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.

graphics from 2005 + cockpit view would be better graphics than 2012 graphis - cockpitview.

I don't know....They got to get rid of that EGO engine. I liked the Toca engine better

 

[Terry Rock]

One thought: Seriously?
What? Are we twelve.
Do they really expect us to buy this?

 

[Strahil Kotlarov]

If they arent including a cockpit cam,i`m not going to buy it unless there is comunity mod which corrects this feature

 

[AProst]

It could be fun... with a cockpit view. detected

 

[April Dillon]

Honestly, there's something I'd rather have in it than a cockpit view. And that's more realistic levels of grip, cornering speeds and braking points. As right now, that kind of performance is beyond even Formula 1.

Added: 49 minute long developer session at Eurogamer Expo 2012. It covers damage models, a new dynamic track changing system and contains new gameplay footage of the BAC Mono around the Red Bull Ring circuit.

(hi to all, my 1st message here)

May 31st 2013 in UK according to Amazon pre-order

Damn! Thats a long long way away

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Few nice games in between and before you know its May

 

[Leon Charmant]

Don't believe any listed release dates, they're just placeholders. As of yet nobody knows when GRID 2 will be released (that includes Amazon too). For all we know it could be released in April or even September, so until CodeMasters announces anything nothing is official

codemasters designers ****ers! As in DiRT Showdown...

 

[adrian pozuelo ruiz]

Anyway we'll think of something to change the cameras ...

WTCC will be included???

 

[Leon Charmant]

WTCC will be included???

There is no word yet on other car classes or tracks. As soon as more information comes available, I will update we'll let you know

 

[aaee1122]

thank you!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I am not surprised if it will be included. Heard some rumors earlier this year about the WTCC license going to a game developer again. Not sure if that is again SimBin or maybe this time Codemasters.

If they include it into GRID2 I for sure hope they include the full season of cars and tracks and not just a random selection of both.
