SVP of production at Codemasters, Jamie Macdonald has confirmed that new instalments to the Operation Flashpoint, and Race Driver: Grid franchises are in development.
The F1 24 announcement seems imminent, as the Champions Edition cover and details have surfaced in F1 23's game files after the latest patch.
To Sony, and so many other companies in this industry, the short-term satisfaction and happiness of their shareholders means so much more to them than their employees, their products, and their customers.
IGN writes: "Veteran UK developer Codemasters has suffered a round of layoffs following the launch of racing games F1 23 and EA Sports WRC.
Codemasters owner EA confirmed the redundancies in a statement issued to IGN, although failed to disclose the number of staff affected."
Two development studios will now operate as one working on the future of Need For Speed
Glad to hear that a new OpFlash is on the way, but man I can't wait for Grid 2 and Dirt 3!
I don't really see the point of having both GRID 2 and DiRT 3 in development... but hey, I'll probably end-up with both anyway!
Awesome!
GRiD was one of my favorite racing games ever!
Two racing titles in development seems a little odd to me, as they're sure to just compete with one another. Perhaps different launch windows? Either way, I'd more likely stump up the fifty or so quid for GRID 2 than DiRT 3.
Also good to see that a new Operation Flashpoint is on the way - hoping that there aren't the post-release problems and glitchiness which plagued Dragon Rising, as that could well put me off the brand if it happens again.
Cool Love GRID
