5:02 Did you guys mix up the Pro and X footage when talking about the grass? Tom said the X version has grass and the Pro doesn't but in the footage it's the other way around.
@Dillon Sykes "So what Alex refers to as 'grass being completely stripped out' is vertical blades of grass and geometry missing so its more like a texture of grass." But that what people mean when they say "grass", at least. Not just the flat texture on the ground.
I think he misspoke and meant the PS pro has grass. 44% more resolution and less Jaggies on the X!X allows them to push the settings like Grass up on the PS pro. That would make sense anyway. I dnt think 1X has a 44% resolution gap AND higher settings. The X is more powerful, certainly by quite a bit, but not THAT much more powerful.
@@colinr2550 that's what you give up when you are more worried about resolution than game play. To be honest both Microsoft and sony suffer from this. With one difference. I can almost understand why sony does it. They want to push their 4k TVs. But Microsoft is not a hardware or tv company. So why they do it is beyond me
It would be interesting if you guys talked more about the games sound design, not just for GRID , but for most games that have standout audio in them. Thank you for the great work.
If I look at the total picture pro is the winner here. The resolution it not visible that much. But the grass, better .... filtering and frame rates are.
The res is absolutely noticeable. I'm guessing you're watching this on a non 4K display and if so, yes, they would look pretty similar. But they're not.
Tbh no I saw it on my phone. But as a PC 4k gamer on a Samsung q9 65 inch TV I can tell you there is not much of a difference between 1440p and 1800p. The grass and other filtering are more noticeable
I guess you accidentally swapped the comparison shots shown from 5:09 - 5:46 At 5:23 you can also see that the version with grass, has better AF, which makes me question what you said about "better AF on PS4 Pro" previous to the grass comparison.
And it seems that the image on the right has a higher resolution, so I am guessing that the image is not swapped, but that it is the xbox one x version that does not have the grass, and it is possible that (as in the borderlands ) the X version inherits the lower xbox one settings
The X has worse graphics (no grass, shit filtering), they just don't know what they are talking about. The labels are correct, their information is wrong.
They probably will since a lot of people are saying it's a good port and in this video they mention it's from a month before launch that they recorded this.
Considering that every single grid sequel up to this one has been shit from a gameplay standpoint, and that the switch version looks worse than the last gen versions: what the fuck are you talking about-do you have proper consoles, and/or a PC for comparison? Are you just a switch fanboy?
@@null_subject The Switch is absolutely my main console, even if I have a steering wheel and an ok gaming pc its still Grid Autosport that I have time for at the moment, whats wrong with enjoying some gaming in portable mode?
TL;DR: The XBox One X version, despite higher resolution, lacks grass, not the PS4 Pro. I'm confused. I thought you mixed up the footage when talking abut the grass, but on close inspection (as much as is possible on a YT vid) the resolution is higher on the right hand side, which means the footage is correctly labelled, it's the script that's wrong.
Actually the first GRID game was just phenomenal. I played it on 360 controller on PC, it was just so good. Damage physics was just ahead of it's time back then and driving physics was a nice mix between arcade and simulation. Drift was insane tho hah
Sometimes it was a little bit exaggerated, when a carbon fiber bumper would get bend (which makes no sense), but overall it was amazing seeing parts hanging or flying off the car.
Where are the cool physics that actually made grid special ? What happened with your car being totaled or you wheels popping out when you crashed into a wall to hard ? I feel like hundreds of games have been made just like this one already, all casual and aimed at kids
Every single grid sequel up 'til now has been shit, and I'm not sure this one will get the series back on track. Grid had the best racing AI ever. Those epic crashes that could happen in front of you, HMMMMM gimme gimme!
I never played Grid, so I just watched a crash compilation for the game. But it did not looked very impressive to me. I'm currently playing Wreckfest, which has the best real time destruction and deformation I have ever seen in a racing game.
@@feyt8009 Yeah, I just checked again and I really might have watched the wrong video. The video I watched was for Grid Autosport. Not Racedriver Grid. Sorry. Watched the right game and crash compilation now. It's not bad, but i think even Burnout Paradise had better crashes and damage models. But does Grid have real licensed cars? If so, then I'm more impressed, because as we know, the car manufacturers usually don't like to see their cars getting destroyed in games.
I always read descriptions as I start a video, so your update is fine with me, Rich. But as we both can see down here, it seems I may be in the minority. Lord have mercy!
So besides resolution the PS4 has better graphics (grass, and better filtering) and runs better? Poor console peasants, they always get screwed over, even when they buy the most powerful hardware.
