HundredProofSam Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Grid: Autosport to get PC-only release in India Grid: Autosport will only release on PC in India, publisher Codemasters has confirmed. The game is also scheduled for release on PS3 and Xbox 360, and we assume distributor Reliance Home Video and Games has decided against releasing those versions in India. That doesn’t exactly leave console gamers in a launch though as PSN and Xbox Live come to the rescue. The game is currently available for preorder on PSN for Rs 2,499, which is probably lower than the retail version might have been. As a bonus, the PSN version is the game’s Black Edition, which includes bonus content like the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupé Black Series, Black Edition White Ravenwest liveries, 20 Black Edition online livery patterns, 10 new premium sponsors with objectives, and an exclusive PS3 theme. Grid: Autosport doesn’t appear to be available for preorder on Xbox Live, but it should be available post-release. We’ve reached out to Codemasters and Reliance for pricing details for the PC version, and we’ll update this story once we hear back. In the mean time, check out our Grid: Autosport hands-on preview.

GameAnalyzer Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 Codemasters says its more sim than Grid 1, but I don't think so. Seems pretty much the same as Grid 1 (which is better than Grid 2). I also love that there are so many disciplines (touring, endurance, street, tuner) but you can only play the ones you want. Thanks. Sam. Will try it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRINI87 Posted June 24, 2014 Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Grid Autosport on PC will have a huge, free high res texture DLC To put those textures in perspective: the full Grid Autosport install is about 11 GB. So before the textures were compressed they alone where three times the size of everything else in the game. Now they've been compressed you'll be able to get everything installed and running for just 16gb of your hard drive space.The high res texture pack will be a free DLC released via Steam on Grid Autosport's release day. Codemasters tell me that the development of Grid Autosport is PC-lead. “Everything's just a bit bigger and higher res detail on PC,” says Kettlewell. “Better shadows, higher res car reflections – that's something else we've put a lot of work into on Autosport, getting the car paint effect to look as authentic as we possibly can.” “We're locked to 30fps on console, we're clear on PC,” Moody adds. “60fps is really nice, it gives you a great experience. And, it can be played on a three displays. It has full peripheral support – wheels, controllers...”.“We've got it running on 4K in the next room,” says Adrian Lawton, Codemasters communications manager.“The thing about being PC-lead is that in the past we'd think 'Oh we can't do that on console' so we wouldn't do it,” says Kettlewell. “Whereas now the reaction now is 'Oh we can't do it on console but let's do it on PC.

Heaven Angel Posted June 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2014 Review scores: Gamespot - 6/10 THE GOOD Level of variety means you're never stuck for choice Finely customisable difficulty settings helps accessibility Split-screen multiplayer is a welcome feature AI is good at delivering excitement and drama THE BAD AI doesn't work equally well across all racing disciplines Must undertake uninteresting race types to complete career Handling model too forgiving Incgamers - 6/10 Friendlier F1 handling in a Grid 2 wrapper, Grid Autosport is a tour through the Codemasters back catalogue. Single player is hampered by predictable AI, but tuning options and improved cornering elevates the multiplayer above Grid 2's. Eurogamer - 7/10 Grid Autosport is a fine racing game, though it's never a thoroughbred one. It's the muscle car that was Grid 2 stripped out and retooled for the track, but too often you can see the solder-work at the seams. In 2008, Race Driver: Grid was a partial reinvention of the racing genre, equipped with a handful of fresh ideas. Six years on, Grid Autosport - while a definite return to form for Codemasters - is simply a rediscovery of it. IGN - 8.3/10 REAL RACING RETURNS: Grid Autosport promised proper motor racing and that’s exactly what it delivers. The spirit of TOCA is finally back. +Doorhandle-to-doorhandle racing +Well-executed handling +Great selection of tracks –No pitstops –Mixed visuals PC Gamer - 86/100 No flashy new features or buzzwords, just magnificent racing stemming from a refinement of Grid 1’s greatness. CVG - 9/10 One of the outgoing generation's best racers and the kind of game that makes you wish for a new-gen port +Aggressively competitive AI drivers +Huge variety of tracks (100 in total) and disciplines +The sense of speed - this game feels terrifyingly quick. -Limited to 30fps when playing on console.
