Going back to the roots. Going back to the old engine. Going back to old consoles.

Ravenwest is coming back? That's awesome!

Also, it seems like there are more proper circuits compared to the street tracks in Grid 2. I really, really hope this is the case, cause I stopped playing Grid 2 after the fourth season because of an overabundance of city street tracks. Oh, and the glaring omission of Le Mans was not great, either.

It was a shame, really because everything else about that game was fantastic

With the return of cockpit view and leaning more towards the sim side means I'll likely pick this up.

Yeah, that was such a weird omission from GRID 2, considering it was pretty much the selling point of the first game. Fans hacked it in after a while, making the game playable, but it was still weird not to have it there officially, and they never officially patched it back in.

Too bad they're not aiming at this gen's hardware. Guess we have to wait for another Dirt for that to happen?

This just looks like more of the last Grid, which I couldn't finish.

I actually enjoyed the racing in Grid 2, however the progression was poorly thought out. I am happy to see more of it.

Well, they played this card before with Dirt Showdown and it unfortunately didn't work out but with the reception to GRID 2, here's hoping they can pull it off.

Seems like they noticed that a racing game without a cockpit view is really fuckin' weird.

Really, really liked the first GRID game (especially all the weird little things like doing liveries, picking sponsors and team-mates) so this has be all sorts of intrigued.

The fist GRiD was a lot of fun. GRiD 2, not so much. The career mode was boring, and the races were not as thrilling IMO. Also, waiting for the load times, and navigating those menus, you'll need a good book to pass the time.

Sadly it may never happen.

I don't care about the cockpit view but I hope they won't force you to put decals all over your cars this time. I usually use stock paints no decals until I get to the high race car tiers.

Unless there is a MAJOR departure from GRID2, I can't see myself spending anything less that Steam Summer Sale prices on another GRID game; and even then, that's a tough sell.

I actually had a lot of fun with Grid 2; guess that makes me odd man out (most users on the Steam page HATED it). It was weird that you would choose a race to get a car and think it was a one way thing, only to just have the game make other races available to win the cars anyway. Kind of a tension breaker...

Regardless, I'm looking forward to the new one.
