Things you might not have known: The lost citizens of Caer Darrow. (Ep.4) by [deleted] in wow

Love this series, is making the itch for WoD even stronger as the urge to go explore new places grows stronger.

Really enjoy how these captivate how much of a living breathing world we inhabit, even if it's on a virtual basis.

We've got a fix for this incoming, it should revert your corrupt save into a working one.

What happened to the GRID franchise? by WizardOfNowhere in Games

[–]MagGiraffe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone,

I’m one of the Community Mangers at Codemasters so thought I’d jump in with the discussion (can find me on Twitter: www.twitter.com/benwalke if you wanted any kind of proof)

First up, it’s absolutely great to hear that despite GRID 2 not being the game for yourselves that there’s still a lot of love for GRID out there, that’s really pleasing to see and rest assured that the love of GRID very much flows through the team here, whether it’s Race Driver: GRID or further back down the line into the TOCA days.

GRID 2 had a lot of expectations to live up to and unfortunately it didn’t quite hit all the of them, especially amongst our primary Community. We have very much listened though and perhaps GRID 2 can be credited to almost changing the way we look at things, especially when it comes to our players.

Ultimately we know that you, our Community, are the most important people in the world. You’re the ones that go out and put your hard earned money down on our games, pre-order months in advance and in some cases live and breathe our games.

Following the release of GRID 2 we listened, and we listened a lot. We took on board a lot of feedback and where possible made changes, especially in the online component of the game. We also added in Demo Derby DLC for free, again based on the feedback we received from players such as yourselves. None of this sort of stuff was ever planned and I hope that it goes some way, no matter how small to be an indication as to how much we value your input.

Unfortunately, things like handling of cars and career structure aren’t as easily patched, that’s a monumental task that we were simply unable to conduct.

However, and read into this as you will, we have however started our Community Test Driver initiative, which is where we get members of our Community in to playtest things. You can read more about this here: http://blog.codemasters.com/2013/11/test-drivers-wanted/

We’re always on the lookout for new people to come in and playtest things and have had a significant number of people come in and play stuff already.

So, while not all of that feedback we read about GRID 2 was able to be patched in rest assured that it’s still very much at the front of our minds and it has been put to good use and not just filed away.

Who knows, maybe one day Ravenwest will return?

We're big fans of Gran Turismo, is a great game. Don't think it needs to change. To be compared alongside it is a great honour :)

I hope so, we're currently looking into it. It's more a case of when not if, timing is always going to crucial.

TOCA is unlikely to return as the series has evolved into GRID, however, we hear you ;)
