Codemasters - Grid 2 - 2013

[Brend]

Just watched the latest video of the Indy GP circuit gameplay, that Caterham looks like smashing fun.

DAMMIT GUYS! Stop making me want it! I DO want it, but I DON'T support money grubbing.

If you will, would someone tell me how many pre-order packs are built into the game, and when the others will be released as DLC?

Don't quote me on this, but I think 3 are going to be day 1 DLC. GameStop, Best Buy, and Amazon. No telling when the others will be released.

I'm getting 2 of 3. Gotta love friends who want the game more badly than you. Lol.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Since when were pre-order bonuses offered as DLC? I've never heard of such a thing.

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

It might have been Shift or Shift 2. I'm not sure though.

I feel like that is more of an EA and cawl of doty thing. I heard EA is going to release DLC The Game this year though.

As far as I know, the pre-order packs were region specific, meaning Europe has one, Asia has another one, and NA gets a third, without an opportunity to get all of them at release. That's why I was asking.

Yes, it is more EA than anyone else, but I don't like what I'm seeing for GRID 2. Then again I could very well be completely off base, but it's how I've interpreted the articles I've read so far.

Most game shops in the UK tend to stock special editions of games instead of the normal version I know because I have a few special editions and I've never preordered anything

They do that here in the US too. I think most of mine were EA games.

I actually bought the special edition version of DiRT Showdown off the shelf without preordering it from GAME so I would think they will do the same with Grid 2

I can understand your reasons for not purchasing, but I think you should seriously consider buying. I mean among all the other things that makes this game a possible cracker, imagine a GTP race series...

So I've had little time to worry about video games in the past 2 months, so could you guys kind of bring me up to speed on this? Just really short and sweet. Maybe preorder bonuses, special, features... Anything?

Just watched TeamVVV's PS3 GRID2 gameplay and I'm blown away, not by how ''the on-track racing a truly mind-blowingly immersive experience'' as Clive put it, but rather by the head-aching screen-tear and FPS-drops.

Understandably, the consoles are old, but this really makes me reconsider picking up a ''Complete Edition'' down the line.

the head-aching screen-tear and FPS-drops

If that's the case it is a NO buy for me. Ever.
I'm not gonna pay for bad frame rates racing games.

 

[Silver-Sylph]

I haven't seen any screen tearing from any gameplay videos.

 

[boomee]

neither have I

 

[dr_slump]

Perhaps it was just poor video recording quality?

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Or it was running on a high-spec PC?

How does this explain a bad quality?

 

[The Stig Farmer]

Urgh

 

[MXH]

It is mostly noticeable during A1-Ring, drifting and Dubai. Alan himself mentions it during the video.

 

[Fryto]

Looks like it's not using much of the steering wheel range :s . Just like in Dirt 3 there's not much wheel movement needed to take a turn...

Ugly physics even for an arcade.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

My thoughts on that video...

Dubai looks absolutley stunning!

Its good that theyve got more realistic damage like punctures and engine problems.

It looks like the Veyron is floating!!

 

[BubbleBelly542]

Absolutely disgusting physics. But I can't deny that I want to play it because it's going to be exciting racing, though extremely unrealistic.

Simulators spoiled arcade racers for me, I cannot longer have fun when I can't "feel" the car properly.
But I'm not asking iRacing / rFactor 2 / Assetto Corsa physics
just something less crappy than what I'm seeing in the videos.
I really can't feel immersion when driving on a licensed track with licensed cars and physics like that.

Idea for Codemasters: just quit licensed content and create futuristic racers. Rollcage anyone?

I'm more impressed the more I see.

What the deal with these Raptors? Are they just AI vehicles? It'd be cool if you could use them...

 

[KinLM]

Pretty awful physics, the guy driving drives worse than my 80 year old grandmother, and he also doesn't know the difference between a McLaren MP4-12C and a McLaren F1 GTR.

EDIT: Aimed at video a few posts back. Not for the one directly above.
