Codemaster is trying to squeeze whatever performance they can out of outdated current generation consoles. The cockpit cam eats up way too much processing power and is used far too little to justify keeping it at the expense of the rest of the game.

If the cars in the original GRID handled like the cars in Dirt 3, GRID would still be the best racing game ever made. This should be awesome. A little bummed about the lack of a cockpit view because I have a racing wheel and that is the best way to maximize the experience.

I was excited to read the news about Grid 2, until I read this bit.... it could well be a deal-breaker for me! I don't know just how "bonnet" the bonnet cam is going to be, but if I can't get a sense of the space my car is occupying, I won't be buying. I'm still looking for the next-gen successor to TOCA 3, and thought this *could* be it... not now TOCA 3 had what I'd call a windshield cam sold me that I was in the car and had enough of a spatial reference to sell the driving experience.

This is not news I like, but I'll be okay about it if Codemasters include a low bonnet/bumper cam that can be used as somewhat of a replacement view.

I like the cockpit view in racing games and I usually use it in my single player portion of racing games. However when racing online I find that I race much faster and cleaner when using the Hood view. As long as Grid 2 offers that I'll be ok with it.

Hood cam is just fine. They said 5%of the people used cockpit view. Not worth the time effort for 5% of game sales.
