The damage model in Grid 2 is way better than shown in the video!

*0:53* Is something wrong with the car? LOL

GRID Autosport looks and sounds best even now. It's only needed car interiors ;)

GRID 2008 still the best in terms of handling and thats the most important in any racing game

[PhoeniXBG]

My personal favorite would be Grid 2. Although Grid is in my opinion the best combination of fun arcade-y driving with certain sim elements and rules. Great franchise!

The Audi in GRID 2019 isn't the R8 LMS. It's like a Time Attack Audi, so it would look and sound different.

I prefer Grid 2 bcus of split-screen with bots, arcade physics, good cars and idk what else for PS3

I'm not sure with this whole negative bias against the GRID 2019 tho.. like all these comments here (and also on the other videos) are anything but properly stated argument particularly regarding the visual details of the game.

Visually, it's pretty obvious that GRID 2019 has it improved quite significant than the previous series e.g. physical based rendering (PBR) system, material correct shader, higher polycount and updated texture models and resolutions on most objects and surfaces (yeah, it may not be as impressive as Forza Horizon 4's higher quality photogrammetry assets models and textures, but still it's all an obvious upgrade over previous series), entirely new car models built for the game's PBR system, new pre-computed lighting model based on a more realistic real-time lighting model which emulate realistic GI elements e.g. volumetric lighting, indirect lighting, and light bounce, more realistic nightime lighting, and visualized rain weather include emulated rain droplets on windshield.

But then it's not without any flaw at all: Overexposure, unnatural contrast, bloom and colorgrade (all those flaws in particular are greatly ruining the presentation of visual and also distracting to the gameplay experience), bad tree models, unnatural and too reflective reflection and tonemapping on car (which often obscures the appearance of car's self shadow on any occasion), fake cubemap reflection on wet tarmacs and rain puddles, and apparently worse damage models.

GRID Autosport is the best, the downside is the first person view.

Something felt off with GRID 2019 with me compared to the previous entires and I think it's how coloring and lighting.


Race Driver GRID, had a rough, down and dirty aesthetic with how they did the colors and in that they made the game feel very atmospheric, like this is racing in it's roughest most serious form and that was one of the ways that made the first GRID so memorable and even iconic.


GRID 2 emphasizes the glitz and glamor of motorsport, as such the colors feel much more vibrant and the lighting feels more dynamic especially during the night races where your blasting through cities like Chicago and Paris. The colors and lighting feel exciting and alive making each race feel like this big event that everyone's tuning into which was helped by the amount of track detail that goes on in the background such as the fireworks and such.


GRID Autosport feels like a little of both. The colors are still vibrant but the lighting feels more neutral and not as over the top as GRID 2 and it was meant to capture a more general motorsport aesthetic but still feels colorful and vibrant as GRID 2 but adds a little bit of that rough tone from the first GRID.


GRID 2019 the colors feel way too washed out with high exposure and contrast. It feels rushed and the color and lighting feels like it's trying to capture that feeling of the first three games all rolled into one, but honestly dropped the ball with it and oftentimes It just doesn't know what tone it wants take. Some tracks with certain tones do look good, but still have that high exposure and washed out and the night tracks should have the lighting feel more dynamic and atmospheric.


It's just something that I can't put my finger on about GRID 2019's graphics compared to 1, 2, and Autosport. It feels rushed and not put more time in getting the colors and lighting to create an atmosphere and an identity that would make it all on it's own.

All Grid games are tough and has heavy detail of environment and cars.

[Golsaw]

thx for creating this vid. helped me a lot

[uzerou]

There is a small mod that allows you to race in cockpit mode for Grid 2.

[geoffroimarcil]

Grid 2 much better and custom your car color pattern wheels

[DingoXBX]

Grid 2 has the best car sounds for sure

[burakbula]

I think Grid 2 is the best Grid game ever. I still play on Xbox 360 console. Beside it looks like a new generation game.

[andrzejmakiela]

Grid Autosport all the way… with car physics and all, really nicely done back then. Even now it makes a lot of fun on T300RS setup. In many cases the car handles way better than for example GT6 so a game from similar era …😊

[wouldbemusic]

Good video but I want to say there *is* a 1st person view for Grid 2; it's a community mod that Codemasters liked as I heard. It gives you 1st person cockpit view at the cost of harder AI drivers.

[salmanaamir]

Grid 2's cars' handling is much better and easier than autosport and 2019

GRID 2019 is 5 years newer but looks even worse than old GRIDs. Ridiculous. I was so excited when they announced new game in series but now I'm very disappointed
