It's called GRID: Autosport (I wonder if it's associated with the magazine of the same name?) and will include Touring, Endurance, Open Wheel, Tuning and Street disciplines.

Btw. here is a new trailer i found: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N4a4-PtJVk
all that sliding and drifting doesn't look too promising in my opinion...

The seasons do get a helluva lot longer as the game goes on and you get some good cars in season 4. I'm on about BAC monos, Caterham SP300-R's and some bloody fast V8 super touring cars. Other great cars include the Nismo Z tune Skyline which I use a lot for season 3 and the 4C you mentioned comes in very handy at the end of season 2. There are also a pair of sweet S2000 touring cars you unlock in series 3. Not forgetting the GT3 cars you unlock later in season 5. To get to the start of season 5, I had to do 109 races so the seasons do get a lot longer as the game goes on. Also, the texturing starts to get a bit crappy as the game goes on as well.

roblomas52 wrote:That is a real let down in my mind, especially when one ponders how long they had to develop the game and the "True Feel" handling system is a load of crap to me as the cars which supposed to be balenced (… McLaren F1) do feel like drift cars only with watered down physics. Heck, even the grip cars tend to drift unless you are going at rather silly speeds to get the downforce working. They even screwed up the acceleration and speed on the cars as well. A great example of this is the Nismo Z-Tune R34. In real life, in would get from 0-60 in 3.5 seconds. In the game, it's more like 2.7 seconds. I even beat Jason Plato's BTCC pole position time in the Chevy Cruze on Brands Hatch Indy by 8 seconds (48 seconds plays 40 seconds). It just shows how unrealistic it is in terms of the important stuff.

Here are my suggestions for what they should release intermittently:

1. Life L190, with combustible engine
2. G-Wiz
3. Table that beat a G-Wiz in a race
4. Dacia Sandero, with James May delivering a message of good news when it becomes available
5. Sinclair C5

Yes and it is so worth the money.

A “team of programmers from Sony Computer Entertainment Europe” are reportedly on the Isle of Man, studying the famous TT Race circuit which stretches over 37.73 miles across public roads on the island.

The report comes from Bike Sports News magazine, who claims a source from the Isle of Man’s tourism department informed them that Sony are considering the track for inclusion in Gran Turismo 7 on the PlayStation 4.

Tomb Raider is not a JRPG. Neither is Sleeping Dogs. Or Deus Ex, Hitman, or Thief.

Most of those were by eidos, so I don't count them. Except sleeping dogs, which is a great start but not enough.

How about you come up with an actual argument as to why Square Enix should suddenly stop making games in a genre which their company is very well known for?
