The GRID Website has the
brief announcement that the next installment in Codemasters' Race Driver
series is gold (thanks
Gamer's Hell). The page points out
this
forum post that clarifies this is for Xbox 360 and PS3, though a later post
announces: "We got Games For Windows approval yesterday and went gold today."

Just wondering but does anyone on this site have anything positive to say about any game these days? You must be new to the inter-web thingie. Welcome aboard. 
Takes some getting used to with the handling, but spinning out? Heh i had trouble spinning the car with all the aids turned off. You apparently don't understand what a canned spin means.
If you try and drive these cars like a real race car, you will spin because real cars don't act that way. From what I've seen in this game, a lot of the behaviour of the cars have been pre-programmed to act a certain way, instead of letting a good physics engine handle the math. Try rFactor or LFS for decent sims to understand the difference. I've driven real cars on real tracks for 15 years, and GRID is a fine fantasy and nothing more.
If you're used to playing console racing games, you'll do just fine. I'm sure codemasters will sell a lot of this garbage. Have fun with it.

I think the drift stuff is optional in this game.

Just wondering but does anyone on this site have anything positive to say about any game these days? I think this is actually a pretty decent game. Takes some getting used to with the handling, but spinning out? Heh i had trouble spinning the car with all the aids turned off. Not only that but the (eventual) choice of cars is welcome, as well as the damage and the range of races. Are there any off-road races?
I guess it's a question of skill and what your playing it on. I used to hate console ports, but jesus there's just so few decent games coming out only for the PC that i've basically moved to console gaming now. Only games i play on the PC are games like EU:Rome/EU:3 and RPG games.

If you've played the demo
I downloaded and played the demo; the game did not save my custom control settings for my gamepad. Sigh.

After trying, and deleting, the PS3 demo, this will never touch my PC.
The cars are like bricks with hockey pucks for wheels. I don't think that I've ever seen so many canned spins in any racing game. I think the original 1982 Pole Position had more realism. Even for an arcade game this is horrible.

If I wanted to drift I'd get a drifting game. Please do not force me to do figure skating in a racing game.

If you've played the demo, you'll realise this will likely be one of the few good GfW releases...
