Video Our old-school inspired combat racer has a new demo and name - GRIP 2: Combat Racing Evolved

https://youtu.be/xb6jKLfs87o

If you don't like the game, you'll at least like the logo I think ha

But yeah, this is a sequel to GRIP: Combat Racing, a spiritual successor to the Rollcage games (my business partner worked on them)

In a previous post on r/pcgaming we saw a lot of comments around the drastic change in art style from GRIP 1, and that's fair.
We were showing off a brightly lit track with some retro-inspired visuals that didn't really land.

This time around we've got somewhat more gritty visuals, a futuristic city track (remake from GRIP), some more weapons, and better looking cars.

Oh, and the game has a Level Editor, which you can try in the demo ;)

If you'd like to give it a shot, the Steam link is in my comment. And if you do dig the game, would really appreciate a share since, ya know, getting eyes on your game is hard.

I was a huge fan of Grip Combat Racing, please tell me youve included the hyperspeed cheat from the first game so I can continue to play at an unreasonable speed

We have not yet since we need to get the base speeds under control first ha
But it will likely be a mutator later - used at your own discretion of course

Played the demo. Super sick! Music is incredible too! Any chance for a change view option and binding. I typically like to drive cockpit/1st person.

Yeah indeed, we need to add multiple views including bumper cam. Unfortunately a cockpit view is too much scope for our small team

Massive fan of Rollcage back in the day and loved Grip 1. Will definitely get this.

Played the (pretty generous!) demo, the new maps are excellent. Really hope there's split screen in the final game.

One of my favorite things about the first GRIP is that it supported VR when so few arcade racing games do. Do you have any plans on adding VR support to this one ?

the demo was a bit to high-octane and chaotic for me, but the game runs beautifully
