F1 Games
For years Sony had the right’s to the F1 game’s, so we only ever saw ‘arcady’ games make it onto their own platforms.
However today it’s been announced that CodeMasters have picked up the license, and it’s internal race driver : GRID team will be doing the game, that’s good news, as CodeMasters have a long history of decent racing games (TOCA, McRae, GRID)
Centre to all of their plans is to setup a Formula 1 Online community for the games and players.
"As a world-leading creator of driving games, this alliance with Formula 1 is the jewel in Codemasters’ racing crown and creates an undisputed segment champion,"
"Formula 1 has gone with the best, the segment leader. It has gone to the home of the EGO Engine for quality; it has gone to the company that can host Formula 1 Online, to the company that is streaking away from the pack." - Rod Cousens CodeMasters.
Let’s hope they can re-create the Geoff Crammond glory days of the F1GP games.
