Hmm I'm slightly concerned with this and Borderlands being last gen/PC only. Does this mean that the next gen versions are likely to miss out on PC ports?

Lol no. PC will get the best of all worlds this gen, when it comes to multiplatform ports. Next gen versions are almost guaranteed to have an equivalent PC port as well, unless of course they're just enhanced versions of the last gen games.
Case in point, the Tomb Raider DE that just came out for the PS4/XBONE.
Dat x86 architecture.

The game is a console port. Your playing a PC game that is using 9 year old hardware as the baseline. So yes, it's last gen only.

GRID 2 looked amazing, more so then other current gen games.
So if it has the same look, it can definitely be considered current gen on PC.

I sure hope so, but this smells a little fishy to me. It's not unheard of either with PC getting ports of last gen sports games etc. Tomb Raider is a bad example, because they haven't patched the DE additions into the PC version because reasons right?
It just seems weird. They want to make a splash with the next BIG entry on the next gen consoles so don't want to water it down with up-ports... but they don't have the same concern about PC entries?

Dammit. Newgen deserves better racing than a sterile NFS, a neutered Forza, an infinitely delayed Driveclub and Project Cars probably being Q2 2015.
After how lousy Grid 2 was, not going to even bother here if there's no PS4 version. Which is a shame since they seems to be going back to real-world content which is what I loved from the older Codemasters stuff. Even if it's pretty good as some middle ground between the first Grid and a ToCA title its fate is sealed as a flop on PS360. At least put F1 2014 out on the new machines, please.

Green Man Gaming had Grid 2 Reloaded for £6/$10 USD 2 days ago so it's possible to get the game on the cheap if you know where to look
Screens look good but when don't they? Having said that, aliasing on the A-pillar (white Ford Focus @ Hockenheim) and roofline (yellow Merc) makes me wonder if these screens aren't legit which would be a first from Codemasters in some time.
As a PC gamer, I'm looking forward to see if CM are true to their word however as already noted, if this is a release for just the PC, PS3 & Xbox 360 and skips the new consoles I'll be knocked over with a feather.
Do you remember how upset people were when Pokemon Black (or Black 2? I can't keep up) was announced for DS long after 3DS was out? And that system has BC.... lol
This is a mix of people not wanting to use their old ass 2005 tech and this will likely come out at a time when PS4/XB1 have games, games that people would rather play than play some ugly last gen game at sub-HD and inconsistent framerate.
If you've been keeping up with NPD threads I'm not sure why you'd release a last gen only game anyway, PS4 and XB1 sales are stronger for almost every multiplat outside of casual stuff like Lego 12 and Just Dance 19

No PS4 release? Will wait until it hits the IGC on PS Plus or wait until i can get it for £5
For me, it's simply a matter of convenience and practicality. I don't have space for more than one console. My devices are saturated with cables as well. It simply doesn't make sense for me to plug out the new one and plug in the old console, just for one game, when everything else I've bought is on the new console. Unless something like the last guardian or half life 3 is made old gen only (lol), I'd have no incentive to do that. I know I'm depriving myself of many potentially good games, like this one, but I'm not hardcore enough to experience all of them anyway. Will just look for something else to play instead.
I should learn from you, honestly. I recently bought a WiiU and at this point, I think SNES and GCN are going to the closet
I might switch my PS3 Slim for a Slim Slim because I'm really running out of space, lol, it's going to be terrible when I buy a PS4.I should learn from you, honestly. I recently bought a WiiU and at this point, I think SNES and GCN are going to the closet
SNES and GCN?!
It's been 15-20 years since I touched my SNES!
More likely these last gen games will be lower quality/budget offerings cashing in on popular franchises.
Pretty sure it happened last gen, too.
Looks like they have been trying to tell us something

No PS4 or Xbox One version? DAHELL

Hah, if the release date is true, then my prediction on the yearly installments was right.
Surely with a PC version, Xbox one/PS4 can't be far away? And surely codemasters aren't silly enough to still be doing the 'only announce last gen, then announce current gen separately after 3 months to get double dippers'? The speed at which current gen is transitioning makes that a dumb idea, and for a grid game even moreso IMO.

Fuck last gen. PS3 and 360 are only for free games now.

Got to love it when someone breaks the embargo
Will have all the info for you in due course.

So it's legit. PC/360/PS3 only?

Yes, PC as lead platform for us (it's not a PC port as some have said).
Next-gen GRID will come in time, we're not going to rush that and get a game that can only run at 720/30 or something similar, next gen has to look and feel like 'next gen' for us.

Wow, it really is last-gen only. AMD GPUs typically run Codemaster games really well, GRID 2 was notably good in this regard too. I would expect that with AMD tech in the consoles they'd be a worry-free port. But it's probably not that simple.
A little disappointing. But then again, I'm not a thirsty owner of a current gen console, so it's not keeping me from enjoying the game.

Fair enough. Thanks for clearing that up. Guess I'll have to wait for my turn
Also, PC being the lead platform is good news. Looking forward to some footage!

you mean Current Gen GRID, right? ;D Stop living in the past!

This makes plenty of sense for those used to Codemasters racing games in the past few years. Work on the next gen engine for the future titles, while squeezing one last cash-grab out of the existing, tired engine right now.
Yep, lots of cynicism in my post, but I think CM have treated their releases and their target market with equal, if greater amounts of cynicism in the past few years.

PS360 again?
Sigh, I have to hope this means that the real GRID (GIRD3) is currently in development for the PS4/X1 and will be announced during E3 or shortly thereafter.

Check this thread. They were planning to reveal today anyway.
Yeah 8 AM Pacific, I think.
Oh i know I meant like we could be minutes away because of the tweet.

I'm not getting a sense of a 'hook' here for that much of a diversion. I imagine the name distinction is because they want to save the next numbered release for a current gen game.
Well, the meaning of "Shortly" has changed quite drastically in the past few months. Sigh...
