Codemasters are on fire right now

This year is one of the best for racing game fans. Later this year will see the release of Gran Turismo Sport (the first in the franchise to come to PlayStation 4), Forza Motorsport 7, Project CARS 2, and Need For Speed Payback. What should be noted though, is that Codemasters has already been killing it this year.

They're an amazing developers. Probably one of my best racing developers behind Criterion, after they bought Evolution Studios.

Marcello2441d ago

They are amazing Devs & i love em but Dirt 4 is total rubbish, a throwback after Dirt Rally. I even tried to get a refund i disliked it so much. I have no opinion on F1 2017 not played it and have no interest in it. Grid 3 should be there next game next year spring. I await with much anticipation.

They sure killed Micro Machines.

sizeofyou2440d ago

That's certainly true. Dent in the reputation I can't ignore for the future. Be wary of other tripe they may try and release...

EazyC2440d ago

They should do another GRID, the first one was phenomenal when it came out

KyRo2440d ago

It's a great year for sims or near-sim like games but apart from Need for Speed, where are the arcade racers gone? Wheres the Motorsport, ridge racers, Split Seconds, Burnouts of this gen? The closed I've played to a good arcade racer this gen is GTAO and that's not even made as a racer.

Ironically number 9 can save them at this point (releasing games on multiple platforms)

OtterX9h ago

You could add the naming scheme for the consoles, it just confuses customers. I know they wanted to avoid traditional numbering bc it would always be lower than their competitor, but this whole 360 then One then Series thing is confusing af. Imagine a Soccer Mom trying to figure this stuff out. I still mistakenly call the Series X the One from time to time on accident.

RNTody9h ago

Don't forget about the Xbox One, Xbox One X and Xbox Series X! Good luck to Soccer moms around the world.

Phil Spencer is the worst that has happened to Xbox.
They built a respectable brand up to Xbox one. Then this guy took over and things became a joke

Reaper22_4h ago

He still has his job. Something you can't say about Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga3h ago

Both bad execs. One is on job and one thankfully retired.

MaximusPrime_6h ago

Really good video.

I remember the days with RRoD was big news on here, N4G.

Microsoft had it turbulence number of years.

Looking at the success of Sea of Thieves despite being 6 years old, time to release Halo, Forza horizon 4 & 5 on PS5. It'll help their revenue

shinoff21833h ago(Edited 3h ago)

2 of the 4 games they did already sold really well. So it's definitely going down. Idk about halo or forza but I feel those studios they've bought in the last 5 years, their coming

ChasterMies12m ago

I found this video painful to watch. Can someone list them out?

Top 10 for me from are:
1. 2013 reveal presentation
2. Bundling Kinect 2 with Xbox One
3. RRoD or why rushing to market with hardware is always a bad idea.
4. Buying studios only to close them.
5. Ads on the Home Screen
6. Letting Halo die.
7. Letting Geard of War die.
8. Every console name
9. Charging for Xbox Live on Xbox 360 when Sony let PS3 players play online for free.
10. Cancelling release of OG Xbox games after the Xbox 360 launched.

Stellar Blade has sold more physical copies than Dragon's Dogma 2 in Japan, despite PS5 exclusivity

By the looks of it, PlayStation 5 exclusivity does not hurt the sales of Stellar Blade in Japan as the game has passed 90,000 sold physical copies.

Hugodastrevas1d 2h ago

Stellar Blade really deserves way more praise than it got, devs have been adding more and more content, for free, since release and the game already was great to begin with!

BrettAwesome1d ago

More than it got? It got tons, by everyone except the sad wankers who's idea of a sex life, is pulling on their dicks while watching big fake cgi titties 😂

gerbintosh10h ago

Don't see the difference between cgi titties and fake boobs. Also no difference to wanking it to either one of them since both aren't physically there

RiseNShine7h ago

Salty that the game is doing well hm? ;) I suggest some cheese with your whine.

Skuletor4h ago

So you're saying the people that like watching CGI tits didn't praise the game? An educated guess is you meant the opposite.

BrettAwesome3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

@Risenwhine
What the fuck are you talking about? I think it looks like an awesome game. I don't get the sentiment that it didn't get as much praise as it deserved. The only ones who's been shit talking it, are sad wankers with no sex life. Am I whining? How? 😂

I think we can safely claim that Stellar Blade 2 is confirmed!
I got it day one, i have some backlog due to RDR2 i just platinumed.. i will get to Stellar Blade in the near future

shinoff218323h ago

Same but I'm hitting yakuza right now. Stellar blade looks cool though.

neutralgamer199222h ago

Capcom really dropped the ball with DG2. They had easy success on their hand but instead with their stupid decisions ruined the games success

Stellar blade is an amazing game and deserves all the success. For all the artificial hate it got from people who had no interest in the game to begin with this shows if you make a good game it will sell. The so called 1st party drought from PlayStation has meant 4 exclusives in 2024 so far. Other companies need to learn how to run a business and plan for the future

H91d 2h ago

Stellar blade is performing very impressively there, DD2 didn't do well because word of mouth destroyed it's reputation and not about the Microtransactions or performance, bad word of mouth about how the game lacks so many things that were in the first one

Redemption-641d ago

DS2 sold 2.5M in a little over a week, what the hell are you talking about?

H923h ago

"there", that's Japan, this article is about Japan, the bad word of mouth is about Japan

Hereandthere1d 1h ago

Exclusives matter. No matter what bumbling phil and bond try to say, exclusives is why you buy a console.

The_Hooligan21h ago

How dare you speak common sense!!??

jznrpg16h ago

It would if they added a lot more combat and didn’t focus on graphics

XiNatsuDragnel1d 1h ago

Stellar blade is great excited for 2

anast1d ago

They dropped the ball with dogma. SB is a solid game, it just had to weather the social storm.

shinoff218323h ago(Edited 23h ago)

Said that dd2 was missing things the first one did,like mass effect 2? I haven't played it so I'm really asking.

spss1121h ago

I've played both and I have no idea what people say when they claim it's "incomplete". I've only noticed new things in comparison to DD1 (I would give a list but spoilers). Sometimes I wonder if some people actually played DD1 or maybe they remember it differently. Anyways, if you liked the first one and want more of that, you'll probably like DD2.
