Where F1 2021 focused on the in-world drama between two fictional drivers with a documentary happening around them, GRID Legends goes all-in on the faux-documentary angle.Ĭharacters in the story are played by real actors in live-action FMV cutscenes. GRID Legends also continues Codies’ current interest in campaign modes that resemble Netflix’s pop-doc Formula One: Drive to Survive. All the things that feel good about a core racing game – overtakes, drafts, slingshots, holding the perfect line through a turn and getting on the power early – all still feel great.
Strong track design combined with tight controls and excellent gamefeel make every race an exciting experience.
And you forgive it because the racing feels so good. In GRID Legends, these incidents happen multiple times a lap, and are of almost no consequence whatsoever. Making contact with a rival would (if it didn’t instantly and irreparably damage your car, drastically reducing its pace) result in a harsh time penalty. Striking a wall at pace would tear a wheel off. If a single one of these incidents occurred in F1 2021, it would be the end of your race. You’re not punished for mistakes the way you would be in a hard simulation. The inference is clear: GRID Legends doesn’t take things too seriously, and neither should you. They’ll just turn in on you like you aren’t even there.
If you’re sending it up the inside through a turn, and have the right to your line through that turn, the AI won’t back out. The AI aren’t exactly masters of racecraft either. Dive bombing into a corner and striking an opponent already turning in, or taking a suboptimal line through a turn also won’t cost you. Though the game can be calibrated for greater realism, GRID Legends is at its best when blending moments of realism with nakedly arcade racing.īouncing off a wall doesn’t cost you much in time or momentum. The concession GRID Legends makes to get its multifaceted racing over the line is that it ditches any desire to be a pure racing sim. Stock car racing is exactly what it sounds like: put your foot on the gas and lose the brake pedal’s number. Electric racing is slower overall but includes Mario Kart style boosts that sit off the racing line. Truck races are harder to control, with slow acceleration and high speeds.

Each discipline has a style and feel of its own, which helps keep each individual race and series feeling fresh. Everything outside of the racing is shot in live-action in a typical, pre-race interview format with flashes of dramatic fights and celebrations that offer a glimpse into the world of Grid motorsports and the relationships and bitterness between drivers.GRID Legends is a multi-disciplinary racing game, covering stock car races, electric racing, touring car racing, and truck races.

Among the cast is Ncuti Gatwa of Netflix's Sex Education who plays an energetic driver involved in a tense conflict with another racer. The trailer shows off a cast of characters that range from overly-confident, former world champions to hopeful first-time winners, and everything in between. GRID Legends looks to continue the franchise while adding a live-action story showing the behind-the-scenes drama unfolding in the Grid motorsports scene.Īnnounced at EA Play Live and developed by Codemasters, GRID Legends aims for a cinematic racing experience pitting drivers against one another in the high-stakes Grid World Series. The GRID series has lived on the periphery of the racing game scene for some time now with its most recent game coming in 2019.
