Codemasters outlines Formula One vision

Game to release later this year as part of a ‘phased approach’ over a number of years

After omitting the game from its big 2009 announcements last month, publisher Codemasters has told MCV of its plans for its upcoming Formula One title.

“Our game is an opportunity to bring F1 back on multiple platforms to a broader marketplace,” marketing vice president Alex Bertie told MCV.

“Our vision for F1 is about making it exciting again as a video game property. We can’t talk about how we will do that yet, but we have big plans that will not just be one huge game later this year, but a phased approach over a number of years.

“There’s a great alignment of ethos there that a UK studio is working on the game of a sport whose current champ is a young ambitious British driver.”

Back to the days of Geoff Crammonds kind of Formula Racing with Codemasters.... hmmm, sounds to be more a wish, than a reality..... I guess we will see something much more arcadish..... And looking as sales potential that might not be stupid, evan that I agree it is a shame sim-racing is limited to smaller hardcore community racing...... But long live "LIVE FOR SPEED"
