I'm never going to be sold on a racing game via a chase, or mostly chase cam video. Sadly, most of the developers and publishers of racing games are still stuck in this rut of showing them from that perspective!?

Re: GRID Video - Featuring F1 World Champion & Race Consultant, Fernando Alonso

I would assume that it is a telemetry thing. I bet the vast majority of racing gamers use the chase the cam.

Hell, while I am in cockpit view 90% of the time in Forza proper, I suspect that number is closer to 25% in Horizon. I choose cam based on the context of the challenge, and in Horizon, chase cam makes many of the challenges easier to do, and it still flipping amazing.

A lot of the time, it is more fun to see your car doing the things you are doing, which is what made the cost and hassle of 4K and HDR worth it. GRID seems like it will tilt enough at the arcade side that I wouldn't be surprised if my cockpit view was closer to 60% of the time.

Mainly, I choose a camera by what feels and looks best. I have no intent to fight the camera out of some cockpit view purity. I suspect the vast majority of gamers never use the cockpit view, to be honest, especially outside of Forza, Gran truism, and other more sim oriented racers. Even in those games, I bet chase cam is still the most commonly used cam.

In-car view is out, after Codemasters' research discovered that 95 per cent of players use chase or bonnet cameras to play.
It seems like this version of GRID will have incar view, but I suspect it is still a far from popular mode.

Yeah, I always knew the chase camera was more popular, and that cockpit view was down to between 5 and 10%. I can go with bonnet/hood cam along with cockpit view. I don't use cockpit view in F1 2019 because it's so restrictive, I use the TV pod cam there.

The reason I hate the chase cam is that it makes the car look like it's pivoting on a center mounted pole and makes it feel and look less immersive.

I just wish the videos they make of these would give those who don't use chase cam a longer glimpse of what the game looks like from the bonnet/hood cam and the cockpit cam. They often just flash them up for a few frames and it's hard to gauge what they really look like, in game.
