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.

I have GRID 1 and I didn't play oit much when it came out, but then I didn't play it at all after I separated my G25 pedals with the bodnar cable.

Now I have a 50% off coupon for all codemaster games from Steam, but the only game that even remotely may interest me is GRID 2. However, even at half price I don't want to buy it if my setup won;t work on it.

If someone could clear up this for me I'd be very grateful. Thank you.

GRID2 is not even remotely meant to be played with a wheel, Corrado. A gamepad is perfectly fine but playing it with a wheel won't work properly.

GRID2 is much like Need for Speed. A bad clone but yeah, still a lot like Need for Speed.

What do you mean by "won't work properly"?
I use G27 and it works just fine.
Grid 2 has a variety of wheels supported.
Don't mislead other people.

HKZonda - is a good example of G25 in action.
You can check out his videos here.

Not sure about separated pedals, Corrado.

Thanks for the replays. I realize GRID is not a sim and it may be optimized for a controller more than for wheel use, but even the original worked OK (no better than OK) with a wheel. The only problem is that when I detached the pedals from my G25 there was no way to use the pedals any longer and I was not about to reconfigure my setup just for a game that is at best something I would play out of boredom.

I guess my question would be better formulated as "Does Grid2 allow multiple controllers" The problem with Grid 1 was that it recognized only one controller. If grid2 recognises more than one then it should be fine.

Well, let me rephrase that: GRID2 isn't worth playing with a wheel. It's not a sim.

I'm in a dilemma.

Hey Op yes grid 2 does support multiple controllers i have my wheel pedals 2 shifters and a buttonbox all on seperate usbs and works fine..
Also game works pretty good with a wheel for me i cant imagine playing with a gamepad,,not trying to say it feels realistic at all just that if i had to use a gamepad i would not bother

I got it with my 50% off coupon, but I've only had time to play it for an half hour the other day.

I'm under the same situation... might lean towards Dirt 3 however.

Hi,

Thinking about getting Grid 2 on the PC and was wondering what it like.
I have played it on the Xbox 360.

I am more concerned about cheaters.

 

[Dux]

i had the game and deleted cause no on board camera ... and could be easily driven on keyboard than on wheel

Hi,

Are RD members on the PC still playing Grid 2?

 

[Gaz]

Just got Grid 2, haven't played it yet and just linked my Steam account with Racenet.

RD: Garry Pullen
Steam: Big-Gaz
Racenet: BigGazPC

 

[Gaz]

Will be putting some Grid 2 PC events up in the racing club in the next few days.

 

[Gaz]

Is there a template for Grid 2 events, that I can use for PC events?

Did someone can make replay like TV live??
Like F1 2013, like Test Drive Ferrari, like WRC 3.
Thanks to all.

 

[ferrarinews]

So, nobody can do this simple type of replay??
I buy the game, but unitl I have decent replay I don't play anymore.

First of all your are posting this in the wrong section (should be a modding request) and secondly if it were all that simple to create things like this nobody stops you to make it yourself of course
