GRID 2... Please.... mygod please....
T_T
This season should be very exciting, hopefully Ferrari get's some better luck :o+2 :cool:
So yeah, definitely GRID 2 would be awseomesauce. I understand about doing a new game every season for the F1, but frankly, I feel this should appeal to a narrower bunch than a game like GRID. Plus, every year? Seriously? They aren't going to sell millions of those. I have F1 2011, I guess it's good if you are really into F1, but it's both too difficult and narrow in terms of gameplay for casual racers.
And someone else made a valid point about the season being almost over. I think the real F1 fans would want to race the cars on the track of the next upcoming track in the actual F1 season, but what good when the game is released near the end of it? They can drive on the track in the game, but with last year's cars... :ohwell:
I'm not sure I like it, Codemasters...
I got 2010 and it was a broken bag of fail.
releasing a game yearly is an excuse not to fix game breaking issues with the game and they know it.
they should have released a game and given it regular and healthy seasonal updates. this model would attract more longterm players and community development
the textures and scenery were poorer in every way, the only thing i was improvement on playing both games back to back was the car models
