Race Driver: GRID to Beat GT5 Prologue to the Finish?

At Play.com Live 2008, Codemasters made available a playable version of their upcoming racer, Race Driver: GRID. The title is expected to feature GTR racecars, American muscle cars, and Japanese drift machines. Codemasters wants to take it in a different direction than other racing games go.

“This is not a game about collecting cars or spending all of your time in the front-end tuning suspension settings or designing liveries. We want to make racing exciting again,” exclaims Ralph Fulton, Chief Game Designer.

The game sounds like it could possibly give Gran Turismo 5 (& Prologue) a run for it's money. The game will feature tracks in America, Europe, and Japan. The game will feature traffic on the streets with Japanese drifting as well. It is slated for a mid-2008 release.

Provocative news titles piss me off. I hate how games press and blogs are intentionally setting gamers, even on the same system against each other.

One's a sim racer, the other's more arcadey. Each offers a lot of unique features.

Bleh, what's the point.
