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 was going to write something sarcastic about the cockpit cam. Although I'm sure people have had enough of the digs about it by now. So this is why you are reading this edited version.

Are you serious? It's from Daytona dude!

hell yeah great game.

stop the moan about cockpit view, im sure a mod wil be out there, but its a game not a sim, lets get that right.

can't wait for it.

 

[Diego Lopez]

Sorry for the double post, but doesnt the shading and post processing look almost similar to DiRT 3? (it does if you have the Japan/Monaco expansions) if so, then it just got even better.

 

[Predrag Drobac]

Looks like a placeholder physics. But something must be sacrificed.

 

[Randy Chamberlin]

Diego hit it right. "its a game,not a sim". Ive had some fun with original.

It's a little bit early to talk, but it looks worse than Grid. Cars are going strange, slidey slideys

I was just thinking the same thing as Omer. Maybe it's on purpose, but I never could get a grip on Grid 1's physics using a Fanatec GT2 at the time. I'll buy it and take a chance. I always do.

 

[AxLNo1]

I don't see any graphical improvement... maybe it's just me, maybe it's because the same consoles holding it back now. That would be sad.
As for handling, it was not bad in the first game, so I hope they don't make it any worse than that.

 

[Haikkonen]

No cockpit view. I'm not going to buy it.

 

[InsaneOzzie]

Grid was ok if you liked arcade style car thrashing, not my scene.
Doesnt look like Grid2 is going to be any different, IMO the only improvement from Grid to Grid2 is the graphics.

Cant see myself purchasing this, but I'll wait for the Demo before passing final judgement
