Gamers compete on Europe's greatest official race tracks in prestige Marques including Aston Martin, Koenigsegg and Pagani. Codemasters wants to make racing exciting again. The drama, the rivalries, the aggression and the crashes this is not a game about collecting cars or spending all of your time in the front-end tuning suspension settings or designing liveries.

Packed with the most powerful race cars - new and classic, circuit and drift - players compete to conquer the most prestigious official race tracks and championships then beyond to compete in challenging city-based competitions, and then on through to road events and urban street races. Wooow.(Also known as "Race Dirver: GRID") GRID takes players to dramatic and beautifully realized race locations over three continents to compete in a variety of racing events. Heck, the game GRID in my Steam library hasn't even been downloaded. I planned on having this game put in my GOG library if one day GOG were to put this game in it. The reason why I bought GRID during the Steam Winter Sale this year was due to the discount. :( (got that from one of the game's reviews)īut still, if GOG managed to get this game on its GOG Connect during these last 2 days, it would be greatly appreciated. This game is not that realistic for a racing game. If that's the right reason behind this game's removal, then it's quite expected that GRID would go first. There is even a thread dedicated to discussion about game removal. They could completely reject working with publishers unless they believe that game will make their cars look awesome and make people want to buy them. If car names, logos, and body designs are all trademarked then it cannot be used in any form outside those explicitly allowed by trademark law, which almost certainly excluded use in game.Īnd the licenses are generally very expensive and come with a mile long list of stipulations.Įven though publishers pay them, the companies see games as another advertisement for their cars. Is that enough to get your pulse pounding? Check out Race Driver: GRIDĪmrit9037: Yes, it may possible. There are also a number of fictional tracks, such as street courses in San Francisco,and Milan, and Mount Haruna.

Real road courses such as Le Mans are in the game, as well as street circuits such as such as the Detroit and Washington D.C. With open wheel racing, demolition derbies, GT racing, there's plenty of variety in gameplay. But that's not all: GRID also features an innovative "flashback" system, whereby you can rewind time a few crucial seconds to fix any sloppy driving or mistakes, avoid crashes, and generally gain the needed edge to win. With 43 cars and 3 different regions to compete in-the US, Europe, and Japan-there's plenty to captivate adrenaline junkies. In GRID, you're a driver with dreams of going big: you start out driving in others' cars for money, but soon enough you'll start your own team, picking the races you want to compete in, buying the cars and equipment that you need to get the advantage over the other drivers, and traveling the world to compete. Vrrrrooom! If you like fast cars, tight turns, and pulse-pounding races, then today's release is sure to please: Race Driver: GRID-known in the US simply as GRiD-screeches over the finish line!
