They should've called it True Grid

Will it have a single player offline campaign like the original RDG? If so I'll preorder right now!
Looking forward to it.
Just wanted to point out that, while the first game in the series is usually referred to as Grid, the official name is Race Driver: Grid, so this new GRID title does not share the same name. But it's definitely bound to cause some confusion.

End of trailer already advertise season 1-3 in a more expensive edition.
The original GRID is still installed on my PC I still play it time to time to me it has the best singleplayer career mode in any racing game of that kind. GRID 2 was so disappointing in that regard, whether this is a remake or reboot I'm super excited. Bring back to proper career mode and detailed damage model and it will be a dream come true for me.
Driveclub wasn't arcade enough then. Go full on Fast and Furious with the next one
I spent plenty of time with the original GRID, for some reason I ignored the others despite having 'em around in my backlog. If this game goes back to those roots, that's fine: the original was a very tight "in your face" style racer, where you truly felt the speed, the pressure, the adrenaline, something that few racers manage to give. Its dramatic approach made games like Forza or Gran Turismo feel like a sunday afternoon ride on mountain roads with the family. The development time seems pretty low all things considered, though we don't know which sub-team is working on it, so I'm not keeping my hopes up for a masterpiece. It could be neat, though, if they go back to what made GRID great. But the name sucks, the previous GRID wasn't that long ago to warrant a no subtitle reboot of sorts imho.
It's definitely somewhere up there. If Burnout paradise wasn't Open World it may have dethroned it.
I feel like the first grid never got enough appreciation. Was a damn good racer. I'm interested.
Honestly, it feels like a real long time for me--but then, a whole bunch of my life kinda happened between then and now! Like, when I first played GRID, I'd never driven a car in real life; now I own one!
Anyways, I'm definitely up for a new career-driven racing game, if that's what this is gonna be. They're really simple, but I enjoy those basic, 'Start out as a rookie driver with a street car, then build from there' stories that old Codemasters racing games used to be structured around.
I <3 codemasters, I really do.
But after Dirt 2, Dirt 3, Grid and Grid 2 and hell even grid autosport, I'm not sure if newer graphics can bring me in.

The first one was incredible for so many reasons and none of the others felt anywhere near as good. Grid 2 & autosport felt a little soulless to me.
First one had the most satisfying progression for me since the PS1 gran turismo games. If they nail the feel of the first but give it a proper next gen update, i'm in on day 5ish after reading reviews.

Grid Autosport is on sale on th Xbox and its back compat. Great game!
Also, a port should be coming out for the switch, which will make it the default best racing game on Nintendo's system.
I'm not a huge fan of Grid per se, Autosport is much more my jam, but Grid 2 was pretty good as an arcade racer. Hopefully the new one goes all the way arcadey or simmy, and not some weird middle of the road mix.

I did to. Then I played it when it came to Gamepass and it was a revelation. Great game.
Grid 1 is still one of my favourite racing games ever. I didn't like 2 or Autosport as much.
I have high hopes for this.

Grid: Racing
I mean, it's a reboot of a series that doesn't need rebooting because it doesn't have a story canon.
But hey.
I'm in if they get the handling closer to a mix of Autosport and Dirt Rally.
The game didn't have "terrible graphics", nor "terrible gameplay". Reviews were pretty good: the game was a different way of doing car games, one with high levels of adrenaline and little focus on actual speed. It didn't take a genius, however, to see the game was going to flop hard regardless of reviews. I consider myself a fan of the game, and this is what I said long before we got any sales data:
GRID could risk the same thing, actually: game announced with a CGI trailer only a couple months before release. Full-priced game for what is (presumably?) a low development time game which could potentially mean little content. With little marketing presence, a confusing naming and such, it definitely risks not doing too well, especially in September. OnRush's failure had little to do with its quality to be fair.
Yeah, I think it's unnecessary in this case. The original GRID emphasized its damage model, and I think the trailers for the original did an excellent job without doing things in reverse.
Get out, Mr "I don't know what the TOCA Race Driver games were".
Codemasters do proper racing better than the Arcady bollocks that was GRID 2.
You too.
Wanting a return to the worst of Codemasters racing history, heathens.
Lmao I didn't notice the "liked grid 2" part. I liked grid, found 2 disappointing, refunded autosport.
And I started with TOCA 3
You're right, I don't know what the those games were.
And I don't care.
lol
Man, all TOCA and Race Driver games were arcadey as fuck. they were gamepad games.
Codemasters has always made simcades, their first proper sim was Dirt rally.
I started with TOCA Touring Cars.
So I'm a little defensive!
Honestly though, how could you like 2, yuck!
Eh not really.
The wheel support for the Race Driver games was pretty great for the time. Yes it isn't an rFactor but what else is?
Oh you're definitely on The List now.
Next people will tell me they don't know where the TOCA series started and I'll just walk off in a huff moaning about the youth of today.
Alarming how many people just came in to crap on this announcement or say things that show the really don't care about this. GRID 2 is the best of the series? Really?
Also GRID Autosport was good but a very barebones presentation. A new GRID should be amazing for those that like the Codemaster driving engines.

This is one of those older PC games that I could never get working on a modern PC, like Crysis. So lucky dude.
