GRID 2 GRID 2

[Bram Hengeveld]

CVG had the following to report about GRID 2. Seems that after many years a sequel is in the making.

Race Driver: GRID released way back in 2008 and people liked it. A lot. So where the bloody hell's the sequel? It's coming, according to the Official Xbox Magazine UK.

The rumours page of the latest issue of OXM gives GRID fans a new reason to be excited. "The GRID team at Codemasters is actively working on GRID 2," says the magazine. "It's likely to arrive after the release of F1 2012."

F1 2012 is expected to hit shops in September, so it's possible Codies could be eyeing a late 2012 release for the currently unannounced sequel.
There have been whispers of a GRID 2 stretching back to 2010, so an announcement is overdue. But with Codemasters having recently made the shift to a dedicated racing development studio, we wouldn't be surprised to hear something more concrete soon.

I gave up after two days.

I liked the demo, it reminded me of my PGR4 days. Fun but nothing I'd like to race seriously.

People that bought the full PS3 game less than four months ago must feel fantastic now.

Why put such a high price on the original game in the first place and distribute it for free six months after release is beyond me really.

Since becoming a plus subscriber I haven't purchase a ps3 game. They are very generous with their free content. Uncharted 3, far cry 3 to mention just a couple.

F1 Race Stars also came on the plus 4 months after release!

This is just awesome... I bought the game like 2-3 months ago, played approximately 2 hours and got fed up.. paid 50 euros or so for it... :|

what exactly IS this PLUS thing?`do you have to pay a fee or something for that PLUS membership?

 

[Justin Swan]

PlayStation Plus is a premium service at a cost of £40 per year or £12 per quarter. One membership covers you for all PS4, PS3, PS-vita & PSP and offers around £400 per year of free software (Digital versions). You also get discounted prices on STORE items and exclusive content including early beta access to latest games. I personally think it's MORE than worth the £40 premium. This year we've had F1 race stars, Uncharted 3, Far Cry 3, LBP racing just to name a few.

me n a mate were playing it last night.. it was fun BUT I dont think it will last. not a single race without somone forcing you off the track and the cars dont handle like real cars in any way at all. Ok it is fun but its not competitive fun.

Drifting can be fun... but god almighty what were they thinking?
The car is actively trying to kill you, i can't drive it on a G27... having to flashback every other corner is no fun.

Hello,

Im trying to port AgentHeX's cam mods onto the DLC cars by using the games modding support (overwriting files via a mod folder) but every time I run grid 2 i get the message "the mod configuration file does not exist" I have tried the files in multiple locations from the root of the drive to the actual game location and nothing will work.

Any ideas?

 

[Genjuro]

After a bit of mucking around I think the problem is related to steam, i'm guessing a steam free version would run mods fine.

 

[Genjuro]

ok ok got it working.. dunno how tho,

For those still having problems try disabling in-game steam community, turn auto updates off and steam cloud.

Oh and use the launch option on the steam library like this..

-mod ".\Mods\configuration.xml"

obviously put the "mods" folder in the "grid 2" folder
