Codemasters - Grid 2 - 2013

[Samus]

Also as by pre-ordering online you more often than not ensure you get a copy on release day delivered to your door. It's always been convenience for me, nothing more.

This thread has been completly derailed by pre orders. If i choose to support the developer than that is my choice end of story.

It's pretty ironic the person who told us not to pre-order games because it hurts the industry is someone who on numerous occasions has admitted to pirating games, even in this thread.

 

[MUSC4EVER]

So my little post yesterday sparked quite a big debate on pre-orders that lasted the night?!

 

[ussr]

One day you will pre order video game because it's going to be fake hype created around it. And then it turns out to be total piece of garbage not worth of your time. You will remember this debate here and now.

Only it's going to be late.

You're such a drama queen.

Let people spend their money how they wish and please take of your crown and give it a rest.

Ussr, you need to calm down a little, you making sound like pre-ordering a game is the worst thing ever!...

 

[Samus]

Bless him, he's getting restless still waiting for Sony to announce the PS4.

I thought I'd just throw the thoughts of TotalBiscuit in here. Not saying I agree or disagree, but just throwing in food for thought and discussion.

You can't 'see' what the handling physics are like.... you don't 'see' what the input is. It needs to be experienced. You also mentioned rFactor, Project CARS, Assetto Corsa and GT6. I'm also looking forward to these..... but they are completely different from Grid 2. They're racing simulators.

.

I feel you just shot yourself in the foot with this comment. True we don't know what the handling physics will be like until we try them. You know it would be good if we had lets say a DEMO. But no codies expect me to shell out £40 to find I don't like it.

And the PR crap about how hard it is to make a demo. Like another member on here already said why so many demo builds for the press? Surely they also took time away for game development.

I've never bought a game I didn't like. I don't mean to be arrogant, but I have full confidence in what I feel is a good game or not.

Funny, that was just posted yesterday.

I'm going to bring this up from a couple pages back:

anim8r_uk you seriously need to ask yourself if it's all user's fault if we are going that way. Codemasters showed I don't know how many GRID 2 gameplay and I am NOT impressed at all. The internet gave users the chance to see stuff before buying it. Some people thinks there are much better products in the market than GRID 2, and they are looking forward to buying them Day One full price.

Is that a problem? Just because we like a game you don't?

I'm going to have ti break this next part into pieces.

Seriosusly we are in 2013 you removed interior views, the physics looks substandard even for an arcade,

How are you even saying this? I can understand that it's substandard for a simulator, but an arcade? I don't see what so ever how it goes under the arcade title in the first place.

how the hell in the World can you expect we all wanting to buy GRID 2 day1 full price when rFactor 2, Project CARS, Assetto Corsa, GT6 are being developed in a total different way?

Once again, is that a problem? Their game, I don't see why it has to be made like any other game. It is after all, a different game. It doesn't have to be like other games just because you like those more.

I see a lot of talk about preordering and not buying the game. Why not just rent it from your local movie rental place or game fly? That's what we used to do back in the SNES/SEGA/N64 days. I remember pre ordering games from chips n bits that was in GamePro magazines and if it wasn't good, I sold it to a friend that liked the game. Unless it was really bad, then I just kept it in my collection. Now days you can trade them in for store credit towards something else, or buy used and return it in 7 days if you don't like it. I think this has spoiled the majority of people. Companies made crappy games in the 80's and 90's just like they do today and with the addition of GameStop. You can actually gain money back where we used to not have an option like that. We didn't work any less harder for those 49.99 games, and if anything, we worked harder. Minimum wage used to be lower then what it is today. Some people need to get off their high horse and face reality that not everyone gets a trophy, even if they lose.

With that being said, I can't wait for grid 2. I was a huge fan of the first. The threat of totaling a vehicle at every bend or passing another car will get your blood pumping. For what Grid 2 is designed to be, you won't go wrong if you like arcade style racers.

Rental stores are few and far between here. Redbox is the order of the day, and if they ever stock it as opposed to the thousand samey shooters I'll be surprised. Everyone has their own preferences, but a lot of people don't get that and think thier way is best and others must follow or be stupid.

 

[wicken]

A very interesting read about most of the Grid 2 topics that we have been discussing in the past few days, that includes: costumization, the large discussion about arcade and simulation, vehicles tier and upgrades, single player and multi player and some other things..all of them answered by the devs.

Not an option in some areas, unfortunately.

My pardon for a double post, must have missed it. Feel free to ignore my post.


@all:
Let's hope the game will be enjoyable for everyone that enjoys a game of this style.
To those who are not getting what they hoped for, just don't buy it and vote with your wallet. This is the only way as Codemasters only develops games behind closed doors and don't allow direct involvement as Slightly Mad Studios does with their WMD development model.
Apart from that, I am sure there will be games coming that are more realistic for those who wish for such a game. So let's not ruin the happy mood in here too much for those who do look forward to this game, and also enjoy chatting about it here in this thread with like minded people.

I just looked over the track and car list. I'm kind of unsettled to not see Long Beach Classic, Washington Sprint, San Francisco, Nurburgring GP. That's just the ones I liked in the eBay class. Uh oh.

 

[Froudeybrand]

the website is useless, tried to see some info about possible cars and or tracks

That's as of last month. Nurburgring is gonna be in either the 2nd or 3rd DLC pack.

I see. Thanks for that! I think every race game comes with Nurburgring now days lol

Lol, no problem. I didn't realize a KTM X-BOW was gonna be in the game. I'm happy now. But what I wanna know what's gonna be in the DLC packs.

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

Probably 2-4 cars and 1-2 tracks per dlc. That's a pretty small car list to start with.

I thought it was pretty decent for the small list of tracks that's listed.

 

[tattz83]

you would think with the amount of time they spend on games like this an they only release a hand full of decent dlc cars.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Codemasters is a pretty small developer. They usually cycle teams through their Dirt, Grid and Formula 1 franchises.

Around the world, Codemasters employs over 500 people in development and publishing. We have two development studios in the UK– one at our Warwickshire HQ with a further site in Birmingham. An additional art studio is based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

I wouldn't class that as "pretty small" personally.

How are you even saying this? I can understand that it's substandard for a simulator, but an arcade? I don't see what so ever how it goes under the arcade title in the first place.

Yes it looks substandard even for an arcade.
This is Project Gotham Racing 4 and the physics looks better.

I don't bother commenting the rest of your post.

Developers complaining people for not preordering their games.
Make better games, more people will preorder them.

 

[Samus]

But how can it look substandard for arcade? It's just a rather meaningless tag for a game but are you going to create a third tag then, if it's not arcade?

Yes the physics are probably better in PGR4 (I've played that, not GRID 2) but it's still an arcade game.

I'm just saying there are arcade games with crappy physics and arcade games with decent physics.

The physics of GRID2 - as much as it tends to oversteer - looks fine for an arcade game.
