Formula One pushed back on PS3, 360 until 2010

22
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 =/

1.4 - I wouldnt be too sure...
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.

6.1 - Actually
F1 and Rally are the most important and popular car sports around the world. NASCAR is popular in the US but not so popular outside of the US.

10 - I'm not too sure about Codemasters
I hated GRID.

Here's hoping they wont spoil the F1 game.

Studio Liverpool did a great job with F1CE. An actual sim.

11 - F1 2009 in 2010?
I wonder if they will still call it F1 2009... I don't think that name would sell that well in the year 2010.

Maybe they will chance the name to F1 2009-2010 like there was EA's F1 challenge '99-'02. That's at least what I'm hoping for.

And finally, I'm really excited for this game. There haven't been any F1 games outside of Sony's consoles for how long? Since 2003? So I'm really excited to see what's coming, F1C99-02 is getting pretty boring. (I have never owned any of Sony's consoles)
