TBH - i had completely forgetten that they got bought by EA. EA normally destroy the studios they buy, so not very optimistic long term.

one dud and they are likely gone and no doubt they aren't allowed to take risks so only make bland sequels like that F1 game

eh? They were one of the first to support multiscreen and they were good at it, unless things have changed?

haha no they dont render 3 screens properly like other racing car studio's as the side screens are warped. It looks horrendous!

Yeah you're right, I didn't think about the stretching, thought you meant supporting 3 monitors. The implementation isn't great.

Toca touring cars and Colin Mcrae rally are games i remember fondly from this studio.

Colin McCrae Rally 1-4 owned all of them. And TOCA another great series ruined by going down the got-to-appeal-to-the-yanks mass market approach.

I loved the originals, I think there were 2 good ones?

back when devs made an effort...

Remember when games had commentary too? these aren't sound effects someone overlaid onto the game.
it was part of the actual game.

thats not a codemaster sgame though.
It's crazy how much game studios just stopped caring and do the minimum to make a game feel complete.

Toca 2 was even better if i remember rightly.

LMAO Murray commentary.... "he's hit........!"

1 hit wonder Martin Brundle....whatever happened to him......

I now know a lot of people have left but imagine if EA let them do an underground 3 with all the car customisations and handling from toca/grid, would be day 1 buy for me.

Haven't played TOCA in years, if I remember right, the AI was super aggressive. It was good fun but rage inducing. Random bumps on the track, which will send you spinning etc. Infuriating.

TOCA 2, there was track which had a townhall complete with steps - you could Italian Job in a nineties Fiesta.

They had memory too I remember that, made the mistake of elbowing AI on a corner as if it were a brain dead Gran Turismo bot car and they kicked my arse on the next lap by sending me off the track, didn't make that mistake again lol. Loved the different races DTM and the rest was a better racing game than turismo too

lol yes they always had their easter eggs the original CMR 1 or 2 had a couple cheat modes one was "DIDDYCARS" that turned your car into a model car driving on the track and another TINFOILED that wrapped your car in exactly that