Love PC virgins beg for games hahah. They begged for Halo and gears for years until Microsoft decided to give them mercy. Know your place bottom-feeders
jvalex18 Reread the comment again, your lack of reading comprehension is showing but I’m not surprised from someone who is subscribed to PewdiePie, H3H3, and Annoying Orange LMAOOO
Wow all you guys keep saying the videos were switched. No. He just mis spoke. The pro has the better filter and has the grass. The x gave those up to hit higher resolution and maintain frames
@Ashley Ramirez I'm not sure Microsoft has much to do with a 3rd party dev. But there is a line that once you cross it you have to give other things up. So to hit the resolution that they wanted to they had to give up some non essentials. Things that most won't notice unless you do what DF does and go frame by frame and stop and blow a frame up 300% in real time you won't notice the filter issue and you more than likely won't notice the grass issue. But you may notice the resolution difference if you have a 4k tv. If not. You won't even notice that difference.
@DigitalFoundry, please take a look at the Switch version of Grid, the result is very very impressive! Graphics, controls, sounds... What a job from the devs!!
Breath of Fresh Air you don’t need to tell absolutely everyone what happens you’re the one that clearly doesn’t have a life if you have time to post that comment on every post that mentions this
Played this game a ton on Xbox One X, but I recently picked up the Ultimate Ed on PS4 Pro during the recent sale. I've noticed way more screen tearing and frame drops on PS4 Pro. I actually never really noticed it on X1X at all. My PS4 Pro also gets ridiculously loud while playing this.
Looks like the graphics didn't look as bad as I thought before. Sure it isn't as great as FH4, GT Sport, or even DRIVECLUB visually but still it's pretty good looking game.
It looks exactly like Grid 2, which came out 2013 on previous gen consoles, Grid 2 looked amazing when it came out (still looks great), but in 2019 racing games should at least look like Driveclub, which came out 2014...
Love how Pro enhanced titles constantly target 1440p yet the Pro wont natively support a 1440p display. It kind of keeps pissing me off over and over again.
Maybe there's a similar situation here where the X inherits the graphics quality settings of the base Xbox One and the Pro of the base PS4. Quite lazy of the devs if that's the case
Yep, noticabley worse anisotropic filtering and foliage but then to top it all off no adaptive resolution either to stabilize the frame rate. That exta power counts for nothing when the devs don't put the effort in, the X version should look and perform the best without question.
That notebook CPU comes back to haunt the 8th generation of consoles. It's obvious this is an early build though so who knows, the problems may be fixed.
I used to love all kinds of racing games but I just cant find any urge to play them anymore since many years back. Strange how it can change . Same with sports games. Never play them anymore but used to love them.
I have very high hopes for this game as the first Grid is one of my favorite racers of all time. The sequels got away from that first game's handling, focus, and sense of fun. I really hope this game is a return to form.
DF messed it up completely. In the retail verision the missing grass has been fixed, as well as some other issues. Now both versions looks exactly the same, except for higher resolution on Xbox One X. Making such comparisons on pre-release versions of the game is just a waste of time...
I recently got the Ultimate Ed for PS4 Pro during the sale. I bought it on X1X at launch and played it a lot. I'm noticing more screen tearing and dropped frames on PS4 Pro, the system fan also gets crazy loud.
One thing I'm surprised you didn't discuss in the video: what's with the strange hitching every 1,5 seconds? Is that the fault of the freesync? It looks pretty bad, almost as if the game tics were not timed with monitor refresh rates.
Cmon guys, grid autosport on switch is way more interesting than an early build of this game. There's way more to talk about with that while this is just an easy to video to make I'm sad you guys made zero mention of grid autosport on switch despite the several opportunities you had. It's like you're avoiding it.
The original grid was a very muted saturation if they're is such a thing.. This remastered version seems to have got rid of that grey which leaves us with the saturation
I've always found ps4 output seems to have its default contrast and saturation bumped up a bit compared to the neutral xbox output, even from launch back in 2013. Makes things pop a bit more (why it was done) but at the cost of realism.
