Over a year ago, we brought you news of the next entry in the GRID series of racing titles. That was just pre-alpha footage, however. Today we, uh, post-alpha footage, I guess. This short teaser trailer basically says, "Hey you! Yeah You in the tie; do you remember racing?" Well, do you remember racing? If the answer is no, Codemasters seeks to change that with the release of the very first proper GRID 2 gameplay video on February 14. This is especially good news if you happen to be dating Codemasters.
Los Angeles, Calif. – Feb. 9, 2013 – Today Codemasters® released a new GRID 2™ gameplay teaser trailer at http://youtu.be/Bph8lz-1n6Y, giving a snapshot of the relentless, high-impact and aggressive thrills that lie at the core of the game’s cinematic race experience. The teaser trailer also dates the release of the first extensive gameplay video, which is set to premiere on February 14.
GRID 2, the long-awaited sequel to the BAFTA-award winning, critically acclaimed GRID™, will race to stores across North America on May 28 for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Windows® PC.
GRID 2 will challenge players to be fast, be first and be famous.

From Paris to Abu Dhabi, Chicago to the sun-kissed California coast and beyond, beautifully created city streets, licensed circuits and edge-of-control mountain roads will become home to the most visceral and exhilarating racing yet.
GRID 2 will also set new standards for a racing multiplayer experience with an entirely distinct and extensive gameplay component and unique progression system. Deep customization options and integration with RaceNet – the online community portal for Codemasters Racing games which tracks player’s races, rewards and rivals – will offer further immersion and connectivity in GRID 2’s new world of motorsport.
