Grid: AI-Powered Racing Experience

28 October 2019

Codemasters won many fans with its simulation of F1 2019 in the bewildering Dirty games. Grid sees them offer a refreshed version of Grid Autosport, the 2008 racer game and bring back arcade joys.

The TOCA racing game is a rethink of multiple features, game mechanics and doubling of elements to create a unique motorsport series. It takes rivalry to the next level, keeping players on their toes from the go.

You might love your car, but Grid considers how you interact with other drivers. Good relationships are vital in the racing tracks as you can form unrelenting foes elevating the game’s style and flair to a never thought of level.

Despite rivalry, Codemasters spiced the game to add teamwork capabilities. You can team with players, earn loyalty and get companions to boost your winning strategy in the racing track.

Throughout, it’s a testing driving escapade. True motor sport ideals got reawakened in the Grid streets with damage. Every aspect of racing involves evading opponents and staying focused to escape knocks, bumps, missing paints, and slamming doors.

Despite a consistent handling system in each car, every car-make offers a unique experience like in real racing. GT touring offers a different driving feel to a muscle car or stock.

Game Play

Grid is a game anyone can play for its multiple playing options. Arcade and simulation modes define the experience you will get in racing tracks. The game can get as tricky as you desire if you’re a hardcore player.

In the Grid sphere, you can up the difficulty options and switch off all assists for daunting racing experience. New players can also go for the friendlier simple mode.

AI mechanics provide unruly driver behavior causing collisions, spin-outs and flipping depending on your mistakes or opponents. Grid takes the focus away from steering to evasion of other aggressive drivers who can block pathways, hit you and ram your car.

The game takes perfection out of car racing, providing drivers who will make the occasional mistake and add to the game’s danger.

The nemesis state turns Grid into a turbulent experience. Beating rivals is inviting them for more races, as they return better and more equipped. Though they keep you alert, they make each level a tougher challenge.

Angered drivers get into nemesis state and brace new skills to wreak havoc in races or race you out. Despite the rivalry, you can turn players into super loyal team mates to help you win races.

More, Grid has a pack of 400 AI-powered teammates, nemesis, rivals, and competitors. The characters all come with different skill levels but add to the thrill of the races.