Ignorance is the issue here. The industry has unfortunately succeeded in dumbing down the general population into thinking that "resolution" is paramount when the reality is that performance or "frame rates" are the far more pressing issue. The goal for these developers should be making the games run at locked 60FPS and NOT be so concerned that the game looks pretty only when you're not in motion (like less than 1% percent of the time..) Games play and look MUCH better at 1080p/60FPS than 4K/30FPS without question and the same is true when you reach truly high frame rates above 100hz. Too many apparently STILL do not understand just how important frame rates are when it comes to gaming. Resolution means VERY LITTLE when you don't have the performance to back it up. As usual the reason for the lack of performance is largely due to the lack of CPU power and hence the reason I'd never recommend console gaming to anybody even half way concerned with gaming performance. Really it doesn't cost all that much more to buy / build a rig that can run AAA games at 1080p/60FPS + which is FAR superior than what any current gaming console can do.
On a Samsung QLED TV you'll have Freesync down to 48fps. As long as they can keep above that number then Freesync users will keep a fluid gameplay experience. Apparently they didn't keep above 48fps all the time, and I'm not saying the severe FPS drops are excusable, but still you do have ways to mitigate this kind of thing on Xbox X.
@Mike UK 1970 welp. at least the switch gets that much. but can it really not run the new grid? i feel like codematers is doing the whole "testing waters" thing on switch.
@Mike UK 1970 what they should have done, was just made the GRID reboot for switch right off the bat i wouldn't be surprised at all that a 5 year old game won't sell well
Richard please this is a completely different question but please can you tell me what framerate ps2 and xbox fatal frame games run at? I can't find it anywhere online and i am really frustrated....
Grid 1 is my fav Racing game. Shame no other game comes close to it, even Grid 2 or the other racers. I hope this one does, but it doesnt seem to. I loved how easy it was to crash, how much dirt came out of the cars when they went out of the track, how cars got dirty or broken. It wasss soooo cool to see a crash, something i just got to see in Wreckfest. Still, Grid 1 wins even over that for me cuz its more realistic as well.
I've said this in every comment about Grid 1 that it was perfect because it was just as much fun in that game to race the perfect line as it was to total the car. I think they knew it too, because they had no-touch duels as well as a demolition derby, and both felt good. That's when you have that sim-arcade balance just right. I hope this game returns to that.
grant4evergamer They’re mentioning PC because the game is very optimized , hence why it can hit 60. GRID is a different game made by different developers
Actually i have both consoles and i don't care about the graphics, but could someone tell us if there will be a split screen local co op gameplay option in the game please? Or like most of the racing games, online multiplayer only. Thank you.
A 1440p mode on the Xbox One X makes sense, since 1440p monitors are supported via Xbox ironically unlike on the Pro. The game looks like fun and physical damage is accepted with open arms.
I don't see why people make a big deal if a game drops from 60fps to 52fps, it's silly. That's like someone complaining their game dropping from 90fps to 80fps.... it's still high enough to be good.
Yeah! I too am 12 years old and only play kiddie games on an under-powered tablet, please review the switch port of this old, shitty game that looks worse than it's last gen counterpart. So exciting!
Woow look at these Grid 2 graphics, I'm so impressed... The worst part of this is, it's a 55€ game (costs almost as much as a tripple A game) that's 10x the size of Grid 2, even though it has basically the same amount of content and will require a way more powerful PC with like a Ryzen 5 and a RX 580 to be able to run at ultra level of Grid 2 graphics. Are Codemasters joking or what? This is at max a 30€ game.
7:06 these are the worst shadows I've ever seen, what's going on? The original grid didn't have that problem, they can't possibly be this incompetent can they? Well now I realize that they fucked up every grid sequel they've ever made, so let's hope this one is alright on PC.
You'd not say that if you have a good 4k display... The shimmer that you get when the TV or console upscales is just so distracting, especially when you have mostly hard edge geometry, unless you filter the hell out of it but then you might as well run at 1080 if you do that.
@jvalex18 U mean 4K is only hard for Multi-Platform games. Sony push PS4 pro past it's limits with 4K checkerboard games. And Microsoft would've had more 4K games if they had more games this gen.
No it's because lazy ass game developers don't want to take the time and effort to do the work right Microsoft and Sony better crack the whip on their asses when the next systems come out
Confused with the grass comment. The PS4 Pro has grass. Just designed differently as it looks like it's got more growth and hasn't been mowed lol Honestly, the graphics difference really isn't that much different. Most people wont even notice if blind tested.

The goal for these developers should be making the games run at locked 60FPS and NOT be so concerned that the game looks pretty only when you're not in motion (like less than 1% percent of the time..) Games play and look MUCH better at 1080p/60FPS than 4K/30FPS without question and the same is true when you reach truly high frame rates above 100hz. Too many apparently STILL do not understand just how important frame rates are when it comes to gaming. Resolution means VERY LITTLE when you don't have the performance to back it up.
