Codemasters announces release date, platform and details of their latest licensed Formula One racing title for 2010.
Got a PS3 or 360? Then there'll be no Formula One for you this year.
The latest issue of the UK Official PlayStation Mag reckons the PS3 version's been pushed back to next year. And (surprise, surprise) now sources 'in the know' have told us the 360 version won't be out until 2010 either.
Our source said that Wii and PSP F1 games would be released later this year, but only because Codemasters doesn't "want to piss off the rights holders." Which really fills us with confidence.
I wonder if Sony and Polyphony Digital will add F1 to GT5.
Sure Sony no longer have the fights to 'Formula 1' (such as the drivers and commentary etc) but that doesn't stop Sony and PD from adding the tracks and cars and thus creating a whole new set of events purely for an F1 division.
The Ferrai 07 F1 car is there, I think it's possible to see more and make GT5 a far more fully fledged experience then it is going to be.
I'm fairly certain that's part of the reason Sony let the license go.
They'll have the rights to the F1 cars and teams, even if they don't have the drivers names, so it'll allow them to have F1 events, even if not named as such.
I think their liscence only covers past years of the sport... So like 07 and 06 cars.
Not sure though =/
To have a Formula 1 race.. you need to have 20 cars.
So far GT5P can only manage 16... let's hope GT5 will be able to handle 20 F1 cars though...
:)
It'd be more like Sony to have a 'Gran Turismo: Formula 1' spin-off or downloadable game/add-on. Why give people one game when they'll happily pay for two?
Strangely, I’d actually prefer to see more F1 cars in GT5/GT5P than I would a standalone F1 game. And yes, I probably would pay for it.
I'd probably prefer a downloadable pack, to a spin-off game. So then it's at least part of the same game, even if you have to pay extra.
The thing is, F1 could be too big an idea to limit to a download pack.
Yeah, if the licence was too expensive for Sony to make it work as a full game, it'd probably be too expensive to work as a DLC pack for an existing title.
Then again, Codemasters do make good driving games, so the PS3/360 version might yet be OK. I just hope the Wii/PSP version isn't too bad...
Well, the 360 and PS3 versions are being held back, presumably to make sure the quality is good, but the Wii/PSP versions are going to be rushed out to appease rights holders...
So those versions will probably be crap.
What about GRID 2?
