GRID 2: “Titles Like Gran Turismo Have Different Goals”, No Cockpit View “Was the Best Choice”

"Continuing our interview with GRID 2 producer Iain Smith, we asked him about the realism of the upcoming racer, and how it was set apart from the likes of Gran Turismo and Need for Speed Most Wanted. Smith stated that, “Firstly, I think titles like Gran Turismo are setting out with different goals to ours. With GRID 2, the intention is to bring the sense of drama, tension and speed of racing to the player. We try to evoke this by any means possible in the game."

Best choice to save money during development

decrypt4017d ago

They confirmed it before, it was a sacrifice made due to console limitations.

piroh4017d ago (Edited 4017d ago )

GT5

http://playeject.com/wp-con...

why are you so angry? what have consoles done to you?

Crazyglues4017d ago (Edited 4017d ago )

@ decrypt

No decrypt, these guys are full of sh^t first they said it was because no one was using it from what their online data showed...

Then when that pissed all the true fans of the game off, they changed it to this bullsh^t

Console Limitations... - A.k.a - Lazy ass developers cutting corners because they just want to get something out quick to make a fast buck.... and cockpit view would take too much work and effort...

Please console limitations my ass, why does GT5 a game that looks ten times better then this have cockpit view, why does Dirt 3, F1 2012, all have cockpit view...

I'll tell you why, because they didn't half a$$ their game to make a quick buck off of gamers...

Do yourself a favor and keep your eye out for Project C.A.R.S that's a game that will actually be worth your money..

No Cockpit view = RC car sim

There's a reason why the first person mod on GTA IV makes the game 10x more immersive just by changing the camera position.

ExitToExisT4017d ago

I'll not buy this game because they didnt include cockpit view. Best choice indeed.

MadLad4017d ago (Edited 4017d ago )

With or without cockpit view, the original GRID was easily one of the best racers of the last several years.
GRID 2, if it is of the same consistent quality, will be a fantastic game and I'm not going to whine over the lack of cockpit view.
Though I do understand that is an important feature for some.

CommonSenseGamer4017d ago

I'm with you on that one. If it were a simulator then I could understand the moaning re: lack of cockpit view. This is a definite must buy for me but will wait to see which console version performs and looks better. GRID was great but some screen tearing and jaggies tarnished the overall experience for me.

NastyLeftHook04017d ago

gran turismos goal has been to always be the best racing sim, and it always succeeds , grid is an incredibility fun racer with its different style of gameplay, i cant see them making a sim. but if they want to, more power to them, ill check it out

Tony-Red-Grave4017d ago

"Gran Turismos' goal has been to always be the best DRIVING sim"

just thought i'd correct that one piece of information. someone can correct me if i'm wrong but GT is a driving sim not a racing sim, like forza, there's a difference.

i hope it didn't come out wrong in that GT can't do racing sim because that's not what i'm saying and i really don't mean to say it

GamersRulz4017d ago

what are the differences between driving sim and racing sim?

FlameBaitGod4017d ago

That racing sim are cars with stickers and paint jobs bro..... /s

xg4017d ago

Drama in a race game . that's unique , improvements like this one are good .
the game seems realistic .
waiting for the 31st pf May .

I was literally about to buy this, mental!

Marcello1709d ago

Well you only had 6 years. Where you been ? on the bog ?

CaptainCook1709d ago

At least you can get the physical version

Lon3wolf1709d ago

Shame, they were giving it away on PC for free recently, that's how I got mine :)

darthv721709d ago

I already have it on disc for 360 so you can still get on physical but those who didnt get on digital... you snooze you lose.

Lon3wolf1709d ago

Indeed and if you are a PC gamer they were giving it away free recently so no excuse :D

Goldenhawk5211709d ago (Edited 1709d ago )

Ugh, damn glad I bought that game with all the dlc when it was on sale. I almost didn't buy it. At least give us a heads up before removing the game? I can't just add to cart because I currently feel like playing the game at the time. Now I add to cart from the fear of it being d-listed without notice. Just like ACIII and TDU 2. I had Alpha Protocol on my wishlist and then that suddenly got removed silently and now it's too late!

The original is better; but grab it nonetheless.

Marcello1791d ago (Edited 1791d ago )

Last chance to get it, from next week it will be gone from steam store for good.

Gwiz1791d ago

Nice,why is it leaving Steam?

Sgt_Slaughter1791d ago

@Gwiz I'd have to assume this is due to licensing issues, since there's so many cars.

darthv721791d ago

I have both on 360, really good racers. So yeah... get it on steam while you can.

Razzer1791d ago

Stuff like this is why I love PC gaming.

FinalFantasyFanatic1791d ago

Great game, but I can only play if for 5 minutes before it crashes and I have to boot the game again. It's a widely known issue on Windows 10 with no fix and no expected update for it either.
