Codemasters gets F1 Liscense

psuedohippy · 09-05-2008, 12:39 PM

Hey, at least we will get it on the 360 this time but I hope they dig deep and find a way to respect the liscense and make a proper sim out of it! :-)

The link's not working for me. Hopefully its a temporary thing, and not a retraction of the report.

If this game is like DiRT, GRID it will fail.

C'mon Codemasters, this is your final chance of redemption. If you mess this up, the uproar will be like no other.

It will most likely be like DIRT, thus being ****.

No retraction, codemasters already set up the forum community for it this morning.

And yes, they better not make this like Dirt and Grid. Someone asked if the engine could make a sim and they said YES, they could do a sim with the game engine already chosen. I tend to doubt it though.

Not a big racer faN, BUT i know codemasters did micro machine for the ps2, and it ruled. so therefore, this game will rule. Impeccable logic.

IIJoshIII · 09-05-2008, 11:21 PM

DIRT ****ing sucked so this will suck. Impeccable logic.

Exactly. But Micro was much cooler, so my logic is better.

Whats with all the hate for Dirt? Either this F1 game is going to be a hardcore sim or its going to be ****

Dirt was class

I'm playing Overlord right now, and it is pretty dang fun. Developed by codemasters. Are they just a hit or miss company? Or mostly miss?

They are normally Hit, hit and more hit...but they decided to go after the mainstream market with their recent racing games (DIRT and GRID) and pissed off most of their following in the process.

TOCA 2, TOCA World Touring Cars, TOCA Race Driver, Colin McRae Rally, Colin McRae Rally 2.0, Colin McRae Rally 3...ah, good times -- long forgotten

So it's make successfull mainstream games, that the whole market enjoys and make millions from them.
Or make boring games for the hardcore fanbase to keep them happy, and make thousands?

Don't ever go on the apprentice scott.

Yeah because I don't understand basic economics...

Of course I know they will get more sales but I can still moan about it. It's like your favourite rock artist changing to pop, just because it would get them more sales. SELL OUTS!

Oh and the older games are not more boring...it's the fact 95% of the console 'tards can't handle them. Idiots.

Give you that one, so many PC game series have been dumbed down for consoles.

Jacksmith28 · 10-05-2008, 04:33 PM

Codemasters FAIL

so...

F1 FAIL

Sorry Scott :/

friedkarma · 13-05-2008, 10:42 AM

How about we at least wait for a demo before passing judgement? Is it going to be simplified for consoles? Probably. Does that mean it would be any less entertaining to play? Not necessarily.

IIJoshIII · 13-05-2008, 11:30 AM

This are mere judgements, impressions, and predictions.

You forget that if a racing game isnt 110% realistic and over the top boring that scott and josh don't find it fun.

Dirt was a good game.
