GRID Legends Story Mode Gameplay Trailer Released


Leading up to a February release, Codemasters has released another trailer, this time featuring gameplay from the story mode.

GRID Legends is scheduled to be released on February 25th, and Codemasters is offering the public an advanced look at gameplay from the story mode.

GRID Legends will offer players the chance to play the Driven to Glory story mode, which puts you in the role of Driver 22, who signs on as the second driver for the Seneca Racing team. You'll need to build your reputation by performing well on track. The plot is described as a "classic underdog tale".

This plot seems quite close to the story offered in F1 2021's Braking Point, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, since Braking Point was a highlight of last year's F1 game.

The most recent preview offered by Codemasters shows how the actors playing the central characters in the story will be shown in mixed reality cutscenes rather than animation. Much of the story seems to focus around the paddock and offices of the Seneca racing team, which should be a great way for players to immerse themselves in the many facets of auto racing.

There is also a lot of gameplay shown, which seems similar to the previous GRID installment. The racing action seems to favour high amounts of action rather than a pure focus on realism, which is an approach that should appease the existing fanbase for the series.

So, I take it that I am one of the only ones who wasn't put off by the story's premise. I've played racing games where the story was straight off a manga page, and that provided enough of an escape to get into the game. This story is interesting enough to see how it all plays out. If the game is decent enough, I'll give it a shot.

At 11:39 - 11:42 in the video, did the developers script a tire blowout? It looked more like the player used a red tortoise shell, or something? Blow outs happen, but that looked a little too convenient.

Not all to do with color and gender, more the obvious unrealistic political agenda being pushed in our faces to submit to an unrealistic PR Marxist campaign. Similar to Battlefield V WW2 with women on the front line. Another propaganda lie. Wake up! Bought and paid for by the CCP to divide our societies.
What makes you think that the CCP pays for women and people of color being added to video games?
And what does Marxism have to do with the CCP?
