Grid 2
- Thread starter Frenzy
- Start date
Seeing as it uses the dirt showdown engine I imagine it was to save time and development costs.
I played all of Grid in cockpit mode it was half the fun of the game. Really wish I had not pre ordered now as I did not think they would take something so big in the first out of the second. Showdown was crap with no incar view.
Not happy...

If you pre-ordered on steam, you can get a refund by contacting them before the game is released.
i really dont get this cockpit thing, bonnet view is great, it might have been ok for people with 3 monitors, but it was poor if you had one and tried to use it.
Like codemasters say, only 5% of people used it, speaks volumes.
And all those who say they wont buy it because of it, im sure they will, there is no other game like Grid, people have tried, and failed.
Im sure in a month or two, it will come as part of a graphics card bundle, codies games always do.

I find that if you're playing with a controller, GRID in cockpit view is distracting (wheel movements) as it's pretty arcade. I prefer the bonnet view, and the same is true with DiRT 3 and Showdown for me. As long as there's a bonnet view I'm happy. Even with a wheel, it's fine, this isn't iRacing.
...
in other news, all the bonus pre-order rewards are now unlocked on steam
Really? That's great news!
How on earth did you not know this before you ordered? It's been mentioned all over the place, this very thread is full to the brim of some of the most melodramatic moaning about how the entire racing genre has been **** upon by Codemasters because they've removed cockpit view.
Personally I don't care, I hate it, just looks wrong when you're already viewing through a screen, bonnet cam is much better.
No cockpit view doesn't mean 'the only view is chase cam'.
someone will mod it so i wouldn't worry about it just hold off on purchase short while or buy now and play another view.
quite a lot of mod tools are available already that work with dirt and earlier grid so i cant see it being to hard to add in.

haha you watch within one month it will be modded in
bonnet view ftw. i always find cockpit view too restrictive to what i can see .
Was there a cockpit view modded in for Dirt Showdown?
the restrictive view makes the game more challenging and imo a lot more fun.
anyone know what size of fields this has?
I don't want to find myself buying in only to discover i'm racing against a max of 10-12 cars at a time ;( I want proper size grids
