Overview
Developed by Codemasters Southam based in the United Kingdom, GRID 2 is the sequel to the "reboot" of the TOCA Race Driver series, GRID. GRID 2 employs the EGO 3.0 engine, the same engine in the previous Codemaster game Dirt 3 and features a new handling system 'TrueFeel', which tries to improve the balance in racing games between accessibility and realism.
GRID 2 will have races in a variety of locals influenced by the Formula 1 calender such as Abu Dhabi, Chicago, the California Coast and Paris. There will also be no Cockpit mode in GRID 2.
TrueFeel
TrueFeel aims to create a balance between accessibility of arcade racing games with the realism of simulation racing games, and Codemaster does this by collecting around 75 sets of technical data per-vehicle. The aim is to create a racing game that's handling can be learned within a few laps but offers depth past those first races after that.
Multiplayer
GRID 2 will over a customization multiplayer progression system powered by RaceNet. By competing with rivals and completing objectives GRID 2 will reward the player for their progress similar to Call of Duty Modern Warfare progression system. GRID 2 multiplayer will also feature fully customizable championships and a dynamic ranking system.
The Cars
GRID 2 will have around 70 cars.
