Bought! Waiting for the Early Access. Looks very promissing.

Awesome, I thought the alpha would only have that one track

Steam keys going out today!
A tweet from yesterday
Also that bottom right track in the above screenshot is a sandbox/arena level with ramps, destructible objects, etc.

CRAP! I totally missed the funding phase. I was about to do it over the weekend and well, got distracted with reviews.
ARGH!

Once there are more weapons, the Arena battles are going to be crazy. With cars driving on the walls and ceiling and flying off ramps

No embargo as far as I'm aware.
Really enjoying it so far. Once more is added it'll be great. Really feels like Rollcage and look forward to the future updates.

Super early... but this is definitely a successor to Rollcage. Those tunnels

Anyone still not got their key?
check junk folder, mine was in there
Anyone still not got their key?
Just came back from work and looked at my emails, still nothing.
Edit:
Whoops lol talked too fast it's right there. Weird, this is the first time it ever happens to me. Thanks for mentioning it, I would have never thought about it.
Well UE has command line parameters that could be added on steam, not sure if it works though: https://docs.unrealengine.com/lates...ics/CommandLineArguments/index.html#rendering

To change the screen resolution, right click on Grip in your library, then properties, then set launch options.
Add "-ResX=1920 -ResY=1080" without the quotations, and change the res to whatever 16x9 ratio you like.

Awesome GIF.
Can't wait to get home and have a go myself!
EDIT: Finally got to play a few races of this, so here's some early impressions.
First of all, the game is gorgeous. Even this early on, it looks totally fantastic. Control-wise, the cars feel really nice to drive and impart a great sense of speed. Music is also great, and gets you suitably pumped.
Biggest issue for me right now is how incredibly touchy the physics are. If you so much as glance at a piece of geometry as you pass it, you'll find yourself 50ft in the air, backwards, sideways and upside down in no-time flat. Getting any air at all is an absolute liability, with your car almost guaranteed to be facing any direction other than forwards by the time you've landed. In the few races I've played so far, I often found myself placing simply because half the other racers had launched themselves into bits of scenery they weren't smart enough to escape from. It seems like the game wants you to go fast, but only if you're capable of performing a 100% perfect racing line the entire time.

Just found out about this yesterday, wish I had a key. Rollcage is my fave racing game and this looks fantastic.

the game looks great, it's destroying my titan x at 4k though like most ue4 games, with max settings , no aa (txaa doesn't seem to work yet) and no motion blur get like 40-45fps on start grid full of cars, then the race starts and it's usually above 50fps, card at 99% always
the drum and bass isn't my usual flavour (mainly listen to liquid) but i knew this before and it doesn't matter as it goes with the game really well and sounds great!
barring getting stuck on the scenery and the physics wonkyness, the game is already damn great
cheers for that
yeah the games a little dodgy in that regard right now, 100% expecting it to be fixed fairly quickly though

Gave it a spin (literally).
First I had to disable my DK2, because with it enabled the game started in Rift mode which isn't fully functional at this point
Other than that, the game is gorgeous, and it runs really well given what it displays in my opinion. Thanks UE4!
Gameplay-wise, I'm happy that the "Rollcage feeling" is already there in tunnels and with many of the jumps. The physics are still wonky in some places, particularly in how collsisions are handled, but I think this is something which can be resolved by further iteration and tweaking.
Looking good so far!

Man that looks incredible! Been so busy with work that I totally forgot that the keys were going to be sent out yesterday. Hope my key was sent.
Update:
Just checked my inbox and found my key for GRIP. Installing it right now and gonna see how good it runs on my GTX 970.

So I got to play GRIP and let me say right off the bat...oh man did they nail the feeling of Rollcage! I felt like I was actually playing a next gen Rollcage and the game is only in the Alpha phase. Hats off to CagedElement for actually achieving this.
The performance based on my PC build is very good and I can pretty much max out everything and still have solid frame rate. The vehicles in the game definitely have a heavy feeling to them and can actually spin out of control on sandy areas quite easily. To mediate this you really need to use the brakes and let go of the gas at the right times. This is also crucial when landing from a jump.
The power pickups feel pretty solid from what I can tell. The one weapon that can definitely ruin your day is the landmine. Sometimes it is a pain to avoid because of how massive the trigger field is. Also if you drop these with an enemy tail gating you, the mine will also do damage to you as well. There are other pick ups such as boost, machine gun, missile and also a shield. There might be more and I just haven't picked them up yet.
The biggest problem I have with it is what PaulloDEC stated.
This is still in Alpha so this will probably be improved in later builds.
Still I am happy with what they have achieved with this build and can't wait to see future development.
By the way here are the specs of my PC.
- EVGA GTX 970 4GB
- Intel Core i5 4670k
- RAM 16GB

Because it was cancelled lol (wasn't looking positive though)How did I miss this kickstarter...
It looks really good, I can't believe we can't have more arcade racers like this.
I'd like to get in on early access but I'll probably wait until there's a bit more there (swimming in games at the moment). Looking forward to supporting GRIP though, arcade racing lives!

Still some physics problem but the devs are aware of it. This game needs a 'wrong way' indicator. Other then that, the sense of speed feels awesome!! Feels really good when you press on boost! 😄

Yup waiting for early access now,glad I backed it.
There's only one "complete" track in the alpha at the moment, which you can see HERE. Collision/physics issues make it kinda tricky at the moment, but from what I've played I feel it's going to be a lot of fun down the line.
There's also a second track (student-made, apparently) with a much more open design. You can see some gameplay of that HERE. I actually really dig this one, it's a refreshing change from the tight corridors of the other track.

Reminds me of POD which was one of the best pc games of its time imo.
