Codemasters today announced Race Driver One� , the third generation in its acclaimed 8-million+ selling motorsport series. The title is now in development at Codemasters Studios, creators of genre-leading motorsport video games, and will arrive in 2008 for leading console platforms and PC.
Race Driver One� will be a true evolution for the series, which first appeared as the TOCA (DTM/V Touring Car games (1997�2000) and became the TOCA (DTM/V Race Driver series (2002-2006). Taking the series from ultimate racing simulation to ultimate racing stimulation, Race Driver One� will be the next technical showcase for Neon, the studio's proprietary middleware system that is already driving Colin McRae: DIRT� in incredible detail.
Challenging players to become the number one race driver in a new world of exhilarating motorsport, Race Driver One� will take players on a tour like never before; to beautifully realised racing locations through Europe, the U.S., Japan and beyond. The game will feature the most extensive range of events in the series, combining official circuit-based championships with road races and urban street competitions.
"As each generation of gaming formats shifts up a gear, so does this series and Race Driver One is set to evolve the previously headlined TOCA (DTM/V titles as much as DIRT has the Colin McRae series," says Gavin Raeburn, Executive Producer at Codemasters Studios.
"Combining our racing heritage with the Neon engine, Race Driver One will create a world that goes far beyond the traditional boundaries of motorsport gaming, taking players from the most prestigious race circuits to road and street events around the globe. A completely fresh career structure will engage players in an unprecedented range of racing styles as they build a team capable of becoming number one. The Neon engine will be expanded to deliver a new level of visual detail, physics and an astonishing car damage system."

"Codemasters forgot to mention that the handling will be complete bobbins and that you wont be able to drive any car on any track. It also wont be designed with wheels in mind and so will have a deadzone the size of Texas.
But look at the shiny graphics" |

Can I join in?  Is it that hard to make a good game, or only a wheel support? They always say, that their next game will be brilliant, a revolution, wow... And when you try it: OMG, such a crap, how can somebody enjoy it? It's harder than a sim, because it has such crap physics and wheel support (the "texas problem"  ). Look at LFS. A few people made one of the best racing games ever, and it is not hard to control, if you have a wheel. FWD cars can be controlled good even with keyboard.

Whatever
You can't really blame Codies when their games sell as well as they do. |

OMG. 8 million copies? WTF, that means there's 8 million people out there that have no idea what realism/car control is about. Lol, but why would you change it when you are selling 8 million copies and you only spent 10 minutes designing the physics for each of the cars lol. They probably write the physics sitting on the beach sipping their coronas.

Here's another quote:

To be fair, the game isn't out yet so we should wait and see.
Wait a minute . . . that's what I said for the last 3 games and got burned.
Ok, continue the bashing.  |

And it's scary to know that many of those drive a real car on the streets.
