Meh, I wasn't going to buy it anyway.* Now bring out TOCA 3 on the XBox One and I'll be all over it!

Cant wait for this. Grid is the best, most enjoyable racer i've ever played. Nascar Heat is ruined by the online players who deliberately try to wreck you and the Gran Turismo style games are to slow and boring and require way too much grinding.*

I wish Codemasters had released Grid Autosport on the consoles. It was a pretty solid, multi-class racer on the PC. The original GRID on the 360 seemed to be a bit arcadish and wreck dependent to me.

Co-signed 1,000 percent. The GRID series isn't very good, so I'm not sweating this delay.

Revive TOCA and Project Gotham Racing, and I'll be in perpetual petrolhead bliss!

Yeah, you're right... I'd bought GRID 2 for the 360, but didn't like the force feedback wheel implementation in it. I thought that GRID Autosport had only come out for the PC. I bought it and was very happy with the force feedback in it, so there's not really a point in buying it for the XBox One X in BC mode. I'd wager that the force feedback implementation on the PC version is better than that of the XBox 360 version anyway. I don't have a console racing game yet, Forza 7 included, in which the force feedback feels better than the same game on the PC.

Thanks for pointing that out to me though, if it's part of Game Pass, I might download it anyway, just to see how it compares to the PC version.

I found a copy of this (GRID Autosport XBox 360) in the bargain bin for $3 and figured, what the heck, I'll give it a try. It's absolutely terrible with the force feedback steering wheel. It apparently is only configured for the now obsolete Microsoft Wireless force feedback steering wheel. I tried tweaking the sensitivity, linearity, wheel weight, force, saturation range, deadband for 1 1/2 hours last night and couldn't come up with anything that was remotely playable.

It's a shame because the same game on the PC delivered a slightly better than average force feedback wheel experience!? It works good with the controller, I guess, but anytime I can do better with a hand held controller than a force feedback wheel, I know the wheel implementation is severely flawed. I flat out suck with a hand held controller in a racing game.
