Codies Weekly update 25-04-14

This week is one big huge sigh of relief as we can finally stop teasing you all and start talking about what we’ve been up to these last few months. So let’s get right to it with this week’s Big News which comes courtesy of @BenWalke.
GRID Autosport – Announce Week Recap
It’s been a bit of a whirlwind these last few days since the GRID Autosport announcement and we’ve been completely blown away by the feedback we’ve received, not to mention the enthusiasm that everyone is showing for the game.
Unlike previous announcements where details have been a bit thin on the ground we’ve come out all engines revving this time around but with plenty of information out there we understand if you may have missed one or two things, we’re still playing catch up ourselves!
Not to worry though, we’ve got you covered.
1080p / 60 FPS Footage
If you’ve watched the announcement trailer but want to see it running in glorious 1080p at 60 frames a second then head over to Gamersyde who are exclusively hosting the video.
