Just in case anyone missed it, the GRID demo is out now. It’s 893mb and some excellent racing fun. There are three events in those megabytes, including a Ford Mustang GT-R in San Francisco, a Nissan S15 Silvia in Yokohama Docks, and a BMW 320si touring car for the crashing into other cars on every bend. Officially quite a good demo.

I find this game super hard. I will fully admit that I suck at racers, but any tips on how to not lose instantly on the first corner?
started playing the demo again, on multiplayer(which i didnt realise was there before) works perfectly.
needs mouse support/configureable controls though, hate navigating in race menues with F keys.
Just a quick heads up. This game will cost a paltry £24 on release. That’s a nice price for a game like this – especially when it’s being released for more on the consoles. Yes indeedy.
seen it for £19.99

Beat that! :D
In the readme file it says that higher resolutions are disabled for people with less than 512MB video ram, which is probably why for some people (like myself) the game appears not to support widescreen resolutions.
The demo is a big disappointment since I was really looking forward to this game. The controls are so hypersensitive, if I so much as tap the analogue stick it instantly spins the car 90 degrees which makes the simplest corners almost impossible, and the graphics look like crap (not helped by the low resolution, my monitor’s native res is 1680 by 1050 but the game allows me to use is 12xx by 10xx or something, and no widescreen resolutions are possible).

I’ve got a P4 2.8Ghz, 2GB DDR2, with 7600GT (albiet, manufacturer OC with nonstandard 1400Mhz DDR3 instead of the usual 7600GT with 800Mhz) and it runs perfectly fine on my machine running XP Pro
*shrug* I’m thinking there must be some conflict or something else going on with your PC to cause this because there’s certainly no obvious evidence of “anti-ancient technology” when I run it!
