The focus on a good story was in part of paying homage to what made the game great and also wanted to mimic the storytelling from trending racing docu-series like Formula 1: Drive to Survive. The first being the Story Mode called “Driven to Glory”, featuring award-winning actor, Ncuti Gatwa ( Netflix‘s Sex Education) and written by the same writer for Ghost of Tsushima, Brad Kane. The different game modes include three immersive experiences.
GRID Legends GRID Legends-What We Know So Far I loved that the setting was at night as it brought back old feelings of other racing games that predominantly emphasized the rebellious acts of drifting in the city at night-and there is also that good old influence from seeing a lot of nighttime drifting from The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. The Drift circuit was amazing as we were able to use the 2022 Mazda RX-7 FD-35, which was tuned specifically for drifting. The EV races almost sound more elegant and futuristic, like what a space car could be perceived to sound like. As someone who is not familiar or has not heard the sound of the engine from an all-electric sports car vehicle (EV), it was a really great change in sound from their gas-powered counterparts. In terms of new game modes, GRID fans can look forward to is the Electric Class races, which feature electric sports cars like the 2022 Lotus Evija. I personally enjoyed the cars like the 2022 Beltra Mk 3 and the 2022 Ginetta G40 GT5 for their handling and feel in this test build. Like most racing games, I can expect the developers to provide gamers some kind of scale in various categories from handling, braking and such, for the final launch. The locations include three new circuits (London, Italy’s Strada Alpina and Moscow) and three classic maps (Crescent Valley Raceway, Barcelona and Brands Hatch) that fans will be able to relish in nostalgia.įor someone who does not regularly play too many racing games (grew up on mostly Need for Speed), it was a lot of experimenting with the mechanics and learning to follow the racing pace and lines at first.

Also, the Nemesis system helps ground the realism of the game, so if players rough up other AI, the AI will respond with frustration as drivers in real life would typically do by driving more aggressively around the player. The preview presentation paid great attention to celebrating that they have increased the maximum number of players racing on one circuit from GRID (had up to 16 players) to 22 players on one track in GRID Legends. The build I was able to test out had twelve different events with different vehicles in different classes, offering a glimpse of what is to come in the final version of the game. GRID Legends GRID Legends-The Driving ImmersionĪfter giving the current build of the game a test run in all the available tracks, I was both in shock and awe at the various play styles and the amazing lineup of cars available (of course, I wanted more variety now, but we will all have to wait and see).
