Will it be included with the Steam version, as I'll probably end up with that?

Why not get the game out then release a demo? That way you can focus on finishing it first, then people who aren't sure can try the demo later. Just an idea!

POLL: My prefered discipline in GRID AUTOSPORT is:
VirtuaIceMan replied to P308R's topic in General Discussion
Touring, as it's the thing that the TOCA/GRID games have over other games. Just about... -
I do have a slight sense of fear about GRID Autosport. It seems announced and released far too quickly, almost as though Codemasters thought GRID2 didn't sell well enough, so they undid a bunch of things, re-added GRID1 features, popped in some tracks from GRID1 (okay re-textured) and some from F1, then whack it out as a new game. I'd love to be proved wrong, but seeing the blurry in-car cam (similar to the mod for GRID2) and the list of things changed back to how they were with GRID1 (handling, cockpit, semi-sim, teams, etc), it does sound a bit rushed out. I've watched the F1 games go from the brown/grey stained F1 2010, to something that almost approaches the colourful look of Grand Prix 4, and can't help but wish GRID Autosport had the same sort of naturalistic colouring, as seen in the TOCA Race Driver series. I also yearn for the range of vehicles/championships in the TOCA games. I thought Codemasters had cornered the market with TOCA Race Driver 3, never before in any game had so much varied, well, autosport (heh) been collected into one game. And much of it based on real-life cars or championships. I wish we could have some more of that, ducking from classic F1 to rally, to truck racing, touring car, GT, lawnmowers...! Anyway maybe that's a ghost of Codemasters' past. It's a bit of a shame. Although get some real life championships into GRID Autosport and I'll change my mind! The fields of identical IndyCars in GRID2 just didn't seem very realistic... Maybe for GRID Autosport 2 you could start with a handful of licensed series, then add more via DLC? Who here would buy a game with nothing but the BTCC in it, for example, then add the championships/series they want to, later? Anyway food for thought, I'm rambling now. p.s. I hope Brands Hatch is in GRID Autosport, as it'll then have been in all the TOCA/Race Driver/GRID titles...

I find the last part of the video to be telling, the "Limited Black Edition" ships with 1 car (SLS Black Series), 5 Ravenwest liveries, 20 Online Livery patterns and 10 Premium sponsors... so hopefully we won't be bombared with pre-release "which version should I get" type DLC this time! p.s. Codemasters, if you make DLC in future, why not add a whole new sub-genre to the disciplines (e.g. add for example Formula E) with DLC consisting of cars and tracks in one pack, that way we can decide what championships to add (and you can evaluate whether there's more desire for a particular type of DLC). Just a thought!

Regarding DLC for this new game, make it so there's no matchmaking issues if only some of the players have the DLC. And perhaps make the DLC bigger, i.e. a whole championship, rather than a handful of cars.

I agree that the font is a bit sharp to read, it is very narrow and thin. This Trebuchet MS font looks more readable to me.Or even Verdana, looks more readable. What does everyone else think? have a play with the fonts drop down :-)
