Grid 2 (stylised as GRID 2 and known as Race Driver: Grid 2 in Japan) is a racing video game developed and published by Codemasters and is the sequel to 2008's Race Driver: Grid. The game was released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on 28 May 2013 in North America, 30 May 2013 in Australia, 31 May 2013 in Europe and 25 July 2013 in Japan. On 25 September 2014, Feral Interactive released the GRID 2 Reloaded Edition for Mac, and 14 September 2016 in the Arcade.
The game includes numerous real world locations and cities such as Paris. It also includes motor vehicles spanning four decades. In addition, it includes a new handling system that developer Codemasters has dubbed 'TrueFeel', which aims to hit a sweet spot between realism and accessibility. Races do not include a first person cockpit view. The popular gamemode "Drift" was shown in a gameplay preview by Codemasters.
Drivers are given certain cars before some race modes, and can unlock others through other vehicle challenges. Car liveries can be customised by the player, using preset graphic designs adapted with colours or varying shades.
Grid or The Grid may refer to:
In the context of a spatial index, a grid (a.k.a. "mesh", also "global grid" if it covers the entire surface of the globe) is a regular tessellation of a manifold or 2-D surface that divides it into a series of contiguous cells, which can then be assigned unique identifiers and used for spatial indexing purposes. A wide variety of such grids have been proposed or are currently in use, including grids based on "square" or "rectangular" cells, triangular grids or meshes, hexagonal grids and grids based on diamond-shaped cells.
"Square" or "rectangular" grids are frequently the simplest in use, i.e. for translating spatial information expressed in Cartesian coordinates (latitude and longitude) into and out of the grid system. Such grids may or may not be aligned with the gridlines of latitude and longitude; for example, Marsden squares, World Meteorological Organization squares, c-squares and others are aligned, while UTM, and various national (=local) grid based systems such as the British national grid reference system are not. In general, these grids fall into two classes, those that are "equal angle", that have cell sizes that are constant in degrees of latitude and longitude but are unequal in area (particularly with varying latitude), or those that are "equal area", that have cell sizes that are constant in distance on the ground (e.g. 100 km, 10 km) but not in degrees of longitude, in particular.
GRID, released on January 25, 2006, is the eighth original album by the Japanese band m.o.v.e. The catalogue code for this album is AVCT-10156/B with a bonus DVD, and AVCT-10157 without one.
