[DSOG] GRID 2 won’t feature a cockpit view – CM claims that 5% of racing gamers use it

I tell you, this is a bad start for a new racing game. A couple of hours ago we informed you about Codemasters’ upcoming sequel to GRID. Awesome news, right? Well, get ready to be disappointed as Codemasters confirmed that there won’t be any cockpit view in GRID 2. Yeap, a racing game without a cockpit view. What’s also funny is that Codemasters believes that only the 5% of racing gamers use that view while playing their games.

Well there goes that game...

Wow, really?

Considering all the work that's already gone in to the game, would it have really been that much more work?

They will hear the crys of fans and they will bring it when game is released or in a patch.

That's gotta be a joke right? They probably meant 'hood'-view, because that's a view a never use. Even then though, keep it.

Lol if they actually get rid of the cockpit-view, they'll break that game instantly.

If they 'know' that only 5% uses the cockpit view, then they must have those stats from the Multiplayer. There I can believe it, because a rearview gives you a better edge when competing with other players. But when I'm on SP, I want the cockpit view as I'm looking to race.... realistically!!!

I remember that the cockpit view was much more demanding in terms of performance than the rear or standard "front of the car" view in GRID 1, it might be for performance reasons on consoles. Cockpit views are cool but I find them hardly playable most of the time, too much of your view is obstructed, same for rear view, still kinda sucks.

Depends what I'm doing, if I'm playing seriously I don't use cockpit view. If I'm making a video to show off with, I'd use cockpit view as it generally looks much nicer.

I gotta admit I only used the front of the car view, the cockpit view would've been GREAT for arcade though!
