GRID™ Autosport

Wow! About time somebody releases a AAA experience on mobile! Finally! Great job! With all DLC is a plus. Far superior to the P2W games and is a full experience with a one time fee that is more than worth it! However, the game is unplayable for me without an mfi controller. It’s awesome to see a port like this but unfortunately suffers MAJOR graphical downgrades on the latest iPad Pro and iPhone even with the HD texture pack installed: almost no shadows, horrendously low-res cockpit and low-res textures in general, terrible lighting, low drawback distance, and all looks much worse than even the PS3 version of the game. Optimization for this game could really be worked on. I wouldn’t mind paying even $20 for this game if it was more optimized and looked better! Now I understand that a game can only be optimized so much before it becomes a hardware limitation, so it’s not the developers’ fault that the latest mobile devices are still not up to par with competitive gaming, but I still see that this game can be optimized at least a bit more in the future. Please update this game with fixes and optimization improvements in the future please! I see a great future for iOS devices becoming more and more powerful with the potential to have full console games ported over. With the last wave of fully ported console games being half a decade ago, the mobile triple A gaming drought seems to be dissipating with the next wave of good, full fledged games swooping in: Talos Principle, Bully, Life is Strange, and now GRID. EDIT: arrow controls and WOW, they improved the framerates dramatically! Thank you for listening to our feedback!

I love how this is a stand-alone game where you pay once and you play to your heart’s content, just like a true console game would be.. But wow... They claim that this is supposed to be more of a “simulator” style game, but I have driven many cars, and have never had so many issues just trying to drive in a straight line! NO car on earth drives like these in the game. It honestly feels as if you’re driving a boat with how slow the game responds to your attempts at turning, but it gets even more “fun” once your car starts to turns finally and suddenly it’s as if your whole car is driving on a solid ice patch with no traction whatsoever.. The cars control horribly. The graphics are okay, I wasn’t blown away by them, but I also wasn’t upset with them. Also, I haven’t seen a single option in the game for any kind of customization to the cars, or even any option to try to buy new cars. I may be wrong on that though, because after an hour of giving this game a chance, I just couldn’t bring myself to continue playing it. But I know that I never saw any options in there for it at all.. Overall, I love the fact that they are not trying to do the stupid in app purchase garbage, but playing this game felt like more of a job, than anything I would consider to be fun. I personally would not spend the money to buy it. The game itself gets 1 star from me, but I added another just because I like and respect the pay once aspect of it.

Best racing game on iOS. I’m an arcade racer nut! So dipping into more of a racer sim is a new experience for me. What a great experience! I like I can play when I want, without having to slog through a pay to win progression. Because I’m free from that type of over used progression model, it’s helped me to ease into this racer genre more easily. The game looks great, but some textures are still a little jank up close. The free DLC HD texture pack has failed for the inside of your car tho! But overall it is a beautiful looking game. The controls feel solid. When I mess up, I know it’s me, thanks to unforgivingly tight controls. I successfully use both tilt, and a wireless controller, but prefer to use the wireless controller exclusively on this one. Not true for other popular arcade racers, where I can’t control the car at all using a controller. With Grid, a wireless controller is a pleasure. CON: It makes my iPhone 7 hot fairly quickly. In terms of performance, it seems to run better than some people’s experience on latest iPhone. Performance is overall pretty good considering my dated phone, but I definitely will get minor frame rate issues at times. They can definitely do with better with optimization. PRO: Driving at high speeds down the streets of San Francisco. Definitely recommend as a great racing game, but also as refreshing old school approach to selling games. Respact!
