and tweakable ajustments to how the cars behave.
    its a shame it will probably get delisted in a few years because i really think this is the best racer codemasters has made, even compared to the original grid and the DiRT trilogy, its a spotless gem in there lineup.
    the game and DLC is a bit expensive though lol
    and in terms of ranking this with the rest of the seires i would say that this is the best one for me, then grid 2, then racedriver grid and then grid 2019 (i never played autosport lmao)

    I have 3 of these GRID games now - Grid Autosport, Grid 2, and now Grid Legends. If you now throw in Shift 2 and Project Cars 3 which I also have, gives me quite allot of variety of great Arcade racing.
    I also play these games in VR with the Quest 3 - most of them I use VORPX to give me the 3D viewing while racing. Project Cars 3 is the only one that does a good true VR viewing. I use a Thrustmaster TMX wheel controller for all the games and works very well.
    There were 2 other GRID games but for some reason wasn't aware of them or were not listed on STEAM when I first bought Grid Autosport..
    Besides all my great SIM racing games, these to me are also fun to jump in, select a track or event, and do the short races on. We shall see if the Saga continues and will there will be another GRID game in the future.
    Thanks for the video, take care.

      @@joethealternativegamer3935 Forza Horizon 5 does shower you with cars, as well as 4. On the other hand, the game has 500+ of them, so you'll still need to earn many of the best cars by playing.
      If that's a problem, I'd recommend 2 or 3, which are not as "gifty". 2 particularly has a more focused campaign too - 5 is a scattershot of ministories around different racing disciplines, and that may feel disjointed. The problem is that 2 and 3 are not on sale anymore. But I guess one can still find used copies around for a reasonable price.
      Forza Horizon is great, there's a reason why it has dominated the genre in terms of sales. Granted, it does so by catering a bit to what newer players like these days, but the basics are still great, its open worlds are amazing, and the games are always bursting at the seams with content. You can never go wrong with racing against a speeding train or a plane (no, seriously, they have THAT).

    Your comments on the marketing side of this make me so, so sad... because they're true.
    I didn't even catch the existence of NFS: Heat until a couple of months back, and that was in itself because I forgot about 2022's Unbound until I came across a video titled "NFS Unbound: close to greatness" or something to that effect.
    Granted, the series had a whole bunch of duds in the meantime (the 2015 reboot, Payback) that I had the chance to try and never really liked, so I tuned out of NFS. But I got Unbound now and I haven't been this happy with NFS since at least Hot Pursuit (the Criterion one).
    Same with Grid Legends. I had this game on PC since Prime Gaming gave it away, but never bothered to even install it. But when Unbound hooked me up on racing games once more, I started to (re-)install several of them to check them out. Legends was one of the best surprises I had in this journey. How a racing game this good could be overlooked? It's almost criminal.
    PS Plus users should not miss it this month. Myself, I am so happy with this game that I even bought a physical copy regardless. Getting two digital copies for "free" (through subscriptions) felt like cheating. Codemasters deserves money for this, it's just fair.

    I just bought a PS5 and I bought Grid Legends as one of my games. I seen it was $10 new. I'm playing it now and I love this game. I just wish there was music in the races but I'd rather there be 0 music than bad music.
    Remember NFS Heat? That whole soundtrack in that game was some Latin salsa dancing music during the races.. It was horrible. Great game though
    I haven't touched a Gran Turismo game since PS3. Those racing games became SUPER boring to me. Never got the hype. It's a massive game but all the cars sound the same. Mustang sounds like a Civic. The racing felt incredibly slow compared to games like NFS.. Going 100mph feels 3x faster in NFS than going 200mph in Gran Turismo. I don't understand how that racing game is so slow but is rated the best. It's more like a RPG racer than a racing game to me.
    NFS remains my favorite but I like this Grid Legends.
