Loved GRID so this is good news!

looks good

Loved the first game on the XBox 360 as the single player game is more fun than Forza plus when playing online having to be careful when there's cones on the track as if you got one stuck under your car you was never sure if you would get round the next corner

Hmm I never liked the feel of the cars in Grid. Much prefer a more simmy feel in racing games, generally. If they Can improve on the feel and handling I'd deffo be interested in this.

Yeah for a CGI trailer.

I wonder how good the ingame graphics will look since even the first GRID still looks pretty decent today, especially for the PC version.

Be nice if there was less of the Michael Bay sunshine brown though.

hopefully it'll be good, the first was great. no idea why its taken so long bringing out a sequel

 

[Phatjayunoi]

Yeah too much focus been put into the DIRT and F1 games.

GRID I would say has the much more accessible and appealing theme so why they took so long, who knows, but at least it is finally coming!

Maybe the first game was just that good that they found it difficult to get a sequel going.

GRID 2 won’t feature a cockpit view – Codemasters claims that only the 5% of racing gamers use it

 

[Noel Gallagher]

rubbish! even gt5 has cockpit! and most of them are ****!

and its the only mode i use!

 

[Phatjayunoi]

I dunno about the 5% statistic but in a way I can understand their decision.

I guess it's mainly those with the hardcore steering wheel setup that would mostly use this, and a game like GRID since it's more arcadey appeals more to the bigger mainstream audience who tend to use the other camera views.

Still, Codemasters you arsehats. Getting all cheap on us now aye!

rubbish! even gt5 has cockpit! and most of them are ****!

and its the only mode i use!

Yeah it but it is GT5 so it can't really compare to GRID.

Nooooo. I hope they don't change the feel and handling of the cars, much prefer Grid to these sim racers.

No cockpit view? It's the only one I use!

I'm out.

 

[Leeroy123]

Oh i hope this comes out on Pc, loved grid 1

I loved the original Grid. Found it far more enjoyable and fun than the like of Forza and GT5 and the Touge Battles were great..

 

[DAIR]

Loved the first one's career mode. Really hope they improve it!

 

[insane200]

If i remember the first always felt a little sluggish on the controls.

and regarding the cockpit view, i always use bumper view tbh, i prefer to see the whole track around me not bits of car.

gt5 is not for fun mate is simulation racing

 

[CyberCrow]

Can't wait for it, not that many good and fun car games.

 

[insane200]

This will be playable at Eurogamer so hopefully il get to play a bit.

 

[EYEREX]

Always raced the Touring Cars on Grid so hope that's still in the new game plus the Demolition Derby is a good laugh just hope they add a few more tracks as just two got a bit boring and having to then go back to the vote was a bit of a pain
