Codemasters is taking the TOCA Race Driver series to a whole new level, officially announcing GRID (Race Driver: GRID to our PAL friends), the driving game formerly known as Race Driver One. Running on the next iteration of their DiRT engine, the game promises to be something more than your standard current-gen driving game.
Says Ralph Fulton, Chief Game Designer. "GRID focuses on everything that happens between the start grid and the chequered flag: the drama, the rivalries, the aggression and the crashes. This is not a game about collecting cars or spending all of your time in the front-end tuning suspension settings or designing liveries. We want to make racing exciting again."
GRID takes place across three continents, with official track races in Europe, street races in the U.S., and night races through the streets and mountain roads of Japan. It sounds almost like three racing games in one, which is completely fine with me. GRID is due mid 2008 for the 360, PS3, and Windows PC.
