Codemasters get F1 Game Rights

(again, no detail of console or PC version, its here because there are generally more inteligent discussions than the kiddy filled console forums)

Codemansters have gotten the rights to make F1 games from next year.....

Good/Bad/Ugly? We will have to see what GRID is like to see there track hadling. Codemasters made the BTCC series a great success, but it wasnt exactly because they were realistic.

This could be mega news for F1 on PC. If they do it right we could see F1 games back on the PC where they belong.

I wouldn't mind an F1 manager game mind.

Im not so sure. Im a firm beliver that driving games belong on a console, and FPS games belong on a PC. Then again, ive never liked F1 games, so im not sure why im even bothered lol..

Hmm so you don't like GP4/LFS/rFactor?

in a word, no

But thats mainly because ive never tried GP4, hated the rFactor Demo, and tried LFS and its impossible without a wheel. I used to be a massive GT fanboy. Ive got no desire to pay £100+ to allow me to play serious driving games on the PC with a wheel. But then again, I dont have a console either atm...

I dunno why, ive just always prefered driving games on a console, and they have had the large majority of them too (lots being rubbish to mind)

We need a modern F1 management sim. The last one I remember is Microprose's GPM2 - ancient, not particularly detailed in some aspects and has naff graphics (although the latter is forgivable considering its age).

Im not a fan of management games at all really, but the sheer number of people who suggest such things means there is definately a market for it.
