Grid 2

Zero-Cool

This is looking more and more like a day one purchase.

EDIT: Also, this is on the playstation store for digital preorder for 49.99 euro and includes 3 preorder dlc packs.

10 facts about Grid 2 on Gamesradar. The AI and Handling system sounds impressive and the theory of if you like to just bash your way around a course, you will most likely be paired up with other aggressive drivers leaving clean drivers matched with their own kind online.

with the changing track races I wonder will it be a surprise to the AI too? Or will they be able to race through the course knowing what corners are coming up?

Would there be much interest in a racing league of sorts after release? (though collisions would have to be watched Scrapes happen, but we don't want every race to be a turn one destruction derby!)

Very excited about Grid 2. Destruction Derby better feature! Grid was an amazing game - went back and played it after I saw the Announcement Trailer and it's still fun.

Destruction derby!, now theres a franchise that could do with a reboot next gen. Still got my original ps1 copy.

Yeah destruction derby is fun, but you know what would make it real fun ?, cockpit view!
you want first person immersion in a game like this, so when a car rams into your right door at 80mph, its a surprise!, BAMB!. 3rd person view is too tactical.

A racing league would be class. Wonder if there are online clubs? Also good point about ai knowing on the fly corners. That random corner generator is meant only for human players but I read if you cant get 12 players in a race, the ai fills up the rest of the spaces. 12 players on a random corner course could be a great laugh.

looking forward to this.. looks good.. also seems codemasters have put a lot into the multiplayer..

OK, hands down best collectors edition of all time! Only costs £125,000. I might have to trade in a few games against it.

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce the GRID 2 Mono Edition, which includes, for one lucky gamer, the following:

• A copy of GRID 2 for PlayStation 3 including bespoke artwork
• An actual 170 mph BAC Mono supercar in exclusive GRID 2 livery
• A day at the BAC factory, including a factory tour and time spent with technicians to customise the BAC Mono for size and specifications
• A GRID 2: Mono Edition-branded Bell Racing helmet
• Race suit, boots and gloves, all made to measure in BAC Mono and GRID 2 branding
• A PlayStation 3
• Did we say AN ACTUAL BAC Mono supercar? Yeah, one of them.

How much will Gamestop give me for Grid 1 and Tiger Woods 09? That should cover it right?

Zero-Cool

Just preordered with Gamesnash, I didn't like the colour of the Bac Mono in the collectors edition :cool:

Mad to give this a go. 1 week to go!

Here is a look at how the online works

I see there are a number of pre-order packs but are any of them available from bricks and mortar outlets here?

Just preordered with Gamesnash. Should have it playing by thursday night

It will keep me goin til Last of Us comes out anywat

Got this lame response from Gamestop in an email

Hi,



We may not have been given the content as other countries may have gotten this or it may not have been available in Ireland. Different factors like that can influence what extra content we may be able to get for games before release.




I will say however that our prices at present may not be our final prices and can change before or on release of the game.


they better had at 55 euro with no DLC !

Zero-Cool

Jaysus man Gamesnash selling it for 47.99 and no bollix acting.

Yeah i saw that but they have no free dlc copies either !Gamestop should sell it at that price too considering packs range from 400 ms to 560 points each , i dont understand how the US and UK have free dlc on offer and we dont get it over here ?

Zero-Cool

Yeah, I think the main reason anyone buys at Gamestop is because they secure all the preorder DLC packs so it's crap when they can't deliver on one. The digital copy on PSN is 50 euro and includes all 3 DLC packs.

That's underwhelming given how universally acclaimed the first one was (and I personally loved it)

I've read that Grid 2 will be bundled with the next-gen Haswell K processors so maybe hold off on pre-ordering if you're planning on upgrading your CPU to one of those

I wouldnt say underwhelming at all - 8/9's out of 10, 85%+, 4/5......as far as racing games go, thats great, especially when it has to compete with the Gran Turismos and Forzas

The touble is that a lot of Grid 1's features and the feel of it have been copied by other games since so it will be hard to impress us like they did with Grid 1.

Multiplayer should be fun though, a bunch of us have been playing Grid 1 via tunngle recently and it's good fun so we have high hopes for Grid 2 and proper multiplayer
