Codemasters bought by Take-Two Interactive. Cancel that. EA

Well that will see a change in direction. Not a bad price though. Linky link link

Fingers crossed for a new Dizzy game

Maybe a new footy manager game that isnt just spreadsheets but like the old cooler manager games like player manager on psx 1 or somit. And hopefully not information overload but more simple like the older games.

Code masters got the license to WRC games wonder where that leaves the dirt and racing games from codemasters. F1 2K22?, WRC 2K22? Or will will we see an open world rally game from rockstar .

They probably won't change anything though.

Need to update the title to 'EA'

They've upped the bid to $1.2 billion and looks like it's going through as CM are backing it

Both T2 and EA are equally scummy microtransaction obsessed companies so this is a terrible deal for any fans of Codemasters

Dirt rally 2 pulled content as dlc and the amount of it makes cm as scummy

CM still have fans? Their F1 games are very similar to the "updates" the Fifa games receive.

You don't get to be a $1.2billion company without some loyal fans

EA sure has the BEST fans

Microtransaction GRID. So excited for this...

Need for Dirt: Not Wanted.

Codemasters own the license to the next official WRC games so I'm a little worried.

Wrong thread

EA

R.I.P Codemasters.

The two companies are ideal for each other.

I was gutted when I read the news, particularly as the F1 games have been steadily improving. Plus when you buy the game you know you own the game... sure there have been special editions with extra cars but I fully expect the next version to have looooooooots of paid DLC

 

[cheesyboy]

The real value of the deal is in the Dizzy IP. Looking forward to the annual release cycle of eggcellent adventuring.

I remember the interview many years ago when it was just two guys in their bedrooms programming.

Wasnt Cannon Fodder also Codemasters? Another Cannon Fodder or just a HD remake would be nice
