The changes they state sound promising (linky to codies post), but after Grid 2 I am just going to remain cautious about it and see how it turns out. Maybe pick it up down the line after I've seen reviews and impressions of it, part of me still regrets buying grid 2 at release tbh :\ It had it's fun moments, especially with others on mp, but yeah.

We might have to wait 19,000 years for Codemasters to make another decent racing game but I'd hope for it a little sooner than that

Good news on cockpit views.

LOL just bring back TOCA or a new BMX Simulator! Guess they want another game out of their engine before they rehaul it for current gen...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Someone on gaf who appears to work for codies did say this about the new consoles, "Next-gen GRID will come in time, we're not going to rush that and get a game that can only run at 720/30 or something similar, next gen has to look and feel like 'next gen' for us."

Ohh now that's a game I put some hours into.. would be nice

Pleased they have put more realistic handling in rather than the slipply slidy affair that was grid 2, F1 2013 had very robust and enjoyable handling so hopefully G will emulate this.

baldmonk · 23 Apr 2014 at 00:55

ill be keeping a eye out for some reviews and praying its way better than 2 and hopefully better than 1

Hopefully this will make my summer! Well this and Watchdogs!

It has been noticable in recent years that racing games all seem to have moved towards the whole "throw you into a race a few places down, and give you 5 laps to win it" model.

Playing F1 2013 recently has made me realise how much I missed having a genuine racing experience, with decent lengths of racing.

If, by 'going back to TOCA', they're talking about the really old touring car sims, then that sounds very promising. If that hilarious Volvo estate touring car makes an appearance, then I'm definitely buying!

I liked the first Grid was really good. Didn't think much of number 2. Would love to see an old Toca racing game again, Was a great game at the time.

Will get this cheap on PC.

There are 2 in car views this time codies have announced

Skeeter · 28 Apr 2014 at 21:26

Looks like the original GRID engine, and tracks. Infact the colours of the rivals is even the same black on grey as GRID.

So this looks like a sort of remake come rehash of GRID using the old engine on old hardware? So basically, GRID, but without broken MP?

Fine by me!

Most of it is new apparently, lots of new tracks and content.

A move back to a more TOCA experience would be welcomed by all I think.

Haha didn't notice that! More TOCAesque is what Codies seem to be touting, more authentic race series and more real tracks.