As usual the reason for the lack of performance is largely due to the lack of CPU power and hence the reason I'd never recommend console gaming to anybody even half way concerned with gaming performance. Really it doesn't cost all that much more to buy / build a rig that can run AAA games at 1080p/60FPS + which is FAR superior than what any current gaming console can do.
AM Watching this on my CRT monitor. Looks amazing.!!
GRID for Switch when?
This isn't the Death Stranding analysis
That would be a great idea, looked like a fun game.
jvalex18 I know, right.
On a Samsung QLED TV you'll have Freesync down to 48fps. As long as they can keep above that number then Freesync users will keep a fluid gameplay experience.
Apparently they didn't keep above 48fps all the time, and I'm not saying the severe FPS drops are excusable, but still you do have ways to mitigate this kind of thing on Xbox X.
The grass was on the pro, he said that backwards
Edis Delgado I think the footage was swapped
Everyone: getting ready to buy grid for current gen consoles
Me: still playing grid for ds :(
@Mike UK 1970 that's not the same grid.
Dex the gamer 😂
@Mike UK 1970 welp. at least the switch gets that much. but can it really not run the new grid? i feel like codematers is doing the whole "testing waters" thing on switch.
@Mike UK 1970 what they should have done, was just made the GRID reboot for switch right off the bat
i wouldn't be surprised at all that a 5 year old game won't sell well
The whole comment section: GRASS!!!
10:30 the wiper pattern doesn't even follow the wiper blade animation, lol
For everyone up in arms about the grass how many of you are paying attention to it when you're flying around the dam track
Richard please this is a completely different question but please can you tell me what framerate ps2 and xbox fatal frame games run at? I can't find it anywhere online and i am really frustrated....
Grid for Switch please!
Guys you can stop asking about the grass i think he saw it after the first 200 comments.
Grid 1 is my fav Racing game. Shame no other game comes close to it, even Grid 2 or the other racers. I hope this one does, but it doesnt seem to. I loved how easy it was to crash, how much dirt came out of the cars when they went out of the track, how cars got dirty or broken. It wasss soooo cool to see a crash, something i just got to see in Wreckfest. Still, Grid 1 wins even over that for me cuz its more realistic as well.
I've said this in every comment about Grid 1 that it was perfect because it was just as much fun in that game to race the perfect line as it was to total the car. I think they knew it too, because they had no-touch duels as well as a demolition derby, and both felt good. That's when you have that sim-arcade balance just right. I hope this game returns to that.
Shadows appearing right in front of your face is not a thing for such kind of game in 2019. The game looks nice other than that.
Give me 1080 and a solid 60fps instead of 80% of 4K and frame drops
Its too difficult to do on current gen consoles
I'll take the pseudo 4k and frame drops, 1080p is cack
I'd like to see this 'potato' PC you're talking about that can run Forza Motorsport 7 at 4k 60 fps.
grant4evergamer They’re mentioning PC because the game is very optimized , hence why it can hit 60. GRID is a different game made by different developers
@@unknowinglyfavorite8631 Not really
Really hope you guys doing a MW Beta 4K PS4 pro vs Xbox One X comparison so i could kick in which one to buy it for :)
please grid autosport switch analysis!!!! :):):):)
Actually i have both consoles and i don't care about the graphics, but could someone tell us if there will be a split screen local co op gameplay option in the game please? Or like most of the racing games, online multiplayer only. Thank you.
A 1440p mode on the Xbox One X makes sense, since 1440p monitors are supported via Xbox ironically unlike on the Pro. The game looks like fun and physical damage is accepted with open arms.
You guys inverted the screens ? The grass comparison does note with what Thom is dating.
Has this been cleared up yet ?
I don't see why people make a big deal if a game drops from 60fps to 52fps, it's silly.
That's like someone complaining their game dropping from 90fps to 80fps.... it's still high enough to be good.
The coming PC release will of course be the superior version of them all.
No one cares.
Using a 980 ti pretty old card. YOU just need something decent to game on doesn't have to be new/latest thing. Also some form of knowledge helps.
Digital Foundry has so many subscribers but so little views in return. RIP TH-cam checkmark.
Uh oh digital foundry you have to comment on “Grassgate”. Did you mix them up, or did you lie? 😂
Meanwhile I'm enjoying a lot grid on the switch, pretty damn cool game
Did Tom smoke some *grass* before talking about the grass comparision?
looks and run smooth so far, the final changes might be very subtle at the end
Will you guys do a similar video for COD : MW Beta on consoles and PC please ?
