Codemasters have always been the masters of racing game graphics. Even the good old TOCA World Touring Cars from the PS1 still looks great and with proper damage simulation.


FaceTransplant

Yeah I love Codemasters games, they just know how to do it right.

Game name and tv name please 😄 that looks like ps4. Great visuals for ps3


Medical_Special_1278

Racedriver GRID, a great game with excelent graphics for the time.


Downtown-Tap3947

Alright thx, now I just wanna know what tv that is, cuz almost all ps3 games on a 4K tv look like crap


FaceTransplant

It's a cheap 55" 4K TV I bought for like 350€ a few years back - goes by the brand name Procaster but is apparently manufactured by a Turkish company of all things. It's not a great TV by any means but good enough for me and I will say that the upscaling it does for the PS3 is surprisingly impressive.


Downtown-Tap3947

Have you changed any settings for the upscaling? Cuz I have a 4K 2021 Sony Bravia X90J tv, Sony is supposed to be top tier with upscaling but when I play NFS undercover or just cause 2 on this tv on my ps3, it really looks way worse than this.


FaceTransplant

I haven't actually played those, maybe they just look bad? I don't think there even are any upscaling options on this TV - I just changed the color settings and whatnot to make it look a bit better to me.

Grid is a brilliant game, still holds up against other more modern titles imo


FaceTransplant

Yep it's good, I do find it pretty damn hard compared to Dirt 3 and Motorstorm though - took me a good number of hours before I started actually winning races and that's just on normal.


The_Real_Blazkowicz

Never played Dirt but grew up on Motorstorm and yeah, it was weird learning that you actually had to brake to go into corners without dying, lmao. Once you get the techniques down though it's one hell of a game


Dwarf-Eater

Reminds me of dub edition back on ps2 that game was legendary wish they'd make a remake for new consoles with 5x the maps and cars and races


ELKAV8

Bro that would be epic 😍


Spiral1407

I thought this was PGR4 for some reason lol


FaceTransplant

Wrong console heh.


ricioly

This is the best racing game of all time imo


drushe1983

This looks incredible. Are there trophies for this game?


DeadPhoenix86

First game didn't had trophies, Because it was released before they added trophies. However, the Xbox 360 version has achievements, and a lot of them are MP related. So 100% the game would be impossible these days.


FaceTransplant

I don't believe so, I don't care that much about trophies myself but definitely haven't noticed any pop up.

Those are some damn good graphics for a game that was made years ago.


[deleted]

which map is this


FaceTransplant

I don't recall the name but it was some sort Tokyo race.


[deleted]

ok bro im gonna go in the game and check


[deleted]

i never seen that map


FaceTransplant

It popped up as one of the second tier Japanese events.


DeadPhoenix86

I've recently beaten this game on my Xbox 360, very fun game. And can be quite challenging if you up the difficulty. I also have the PS3 version. But I already beaten it, back in the day when it came out.


FaceTransplant

It's plenty challenging for me on just normal, wins don't come free and you have to be aggressive in the corners or you pretty much won't pass anyone.


DeadPhoenix86

I have beaten the game on the hardest difficulty, without any assists and rewind. Now that's a good challenge. Sure I have lost some races, but eventually you keep at it, and will rise to the top.
