Journalist Beats Pro Racer With Grid 2 Developer Advice
Codemasters’ first video in a series of three hyping Grid 2 features a twist – live-action footage of one of the game’s cars in action, as well as Brands Hatch race course.
Automotive journalist Chris Harris, featured in the video, works with the developer to provide insights on vehicle selection for the game, and ensures cars drive realistically.
“I’m thoroughly enjoying working on these videos for Grid 2, and adding a few pointers to help develop the handling on some of the key cars in the game,” says Harris. “It’s a great opportunity to explore the ever-closer relationship between real driving and the virtual world. As someone who spends so much time in the latest supercars, it’s been fascinating seeing the intricacies of the Codemasters development process used to create these virtual machines, and the accuracy of the results is mind-bending.”
Grid 2 has a release window of summer 2013, and will hit Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC. Watch the video below to see Harris, as well as the game, in action.
