Just got an email telling me to consider a pre-order, and I was actually thinking about it, then I saw that again they put stuff behind pre-order, this time a car, some liveries and some sponsors. But hey, at least it is not part of a track, right?
To expect a big game coming out in 2014 to not have any kind of pre-order bonus is a bit ridiculous...

I'm not expecting that, but locking cars? Really? As I said before, at least is not part of a track like they did with Grid 2, but I'm still against it.
While we don't know if what I'm saying is true, the pre-order Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Coupé Black Series could be another version of the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT3 in the Endurance class Tier 1. One of the pre-order bonuses for GRID 2 was Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 GT. Another version of the same car, the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren 722 Edition, could be unlocked at level 21 in online play so really the pre-order bonus got you earlier access to a car.

Why is $50 = 50?
Why did you change Codemasters

couldn't you guys have just started with high quality track assets/textures and dumbed them down for the old consoles?

That's exactly what I thought they were doing, but it seems it will be the same shitty "last gen" textures all over for PC too except for cars... very disappointing.
I think it has to do with the tracks being just ripped from previous games. They're not going to retexture all those tracks now...
I can't believe how any PC gamer could be "hyped" at this point for this game to make preorders.
I had a nice dream where I was playing this on PC... This video will feed me, for now. Thanks!
I know this will sound Craaaaaazy to you but believe it or not, some people are more interested by the actual gameplay and content than the quality of the track textures. I know right? Shocking!
To me, small budget is what keeps me for pre-ordering this game. I owned the first Grid on the PS3, now I have it on Steam, I also have the digital version of Grid 2 on the PS3 but finished on Steam, again. I'm actually interested in the gameplay of this game. 1080p 60FPS will be nice enough for me and I would be happy to play this day one but I can't.
It's all about different standards, tastes and opinions and what matters is for us to respect each other.

For me graphics/textures are just a bonus for a racing game, controls, Physics/FFB and sounds are a lot more important.

Thanks for the video; shame the GT40 doesn't sound much like a GT40 at all. I do hope the sound is a placeholder.
CM announces more features for PC, "Day 1 HD texture pack" and more visual quality yadda-yadda, but in the showed footage to date there is nothing of that to see, and the texture pack being just for cars means that we can consider the tracks look on the gameplay videos final.
Everybody has his biases. I don't care much for consoles version or multiplayer, whereas for other people may be N.1 concerns.
I care about gameplay and content, and I don't find anything I've seen so far any impressive.
As a potential customer, I see me mostly playing all over again the same tracks I've been playing in Grid2 for the past year, with a "less arcade" handling and interior cameras, something that already were done in mods for Grid2...
There hasn't been even a word about modding on this game. If like some people suggested this game is like a "farewell" from CM to the EGO engine before jumping on to a next-gen new engine/games, it could be a great thing if it was more open for the community to improve at least, but I guess that's not the idea at all...
I just don't see enough value on this game to pay full price for it, and then again more DLC later, ...
I like the night time lighting. I much prefer to see late dusk moonlit skies with clouds than a pure black night sky with just a few stars. The ambient light on the trackside is handled well too.
I'm guessing this is PC footage?

Thanks for putting in the cockpit view again. I didn't buy GRID 2 specifically for that reason. The game is unplayable to me otherwise.
Hey Loore, can I ask you something? I've noticed that the Indycar model is the one used on oval tracks (smaller wings, less downforce). This wasn't a problem in Grid 2 because it was a much more arcadey game. But now we have Grid Autosport, that will try to be more realistic. So, will these cars be driveable on road and street courses (because of the low downforce)? Or will you guys ignore this and make it with higher downforce levels, and they'll be overly twitchy on oval tracks?
I'm excited to the prospect of making a twenty something custom championship with these beasts, but I have this concern, you know, like "will it be bad on street and road courses?" or "will it be overly twitchy on oval tracks?"

I was going to ask the same but didn't see anything, even on their forums.
Oh dear, the game seems to be launching on PC during Steam Summer Sale. Bad luck for Codies, that. On the plus side for me, I might finally get a shot at getting Dirt 3 on sale. Been on my wishlist for years, but dropping GFWL finally gave me enough reason to get it. Wouldn't be opposed to picking up another copy of GRID 1 as well, since I never have my optical drive installed anymore.
Yikes, bad timing.
Finally got around spending my GMG credit on the Codies sale:
GRID 1
DiRT 3
GRID 2 Reloaded
So that should give me an additional discount on GRID Autosport if I decide to preorder. I could have just asked someone on my friends list who owns GRID 2 to buy it for me, but I wouldn't have been able to use my Steam wallet credit.

Looks like this is the only thing we will get out of Cody at E3...really dissapointing.

I'll be getting this game, but would have liked some next gen sizzle from them at E3.
The cockpits are really not that big of a deal for me but since we already have the base stuff there, I hope modders will create some high res texture.
I hope the announced HD Texture pack includes better cockpit interiors too, but anyway that's not something that can be fixed just by modding textures.
The geometry is very basic, even shading like metals, etc. and to date, CodeMasters have been very protective about the mod possibilities for cars in their games, meaning they don't allow modifying car models at all. Again, I think this just have to do with CM being able to sell cars DLC and not allowing the community to extend their games life too much. You know, who's going to buy 2-3 CM games + DLC's every year if the community improve those games for free...
Something like this work from Maldo on GRID2 is what I was hoping for the "HD Texture Pack" to be:
GRID2 Vanilla:
HD Retexture by Maldo:

HD Retexture by Maldo:

But this is not going to be the case at all with GRID Autosport. Kudos to Maldo anyway, that's great work indeed (for free).

I'll take blurry cockpits over no cockpits ANY DAY OF THE WEEK
Absolutely forever. And it will not be a slightest issue when driving IMO
It is a tradeoff I will always accept
I've gotten used to it with GRID 2 mods though. (playing with no HUD)

It is still a tradeoff though...
You can fellow GAFfer. At least is what it says in the above picture.
It's the only Dirt that I never played, and while it's a lot different I always been curious about it.