Damn, Codemasters have come a long way from being a budget developer from the early 2000s!
Codemasters are still a AA studio mate
We want the Nintendo Switch Version. Please Please Digital Foundry. Grid for Nintendo Switch
Yeah! I too am 12 years old and only play kiddie games on an under-powered tablet, please review the switch port of this old, shitty game that looks worse than it's last gen counterpart. So exciting!
@@null_subject you ignorant.
Woow look at these Grid 2 graphics, I'm so impressed...
The worst part of this is, it's a 55€ game (costs almost as much as a tripple A game) that's 10x the size of Grid 2, even though it has basically the same amount of content and will require a way more powerful PC with like a Ryzen 5 and a RX 580 to be able to run at ultra level of Grid 2 graphics. Are Codemasters joking or what? This is at max a 30€ game.
Man, GRID2 has way better visuals! I can't believe they are going to release so outdated game in 2019
7:06 these are the worst shadows I've ever seen, what's going on? The original grid didn't have that problem, they can't possibly be this incompetent can they? Well now I realize that they fucked up every grid sequel they've ever made, so let's hope this one is alright on PC.
Isnt this coming to the switch
1440p is fine. The improved detail and filtering make PS4 Pro look way better.
You'd not say that if you have a good 4k display... The shimmer that you get when the TV or console upscales is just so distracting, especially when you have mostly hard edge geometry, unless you filter the hell out of it but then you might as well run at 1080 if you do that.
Did the preview have HDR? I can see this one looking especially nice.
Just innocent quest... Does Xbox One X delivers higher resolution than PS4 Pro or there is something else like lighting, shadowns and framerate?
I swear, you guys teased CRT content WAY TOO HARD to have gone this long without seeing some of that goodness. -.-
Is this game still going to be on the switch?
Yeah. is very good Grid autosport. trust me
Nope, only one of the old shitty sequel that no on liked, and it manages to look worse than it's 360 counterpart. Have fun.
"you are getting your money's worth for that res difference"
They look identical to my eye, maybe i'm going blind? :|
Michael C I don’t see a difference either on a 4K monitor.
What about Grid on Switch (not the same game, i know) ???
5:05
That was mixed up. Either footage was labeled wrong or y'all read the script wrong and didn't catch it.
It needs multiple patches to be well cooked. and a patch for the freaking PS4 to be 60fps.
osamaFXX yea it looks like a ps3 game on the ps4
What's up with so many games in 2019 not using the full power of Xbox One X to hit 4K
Uh maybe because it drops frames and makes the racing experience very unstable.....
@jvalex18 U mean 4K is only hard for Multi-Platform games. Sony push PS4 pro past it's limits with 4K checkerboard games. And Microsoft would've had more 4K games if they had more games this gen.
No it's because lazy ass game developers don't want to take the time and effort to do the work right Microsoft and Sony better crack the whip on their asses when the next systems come out
I was so ready to buy this on the X, but if that frame rate isn’t fixed they’re not getting my money.
Over one game?
CovertBrony read what I said one more time
@@DeesBees85 Like I had said. Over a single game?
CovertBrony you’re clearly not understanding, but that’s ok.
Fps>1728p. But hey at least X has VR and exclusives..
Oh wait..
4k>60fps on my Samsung 4k 55" HDR that My PS4 can't do....
@@AvieeNash I would rather take a lower resolution at 60fps instead of no grass and 45FPS in 4K in a racing game
“VR” lol
Could you possibly look at Grid Autosport on Nintendo Switch as that game has been ported to Nintendo Switch
tdek33 that game is so old
Im loving the game on Switch
@@DeesBees85 Mmm... Nobody care. Im enjoying the game now on Switch
Is it using a bad version of TAA? I've noticed a lot of ghosting like object trails in some scenese
Please do Grid Autosport on Switch
To the average gamer there is no difference.
Confused with the grass comment. The PS4 Pro has grass. Just designed differently as it looks like it's got more growth and hasn't been mowed lol Honestly, the graphics difference really isn't that much different. Most people wont even notice if blind tested.
That's a deal-breaker for me. No grass no purchase. It's that simple 😂
Doesn't seem like a big difference visually from Grid 2.
King thrash got these dude finally putting some effort into their videos now
Storm-Shadow123 and they still mixed up the grass😂😂
Finally what is the best version ?
More "true 4k," on the One X I see :p
Lol with framerate drops and no grass.
minners71 In other words small things u won’t notice enough to matter
What are you talking about? It's completely fine on Series X.
