Buyer Beware - GRID Autosport
5 years ago
I'm an idiot that didn't do his research, so now I'm warning you not to do the same.
GRID was one of my favourite racing game on the 360. I wanted on PC for 60 FPS and better convenience. So when I saw it on humble bundle for £5 I bought it.
Imagine my surprise when I found that it was basically the same graphics, AI, etc. But the game had dumbed down considerably.
There's no hiring co-drivers, no buying cars, no sponsorship deals, no money at all, just exp.
Why would they do this? I'd understand if the console version was dumbed down from the PC version, but why the other way around? Turns out there are 3 versions. GRID the 360 version (technically called Race Driver GRID), GRID with 2019 version, and GRID Autosport which is seems to be a version made for the Switch.
So yeah, 3 games, all with the same name, but GRID Autosport is a PC port of a Switch port of a Xbox 360. Don't get this version.
