Braking points, the distance to a car leading you, the apex of a turn and when to exit it, all of that is more difficult to take with precision when my Ferrari and my Renault alike jackrabbit through every gear change, and clamp down hard on with every brake. It still doesn’t change the fact that it’s hard to sustain smooth driving with the camera angle that most arcade racers will use. Sure, I can neutralize the camera’s exaggerations by taking a cockpit view, but that presents a different degree of difficulty when racing with a gamepad. It’s not the thing I wanted to write after six hours with a preview build, either. That’s probably not the thing race fans want to read about a title coming in two months. Grid Legends abuses that effect, which both adulterates the feeling of high speed and robs me of the satisfaction of handling it. The back and forth, whether shifting from second to third gear, or feathering the brakes in the mildest chicane, is a visual effect meant to impart a feeling of speed. Not in how Grid Legends’ vehicles handle, but in the third-person camera trailing them. Next year’s Grid Legends leans into arcade features for the second consecutive edition, carrying over a lot of what racing fans may have missed in a rebooted Grid hustled out the door at the end of 2019. You can expect cross-platform multiplayer across Xbox, PlayStation and PC with a new hop-in feature that allows easy access to racing no matter what you’re racing on.Codemasters’ touring-car Grid franchise has lurched back and forth between simulation and arcade gameplay emphasis practically since the series began in 2008. The game will offer wheel support for more intense racing as well. Couple this with eccentric racing environments, whether it be a city or a circuit, as these elements should be a big positive for returning fans of the series. The actual racing physics and how the game is played will be purely GRID, as the high speed and high intensity racing and controls will remain. Codemasters is aiming for GRID Legends to be the most varied game in the series. The Race Creator will allow you to host dream multi-class races with varying weather conditions and over a million different combinations that can include boost gates and ramps. You can expect the return of the Elimination and Drift races along with a Race Creator and more. The game will also offer 100+ hand picked cars ranging from muscle and GT cars to stadium trucks and more. GRID Legends will offer the career mode that it has in the past outside of ‘Driven to Glory.’ The actual core elements of the series will remain intact with over 250 events and 130 routes on new and returning locations. This is something that you can get entrenched in and this is also thanks in part to having actual actors/actresses and amazing production value. There will be people you like and people you dislike as the narrative looks to dig into each racer’s personality that are a part of the events of the GRID World Series. This will also give a better overall sense of your competitors and how the season evolves. The story looks to be character driven as interviews will be conducted with individual players in the narrative. You will race in many different events as the cutscenes transpire between each event. The story is shot with the same visual methods that were used to film The Mandalorian. ‘Driven to Glory’ offers a diverse cast of characters that is headlined by Ncuti Gatwa (Sex Eduction). Codemasters recently sent over a preview build that offered the opportunity to play the story. Unlike the story mode that was added to F1 2021, ‘Driven to Glory’ is filmed as a behind-the-scenes documentary that sees the Seneca Race Team lose a driver right before the GRID World Series starts as the story will take you through the season as you race in varying events with different cars. GRID Legends is looking to improve on this with the inclusion of a documentary-style storyline that features real actors and full-motion video. The career mode in that game, however, offered purely racing to unlock more leagues all while seeing these other racer’s name on the track and having no ties to truly building a rivalry with them. Codemasters brought back the GRID franchise in recent years as it continued to blend an excellent arcade racing experience with simulation aspects.
