Oh, wow – they’re really doing it. GRID Legends’ campaign will be filled with FMV cut-scenes, as Codemasters tries to recreate that recognisable Netflix-style documentary format to anchor its races. You’ll go behind-the-scenes at racing team Seneca, learning more about the characters and competitors on the GRID competing to become legends. It’s basically Drive to Survive with a stuffed crust.
The acting is toe-curling, as evidenced by the 40 minutes of footage embedded above, but we’re here for every single second of it. It’s all been shot on virtual sets, similar to shows like The Mandalorian. To be fair to the game, the racing looks decent, and a refreshing alternative to Gran Turismo 7 if you prefer more arcade-style track racers. Check it out above, and cringe with us in the comments section below.

Hopefully the car handling is good. Codemasters nailed the car handling in TOCA 3 and also Grid Autosport but in their more recent games like the Grid reboot and Dirt 5 the handling seems to have been dumbed down a bit.
At this point the sport itself resembles these FMVs more than footage of a few seasons back.
That looks so bad. I don't mean 80s bad that means good. I mean bad that means bad.
But I can't look away.....
So they took the worst part of all of the recent NFS games and ham-fisted them into GRID?
EA already making its presence felt.

Their GRID reboot had the sticky tires that the original GRID had. I liked it because it was a decent amount of arcade with a touch of sim. It made for more exciting races because you could go balls out and not have to worry (too much) about taking the perfect line. I kinda hope they stick with that. If I want sim-cade I'll stick with Forza MS and GT.

@eagletrippin I wonder if he calls you a dirty pig when you beat him
As long as the racing is solid. Really enjoying F1 2021.
lol hey, why are the mods deleting my comment i had here saying my comment was unconstructive? sorry bro, but opinions u dont like ARE the way of the world and the 1st amendment! not every comment is 'constructive' in the way YOU define it. anyway, as i said in my prior rightful opinion before i was discriminated against for saying it... the cutscene is goofy. it reminds me of the sega cd days. the cutscenes were worse back then lol. but it looks 100% 'woke' to me and cheesy. wouldnt touch it. i cant think of any racing fans who ask for real life cutscenes. the ones in midnight club years back were just in-game characters and they were more interesting than, say, real actors not acting very well.
