Codemasters - Grid 2 - 2013

[ussr]

I can't imagine Nordschleife + Grid 2 driving physics. But heck today even Richard Burns Rally has Nordschleife with gravel so ...

 

[Silver-Sylph]

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

I hope its not like NFS Shift with the oversteer. God that game was awful and i regret buying it.

[MUSC4EVER]

Thats a pretty big and impressive list! 👍

 

[THOMASBARNES]

Are the day versions of the Yas Marina Circuts the Pre Order bonuses

 

[Silver-Sylph]

Hope codemasters dont slack on dlc like they did with Grid 1. They never even released the third pack that was promised.

 

[ItsAllAboutWins]

Nice to see you have to pre order to get brands hatch. They'll probably release it in dlc 1 or 2 since its a popular track

 

[Altier146237]

Currently am on the fence about preordering grid 2. The steam bonuses make me more likely to get it but I can't help but to think about the regional servers on f12012.

 

[VYPA-SQUAD_Ace]

Woah! I expected some tracks, but not 82!

 

[Samus]

82 layouts, only 14 locations which isn't many.

 

[Speedster911]

I wonder..

If GRID's ever going down the pure sim route...

If only....

 

[Youngun]

The car list i found was pretty small, how many cars are in the game officailly?

Still on the fence about preordering (just like injustice but picked that up for £20 recently)

 

[MagpieRacer]

So theres only 4 circuits? Brands, Red Bull, Algarve and Indy?

Sod that.

 

[Pagey279]

No destruction derby?

That's what made the first game so good for me.

 

[wicken]

So theres only 4 circuits? Brands, Red Bull, Algarve and Indy?

Sod that.

Don't forget Yas Marina.

Grid 2's Full Track Roster Revealed

Now I wished I'd posted about the tracks when I learned about them on the 16th - which means I could have beaten the legendary Ddrizle in posting something new

 

[Mr Latte]

Not sure if this video was posted before guys...

Vesaro top end rig with 46" displays and d-box motion.


I think this game has a chance of being very enthralling with superb graphics, narrow city/forest/mountain circuits for a great sense of speed. It certainly looks to test the reflexes.

Could be flawed in various ways, well it is Codemasters so that is almost a certainty (hides). I think if looked upon as an entertaining arcade racer rather than through sim spectacles then it may just be pretty damn good for what it is.


Got mine on order for £22 so really not gonna complain if it is above average.
Can't wait to one day play it on 3 big screens like that hopefully with graphics maxed out.

For all the moaners. I have to say it is games like this and companies like Codemasters that was my desire to get back into PC again to enjoy such games in a way not possible on consoles. 👍

Never

[Samus]

That just confirms that in terms of unique tracks it's lacking quite a bit. Two of those Barcelona layouts are nearly the same, High Street and Fountain Loop.

Hold up, don't forget your thinking hat!
You buy the game now and then get the opportunity to buy the rest of it later.

D+L+C = TRACKPACK?

 

[MXH]

I hope its not like NFS Shift with the oversteer. God that game was awful and i regret buying it.

Take away the F from SHIFT and you get an exact description of the game. However, this doesn't look anywhere that garbage.

Loore, the community manager at CM's forums, has hinted at several DLC packs containing cars and tracks, if I recall correctly. Just wait for the GOTY/Complete Edition/Whatever Edition.

 

[Silver-Sylph]

As much as i loved Grid one im willing to support Grid 2 with its DLC. I want to see at least one console racing game with Mid-Ohio on its tracklist.

"Super Modified Car Pack"? A quick search for that brings up this:

Oh God please

 

[Samus]

I highly doubt it, they'll just be heavily modified road cars/supercars I'm sure.

 

[fatkrakr]

Looks like the dlc content list will be bigger than the game content list. I like the part about some of the dlc being on the release disc. Its just the ground work for future dlc.

 

[Fryto]

GT3 cars suped up to 1000 bhp if I remember that developer vid correctly...

That's like the Dallenbach CM had in Dirt 2...

 

[RACECAR]

First up, you may have seen that there are a number of GRID 2 pre-order bonuses available. These will make up part of the first wave of DLC and they will all be available separately once GRID 2 has launched. Following this, we will be looking to release fresh new content each month and you can expect the first pack to be released towards the end of June, all things going to plan (note: this is a plan that is ultimately subject to change based on a number of factors, as is the way in games development).

Does this mean that all those pre-order bonuses will basically be available to buy themselves seperately?
